Discussing Israel/Gaza on right-wing talk radio

I had an unexpectedly substantive discussion of the Middle East and the "Islamic threat" on "The Hugh Hewitt Show" last night.

    @ heru-ur

    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.
