Is Kat von D anti-Semitic?
Katherine von Drachenberg – better known as Kat von D – is an American television personality, tattoo artist and frequently believed to be major figure in anti-vaccination movement. (1) She has also been charged with ‘anti-Semitism’ (aka lèse-majesté towards Red Sea Pedestrians) several times in recent years.
David McAfee’s suitably dubious attempt to argue Kat von D is some kind of ‘neo-Nazi’ was published in 2018 over at Patheos and I thought I would do a spot of debunking.
The main thrust of his charge in the short article is follows:
‘The most explosive allegation against Von D came in 2008 when she was labeled the “next Mel Gibson” for reportedly sending a racist and hateful note to her Jewish boss, Ami James, after being fired from Miami Ink.
TMZ has obtained the photograph in question, a headshot of Kat that reads, “Burn in hell Jewbag.” No one witnessed Kat write the message, but Chris Garver, another tattoo artist on “Miami Ink,” tells TMZ Kat personally handed him the photo. When Ami, who is Jewish, received the photo, sources tell us he went to TLC and was rebuffed. We’re told after Ami had a lawyer intervene, TLC went to a handwriting analyst who concluded “there is a 99% probability that Kat Von D” wrote the message.
In early July 2007, Ami’s lawyer went to TLC with the analysis. They simply sent him a letter back that acknowledged receiving the results and said, “We trust that this information will be kept strictly confidential.”
Kat’s spinoff show, “LA Ink,” premiered a month later.
When contacted about the photo, Ami told TMZ he wasn’t as offended by the photo as he was by the indifference toward it, saying, “What is more devastating to me, and much more shameful is when people ignore something like this for the sake of the money or self-interest. That is the real ‘punch in the gut.'”’ (2)
So basically Kat von D allegedly sent her jewish ex-boss Ami James a message including the words ‘Burn in hell Jewbag’ and this is supposedly anti-Semitic. Except that it isn’t actually anti-Semitic; it is merely angry words that are roughly equivalent to calling someone a bastard or bitch after they fired you. In McAfee’s retelling of the narrative – despite his best efforts – it is James who comes across as the head case with a vendetta not von D as he promptly went after her and tried to destroy her career even though she has explicitly denied being either ‘anti-Semitic’ or even part of the anti-vaccination movement. (3)
Jews aren’t known for being a forgiving bunch especially if they think they have power over you.
Even funnier is McAfee’s attempt to continue the argument.
To wit:
‘Of course, Von D has denied the allegations (she claims it’s forged) and the TV network said there isn’t enough evidence to prove it was her, so no disciplinary action was taken. But there are some pretty concrete examples of Von D’s anti-Semitic behavior, including her comparison of eating meat to the holocaust in 2017.’ (4)
Oh dear. You cannot possibly compare the so-called ‘Holocaust’ to anything, because as we all know the ‘Holocaust’ is sacred and without precedent in human history except for maybe… say Stalin’s Purges or the Holodomor or Winston Churchill starving millions of Indian citizens to death in Bengal in 1943… that y’know occurred at or around the same time. Nor are non-jews allowed to be victims of jewish persecution because that is ipso facto ‘anti-Semitic’ even if it is perfectly true. (5)
Oh, but sorry I forget… the only lives that matter are those of jews not mere goyim.
The fact that McAfee even tries to claim that Jesse James was and is some kind of ‘neo-Nazi’ at the end of his so-called argument in order to bolster his pathetic excuse for a case for labeling someone the modern equivalent of a ‘witch’. (6) Is telling in that he has no real evidence of Kat von D’s so-called ‘anti-Semitism’ and is effectively spit-balling in the hope of being noticed and rewarded by the self-chosen masters of the universe.
