L’Shanah Tovah! Twitter Ridicules Valerie Plame for Warmongering Jew Tweet
On Thursday, Ex-CIA operative Valerie Plame shared an article titled “America’s Jews Are Driving America’s Wars” on her Twitter account.
America’s Jews Are Driving America’s Wars https://t.co/oUH7b0QPMt

Plame subsequently attempted to back off from the article by playing the “retweets don’t equal endorsements” card — however, her post wasn’t a retweet, she shared it herself with no added commentary. Additionally, in her attempt to walk-back the antisemitic article, she actually flat-out endorsed it by calling the piece “thoughtful” and stating “many neocon hawks ARE Jewish”:
1) First of all, calm down. Re-tweets don’t imply endorsement. Yes, very provocative, but thoughtful. Many neocon hawks ARE Jewish. https://t.co/m5oGgKPo2a

The so-called “thoughtful” piece was written by a former CIA official and it argues that American Jews promote war in the Middle East as a way of supporting Israel.
Her tweets supporting the article were met with immediate Twitter backlash, as the online community came together for a bipartisan roasting session of the day’s antisemite:
Wishing Valerie Plame a sweet new year — l’shana tovah! By the way, the day of atonement is just around the corner.
