    So basically find tweets and press statements I already referred to so that you can insist they aren’t good enough.

    I have thus far reiterated my original post because I understand you aren’t the only one with reading comprehension issues.

    But this is WHY dog whistles exist. They allow bad actors and useful idiots to insist nothing bad was said. And the idea that The Jews control the world’s media is as old as the printing press

      You are missing the point; yes, the point of a dogwhistle is to appear innocuous. Which is precisely why, sans supporting evidence, you cannot simply assume that innocuous speech is a dogwhistle. A term that only ever implies something bad isn’t a dogwhistle. You have to have other patterns of behavior that back up interpreting the innocuous language as that… and you don’t.
