Jews: The World's Scapegoats

This obscenity comes from the Jerusalem Post. I was outraged, but I was also somehow not surprised that it's come to this:

'Jews try to assassinate Trump!' Antisemitic theories and calls for violence surge
Former President Donald Trump's rally assassination attempt in Butler, PA sparked antisemitic conspiracy theories and calls for violence, according to the ADL.

"The assassination attempt on former US President Donald Trump during a campaign rally in Butler, PA, led to a surge in antisemitic conspiracy theories and calls for violent retaliation, according to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL).

"On July 13, 2024, former President Donald Trump was wounded in an assassination attempt during a campaign rally in Butler, PA. The attack, which resulted in one death and three injuries, including Trump himself, ignited a flurry of antisemitic conspiracy theories and calls for violent retaliation online, according to the ADL blog.

"Thomas Matthew Crooks, a 20-year-old from Bethel Park, PA, was identified as the shooter. Federal law enforcement treated the incident as an assassination attempt, though Crooks' motives remained unclear, the ADL reported.

"In the wake of the shooting, antisemitic conspiracy theories quickly surfaced. According to the ADL, Jon Minadeo, founder of the Goyim Defense League, hosted a session on X, formerly Twitter, titled “Jews try to assassinate Trump!” Similarly, conspiracy theorist Stew Peters baselessly suggested that Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency, was involved in the attack.

"Prominent figures in white supremacist circles also propagated these theories. Nick Fuentes, a well-known white supremacist, claimed that Israeli intelligence attacked to replace Trump with a candidate more favorable to Israeli interests, the ADL noted.

Social media users claim attack was fake

"Theories also blamed "the left" and the so-called "Deep State" for the assassination attempt. Conspiracy theorists like Rick Wiles and Jack Posobiec suggested that President Biden and the Democrats orchestrated the attack.

"Alex Jones, a far-right talk show host warned of further attempts by the Deep State to kill Trump, claiming the country was in the midst of a "Deep State hot coup," according to the ADL.

"Additionally, some social media users alleged that the shooting was a false flag operation or staged event, intended to boost Trump’s presidential campaign. These claims fueled further calls for violence and civil war, with users on platforms like X and Telegram advocating for retaliatory actions against perceived political enemies, as reported by the ADL.

"ADL’s Center on Extremism found that Crooks made a donation to a Democratic PAC in 2021 but registered as a Republican later that year. Authorities also discovered explosive devices in Crooks' car and home, adding another layer of complexity to the ongoing investigation, the ADL reported."

---------------------

Even for these evil, insane antisemites, this is beyond the pale, but perfect for their constant lies about Jews being aggressors while everyone else are victims.  The (anti)social media crackpots who called the assassination attempt was fake were obviously not watching the rally at the time.  If Trump had not moved his dead, he would have been killed -- which is what these sickos would prefer.

So when they call for toning down of the rhetoric, I think they have forgotten to include rabid antisemites and insane death-wishers. If anything, their rhetoric will be even louder and crazier now.
