I don't entirely agree with this statement. He specifically names the "leftist jews", and also adds "nothing against jews in general". So I think he's more upset with them being "leftist" than them being jews.
I don't see how that addresses what was said. One of the more popular voices on the political right is accusing jews of faking the riots.

Then why is he alleging that they are Jews ?

Since he describes their looks I'm thinking because that's what he thinks all jews look like?

And that hints at anti-Semitism before we even get to the whole conspiracy business.

Generalizing looks is anti semitic?

Alleging a Jewish conspiracy on the basis that he thinks they look Jewish - and have you seen any of the people in question ? - seems like a pretty strong hint to me.

I have only seen the quote from Jones, and from that quote I think he is blaming "leftists" who he thinks happen to be Jews, rather than Jews who he thinks happen to be "leftists". I don't know if he has said stuff in the past that was blatantly anti-semitic, but I can't recall anythnig. This quote alone I don't think suffices to call him an all out anti-semite.
That was all I was trying to say. Jones is nutty enough as is.

Then why is he alleging that they are Jews ? It is particularly ironic if people are faking being KKK when they're actually Jewish. It's contrast for a joke: "a lot of the KKK guys with their hats off look like they’re from the cast of Seinfeld". I mean, it's a lame joke, but calling this antisemitism is grasping at straws.

It seems pretty clear to me that he is specifically targeting Jews. And his reasons for doing so seem pretty weak.

It's not a joke, he's literally saying the riots are fake and being put on by Jewish people.

I see him saying that Leftists are fake-dressing up like the KKK and some of them are even Jewish.

And it seems pretty clear to me that he isn't, so we'll just have to agree to disagree.

He seems to be saying that they are ALL Jewish.

I can't believe I'm defending Jones on this, but I just did some digging and I found this quote from him:

Granted, it's from 2011, so maybe he changed his views, but I think you guys are reading way too much into this. Jones thinks there's a leftist conspiracy, some of these leftists are jews. That is all he is saying. Granted he is saying it in a way that could be interpreted the way you are doing. So as to cash in on all those anti-semites that need some "potency water" or what have you from Jones's store. But I don't think he himself is an anti-semite. Edited by Huntard, : Fixed video link
