    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.

      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.
