Hoax Alert: The Beloit College Note, Graffiti and Swastikas (2017)
There was a little bit of break from the assortment of alleged ‘anti-Semitic hate crimes’ that bloomed like mushroom clouds across the United States during, and immediately after, the successful election campaign of President Donald Trump.
Then in 2017 we were greeted by a new cluster of several ‘anti-Semitic hate crimes’ at Beloit College in Wisconsin.
I quote the ‘Jewish Daily Forward’s’ summary of the incident for the details:
‘A Jewish student at Beloit College in Wisconsin was targeted twice with anti-Semitic messages, including a threatening note.
Last Friday, an anti-Semitic note was found under the door of the student’s dorm room, and earlier this month, a swastika was painted on a dry-erase board on her door, Rabbi Chesky Rothman, who runs a Jewish student center at the small liberal arts college with his wife, confirmed to JTA.
“Kike, You should be gassed for what you say & do on this campus. Be worried cunt,” the note read, according to an op-ed published by The Beloit College Round Table.
In a separate incident, a Beloit student reported Monday that anti-Muslim graffiti and a swastika had been spray-painted next to and on his door. However, the Beloit Police Department said Wednesday that the student in question, Michael Kee, had been arrested after confessing that he had perpetrated the vandalism.
On Monday, Beloit police had said it was investigating “three incidents of potential hate crimes involving two students” at the college.’ (1)
Several things should be noticed here.
Firstly we should note that the text of the note that was allegedly pushed up the door of the student seems kosher enough. It mirrors the internet language commonly used by nationalists and thus is seemingly genuine.
So far so good, but then we note two other things.
In the second instance: the same jewish student is targeted in two separate attacks. Both of which require the attacker to her access to her dormitory. Now if this occurred once then it is possible it was just a one-off incident by a party external to the jewish student’s dorm room.
Two attacks however suggests that the parties responsible for the alleged ‘anti-Semitic hate crimes’ not only had easy access to the jewish student’s dormitory, but also knew the schedules and habits of its residents intimately so as to allow them to avoid getting caught in the act.
This means it is unlikely to be someone from outside the jewish student’s dormitory.
In the third instance: a second student, Michael Kee, was subject to a very similar ‘anti-Semitic hate crime’ with a swastika drawn on his door (as with the jewish student) accompanied this time by anti-Muslim graffiti.
Kee subsequently admitted that he faked these attacks and was arrested.
Now is it likely that there are two different attacks here or are the ‘anti-Semitic hate crimes’ the work of the anti-racist pro-jewish hoaxer Michael Kee?
It seems likely that Kee was connected to the ‘anti-Semitic hate crimes’ allegedly committed against the jewish student, but again the problem of access arises. Did Kee have access to the jewish student’s dormitory?
If he did then he is likely to be responsible, but if not isn’t it more likely that the jewish student faked these attacks herself?
I mean who else had the knowledge, the opportunity as well as the likely motivation (‘to spread awareness of anti-Semitism and hate on campus’) but Kee or the jewish victim?
How likely is it that an ‘evil Nazi’ is responsible for these attacks when compared to Kee or the jewish victim faking them?
The answer is that it isn’t likely at all that there are ‘evil Nazis’ performing ‘anti-Semitic hate crimes’ against jewish students on Beloit College’s campus.
So who else is left?
Michael Kee or the jewish ‘victim’ herself.
Go figure.
