Reply #54: I guess if you believe 9/11 was an inside job, you're an ardent Zionist

[HamdenRice]

This is a response to some of the posts here that try to use the guilt by association meme: because some of the first people to say (1) that 9/11 was an inside job (2) were anti-Semites, then (3) anyone who says 9/11 is an inside job must trace their beliefs to anti-Semitic organizations and sources.

But Jared Israel was one of the very first internet sources to say he believed 9/11 was an inside job. And Jared Israel is an ardent Zionist, whose web site is devoted mostly to exposing holocaust denial and anti-Semitism.

After 9/11, there were people who had suspicions about the official story who were Zionists, Israeli nationalists, Palestinian nationalists and "Islamofascists"; there were people who were African nationalists and who were Afrikaner Weerbestandbewegging white nationalists; there were socialists, communists and free market capitalists; there were African American civil rights multiculturalists and Ku Klux Klan aryan supremacists. That's because suspicion of the 9/11 official story does not fit into any particular ideological or racial category other than maybe bullshit detectors -- except of course, that people who adore George W. Bush and believe that he and the members of his administration are too nice and patriotic to have done anything so dastardly, would be the only ideological faction that could not under any circumstances accept suspicion of the official story. (That does not mean, of course, that everyone who staunchly supports the official story adores George W. Bush. Just sayin'.)

Pointing to the fact that there were anti-Semites who had suspicions about the official story does not mean that everyone who had suspicions about the official story are anti-Semites.
