    though he did so with the use of further antisemitic tropes by suggesting that the U.S. and NATO campaign against ISIS had been “manufactured by Israel.”

    Oh, so it’s antisemitic to say anything negative about Israel now. Got it.

    How exactly is this antisemitic?

      Being against the fascist government of Israel is now antisemitic. It’s the mask the fascists are wearing. They’re abusing everyone’s intolerance of antisemitism to push their imperialist agenda.

      Was on my way to post exactly this. This semantic overloading of the term antisemitic will lead to jews in other countries dying, mark my words.

        No it won’t,
        Despite the filthy zionists desperately trying to conflate their fascist ideology with judaism nobody falls for that.
        Nobody will hold jews responsible for this cult’s actions.
        The only ones that do that are probably right-wingers that were already antisemites to begin with.

        What is happening now however are attempts on synagogues and jewish places in EU.
        You could see that coming from the articles in the press priming the public with ‘leaked’ reports on ‘Iranian sleeper cells’ activated.
        That’s when I knew Mossad would get at it again, trying to get the public opinion, vastly against the war, to go along with sending troops to help the US/Ir childkillers.

      Accusing Jews (and Israel as a proxy thereof) of sinister machinations behind-the-scenes is a hallmark of antisemitism; particularly when those claims are demonstrably false.

      Don’t get me wrong; Bibi and his buddies have a lot to answer for, but blaming Israel for the US invasion of Iraq and the conflict with ISIS, who came to power as a result of the US invasion of Iraq, is some of the most blatant bullshit that can come out of the mouth of someone who is supposed to be an expert on counterterrorism.

        That’s like saying that anybody who criticized Nazi Germany was “against the Arian Race”.

        In fact, that’s exactly what the Nazis used to say.

        Funny how so many of the things Zionists say and do are a lot like the things Nazis said and did…

        Israeli people are free to start a revolution any day they feel the government has overreached its welcome with the genocide in Palestine and killing civilians in Iran.

          There’s no doubt that the actions of the US and Israel fertilized the soil from which ISIS sprang forth. But that is a far cry from the accusation that Israel purposefully manufactured the ISIS situation in order to draw the US into a conflict in which they were already engaged.

    What has ISIS to do with Iran?
    They are sworn enemies with these US backed terrorists.
    Oh, the Independent? Say no more

    If this were me, I also wouldn’t want to be in his position, where Trump has started a war of choice against a country that’s willing to use terror as a weapon, where Trump has deliberately handicapped counterterrorism and intelligence departments, and where the person in charge has repeatedly demonstrated that he’s never willing to accept responsibility for either his decisions or their consequences.

    Israel lobby forced US into this war

    We all have the sunglasses to see the lizard people are in control. As a high ranking insider, he has the best, or at least much better, sunglasses of all. A constitution that protects the lizard people’s power structure over Americans is dysfunctional.
