That sort of thread ends up just being a case of "he said, she said" though. Someone saying "it's time for some facts" without providing any sources or proof beyond their words doesn't count for much. What makes LFI more trustworthy than Al Jazeera?
The point about hidden power, money and improper influence all being antisemitic tropes makes me uneasy too as although those things obviously are hallmarks of antisemitic conspiracy theories, they're also hallmarks of basically any conspiracy theory and pretty commonplace in politics, so to say that it's antisemitic when those accusations are leveled at the Israeli state seems somewhat disingenuous. It isn't Russophobic to raise concerns about Russian influence. It isn't Sinophobic to raise concerns about Chinese influence. It isn't Islamophobic to raise concerns about Saudi Arabian or Iranian influence.
A rare Droid sighting.
I was going to add to my post something like "and then they'll post Al Jazzera's "The Lobby" doc" as 'evidence' of the Israeli state conspiracy' as it's something I've seen happen dozens of times every time this argument happens online.
There's a thread here if anyone's interested:
Firstly, the infamous "£1m" is totally untrue and utterly ridiculous. The conversation was about a visit for young people openly arranged, advertised and paid for by the Israeli Embassy, not an LFI parliamentarians' delegation
The Israeli Embassy was in the process of organising a visit for young activists, businesspeople and artists. They asked a number of organisations, including LFI, for suggestions of individuals they could invite. The "names" discussed in the programme refer to this
Dan, from that twitter thread:
"That so many in Labour are willing to believe Qatari state TV over the BBC is damning. This is a broadcaster that published a video suggesting Jews had exploited their supposed control of media, financial and academic institutions to exaggerate the extent of the Holocaust."
That's a pretty damning claim - do you have a link for this?
Talking about facts is pointless everyone has alternative facts. I wouldn't bother if I were you.
