The Spin

Right narrative

Hunter's joke, perpetuating the stereotype that Jews are mean and avaricious, would spark outrage if directed at any other minority, yet liberal audiences gave it a pass. This double standard proves anti-Semitism remains the one acceptable form of racism in progressive circles, where hostility toward Israel bleeds into hatred of Jews. This exposes how modern elites selectively apply anti-racist principles.

Left narrative

The court exposed the Campaign Against Antisemitism's true motive: canceling a comedian through abuse of the legal system. The judge found the CAA misled the court by hiding that Hunter's posts were responses to extensive attacks against him, not unprovoked antisemitism. This ruling demolishes a vexatious pressure group's attempt to weaponize courts for political censorship instead of genuine justice.
