Michael Brown served up more performative denunciations of anti-Semitism in his June 26 WorldNetDaily column, inspired by a Algerian soccer analyst claiming that Lionel Messi’s goals against his team show he is “protected by the Jewish lobby”:
So, not only do the Jews control Hollywood, the banks and the media. They also control the world’s most popular sport, football (called soccer here in the USA). But of course!
That’s why, just as Jews were accused of creating the AIDS epidemic, they have been accused of creating COVID (for financial gain, of course).
That’s why, just as the Rothschilds, the Jewish banking family, were accused of instigating the Civil War, they have been accused of controlling the weather. (I kid you not.)
And that’s why, at one and the same time, Jews have been accused of being the white intruders who displaced the indigenous people of color in Palestine and being the other-than-white intruders who are displacing the white population of America.
[…]Anyone who has studied the history of antisemitism is familiar with the infamous blood libels, which have taken on many different forms over the centuries. In the last few years, these blood libels have morphed into claims that the Jewish people, especially in Israel, harvest organs from non-Jews (especially Palestinians), selling these organs on the black market.
Yes, the Jews are always bloodthirsty monsters, in centuries past killing Christian children and using their blood to make matzoh or, in our day, intentionally targetingchildren in Gaza for slaughter.
This, we are told, is what Jews do.
Yet we remember when Brown tried to give a pass to fellow right-wing activist Candace Owens after she got caught saying “Christ is king” at a time when the term was being used by far-right anti-Semitic activists, finally denouncing her only when her anti-Semitism became too overwhelming to ignore.
Brown did not explain why he immediately went after the soccer analyst’s anti-Semitic remark while waiting years to denounce Owens.
