Prominent Republicans have seized on campus protests to assail what they say is antisemitism on the left. But for years they have mainstreamed anti-Jewish rhetoric.
Sure, those phrases have been used against Jews, I’m not denying that. I’m also not denying that the Republican party is wrong in most things. But those phrases don’t actually say who is behind the curtain, or puppeting billionaires. They could be implicating anyone.

The use of stylized language like that has long been “I’m blaming Jews, but want to pretend it’s something else when called on it”
Yep, it’s what we call a dog whistle.
