Those who believe that conspiracy theorists are stupid and crazy necessarily believe (either) that: 1) there are no conspiracies 2) conspiracies are a special case that cannot be theorized about. Both claims are clearly false. IOW such people are themselves stupid and crazy.

Richard Burgon just exposed the most glaring double standard in British policy "Imagine if this weekend in London there was a Russian real estate event selling Ukrainian land. The government would ban it immediately. Instead, we have an Israeli real estate event openly advertising the illegal sale of land in occupied Palestinian territories. The government recognizes Palestine. Why isn't this banned?"

1. The Holocaust was evil, as everyone knows 2. The Holocaust was NOT uniquely evil, as some claim 3. Throughout history there have been other comparable genocides, often carried out by Europeans against indigenous people 4. The genocide in Gaza is not the same as the Holocaust, obviously, but it is in the same moral category 5. The Nazis killed babies, children, women and men BECAUSE they were Jews. The Israelis kill babies, children, women and men BECAUSE they are Palestinian 6. Israel and its supporters weaponise and abuse the memory of the Holocaust, sometimes to close down argument and sometimes even to justify the genocide in Gaza

If Russia is banned from the World Cup for attacking Ukraine, why isn’t the United States banned for attacking Iran?

🚨 Glenn Greenwald just broke it down… A sitting US President, who ran on ending wars, is being openly defied by a foreign Prime Minister. Not behind closed doors. In public. Repeatedly. Trump is a Zionist. His family is tied to Israel. He is owned. But he wants this war over. The midterms are coming. His base is fracturing. His promises, and legacy, are rotting in public. Trump has repeatedly begged Netanyahu to stop. Netanyahu didn’t just tell him to STFU. He went straight to Congress, who AIPAC has bribed with $28M this election cycle alone, and passed Section 224, LEGALLY FUSING the US and Israeli military structures. Democracy BYPASSED In broad daylight. This is what @ggreenwald has spent years warning people about. The most powerful man on earth can’t end a war his own voters want ended, because the lobby doesn’t just own the President. It owns the building he works in.

This mass murder by Zionist terrorists was committed on Dec 18, 1947 -- nearly half-a-year before the supposed "invasion of the nascent Israeli state" by five Arab armies. The genocide of Palestinians goes back before the founding of the State.

No, I happen to know the war started in 1953 when the CIA overthrow Iran's legitimate government on behalf of Big Oil, and then installed the Shah, who robbed the country blind for the next 25 years, and imprisoned anyone who dissented. When the Iranian people finally had enough and millions poured into the streets in a mass uprising in 1978, Jimmy Carter stupidly gave the brutal Shah sanctuary in the USA.....That's what provoked the student seizure of the US embassy, which could have been easily resolved had Carter sent the Shah back to Iran to face the justice he deserved, and met the students fair demand for an apology for the CIA coup. The so-called 47 year war on America never would have happened if the hard core cold warriors like Brzezinski had not so badly misled the hapless peanut farmer from Georgia.
Replying to @DA_Stockman
Poor dumb David Stockman thinks a war that started in 1979 is a new war.

Using phrasing like "Iran-backed Houthi rebels" — but not "US-backed Zionist settlers" when describing Israel is the hallmark of a biased, imperialist rag. Forget politics — just from a linguistic viewpoint, what a bloody mouthful. Who wants to read that nonsense?

The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began. The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start. Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have. If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

Reminder that when PM Carney and other Canadian politicians talk about rising “antisemitism” in Canada they are not talking about rising hostility towards Jews. They are talking about rising hostility towards Israel, and rising opposition to its genocide of Palestinians. They are talking about rising anti-Zionism. Anti-Zionism is anti-racism, anti-apartheid, anti-genocide. And that, in fact, is a wonderful thing. We should really be celebrating as a nation if we have come this far to be able to say that anti-racism is rising in this country.

The Smotrich parade scandal really highlighted how many mental contortions liberal Zionists are performing in order to separate Israel and its government. They like to pretend there are fairy fantasyland versions of Israel in other dimensions ruled by magic Jewish elf queens who ride candy unicorns and treat Palestinians as equals, and it is only by some freakish and unforeseeable twist of fate that our dimension's version of Israel wound up being governed by genocidal racists. That's how they maintain their view that it's legitimate to criticize specific actions of this one specific government sometimes, but it's antisemitic to oppose Zionism or say Israel shouldn't exist. They pretend that the genocidal apartheid state we see before us today is some sort of fluke that is only one of the many possible iterations of what Israel could look like, and that any minute now it could agree to a two-state solution and become a virtuous beacon of truth and justice for the entire world. This is of course ridiculous. Everything that Israel is today is the result of everything it has always been. All this war, genocide, apartheid and abuse is what it looks like when you give Zionists everything they want. This is all the inevitable fruit of the decision to plant a brand new ethnostate on top of a pre-existing civilization whose inhabitants do not belong to the privileged group. There is no alternate reality version of Israel. Its government is inseparable from everything it is as a state. Smotrich, Ben Gvir and Netanyahu are the product of everything Israel has been from its very inception, and when they leave power they will be replaced by psychopathic fascists with different names and faces. Genocidal apartheid states should not exist. To oppose genocide and apartheid is to oppose Zionism, because there is no material manifestation of Zionism put into practice which does not include those things. Saying "anti-Zionism is anti-semitism" is just saying you support genocide and apartheid and want those things to continue.

Israel is built upon and perpetrates genocide and apartheid. No state that behaves this way has a ‘right to exist’. Shame on @thomasjuneau for spreading the scurrilous lie that denying Israel’s ‘right to exist’ is antisemitic. The real racists are those who claim that Israel has a ‘right to exist’.
Antisemitism is a major & growing problem in Canada, & a blight on our democratic health. Criticism of Israeli policies is legitimate & necessary. But attacks on Jewish Canadians simply because of their religion or the denial of Israel's right to exist is bigoted and idiotic.

🎥 US Secretary of State basically admitting: Iran had the AUDACITY to build a real defensive shield for its own survival — and that’s exactly why the Empire struck first. Look at the arrogance. Iran dared to defend itself against decades of aggression, sanctions, assassinations, and constant threats from the US and Israel. They weren’t “building an offensive force” — they were creating enough missiles, drones, conventional weapons, and even a capable navy so that no one could bomb them with impunity anymore. They were simply telling the world: “If you attack our nuclear sites, our territory, or our people, we will hit back hard — with swarms of missiles, waves of drones, and naval operations that will make you regret it.” That’s called sovereignty. That’s called deterrence. That’s what any self-respecting nation does when it’s surrounded by hostile empires that have already destroyed Iraq, Libya, and tried the same on Syria and Yemen. But the US can’t tolerate that. They can’t allow any country — especially one that refuses to bow to the dollar and the rules-based disorder — to reach a point of real immunity. So Trump (and the neocons) decided to smash that emerging shield before Iran could complete it. Classic imperialist logic: “How dare you defend yourself? Only WE are allowed to have overwhelming military superiority and threaten whoever we want.” Iran wasn’t the aggressor. Iran was preparing to survive the next illegal war the Empire was clearly planning. And the fact that Washington openly admits this was the reason for the attack tells you everything about who the real threat to peace is. Respect to Iran for daring to stand tall. The rest of the Global Majority is watching.

This is all completely fabricated, whipped up, frothing made-from-nothing. CIJA's mission is to defend Israel. To do that, it is distracting from Israel's massive crimes against humanity by creating this fake crisis about "antisemitism" in Canada. Don't believe it for a moment. Shame on government officials and media who allow themselves to be manipulated by these malicious monsters.

CIJA Responds to Prime Minister’s Address on Antisemitism: The Jewish community is angry, frustrated and deeply concerned for its future in Canada. For nearly three years, Jewish Canadians have watched antisemitism surge across our country while too many institutions, leaders, and authorities failed to respond with the urgency the situation demands. The hate and hostility targeting Canada’s Jewish community is an urgent national crisis. In a public address to the nation, the Prime Minister acknowledged that antisemitism is a threat to all Canadians. He recognized that the crisis of antisemitism in Canada today is specific, severe, and demands a targeted response. He laid out specific measures the government has introduced, sharing his concern that Canada’s civic compact is failing the Jewish community. The Prime Minister’s address marks an important moment in an urgently needed, national conversation. What matters most are the actions that will follow. Urgent focus is now needed to ensure consistent enforcement of the law, as well as serious measures to disrupt radicalization and terrorist activity in Canada. To address the campaign of harassment targeting the Jewish community, authorities must also end the weaponization of public institutions like the Canada Revenue Agency. And in confronting the sources of radicalization, it is essential to recognize antizionist extremism as a driver of hostility toward Canadian Jews since the Hamas-led October 7 terrorist attacks—a point that the Prime Minister did not explicitly make and that Canadians needed to hear. While the Prime Minister correctly stated that a whole of government approach is required to fight antisemitism, the formation and composition of the new Ministerial Advisory Council raise serious concerns. The challenge facing our country has been studied extensively. Immediate action, rather than further deliberation, is what’s needed now. This new body must not delay or obstruct the urgent measures needed to protect Canadians from the extremists threatening our national security, community safety, and the Canadian way of life. We urge our Prime Minister and leaders across Canada to act now, in light of these growing threats. Our community will continue to advocate for measures to protect Canadians, confront extremism, and restore confidence that Canada remains a country where Jewish life can thrive safely and openly.

The “rising scourge of antisemitism in Canada” is a completely fabricated campaign to suppress honest discourse about Israel and Palestine. Canada’s government is being manipulated by Zionist organizations.
Yesterday, I joined Prime Minister Mark Carney, colleagues, and members of the Jewish community at Holy Blossom Temple for a critical call to action against the rising scourge of antisemitism in Canada. At a time when Jewish Canadians are facing unprecedented levels of antisemitism, the Prime Minister stood in solidarity and spoke candidly about the crisis, and why no one should feel unsafe because of who they are, how they pray, or the identity they carry. He outlined the new and important anti-hate legislation and the critical new security measures, but just as importantly, he spoke about how all Canadians must stand together to fight antisemitism. 🇨🇦 Hier, je me suis joint au premier ministre Mark Carney, à des collègues et à des membres de la communauté juive au temple Holy Blossom pour lancer un appel à l’action crucial contre le fléau grandissant de l’antisémitisme au Canada. À l’heure où les Canadiens juifs sont confrontés à des niveaux d’antisémitisme sans précédent, le Premier ministre a fait preuve de solidarité et s’est exprimé sans détours sur cette crise, expliquant pourquoi personne ne devrait se sentir en danger en raison de son identité, de sa façon de prier ou de ce qu’il représente. Il a présenté la nouvelle et importante loi contre la haine ainsi que les nouvelles mesures de sécurité essentielles, mais, tout aussi important, il a souligné que tous les Canadiens doivent s’unir pour lutter contre l’antisémitisme.
