- Farage's comments are typical of how easily this kind of talk becomes antisemitic. I'll give three reasons: https://www.thejc.com/news/uk-news/nigel-farage-condemned-over-jewish-lobby-comment-1.447010 …

— Dave Rich (@daverich1)Tue, Oct 31 2017 14:04:08 - Firstly, the caller asks about AIPAC & "Israeli lobby". Farage turns this into "Jewish lobby" & discusses how many Jews live in the US. /2

— Dave Rich (@daverich1)Tue, Oct 31 2017 14:04:52 - Second, he describes this "Jewish lobby" made up of American Jews as one of several "foreign lobbies". See what he did? /3

— Dave Rich (@daverich1)Tue, Oct 31 2017 14:05:43 - Third, "money and influence" - a classic trope - & he seems to agree with caller's claim that Israel has both parties "in their pockets" /4

— Dave Rich (@daverich1)Tue, Oct 31 2017 14:07:35 - It's quite easy to discuss pro-Israel lobbying in the US without saying any of these things. But he said them. /End
