Why I think that the blame Israel trend is great!

In recent years, we’ve watched Israel become the ultimate scapegoat, blamed for some of the most horrific crimes against humanity right after Hamas terrorists filmed themselves wiping out entire Israeli communities and proudly shared the footage across the internet.

The irony is that over the last three years, the accusations have only gotten bigger and bigger. Israel is an apartheid state. Israel represents white supremacy. And, of course, their personal favorite: GENOCIDE.

But apparently, that wasn’t enough.

It didn’t stay inside the usual disinformation box. It evolved into something even more antisemitic: conspiracy theories.

Now, I love conspiracies. Really. That’s a brain-dead habit Joe Rogan somehow installed in my brain. But conspiracies usually stay where they belong: somewhere in the realm of our imagination. They’re not supposed to become actual evidence of guilt or be taken seriously as fact.

But lately, internet weirdos seem to have decided that conspiracy theories are something worth actually acting on.

Erika Kirk can attest to that. She’s the latest victim of a conspiracy that went completely out of control, all “thanks” to the great investigator and supposed “BFF” of the late Charlie Kirk, Candace Owens, who blamed Erika for her husband’s murder and basically put a target on her back for internet trolls to abuse.

Because somehow, Candace just knows things.

Things about Charlie Kirk. Israel. Egyptian planes. And, weirdly enough, Brigitte Macron’s genitals.

With friends like that, who needs enemies, really?

Now, as I said, I don’t have a problem with conspiracies. Even when they’re about Israel and Jews. What disturbs me is when the line between the internet and the real world starts to blur.

And lately, I’ve watched actual public figures cross that line.

Take Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez. He has let down his own people, pushing for mass immigration and the whole “let everybody in” nonsense, while refusing to deploy security forces to deal with thousands of military-age Moroccan men entering Ceuta, leaving the city’s residents to fend for themselves.

And who does he blame for his failures?

ISRAEL, of course!

Because apparently, when your own policies fail, blaming a tiny country thousands of kilometers away is much easier than looking in the mirror.

And then there’s Hollywood.

Hollywood seems to love talking about Jews in two situations: starring in a Holocaust movie and collecting an almost guaranteed Oscar, or speaking out against the Jewish state.

Apparently, actors don’t actually have to understand the movies they star in, let alone connect their message to the real world.

But inside the Hollywood bubble, maybe that makes perfect sense. Hollywood loves a trend. It almost doesn’t matter what the trend is. If it gets you applause, attention, and that sweet validation of the moment, they’ll jump on it.

The latest one? More than 20 Marvel actors calling for the release of Marwan Barghouti, a man serving five life sentences after being convicted for his role in attacks that killed five people.

And then there’s Mark Ruffalo, who managed to drag the obsession into Hollywood business. Somehow, a deal between two major film studios became part of an Israeli agenda.

Because apparently, even Hollywood business deals need a Zionist conspiracy now.

Keep acting, Mark.

And even poor Messi got dragged into it.

After Argentina’s last-minute win against Egypt in the latest FIFA tournament, old pictures of Messi visiting Israel suddenly started making the rounds online.

Because obviously Egypt didn’t lose because that’s how sports work. Or because they were facing one of the greatest players in history.

Nope.

Apparently, it’s because he’s a “Zio.”

Blaming the Jews, and now the Zionists, is an old game. And let’s be honest, it’s not particularly original.

As we’ve seen so many times throughout history, plenty of people have been swept up in it.

Today, I guess we’d just call it a trend.

So, what’s the bright side?

I actually love that blaming Israel has become a trend.

Because you know what happens to trends.

Eventually, they fade.

It’s like playing the same song for the thousandth time. At some point, you never want to hear it again.

And while that same song keeps playing, the problems it was supposed to distract from aren’t going anywhere.

Politicians lecture the world about Israel and wrap themselves in the language of “human rights,” while atrocities across the Middle East receive a fraction of the outrage. Iranians are slaughtered by their own regime. Minorities across the region are persecuted.

Yet somehow, Israel remains the obsession.

But the problems don’t stop at the Middle East.

Back home, there’s the Islamization of the West, the decline of democracy and freedom of speech, and globalist politicians sacrificing their own citizens’ security in the name of failed policies.

And that’s where “Israel this, Israel that” starts getting harder to sell. Because when people start demanding real answers for their politicians’ failures, blaming Israel won’t fix what’s happening in their own countries.

That’s the problem with using Israel as a distraction: distractions have an expiration date.

So please, keep blaming Israel.

You might just be the ones who finally make people stop believing it.
