ADL Declares ‘Pepe the Frog’ as Official Hate Symbol

I feel safer already! Glad to see the Jewish Establishment tackling the issues that really matter.

I am sure the Israeli flag is a hate symbol to opponents of the Jewish state and the Cross is a symbol of hate to those who feel oppressed by Christianity.

According to the Bible, those who love God must hate evil. There’s nothing wrong with hate when properly directed.

Forward: The Anti Defamation League (ADL) has added “Pepe the Frog” to its database of online hate symbols. The cartoon frog is a popular meme among “alt-right” Twitter trolls and white supremacists.

Pepe the Frog was originally created in 2005 without any anti-Semitic or racist overtones. At the time, it was simply a meme of a sad frog.

But more recently the frog has been portrayed with a Hitler-like mustache, wearing a yarmulke or a Ku Klux Klan hood.

Pepe has also been used in hateful messages targeted at Jewish and other users on Twitter, according to the ADL.

“Once again, racists and haters have taken a popular Internet meme and twisted it for their own purposes of spreading bigotry and harassing users,” said Jonathan A. Greenblatt, the ADL’s CEO.

“These anti-Semites have no shame. They are abusing the image of a cartoon character, one that might at first seem appealing, to harass and spread hatred on social media.”

Earlier this month, Trump’s son posted a movie poster parody of himself heroically grouped with Pepe and others deemed “The Deplorables” on Instagram.
