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

    hell of an opening sentence there i can see what The Canary Dot Co is implying but uh seems a little irresponsible

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

            You might even be right, I just figured they blamed the Jews for it. My point was that the strategy came from Joseph Goebbels. And I’m not even sure it was from him specifically, or just one of the people that worked under him.

          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.
