Save us from the crackpots who see Zionist conspiracies in everything
The Observer (U.K.) ^ | 08/13/06 | Nick Cohen

Posted on 08/12/2006 7:10:50 PM PDT by Pokey78

Within minutes of the airports being closed, angry emails arrived at our 'Comment Is Free' blog. 'Is it such a coincidence that this happens just when Zionists, UK and US are aiding and abetting mass murder in Lebanon?' asked one. 'Funny how these terrorist "threats" seem to knock other more important stories off the news agenda,' railed another.

There was much more in the same vein. All shared the assumption that the Islamist 'threat' (always in scare quotes) is a phantom menace used by the government to distract the credulous masses from Lebanon, Iraq or wherever abroad and panic them into abandoning their civil liberties at home. In this scenario, Islamists are little more than puppets jerking about to the commands of Western governments and the international Jewish conspiracy, which time their arrests to bury bad news.

Good column, and I hadn't thought about this: that to all the anti-zionist/anti-american nuts 'defending' the ME Jihadists, "...Islamists are little more than puppets jerking about to the commands of Western governments and the international Jewish conspiracy, which time their arrests to bury bad news." Not only are the Michael Moores of this world criminally stupid, they're profoundly racist against the putative recipients of all their noblesse-oblige concern, the Muslims, to boot!

Who was dr...oh, yeah. Well I guess Nick Cohen does get it -he didn't even mention the drunk celeb, he addressed the more dangerous "respectable" conspiracy nuts who spout off their boldfaced antisemitism stone-cold sober, didn't he? Now if Abe Foxman could get a clue here...

Pro-Palestinian leads to anti-Zionist, which in turn inevitably morphs into anti-Semite. The pattern has repeated itself across the world. It's the revived, newly and oddly respectable form of ancient Jew-hatred, taught in state supported universities throughout the United States. And, we're paying for the indoctrination of our own children into this fashionable bigotry, with our tax dollars.

Nick Cohen should move out of the UK and to the USA. Let western Europe either correct itself or repeat its wrongs.

I'm dealing with a guy like this on my hometown forum website, it's both incredible and nauseating at the same time.

This does not concern Gibson, Hophead, this is about those people who spout anti-Semitic crap while sober.

The Cubs are a zionist plot. No coincidence that we have a city called Zion so close by.

On the internet they can throw the rock and hide their hand.

I was under the impression that Latin was a plot to confuse the (pre) Zionists.
