WASHINGTON — Jewish government officials are being targeted with antisemitic attacks in a misinformation blitz hampering efforts to get critical information out to victims of Hurricane Helene in North Carolina.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Asheville Mayor Esther Manheimer and Jaclyn Rothenberg, the spokeswoman for the Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA, have been the subject of an onslaught of antisemitic abuse on the social media platform X.

The antisemitism has appeared among a welter of misinformation that has complicated efforts to deliver aid and services to victims of the hurricane. FEMA three days ago created a rumor-refuting page website, and Rothenberg’s professional X feed now reads like a Whac-A-Mole game of knocking away misinformation. One thread last week refuted false rumors that FEMA stole donations delivered to nonprofits.


“There are many dangerous, misleading rumors spreading about #Helene response, which can actively prevent survivors from getting help,” she said on Thursday. “Our top priority is ensuring that disaster assistance is reaching people in need.”

Her replies overflowed with antisemitic comments. “Hey look, a lying Jew,” said one typical commenter. “Oh look you’re Jewish,” said another.
 
Manheimer, the Asheville mayor, is the subject of one of the most viral posts on X. “The Mayor of Asheville, North Carolina is Esther E. Manheimer,” said a post on Friday that accumulated more than 13 million views by Monday. “If you’re wondering: yes, she is.” (The implication, in social media parlance common on the far right, is that yes, Manheimer is Jewish.)

Another post that has acquired close to a million views features photos of Manheimer, Rothenberg and Mayorkas and identifies each as “jew.” Manheimer and the Department of Homeland Security did not return requests for comment.

Rothenberg, a political communications veteran who worked for former New York Mayor Bill DeBlasio’s administration and then for the 2020 Biden campaign, said she has seen nothing like the current round of abuse and misinformation.


“My job is to put out information that helps people during a really difficult time,” she told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency on Sunday. “We’re here to help people on their worst day, and so it’s been really surprising to see the reaction from people on social media who have made it about antisemitism when we’re here to do a job, and that’s to help people recover from Hurricane Helene.”

Corbin cited the conspiracy theory that officials or bad actors control the weather, an antisemitic trope peddled by Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has apologized for her past embrace of the theory that the Rothschild family used space lasers to cause wildfires. She echoed the trope again last week.

“Yes they can control the weather,” she said Thursday on X. “It’s ridiculous for anyone to lie and say it can’t be done.”

Attacking degenerate Zionists while simultaneously defending decent Jews is a thankless pursuit.
Your own efforts are appreciated.

You tried to tell me this about the Zionists many years ago.

It took me a second to get it.

Thanxs.

Yet the so called "Palestinian"savages who wear checkered tablecloths on their heads and faces after losing at least 4 wars are permanent refugees expecting they will be gifted lands that they never owned as a nation. A people with no achievements, no mention in historical literature and possessed by a Death Cult as their sole raison d’etre. A people living entirely on welfare, who's mother's bear sons whom they hope will become suicide bombers to kill Jews.

Mendacious nonsense- as you have been taught to regurgitate.

No occupation = no resistance to occupation.
Jews, go home. Palestine belongs to its indigenous Palestinians.

More proof that MAGA Morons are antisemitic. Trump thought he bought the Jewish American vote with his actions in Israel. When that proved to be wrong, Trump's true colors came out: he's just as antisemitic as "the Squad".

I love it how you keep proving on why Israel needs to, literally, wipe the slate clean in Gaza, Ms. Moon. LOL

Bullshit, Ms. Moon. You prove daily you're antisemitic as you just did in your previous post:

Since the vast majority of Israelis were born there, where do you expect them to go "home" to, Ms. Moon?

You're an antisemite and I fully support killing off all violent antisemites and their supporters so that there will be peace at last in the Middle East.

UN designated ' Israel ' IS their home, lame-lobes. Israel is- legally- a Jewish homeland. It has no legal claim to Palestine whatsoever.
As I said, you are willfully racist.

Nice backpedal, Ms. Moon. Do you agree that if one nation attacks another that the aggressor must face the consequences of their actions?

"Palestine", Gaza or whatever you choose to label shithole harboring a Death Cult lost their rights of sovereignty when they attacked Israel on last year and continue to commit war crimes by holding hostages.
