Antisemitism isn’t an accident. It’s a tool.

Antisemitism is a strategy. People who want to distract you pitch you a hatred so intense that reality becomes optional.

People can be starving, imprisoned, or suffering. A country can be collapsing under corruption and brutality. And still, the answer offered is imaginary:

Blame the Jews.

Blame the Zionists.

Everything will be fixed.

So now we have a situation with the US bombing and kidnapping the "President" of Venezuela, who stole the presidency and the lives and livelihood of his people.

And then the Vice President of Venezuela (now interim President), Delcy Rodriguez, blames “Zionists” for the kidnapping of Nicolás Maduro. "The Iron Lady of Caracas," she has been a key supporter of the socialist regime for over two decades.

She claimed that it was a "Zionist attack" against the country. She offered no evidence, of course.

She also, btw, still supports the dictator.

And don't worry! If you were worried that mainstream American pundits would reject that bizarre racist accusation, Candace Owens came to the rescue to save the day.

She wrote: "The CIA has staged another hostile takeover of a country at the behest of a globalist psychopaths,"

"That’s what is happening, everywhere. Zionists cheer every regime change. There has never been a single regime change that Zionists have not applauded because it means they get to steal land, oil, and other resources.”

Now, influencers all over social media are making all sorts of wild claims about Jewish influence over the US government and Trump.

What we, Israelis, would get out of Venezuela.

If you're scratching your head, wondering how all these people got to this point without any evidence- let me tell you.

They know precisely what they are doing.

They aren't confused or naïvé.

They are choosing the oldest conspiracy in history and repackaging it for clicks, clout, and applause... and most importantly, distraction.

And then there’s Hamas, a group whose entire strategy is kidnapping civilians, suddenly announcing that kidnapping is unacceptable. You couldn’t script the absurdity if you tried.

Israel has nothing to do with this.

Jews have nothing to do with this.

Which is exactly why we’re dragged in.

Antisemitism isn’t an accident. It’s a tool.

It exists to redirect rage away from power.

To protect dictators.

To excuse regimes.

To let people feel righteous without ever demanding accountability from those actually doing the harm.

Don’t look at the dictator -- look at the Jews.

Don’t look at the regime-- look at the Zionists.

Don’t confront reality-- switch the target.

And when public figures participate in that switch-- when they echo it, legitimize it, and profit from it, they are no longer “asking questions.”

They are the rot they are claiming to fight against.
