The Jazzz record - straight exchange from elsewhere:
saying that anti-semitism is created by "elite jews" to control everyone is pretty much the definition of anti-semitism tho.
No, someone who is anti-semitic doesn't like Jews (or semites, to be exact).
It's a bloody good example of a modern day anti-semitic belief. The sort of belief held by an anti-semite.
No it's not. The anti-semite will dislike ALL Jewry, on the basis of them being Jews and needing no other reason. He will not see the great majority of Jewish people as 'victims'. He will dislike people, and not simply policy.
Again, I say that people who profess to love all mankind should be far more careful with their finger-pointing.
It's not anti-semitism if you only blame some Jews for conspiring to control the world?
Absolutely not! How can you be said to be against the masses when you specifically blame the elite?
Because you connect the mass of jewry with the so-called elite due to the latter having reached their position of dominance, such that they have manipulated the entire humanity for millenia due to their special jewish powers, powers that derive from their being jewish and having malevolent intent due to being jewish. That's how the two are connected. By attrition of special characteristics and motivations due to being jewish - if it was for any other reason that this elite gained their power then why mention their jewishness? Their jewishness is mentioned because it how they got their power, through being jews. This connects them with general jewry.
No further Jazzz response at all, just further variations of 'Hey you, be careful about suggesting racist behaviour from non-racists is racist, that's really bad for anti-racism'
Jazz on Kollestrom:
What I what I know about Nick K is that he is no anti-semite. He is a conspiracy theorist. I am placed in the awkward position of having to comment on someone that I know (although I knew nothing of his interest in WWII). Now if I didn't know him, and quite liked the fellow there'd be nothing making me defend him against this accusation, and for all I would know it could be true. However, I'd be a pretty crap bloke if I didn't speak up for people I know when they need it. And having spent some time with Nick K I've never seen the slightest hint of anti-semitism from him and that charge just doesn't fit with the person I know. What I 'don't have a problem with' is someone genuinely stating what they believe, however wrong that may be. What I very much DO have a problem with is people wanting laws to suppress challenging viewpoints, again, however wrong. I need hardly point out that that is the way that fascist regimes gain hold of a compliant populace.
Repeated promotion of "use all the conspiracies" smart antisemite David Icke:
David Icke on the Russell Brand show
David Icke on 'Swine Flu'
David Icke lecture @ Wembley Arena, October 2012
The hard-right conspiracist group Jazzz
currently promotes has these people as part of its talk and now annual conference (based in Conway Hall or Friends Meeting House).
Nearly every named speaker is involved in some sorts of anti-semitism or Holocaust denial or promotion of other antisemites and Holocaust deniers
Cynthia McKinney
David Southwell
Lars Schall
Tony Gosling
Niels Harrit
Annie Machon
The partial exceptions are Dan Glazebrook, his main purpose is to attack and smear respected anti-conspiracists/sane people like
Noam Chomsky who also happens to be Jewish and anti-Zionist (understanding Zionism as post-48 state behaviour) and against conspiracy theorising.
and John Bailey former union activist at Wapping who has basically abandoned union organisation and peddles an extreme Murdoch-based quasi conspiracist approach to the British press, happy to assert that
all newspapers are the same and unreliable - a useful figure to explain why the press don't take conspiracism seriously.
and Michael Ratner,
strong supporter of Assange, US New Left pedigree, founder of Jewish Voice for Peace (a sort of US version of Jews for Justice for Palestine) who is an acceptable Jew
specifically because he believes it is US Jewry's deficiencies that allow subjugation of Palestinians to continue, that US Jews have a particular, heavier duty
above that of other Americans or other people in general to declare themselves outright opponents of Israel: "I recall a conversation I had some years ago with the political artist Leon Golub, famous for his outsized oil paintings of torture carried out by American mercenaries in Central America. Leon told me that he had been invited to attend a panel to address what it meant to be a Jewish political artist. He said he had never thought of himself as a “Jewish political artist” but only as a “political artist.” Then he thought some more. Of the works of art he had made, none concerned Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians. And then he knew, at least for himself and probably many others: to be a “Jewish political artist” was to be an artist who avoided depicting the horrors inflicted on Palestinians. Of course, that is true for more than just artists. Many Jews who are very involved in human rights, ending poverty and war, and fighting for the underdog avoid criticism of Israel. They wrongly think that human rights are divisible; or that like ostriches they can hide their heads and pretend not to see what is clearly staring them in the face and makes them uncomfortable: the inhuman treatment of Palestinians. Some of our willful blindness and refusal to act is a result of our ambivalence about condemning the actions of a people that have experienced pervasive antisemitism and the holocaust. Some of our hesitation to act results from the condemnation and opprobrium anyone, but especially Jews, encounter with even mild criticisms of Israel. Organizations that take a position against Israeli actions subject themselves to a loss of funding from foundations and individuals. Few can afford to do so. As long as this silence continues, so will the U.S. billions in aid and arms that facilitates the killings of Palestinians. As long as this silence continues, more and more settlements will be built. As long as this silence continues, there will be more and more Gazas and more and more children murdered."
So that's 66% antisemites with 33% facilitators to provide and draw in people from different fields - those interested in African affairs (Glazebrook), the press (Bailey) and Wikileaks (Ratner). People like Niels Harrit do not bring in anyone interested in architecture (or chemistry for that matter) it's just a bow in the arrow for a quasi-scientific attack. There are those in the conspiracist movement who believe Harrit is an
absurd liability with the nanochemistry line (
WTF?) and it's far better to go for the Machon 'it was a terrorist assault but Mossad were the trainers, funders and organisers' line.
