The thinning line

I was just reading Brendan O’Neill’s fascinating blogpost about the differences and similarities between anti-Zionists and antisemites, in which he argues: ‘I think the line between anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism is getting thinner all the time.’

Then I was reading the blog of Ken O’Keefe, the self-styled tough guy of the anti-Zionist movement.

O’Keefe writes:

‘We need to acknowledge 100% that the American government is bought and paid for by the Zionist, Jewish supremacists, Israeli “dual citizens”, which in truth is a pyramid with the Rothschild’s [sic] and their bankster kin at the top.’

He also quotes a man called Rich Siegel, who he describes as ‘an honest, intelligent and compassionate Jew’, a ‘respected brother with a hugely important message that should be heeded by every single Jew on this planet’.

Siegel’s message: ‘Please, Jews, my people, you are desperately sick.’

Oh dear.
