My
previous post about "Zionist Conspiracies" may seem a bit silly, but there was a point. The point being that I have seen hundreds, thousands of articles decrying the "thing we can't mention" and then tearing into Jews. We even have nominally respected journalists talking about how the "Israel Lobby" silences criticism of Zionism, or how they have managed to confuse in the public mind opposition to Israel with antisemitism.
The funny thing is, I have seen thousands of sites that start off "we can't mention it but..." and then launch into the same anti-Israel, anti-Jew rant they have made dozens of times before. Or else they start ranting about how anti-Zionism and antisemtism aren't identical, only to end it with some comment about how the Christ killers run world banking. If anyone has conflated antisemitism and anti-Zionism, it is the supposed anti-Zionists themselves. And they seem to be the only ones who are saying you can't mention Jews, as I seem to only see this admonition on antisemitic sites.
Nor is this just on the fringe. Mainstream sites on the left, even here on Townhall, you will find "anti-Zionists" explaining how they can't tell you about Jews, then proceeding to publish hundreds of pages on how the evil Jews are ruining the world.
The only thing I can say is, if there really is a Zionist conspiracy, and we really do secretly run the world, either we are remarkably inefficient, or more open to criticism than most dictators, because we sure let a lot of that "secret" information slip through the cracks.
