Jewish leaders in Montana concerned about Sheehy, Gallatin Co. Republicans posting • Daily Montanan

Gallatin Co. Republicans posting two social media posts seem to revive old antisemitic tropes of Jewish conspiracy.

Gallatin County Republicans posted a meme that featured a baggy-eyed cartoonish figure of liberal activist George Soros , who is Jewish , controlling former President Barack Obama , in turn, controlling President Joe Biden and Vice President and now- Democratic President nominee Kamala Harris .

The memes play on popular antisemitic tropes, including that the Jews control the media and there are political conspiracies of Jews controlling the political process.

Many of those ideas are embedded deeply within western and European cultures and date back to the time of the Christian Crusades when Jews were not allowed to be full members of European society.

The Montana Jewish Project reaches out to classrooms and teachers throughout the state.

The MJP is becoming more of a resource for those who don't know about Judaism or its deep roots in Montana .

After the Hamas attack on Israel , the number of antisemitic acts have been increasing, not just here but nationwide.
