(Jewish Group) ADL Warns of Antisemitic Conspiracy Theories After Soleimani Killing

(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)

The assassination of Iranian Quds Force head Qassem Soleimani in a US air strike last week has led to a proliferation of antisemitic conspiracy theories by American white supremacists, far-left antisemites and the Iranian media, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) warned on Thursday.

ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt said in a statement, “For now, these conspiracies are limited to the extremist fringe, where antisemites typically look to any major world event as justification for their bigoted views.”

“Our concern is this steady drumbeat of anti-Israel and antisemitic rhetoric may contribute to an environment in which more overtly antisemitic beliefs take root and move from the fringes into the mainstream,” he added.

The ADL listed some of the conspiracists, such as white supremacist Hunter Wallace, who said the Soleimani killing was the beginning of “World War Jew” in which Jewish donors to the Republican party were engineering “a Jewish war with Iran.”

On the left, when President Donald Trump tweeted an American flag following Soleimani’s death, anti-Israel conspiracy theorist Max Blumenthal replied, “You misspelled the Israeli flag.”

On the far-left website CounterPunch, Jefferson Morley wrote. “Trump has now fulfilled the wishes of Mossad,” the Israeli intelligence agency.

The intensely anti-Zionist Philip Weiss, who runs the website Mondoweiss, said Trump was using the strike to gain campaign contributions from wealthy Jews: “Look who is pleased by the attack, Israel. No doubt Sheldon Adelson, Trump’s biggest donor at well over $100 million to Republican causes, is also pleased by the strike.”


We have complained about linking to these websites for YEARS.
