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.
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 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.
That's like someone saying that they have no problem with black people, just those "uppity niggers".
I can't believe I'm defending Jones on this, but I just did some digging and I found this quote from him:
quote:To sit there and then say that all the ills in the world are then caused by Jews is wrong. Jews are a very diverse wide group of people who have a lot of different political ideas, I am Jewish. Now I’m not, but with talk like thatyou want to kill the Jews you’re going to have to kill me
It's from this clip:
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.
Hitler believed all Jews needed to die, not only because of their imagined conspiracies, but also to purify his imagined Aryan race and a whole lot of other reasons. Jones has literally said that he doesn't think all Jews should be killed, he just hates all "leftists", some of which happen to be Jews. And these should be dealt with (I don't think he has said anywhere he thinks "leftists" should be killed).
{ABE}: To put it more bluntly, Hitler said this:
quote:Wenn es dem internationalen Finanzjudentum in und auerhalb Europas gelingen sollte, die Vlker noch einmal in einen Weltkrieg zu strzen, dann wird das Ergebnis nicht die Bolschewisierung der Erde und damit der Sieg des Judentums sein, sondern die Vernichtung der jdischen Rasse in Europa
Translation: When the international Financial Jews within and without Europe would succeed in plunging the peoples into another world war, then the outcome shall not be the Bolsjewickization of the earth and with it the victory of the Jews, but the annihilation of the Jewish race from Europe
Jones said:
quote:To sit there and then say that all the ills in the world are then caused by Jews is wrong. Jews are a very diverse wide group of people who have a lot of different political ideas, I am Jewish. Now I’m not, but with talk like thatyou want to kill the Jews you’re going to have to kill me
So yeah, I know which one I would call an anti-semite.
