OK, I am not trying to step on toes here, or flirt with proscribed subject matter. It's just that I've asked this question several times here and have never received a straight answer.
Frequently when a 9/11 CT diary or comment is posted, people come in out of the blue and accuse the person posting said stuff of anti-semitism.
I just don't get this. Really. How is the theory that the AMERICAN government was either complicit in the attack or responsible for it ANTI-SEMITIC?
Please explain???
Just to let people know where I am coming from concerning anti-semitism, I will give a bit of my background. I am a practitioner of Asatru, the pre-Christian religion of Germany and Scandinavia. For most of the duration of my practice, I have had to go round and round with white supremacists who attempt to use my religion as an excuse to justify their racism. They incorporate Hitler's idiotic "master race" theory into their practice and actually approve of his use of the swastika, runes and all the other bits and pieces of Germanic pre-Christian lore which were appropriated and misused by Nazi propagandists.
These "Nazitru" as we call them harass people who choose to practice the faith who are, in their eyes, "insufficiently Scandinavian/Germanic". As a woman of Irish and Italian descent, I, like the Jewish gydhia (priestess) who officiated at my wedding, have been a target of theirs since the beginning. Homosexuals and anyone of color who chooses to practice the faith are also targeted.
A non-racist group I was involved with, the now-defunct Forn Sed USA, had an elder in Georgia who received a death threat from these white supremacists when he was scheduled to speak about Asatru at a university in Atlanta. As a result of this, the man established positive ties with both the Southern Poverty Law Center and the FBI, and we were all told to go through him if we received any such death threats or other problems.
He is therefore the one I contacted when the story hit the news about two criminals in Farmingville, Long Island, who lured two Hispanic day laborers to a remote location and tried to kill them with a knife and shovel. I recognized the posted picture of one of them as belonging to a Germanic-based LARPING group who had... interesting... stuff on their web pages. I forwarded a link to the web page to my elder with a request that he forward it on to his FBI contact.
The criminal was caught the next day and ended up doing time for attempted murder.
I provide all this background information for those who might decide that it would be fun to accuse me of anti-semitism simply because I am asking the question.
I don't think there's anything funny about anti-semitism, and I honestly fail to see why it's even in the equation concerning the subject of 9/11 CT. Please spell it out for me. If all you have are jokes, stupidity or cruelty then kindly keep it to yourselves - just a simple explanation would be fine.
