Since you probably haven't read The Protocols, it would explain your ignorance when you repeat those age-old conspiracy theory narratives in your unhinged rants. However ignorance of bigotry is not an excuse. Most people filled with classic hate narratives are unaware that they're seeking out and cherrypicking the facts to support their predetermined narrative.
In your case, it's Jewish Americans working in funding streams to control the American government to fight wars for Israel. In your fever-dreams, PNAC and AIPAC pull the puppet strings of autotomoton democratic and republican congressmen and Presidents, who unquestioningly do their bidding.
We really invaded Iraq because it would "help Israel." We know this because Joe Lieberman is a devout Jew, and he supported the invasion.
Lieberman, like other cherrypicked war supporters who are Jewish will now be linked to the "dual loyalty" narrative, in which Jews are never fully members of the country they live in, and their allegiances are suspect.
Take the following:
In the hands of the States of to-day there is a great force that creates the movement of thought in the people, and that is the Press. The part played by the Press is to keep pointing our requirements supposed to be indispensable, to give voice to the complaints of the people, to express and to create discontent. It is in the Press that the triumph of freedom of speech finds its incarnation. But the GOYIM States have not known how to make use of this force; and it has fallen into our hands. Through the Press we have gained the power to influence while remaining ourselves in the shade; thanks to the Press we have got the GOLD in our hands, notwithstanding that we have had to gather it out of the oceans of blood and tears. But it has paid us, though we have sacrificed many of our people. Each victim on our side is worth in the sight of God a thousand GOYIM.
An excerpt from the 1880s Russian propaganda forgery, "The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion," although I'm sure you agree with it.
If you want to believe you only think Jewish Americans secretly control the American media to start wars that Jews and Israelis benefit from, go right ahead. But don't expect me not to mock you for being an ignorant moron with a weak mind, falling prey to the age old seduction of hate filled narratives that existed long before Israel was a glimmer in Herzl's eye.
Calling Glenn "Gwen," your childish attempt to feminize him out of your neo-con rage, is exactly why your party has collapsed into incoherency, racism, hate and irrelevance.
Your party has spent the past three years calling John Edwards a "fag," Barack Obama a "magic Negro" and Hillary Clinton a "lesbian" or a "Feminazi."
Then your 600+ right wing radio stations all scream that some mythical army of Politically Correct Police are preventing you from speaking the "truth" because they want you to be "sensitive" (sensitivity to others is, of course, for pansies).
This is why your party has been a disaster, both for the country and for its own electoral prospects.
This right wing hate radio tactic of feminizing men and masculinizing women you don't agree with is just plain pathetic. It might've worked in 2002, but enough already.
I know Glenn considers everything I say, because he's too smart not to. On some level, I know he'll rethink mindlessly spitting out accusations that the national media is "fixed" not to criticize Israel.
The Daily Show counts. Glenn himself counts. Even the excoriable Drudge is running a headline about the school bombing that is tragic and reprehensible, and will bring well justified heat on Israel to explain what the hell it is doing.
Israel can and should be held to account, and it will, Glenn's conspiracy theories of "silence" notwithstanding.
As to the Israel-hating and anti-Jewish nonsense that appears in these threads, I will always speak out against historical ignorance and coded bigotry, because it's all of our duties to speak out when we see that sort of ugliness. I spoke out when conservatives were smearing Islam as a "religion of hatred" and I'll speak out when "liberals" (although I don't know what some of you are, as that label's not even close) talk about hidden cabals of Jewish financing and manipulation.
Derbig Mooser is worse than a bore, she's unfunny. Her lame Yiddishkeit betrays deep-seated rage, so there's little point in engaging a raving loon. If she wants to transfer all her anger at Israel on me, that's fine with me. But I haven't made 90% of the points she's arguing with, I've repeatedly stated support for the two state solution, support for the right of Palestine to exist, and support for international intervention to stop the current violence.
Israel's actions today in terms of the school bombing are outrageous. It is unclear how anything they're doing is coherent or justified at this point, and the international community must get involved.
I know, this makes me a crazy Zionist, what with my acknowledgments of Israel's right to exist, right to respond to mortar fire, and the fact that anti-Semitism still exists in this world. I'm crazzzy!
But since some on this board are calling Glenn out for having the temerity to acknowledge Israel's right to exist, it's clear that loons are not in short supply.
For the Israel haters, nothing Israel will ever do will be good enough. That's generally why Israelis tune those who just want to "help" them completely out. It'll never be enough.
