Conspiracy theories have been attached to Jews throughout history. 2000 years ago, as the blood was being washed from Pilate’s hands, the Jews were blamed for successfully conspiring to kill the Christian god.
Jews went on to be carriers of plague, they used the blood of children to make unleavened bread and were known to poison the local wells.
In more recent times, with the advent of the global bank and powerful media, Jews have been accused of taking control of these too. Today the Jews are said to control superpowers, with US foreign policy long being seen as a useful tool in the Jews arsenal.
As knowledge of the holocaust temporarily sent the radical right into the shadows, the antisemites on the left switched the word Jew for Zionist and carried on as if nothing had happened. The good Jews the victims, the bad Jews the majority of those that survived. This the twisted antisemitism of the left.
Those that think this is not a simple case of switching words should consider the idea of Zionist control of the banks, or of the media. How exactly does that work? As a Zionist, when is it my turn to steer the ship?
The idea that ‘Zionists’ are a ‘thing’ that control anything is so ludicrous a conspiracy it only makes sense if you put the word ‘Jew’ back into the sentence. Then you can say, “ah, yes of course, it is classic antisemitism”.
Once you have enlightened yourself to the tactic, make the change across the board. Turn every conspiratorial use of ‘Zionist’ back to the word ‘Jew’. Then you see the true horror of where we stand today.
Conspiracy
Take Gerald Kaufman. An MP in Westminster, Last year Kaufman told a story of Jews conspiring to plant knives on innocent Palestinians to create an excuse for why they had killed them. He went on to explain how Jewish money then buys the silence of Western politicians. Mixing and matching the Zionist and Jewish conspiracies as he went. This man is still an MP in the Labour party.
Kaufman is protected and then lauded by those who seek to indulge their own antisemitic perversions.
Why do I say this? Modern conspiracies not exclusively connected to Jews abound. 9/11 is one that immediately comes to mind. The moon landing another. JFK, Rabin, The Illuminati and the New World Order, Elvis Presley, Roswell, Shakespeare, Paul McCartney, crisis actors, Chariot of the Gods. Even the Titanic. The list is endless.
On the fringes of consciousness in all societies these thoughts exist. The mysterious control by the few over the many. The thought of the cover-up and the perverse attraction of hidden monsters. For some, this dark insanity brings comfort and becomes obsession. In our society the obsessed are like circus clowns. They are paraded like freaks and their stories amuse us.
What differs however is people’s reactions to those spouting the conspiracy, when the monster in the tale is the Jew. Whereas other speak in empty rooms, these people have an attentive audience.
Take Max Blumenthal. Last year I heard Blumenthal suggest that Israel conspires to create wars with Hamas so it can use the conflict as a showroom. He also seemed to suggest the Zionists conspire to perpetuate the ‘occupation’ because it is good for their economy.
Once more the conspiratorial ‘Zionist’. The demon Jew seeking new ways to profit. Spilling blood for money.
One of the more popular contemporary conspiracy theorists is Illan Pappe. In a ‘hat tip’ to the ‘Elders of Zion’, Pappe uses conspiracy theory to explain the conflict. Ignoring the truth of a civil war that was two-sided, brutal and bloody, Pappe’s powerful Jewish ‘committee’ conspired from the outset to ethnically cleanse the entire Arab population. The entire conflict a deliberate strategy of Jewish design. A flawed activist who became treated as an academic pariah in Israel because of his deficiencies, showered with affection in the UK for that very same weakness.
Ronnie Barkan also suggests ‘Zionists’ conspire to maintain control for financial gain. He then underlines Blumenthal’s conspiracy with a story of how Israel perfecting weapons was part of “what it (2014 Gaza) was all about”. Barkan packages his conspiracies inside a polished tale of peace and equality.
Norman Finkelstein believes there is a conspiracy to exploit the memory of the Nazi Holocaust for political and financial gain. It’s Jews and money again. Perhaps tellingly, Finkelstein’s book ‘The Holocaust Industry’ did better in Europe than in the United States. This clue about who is fawning over such material should not be cast aside.
Like many of his co-conspiratorialists Finkelstein turns on the local Jewish community, suggesting their defence against the accusation of conspiracy is the problem. The reliance of one conspiracy theory to defend another. A wedding cake of conspiracy theories. This the same Finkelstein that has no problem reminding people of a civil war incident at Deir Yassin, but takes issue with those that remind others of industrial genocide.
Oren Ben Dor, who like Illan Pappe found himself welcome and wanted at a UK university, seems deeply lost in twisted conspiratorial ideas of what being Jewish is, and then there is Gilad Atzmon who does not adhere to one Jewish conspiracy, but rather seems to promote many of them. Like Kaufman, Atzmon and Ben Dor mix and match ‘Zionist’ and ‘Jew’ with ease.
Passport burning Mira Bar-Hillel has said that the Jews of today ‘scare her’ and she is ‘prejudice against them’. She apparently speaks of Jewish control of America. And yet still she finds gainful employment writing for national newspapers. Can anyone think of another race of people one could so publicly slur without a negative response?
Jewish clowns
Hatred of Zionism and belief in conspiracies aside, what all of the people have in common is that they are Jewish. These are the Jewish circus clowns, whose tricks become deadly weapons in the hands of antisemites and then used on the very crowd they are meant to amuse. The unexpected twist of a Hammer horror movie.
In fact, most have another common thread, their families were directly impacted by the holocaust. They all use this as part of their personal camouflage and conspiracy creation. Perhaps there is a generational kissing cousin of Stockholm Syndrome at work. Victims adopting the agenda of their victimizers. Let’s not forget the the very seed of the boycott Israel movement (BDS) came from a handful of diaspora Jews.
Yes, these are those who sit on the fringes of Jewish society, and if they were not Jewish, that is exactly where they would remain. Conspiracy theorists always shout loudly that they are speaking the truth. Yet the one who claims to have been aboard a UFO isn’t placed at the top of a department at the University of Exeter. The one who claims that Elvis is alive doesn’t get to make laws in Westminster. The man who thinks there are people (crisis actors) paid by the government to pretend they have been caught up in a terror attack doesn’t get to travel the universities of the west on the back of the publication of his book.
If Michael Lerner didn’t push Jewish conspiracy theories, if he came from mainstream Jewish thought, would he ever have been given an invite to speak at Ali’s funeral? What then the motive of giving this man a microphone and a global stage?
If you seek evidence of antisemitism today. You don’t need to look under the rocks of a Labour Party membership list. Just pay attention to what happens to those Jewish clowns who spread conspiracies about Jews. One is made the head of a department at Exeter. Another, is one of the longest serving British Politicians. There is a third, a fourth, a fiftieth. Believing in Jewish conspiracy whilst being a Jew yourself is a sure way to be pulled out from the shadows and adored. These people, *because* of their specific hatred, get their work published in mainstream newspapers.
These people may be clowns, but those that promote them, defend them, hide behind them, quote them and applaud them are antisemites. They give a fake veneer of respectability to vile, dark and demonic tales of Jewish conspiracy. Protocols of Zion for the modern world. Never forget, when it comes to stories about Jewish money, power, blood lust and control, people have been indulging in these stories for centuries. It is what antisemites have always done.

This is a remarkable coincidence where I too have come to the same conclusions as the author. I contacted Norman Finklestein and suggested that his ‘anti-Semitism’ may be linked to having parents that survived Auschwitz.. He did not understand the relevance of the question. Similarly, Prof. Shlomo Sand, who was born in Mauthausen, has written a book as to why he is no longer a Jew and yet publicly admits that when he is not in Israel, he is homesick. There appears to be a pattern in the anti-Semitic Jew’s psyche where there is a link to the Holocaust, which de-rails them from their Jewish past. A question maybe for the psychologist?
Yes Mike, I think it is (a question for the psycHologist). It is more than odd that these people are almost all Ashkenazi and almost all had immediate family involved in the holocaust. If I was qualified to do so, I would jump at it, a fascinating proposition.
As an American Jew, I think of them as Uncle Tom-kites and House Jews. Similarly assimilated as most American Jews, and a leftist, to boot, I am 100% Zionist. To me, Israel is the most moral and humane country in the world ! And I love my people !
Study of Holocaust survivors finds trauma passed on to children’s genes
New finding is clear example in humans of the theory of epigenetic inheritance: the idea that environmental factors can affect the genes of your children
(evidently can’t post the link)
Sounds like a variant on ‘maase [ma sheasu la] avot siman labanim’. Oh dear, I’ve gone all biblical…
Chazak ve’emats, Dave
Yes exactly, I have often remarked: what would the gentile anti-Semites do without their self-hating Jews? The former need the latter to give the former cover. Gentile anti-Semites can’t be anti-Semitic if they are saying the same things as these Jews, the latter being Jewish. That’s the twisted thinking.
Also Jewish Jew-haters have to go overboard in their anti-Semitism , even more extreme than the run -of-the-mill gentile anti-Semite, simply because the Jew is – even if anti-Israel – always suspect. The Jew cannot be trusted, even if anti-Israel, for he is still a nefarious traitorous Jew at the end of the day. Hence why these Jews have to constantly prove themselves loyal to the Israel hating Left. That is why these self-hating Jews can never let up, and constantly sink ever deeper and further into deranged Jew-hatred. That is why their anti-Semitic bigotry is simply relentless. Also bigotry by its nature is self-reinforcing and gets worse over time. Hatred feeding lies feeding ever more hatred.
re Lena’s comments, having studied this quite seriously, I do not see how epigenetic inheritance can explain the self-hatred of Jews who are the children and grandchildren of Holocaust victims. That’s because genetics as a whole cannot in and of itself account for human consciousness, mindsets, and related. It is an error of scientific reductionism and scientific materialism; human consciousness is way more complex and mysterious, despite the human mind being routinely explained away by the Richard Dawkins type scientist. This is just a new variant of sociobiology and the related genomania/genetic fundamentalism. I concur with the likes of Harvard geneticist Richard Lewontin and the late Stephen Jay Gould here, it s so much wincing pseudo-science.
Neuroses and psychoses cannot and have not been explained by appealing to genetics and not epigenetics neither. The answer lies elsewhere, trauma for sure, but that trauma is experential, it is not in the genes, it is foremost in the biographical and historical background of the subjects. This is just obvious. And given the lack of thoughtfulness of these people, as people generally lack critical thinking skills, such trauma then warps them and their way of thinking, their attitudes and conduct. Saying it is genetic/epigenetic also denies them personal responsibility, as if it’s not their fault they are self-hating Jews. Also not all family descended from victims of the Holocaust are self-hating Jews, why no epigenetic inheritance there in such cases? There are other factors relating to the self-hating Jews in direct line of Shoah victims but I cannot write a book here.
There is no argument to your reasoning.
However, having read, studied, and contemplated these matters in depth for the last 15 years and in passing for the last 40 years, I can only conclude that the chief mover in all of this is the Hand of G-d.
As it has been for all of Jewish history.
My conclusion, of course, is that when Jews at least attempt to do what G-d Commands, that the world will change.
It appears to me that, in spite of the truth of everything you just wrote, the world is changing precisely because more and more Jews are doing what Hashem asks of us.
EREV RAV= the snake
Another convenient point about conspiracy theories is that they are only limited by the imagination. ISIS can behead a person on video and broadcast it around the world, but what really gives you the hebejebes is what you *can’t* see; the ghost in the attic. Now along come these Jewish clowns and “confirm” your worst fears about The Jews. All it takes is for a Miko Peled (you forgot him) to say “it’s true!” and all documented history is overturned.
As for the Holocaust, I don’t think it generated self-hating Jews. Many of Germany’s Jews were already on board with significant anti-Jewishness, as many Jews are today; then things went too far. Also, these clowns have existed for millennia. Apparently the grand inquisitor in Spain was a Jewish convert. Jewish converts also started the blood libel and the Talmud slanders.
Maybe part of the problem is Jewish culture. Today’s Jewish college kids spew anti-Israel lies and are supposed to be treated respectfully and delicately, as if their position is valid. It may also be that someone raised in a nurturing Jewish family can’t get their mind around the possibility that the entire world doesn’t adore them as much as mummy and daddy (ouch!).
This is an excellent article confirming that the anti-Semite Jew is nothing new. It also confirms that the likes of Norman Finklestein and Shlomo Sand have issues regarding their Jewish identity because their respective parents were Holocaust survivors. We, as a people, have the same tribal instincts, disloyalties and 5th Column attitudes as any other race. Only to us, it is even more abhorrent.
You forgot to mention the “conspiracy” of how Jews invented, financed, and led the Communist revolutions that led to world war and the death of over 100 million Goyim.
Hlllel is a conspiracy organization. Do not trust anybody involved with HIllel. It is a Jewish Mafia.
