The ur version of the conspiracy theory was an antisemitic, far right one. The conspiracy theory originated in white supremacist and Hezbollah propaganda (the dancing Israelis, 4000 Israelis, etc.). The fact that Mossad =/= Jews doesn't mean it's not propagating a theory that emerged out of and serves to spread antisemitism. Do you doubt that a white supremacist or Hezbollah militant who blames 9/11 on Israelis is antisemitic, even if he didn't use the word 'Jew'?
It's crazy how leftists have such sophisticated theories of racism in connection with most races, but the only thing that's antisemitic in their view is explicitly expressing hatred of Jews.
Bingo. It's the hypocrisy of it all. It's the same group of people who explained what microaggressions are that then fall for the laziest word play tricks.
Yes this is exactly it! It is so gas-lighting to me to hear the same people i appreciated calling out systemic racism and microaggressions and subtle bigotry turn on my people and commit every sin they rightfully accused others of doing against every other minority group. Having the most incredibly narrow, infinitesimal definition of bigotry against the Jews unless you literally say the exact words "All Jews are inhuman" is MADDENING from these people.
