35. and those folks say this war with Iran is all because of Israel, that speaks

volumes.

As you said trump is the president, and trump is responsible for this.

It was trump who choose to unilaterally walk away from the Iran nuclear deal. It was trump who ordered the bombings of Iran twice in the middle of negotiations with Iran, even after saying after the first bombing the destroyed Iran’s nuclear capability. And not once have I heard a reporter ask trump after he says our main objective is to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon, ask him, “I thought you said we destroyed their nuclear capability”?

The same thing was said after 9/11, blaming Israel for 9/11, though at that time that was a minority and it didn’t gain any traction. However, Cynthia McKinney at the time exploited it without the buffer of Israel, but directly spreading antisemitic tropes and conspiracy theories directly targeting Jews.

After October 7th a similar pattern followed, blaming Israel for what happened on October 7th, and the student protests around the country not only highlighted that, but extrapolated that to Jews in general.

Blaming Israel for all the woes in the Middle East and beyond for quite a few people is a portal for them to blame the Jews in a not so subtle way.
