Remember that college professor who says the Sandy Hook shootings are a "hoax?"

This anti-Semitic SOB is far worse.

Newtown Shootings an Israeli-US Plot Suggests Conspiracy-Mongering Professor

Wed Jan 09, 2013 at 09:25:40 PM EST

The Newtown, Connecticut school shooting may be part of a sinister Israeli intelligence operation according to retired professor James Fetzer. The Duluth News Tribune reported this week that Fetzer claimed "Israeli Mossad death squads and the U.S. government might have been behind the school shootings." Fetzer wrote in an online blog entry that the "Sandy Hook massacre appears to have been a psy op intended to strike fear in the hearts of Americans by the sheer brutality of the massacre, where the killing of children is a signature of terror ops conducted by agents of Israel."

Antisemitism is regularly woven into contemporary conspiracy theories and replicates centuries-old false claims about secret Jewish plots with the best-known being the hoax forgery the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. These claims cross political boundaries from right to left. A centerpiece of these lurid lies is that Jews specifically target children for ritualistic reasons.

Fetzer posted his blog entry at the Veterans Today website, which claims to be a "Military and Foreign Affairs Journal" but which is loaded with antisemitic rhetoric. In his column, Fetzer quotes Mike Harris of Veterans Today as saying "This is exactly what Israel did in Norway" with the 2011 terrorist attacks by Anders Behring Breivik which killed 77 people--mostly young adults. According to Harris, the target in Norway was "the political party that voted sanctions against Israel [and] was retaliated against by a 'lone gunman' who killed 77 children. This is what Israel always does, they go after the children. Nobody buys the 'one gunman' story anymore, not with the Gabby Giffords' shooting, not with the Aurora "Batman" shooting, certainly not with Breveik, and certainly not in Connecticut."

it's pretty hard to scale the sheer nutjobbiness of any of these totally out there conspiracy shitheads. The only thing that changes is the target of their idiotic screed.

At least this fuckwit acknowledges the death of 26 people and doesn't pretend it was all a really elaborate scam.
