Here's a new one: coding Jews as "deer" in a town council meeting

NJ.com reports that an antisemite spoke at a Ocean Township meeting, ostensibly complaining about deer, which was really meant as an antisemitic screed, using "deer" as a dog whistle for Jews.

Ocean Mayor John Napolitani said George used references to the township’s deer population as a metaphor for Jewish people, prompting the mayor to have him removed from a July 9 meeting.

The dispute stems from a meeting George attended in June, when the activist — who describes himself on social media as a Christian, public speaker and anti-Zionist — urged the township to curtail herds of deer he described as “out of control.”

In his statement, George suggested the township could move the deer to “Ocean County or upstate New York.”

“It’s impossible to distinguish one deer from another,” George said. “You can try to be friendly with them, but they’re extremely skittish.”

At the meeting, Napolitani and other officials said they would consider ways to address George’s claims, treating his comments as a genuine concern about wildlife.

Napolitani said after the meeting, he and his colleagues learned George’s references to deer were intended as a metaphor for Jewish people.

The speaker is Jeff George, who calls himself "JerseyGoy" online.

His Instagram and TikTok is filled with antisemitic garbage - often "anti-Zionist" as well.

He has over 30,000 followers on Instagram.

George has spouted much more explicit antisemitic screeds to other local councils. In March he told the Long Branch council that the Jews "control the military industrial complex, the news media, the music industry, Hollywood, big tech, big pharma, and all the big banks and banks around the world. They control the ultraprocessed food industry, specifically designed to make us all sick. They own and control all the smut and filth used to subvert Christian society. They were responsible for both world wars. They were responsible for the attacks on 9/11. They were responsible for the COVID pandemic and the poisonous injection that they falsely labeled a vaccine. They were responsible for Jeffrey Epstein and the child sex ringing operation that was used to control US politicians, celebrities, and billionaires through blackmail. And it is more than apparent that international organized Jewry controls our Congress, our president, this council, this mayor, and the mayor's corrupt brother, Congressman Frank Pallone. Whether it be through blackmail or bribery, I cannot be certain, but it is obvious you people have been compromised. Your allegiance is to a foreign nation and not to America. "

Local council meetings have become a hotbed for antisemitism, introduced by anti-Israel speeches nationwide and now the right-wing antisemites are getting on the bandwagon.
