      In this and other reporting, the Canary shows itself to be a complete nonsense rag. But because this stupid “timing” conspiracy feeds into the political narrative supported by users here, they’re going to think it has legs. They don’t oppose conspiracies based on critical thinking. They oppose them based on what politics they support.

      Do you have evidence of that? Seems like they do have some evidence in this article of their claims. Open to seeing some info challenging it.

    “Kirk, who had begun to turn against Israel and refused approaches from Israel lobbyists just before his death”

        By using the same strategy the Germans used to do the Holocaust. “Jews, who burned down the Reichstag building…”

          I hope you are aware that the state of Israel is a different entity than the Jewish people or the Jewish religion?

            I didn’t mention Israel, and the Reichstag building was in Germany. Israel didn’t even exist at the time the Reichstag building burned. Germans didn’t exterminate Jews because Israel burned the Reichstag building.

              Kirk, who had begun to turn against Israel…

              Same strategy used in Holocaust!

              Israel ≠ Jewish people.

              I didn’t mention Israel.

                You don’t see the irony in me criticizing the German fascists Nazis from the 1940s, and right away, people jump in with “!!!??!! Jews are not israel, and Israel are not Jews.” I’m told that comparing what Israel is doing to the Holocaust is very anti-Semitic.

                  Ah I think I just misunderstood. I thought you were saying “we shouldn’t criticize Israel because it’s antisemitic.” Long term effects of using reddit lmao.

                I just used an example, where I think(I may be wrong) it came from. Imagine if the most moral army said something like “Yemen-linked, Hezbollah run health ministry” and then went on to comitt a genocide against a semite population.

      This was already in cuckoo conspiracy theory land before they invoked the Jewish masterminds behind all evil.
