> So in effect you’re saying that Zuckerberg, Soros, and Sandberg - all jews - are antisemetic.

No, Facebook critics are saying that FB was OK with undermining its critics at all costs, even if that meant dogwhistling for anti-Semitic trolls.

How is Facebook correctly pointing out that Soros funded a smear campaign against them a dog whistle? Is it not possible to criticize money in politics if they’re anyone other than WASPs like the Kochs?

If Facebook was so correct, why did they hire a PR firm to launder that claim?

I'll repeat something I posted in my other comment: Do you believe that George Soros is also actively behind a campaign to destroy Tesla [0]? Reveal has received money through Soros's Open Society Foundations [1].

Soros is also laundering his attacks...

Perhaps I’m being naive but I see two Jewish business leaders fighting a proxy war — and yet one is called antisemitic and one is not. And I suspect it’s because people are only attacking the side they disagree with politically.

You aren’t being naive, but you may be credulous. Whereas there is evidence that FB hired someone specifically to undermine their critics, where is the evidence that Soros commanded his philanthropic grantees to wage an attack against Facebook?

The fact that you provided no evidence to back up your beliefs, but stated only the race of these people, implies that to you, race alone is enough to implicate these people. That is racism.

The fact you see them as Jews and not just People shows your anti-Semitic bias to be honest.

Because he did no such thing. Freedom From Facebook was actually funded by some other lefty with deep pockets. Definers saying a thing doesn’t make it true.

Edit: looks like some Soros money was sloshing around in there, but the primary funding was from elsewhere.

It is possible to criticize money in politics; that's not what Facebook was doing. In fact, Facebook was spending money on politics.

Their act was a dog whistle because it was done with the intent of discrediting Soros (to protect Facebook from his criticisms), and the main way it could achieve that was by appealing to the anti-semites.

Yea pretty much, I thought we all agreed post WW2 that critiquing jews = antisemitism.
