This reeks of a well-funded and orchestrated PR campaign to neuter Israel criticism at all cost. They're really grasping at straws here, and I get the feeling that if the outrage doesn't stick they'll suddenly stop talking about her at all and start stockpiling their money/energy for the next semi-tone deaf comment they can twist into a chest-thumping crusade against "antisemitism".
The way I remember that Affect is active. You affect things. Effect is passive, and is the result of something. Affect is a verb (and I think sometimes can be a descriptor). Effect is always a noun. So you can have the resulting effect of an experiment, but if you mess with some variables, you have affected the effect.
Though, in this case, you're turning the noun into a verb, so you could make the case for either use I think. If you hyphenate it though you can leave it as is without thought. "Streisand-effecting.
Years ago I had a CEO of the company I worked at make a similar comment; "affect/effect. No one really knows which one to use." So my contrarian, anti-authority ass just looked it up right then and decided to always know.
According to what I've read just now, she said that amid the vile attacks against Jews in America "people that are afraid of being Jewish at this time are getting a taste of what it feels like to be a Muslim in this country."
This:
a. Minimizes the violence against Jews and Jewish Gathering places right now
b. Makes Jewish suffering secondary to the "real" suffering of Muslims
c. Denies the tragic history of antisemitism in America
d. Pits Jews and Muslims as two parties somehow against each other, when in reality, both groups suffer whenever racism in America goes unchecked
e. Portrays antisemitism as a means to an end - that cold, unfeeling Jews could not possibly understand the suffering of Muslims
Your suggestion that anyone offended by this is paid by some secretive corrupt cabal of globalist to do so…
If doesn't do any of that, and you clearly missed the point she was making. By a lot.
I didn't say you, or anyone is being paid to be offended. Is this your first day learning English? A PR campaign doesn't normally send checks to the people it targets, dumb ass.
Just say you don't know. It's fine. You said something that you thought sounded cool, but you didn't think about what it meant and then you had to save face by resorting to repeated ad hominem jabs. You'll be much happier in life if you just admit it.
My wife works in marketing, idiot. I know exactly how PR campaigns work. It seems you just don't know how to read, or have never had an actual job. Or both.

In this case, it looks more like it's Streisand effecting. (Affecting?)

Please educate me; who's sending the checks? Who's receiving them?
Do you know how marketing works? THEY'RE NOT SENDING PEOPLE CHECKS.
Do you not know how money works? What do you think well-funded means?
Holy shit dude. You're not smart.
