RFK Jr., who recently came under fire for airing an insane and easily disproven conspiracy theory that Covid-19 spared Ashkenazi Jews, has been named “Antisemite of the Week” by StopAntisemitism.org.
The following is the organization’s profile of RFK and his ignominious “honor”:
Robert Francis Kennedy Jr. (RFK Jr.) is a Democratic Presidential candidate for the 2024 election and the third son of former U.S. Attorney General & Senator Robert F. Kennedy. RFK Jr. has veered sharply away from his father’s legacy of unwavering support for the Jewish people and their homeland, choosing instead to embrace the bitter taste of antisemitism in his rhetoric and actions. Upon entering the 2024 presidential election, RFK Jr. appeared to be participating in an ‘apology tour’ for these actions. Unfortunately, the damage – of vile Jew-hatred through the guise of age-old conspiracies – has been done.
In 2015, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. visited Louis Farrakhan and hailed him a “truly great partner” for his involvement in pushing vaccine theories targeting African Americans. In 2019, Farrakhan was named StopAntisemitism’s ‘Antisemite of the Week’ for his atrocious antisemitic rhetoric of calling Jews “termites,” blaming them for the slave trade, making false references to “Jewish power,” and claiming the modern Jewish people are “fake Jews.”
Kennedy later continued to collaborate with the Nation of Islam on vaccine issues and claimed he was not aware of Farrakhan’s history of antisemitism at the time. However, his private diary revealed contradictory statements, expressing concerns about Farrakhan’s antisemitic views as he describes his disillusionment with civil rights leader Jesse Jackson, writing: “His [Jackson’s] love affair with Louis Farrakhan and his Jewish xenophobia are also unforgivable.” Kennedy claimed to have cut ties with the Nation of Islam after learning of Farrakhan’s comments about Jews, but in 2021 Kennedy hosted Tony Muhammad, a Nation of Islam official, to discuss an unfounded claim that scientists were conducting harmful experiments on black Americans through vaccinations.
RFK Jr. also defended Roger Waters who was crowned StopAntisemitism’s ‘Antisemite of the Week’ last month for his continued antisemitism online and throughout his concerts. After Jewish organizations condemned Waters’ actions and speech on Jewish “power” and “control,” RFK Jr. tweeted: “Roger You are the global hero Orwell had in mind when he said “In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act” The high priests of the totalitarian orthodoxies are trying to silence you with censorship, gaslighting and defamation. Please keep speaking truth to power!” Kennedy quickly deleted the tweet and attempted to claim his words were in reference to the COVID-19 vaccine.
On July 15, 2023, video surfaced of Kennedy discussing a disproven claim between COVID-19 and the Jewish people. In the footage Kennedy states, “COVID-19 is targeted to attack Caucasians and black people. The people who are most immune are Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese.” Jewish organizations, the Democratic party, and even members of the Kennedy family were quick to dismiss RFK Jr’s., words as antisemitic.
For centuries, Jews have been at the center of conspiracy theories related to pandemics, wars, slavery, and economic status. The notion that Jews bear the blame for diseases or are somehow immune to their effects harkens back to the medieval period. As with the anti-Jewish conspiracies of the past, there is zero evidence to support RFK Jr.’s claims about COVID-19’s connection to the Jewish people.
On July 20th, 2023, Kennedy testified during the House Judiciary hearing of censorship and claimed, “I want to say this, while I’m on the record, that in my entire life and, while I’m under oath, in my entire life, I have never uttered a phrase that was either racist, or antisemitic.” According to documented statements of his in the past, this is simply false. For example:
Just weeks before Kennedy made this declaration in the House, he met with the vile anti-Jewish rapper, Ice Cube. In June 2020, Ice Cube was named StopAntisemitism’s ‘Antisemite of the Week’ for supporting the beliefs of the radicalized hate group ‘The Black Hebrew Israelites (BHI). ‘The BHI sect maintains that today’s Jews are religious converts who descended from the Khazars, with no historical connection to the land of Israel.
In 2022, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. issued an apology for his remarks insinuating that the conditions under the COVID-19 restrictions and mandates were more severe than those endured by Anne Frank’s experiences during the Holocaust. In response, his wife, actor Cheryl Hines, tweeted separately, distancing herself from his statement and calling it “reprehensible and insensitive.
On June 5, 1968, Sirhan Sirhan, a Palestinian who held strong anti-Zionist beliefs assassinated Senator Robert F. Kennedy Sr. Sirhan murdered the Senator over his open support of the State of Israel. RFK Jr. wrote in the San Francisco Chronicle that he denies that Sirhan is responsible for the death of his father.
The IHRA working definition of antisemitism is a comprehensive guideline that defines antisemitism as a certain perception of Jews, which may target their religion, ethnicity, or the state of Israel. It includes manifestations such as hatred, discrimination, and conspiracy theories about Jewish people. The definition is used globally to help identify and combat various forms of antisemitism.
Those who continually violate this definition of antisemitism – like Robert Francis Kennedy Jr. – should never be in the position of running for President of the United States.

If that’s the greatest antisemite that web site can come up with then Klal Yisrael is doing really well…
He might have some interesting views, but neither he nor they are antisemitic.
you really must read the whole story, this is how horror spreads…..the Kennedy’s are all Pro Israel…….link the lineage of these two peoples…..biblically
You’re a moron if you read exactly what he said and still believe it was antisemitic.
You’re a moron if you believe that he actually exists. Every single photo/video of RFK Jr. is clearly fake. He was made up by Bill Gates and George Soros in order to rig the election and to force us to like tuna and herring. The end is near!!! The Cookie Monster has risen!!!
On a serious note, why don’t I hear anyone talking about his horrendous voice? I can barely make out what he’s saying, and I always have a headache after hearing him speak. I wouldn’t want him to be president just for this.
Bunch of fools glfalling for the biggest smear campaign orchestrated by the Dems. They fear the senile demented president wouldn’t stand a chance in a primary debate.
There are new antisemites emerging every second.
If he’s the anti semite of [only] the week then he’s not so bad…
I’ll believe Bobby Kennedy is anti-Semitic the same way I’ll believe Elon Musk is anti-Semitic
Where does yeshiva world get this total slander garbage article?
Oh right FDA and big pharma how really want him gone from the radar.
You’re a moron if you think it was NOT anti semitic.
When someone says something stupid for no reason other than to portray Jews in a negative way, THAT is anti semitic.
When someone says something without any evidence or reason, you have to ask: WHY?
It’s to attack Jews. That’s all.
Today people actually know how to read, and don’t fall for the christian stupidity anymore, do they need new lies about “modern” Jews (calling them “Ashkenazi”, a term which has zero connection to Jews today except for cultural purposes – European Jews of the 1900’s are a combination of ALL Jews of medieval times, and whose Italian roots go back Temple times).
The fact that the same ppl who say the lies about “power”, say the lies about “not real”, illustrates everything.
It’s unpopular today to attack the “Israelites”, because nobody believes the christian lies anymore since they actually know how to read the bible (if only they could read back then, there would be no respect for new religions, but now it’s too late), so they need to say more lies about not being real

UNQUOTE
The quote which i just pasted states – “For Example”
Yet there’s no real example following that!
Rather it states that RFK met with vile anti-Jewish rapper Ice Cube.
Perhaps that’s because RFK knows that certain groups =have= been targeted?
Those of you who accuse RFK – have you read statistics in his book(s)?
Because there’s no way he’d have risked writing his books without verifiable statistics.
So since I don’t own books he authored, perhaps you’d be so kind as to extract the relevant statistics from within his book(s), SPECIFICALLY the statistics about blacks and caucasians? After which, perhaps you’d be so kind as to include those statistics in the above accusatory article?
Look, i don’t know what’s in his heart. He may well feel antipathy toward Jews in general. For sure he feels that way to the Jewish villains who deserve antipathy. But where’s the facts? WHAT PROOF DO YOU HAVE THAT HIS MEETINGS AND HIS STATEMENTS AREN’T FOR THE PURPOSE OF HILITING THE EVILS OF VACCINES, SOCIALISM, AND ORWELLIAN-STYLE AUTHORITARIANISM? Trump also met with anti-semites, yet that doesn’t make him anti-semitic.
And to ElonMusk: How decent of you to ridicule his voicebox. Of course you wouldn’t know that RFK has reason to suspect his vocal condition was caused by childhood vaccinations. He only began suspecting that AFTER he began researching the entire vaccine issue. If you’d research vid’s and interviews of him, you’d hear him saying that.
The ones against you are the ones trying to kill you in genetics experiments, not necessarily the guy trying to point out research findings about ethnicity affecting ACE2 receptors. RFK Jr. is meant to give a flicker of hope. He’s an actor like the rest.
RFK is ignorant in the COVID situation though. Ashkenzi Jews just didn’t get tested and ignored protocols so we got herd immunity first so OF COURSE the numbers were lower than everyone else 🙂 Chinese – there are way too many variables there to measure anything. They probably all got Omicron and moved on with life.
