StopAntisemitism Announces Annual “Antisemite of the Year” Poll: Rashida Tlaib, Gigi Hadid, and Ismail Haniyeh among the Candidates
Leading Jewish advocacy and watchdog organization, StopAntisemitism, has recently unveiled its highly anticipated annual “Antisemite of the Year” poll. The organization aims to shed light on individuals who have engaged in or promoted antisemitic behavior throughout the year. This year, US Representative Rashida Tlaib has been named as one of the three candidates in the running for the ignominious title.
In a surprising twist, the other contenders for the award are none other than international supermodel Gigi Hadid and senior Hamas official Ismail Haniyeh. StopAntisemitism has previously designated all three candidates as their “Antisemite of the Week.”
The inclusion of Rashida Tlaib in the poll comes as no surprise, given her controversial remarks regarding the Israel-Hamas conflict. StopAntisemitism has specifically criticized Tlaib for her choice of words, such as using the term “genocide” and defending the “River to the Sea” chant, which some argue promotes violence against the Jewish population.
Last year, rapper Kanye West was selected by StopAntisemitism as the “Antisemite of the Year.” This decision was made due to his contentious remarks against Jewish people, which sparked a major backlash. StopAntisemitism aims to highlight the significance of combating antisemitism and promoting tolerance and understanding in society.
As the poll gains momentum, individuals are encouraged to vote for who they believe should be named the “Antisemite of the Year.” The results of the poll will be announced by StopAntisemitism in the coming weeks, with hopes of raising awareness about the ongoing issue of antisemitism and the need for collective action to address it.
StopAntisemitism continues to strive towards exposing and combatting all forms of antisemitism, underlining the importance of working towards a more inclusive and tolerant society. This annual poll serves as a reminder that efforts to eradicate antisemitism are ongoing and require the active participation of individuals and organizations alike.
