1. Ask & Ye Shall Receive
The thesis that 9/11 was an inside job - the most common thesis among 9/11 skeptics - is no more "anti-Semitic" than the thesis that Russia's 99 apartment bombings were an inside job, or that Reichstag fire was an inside job, or that the Bologna train station bombing was committed by Italian fascists backed by the CIA, who succeeded in having the blame falsely placed on communists. Or that the Lavon Affair involved an attempt by Israeli agents to have attacks on American targets in Egypt blamed on Arabs. These are valid and well-supported hypotheses about specific historic events, not just logical but also very much in keeping with past historical precedents.

In this case, the cited writer says he was handed a dvd at Ground Zero on 9/11/06. He does not name or specify what was on it, invalidating anything further he may have to say. Apparently all he has to do is claim that it's anti-Jewish, and that is suppose to instantly make whatever it is radioactive, too dangerous to even name, something that should be banished by way of Internet filter before our weak and mortal eyes are burned by exposure to its title.

In all likelihood, the dvd in question it was a copy of Loose Change 2, since copies of LC2 outnumbered copies of everything else handed out at GZ this year by a ratio of 10:1. LC2 is a very lousy film in terms of evidentiary presentation, but not one that in any way focuses on Jews as perpetrators of 9/11. But what's a detail here or there?

Then he digs up the usual suspect, Christopher Bollyn, and attacks him (although Bollyn was nowhere near Ground Zero on 9/11/06, and is otherwise not a representative of the 9/11 truth movement).

You're obviously out looking for evidence of Jew hatred among 9/11 skeptics, and if you don't find it up front, you'll have no trouble manufacturing it.
