Icke has further claimed that a small group of Jews, particularly the Rothschild family, financed Adolf Hitler and supported the Holocaust. These claims have led to his speaking tours attracting the interest of British neo-Nazis, particularly Combat 18, as well as facing opposition from Jewish groups and anti-racism activists.
I do not know if the claims about the Rothchilds are true or not - but Icke certainly wasn't extending criticism of the Rothchilds to the rest of the jewish race or indeed implying that it was their jewishness which was responsible for the act.
Now then... if you editor, came by some information that a famous black man was somehow in league with black oppressors and published this information, and then this information was seized upon by fascist groups and used for their own ends, ends which you did not agree with, does this make you the fascist and racist or them? Is an idea responsible for the uses to which it is put?
David Icke comes out with some unthinkable ideas. This is precisely why they are difficult to discuss - because everyones natural reaction is to swat them away. And no, I do not believe them all, not many at all in fact.
But the reason why people cringe at the Rothchild story is because the betrayal involved is
unthinkable. But it has happened before and will happen again, it is an archetypal pattern from Judas to Uncle Tom.
Likewise the very thought that the American government could have been compicit in attacks on its own people is unthinkable, disgusting. The messenger gets shot for suggesting such a thing might even be
possible. But again, history shows us that it has happened before. This is not to say that it
did happen re 9/11, but that considering the possibility is not the work of a deranged mind.
