UK Independence Party has Infowars editor Paul Joseph Watson as spokesman. British Jews are worried
- Infowars has pushed untrue articles suggesting the Pittsburgh synagogue massacre was a false-flag operation, and that George Soros was a Nazi collaborator
It’s not that hard to find the Infowars articles that Jewish groups worry about.
A quick search of the site pulls up an article suggesting the US government perpetrated the recent attack on the Pittsburgh synagogue as a false-flag operation. (It’s the “latest move by the Deep State to sow civil unrest and effect [sic] the historic upcoming midterm election,” the site’s authors write.)
There’s one calling Jewish philanthropist George Soros a “Nazi collaborator” – and dozens of others accusing him of funding a migrant caravan in Mexico and attacks on Supreme Court justice Brett M. Kavanaugh. That’s just in the last few weeks.
Jewish leaders in Britain say the site – which regularly uses words such as “globalist,” a term the Israeli newspaper Haaretz calls an anti-Semitic slur and “dog whistle” for white supremacists – is biased against Jews.
Now, some are calling on the UK Independence Party (UKIP) to cut ties with the website.
UKIP is the far-right, Eurosceptic party responsible for pushing Britain’s 2016 Brexit referendum, in which a majority of voters chose to leave the European Union.
