The video shows Michael Yon making false claims regarding so-called “terrorists coming across the border being funded by Jewish money.” Yon was speaking at a “Take Back Our Border” convoy in Texas.
In the video posted on X, formerly Twitter, the man can be heard claiming that HIAS, a global Jewish nonprofit that works to protect refugees, is responsible for funding terrorists coming to America.
Descends into?
Are you sure they weren’t there all along?
Indeed. We need a new version of Godwin’s law. Something like
The odds of xenophobia, homophobia, transphobia, or antisemitism appearing in a conversation is directly proportional to the number of conservatives participating in that conversation.
Hence forth this will be known as “Billiams law”
So say we all
So say we all!
With an accent!
So say we, y’all!
So say we all!
“Texas border convoy removes mask”
“descends into,” “reveals undertone of,” tomatoes, tomahtoes
Idk about you guys but I hate Nazis more than I hate illegal immigrants.
Hopefully their power grid can keep up this winter.

Yeah, especially considering how the border goes through communities and we’ve relied on the labor of these immigrants since we stole that land from Mexico. Also complaining about people coming from Mexico to land that we stole from Mexico feels ironic.
there is no stealing in world politics and war. just winning and losing.
Yeah nah it’s theft. It doesn’t matter how it’s framed. In the middle ages and before, where what side of the border you lived on was pretty much irrelevant to your life, it’d make sense to think of it the way you are. But in the modern day, where taking land often means completely altering and destroying the lives of the people that live on it, forcibly removing it from them is theft. The implications that come from it being theft is a completely different conversation.
Not attacking you or anything. But people can’t be illegal. They’re undocumented. And we should actively seek to reframe it as such. They are just immigrants. Regardless of whether they came here illegally or not. The term illegal immigrants has been popularized and pushed by fascist/conservatives as a way to frighten people and “other” immigrants.
I’m sorry that their country was destroyed by US policies and they were forced to abandon their homes, I’m sorry that they’re coming here to be superexploited by brutal farming operations and meatpackers and slaughterhouses, and I’m sorry they’re going to have to find out how bad this country is in-person.
I could never hate them.
But this doesn’t make me proud either.
I hate Nazis

Old movie reference
It’s a quote from a movie called “the blues brothers” with John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd

Jesus fuck I’ll never understand these people. So now the Jews are sending Mexicans? Do they hear themselves when they speak? How incredibly fucking stupid that sounds?
Republicans, bruh. They’re dumber than dogshit.
Less so dumb, more so easily swayed by validation of their internalized racism and homophobia. We gotta remember there are smart assholes out there.
I mean, being easily swayed by someone stroking your ego is a kind of stupidity.
Assholes are not smart.
It’s not that confusing. You figure out who you hate, and then find any possible reason for them to be the cause of all your life’s problems, no matter how thin or tenuous.
Luckily, there are always people to tell you both of the above.
My uncle-in-law is convinced that the CCP is sending spies and sleeper agents in droves across the border. There’s just no way to reason with this level of delusion.
They get their spies in legitimately or turn people. The fuck would you use a border? You want someone with a legal job.
Spying on American fruit harvesting techniques
CPC
This is not a new theory. This was the motivation for the 2018 Tree of Life shooting, which is the deadliest anti-semitic attack in American history.
Well yah, because the space laser didn’t work!
Except they still believe that one… They even know what color it is.
It’s blue, apparently, and you can protect your home from it by painting your roof blue… Doesn’t matter what shade of blue, just so long as it is blue.
True to form… Someone began advertising their blue paint as protection from the laser.
Maybe it’s the Mexicans who are sending their jews?
Now that’s a shama llama ding dong level plot twist
I kinda wonder if it had been said the Russians are sending the Mexicans if people around here might have bought into it despite the ridiculousness.
It’s because of their stereotypes. They see Jews as shifty underhanded masterminds. There’s no other minority group that they see that way so everything they don’t like they blame the Jews for.
Right? It’s still the Jews? Really? WTF? East Indian Americans are rapidly outpacing “the Jews” in terms of elite professionalism, but it’s still all somehow about the Jews?
What planet do these people live on?
Anti-immigration hysteria? Check. Anti-semitic conspiracies? Check. Now all they is some anti-black dog whistles to hit the trifecta. The odds are looking pretty good.
It’s like a horrible game of Bigot Bingo
There must have been at least one confederate flag at this shindig.
I will be fucking shocked if there is only one, hell I’d be shocked if it was under 10
Well there’s a shock.
Who’s funding *this *rally??
putin. As usual.
The asshole who tells you that you just need to work harder to get that $2 raise, after purchasing himself a new super truck with the money he definitely earned by working hard.
Stupidity
Ugh. That’s funding is going to last forever.
The money that should’ve gone to teachers
The only part that surprises me about this is that the convoy isn’t called “Take Back Are Country.”
Yet this is the same party attacking the left for being antisemitic, and the media never contextualizes their attacks with things like this or their Jewish space laser actual antisemitism.
The so-called antisemitism: pls stop genociding Palestinians :(

Socialists have an antisemitism problem because of the whole Wealthy Capitalist Jew stereotype. They hate wealthy people, they hate capitalists, so on an emotional level they have predisposition towards hating Jews. Not enough to kill Jews, but just enough to look the other way when someone else is killing Jews.
The right wing has an antisemitism problem because of religious bigotry.
This common hatred allows for strange coalitions to form between fascists and socialists. ie. National Socialism.
Of course socialists tend to be so certain of their ideological superiority they feel like they can win over the fascists in time. But then there’s a night of the long knives and guess who are the ones holding the knives?
Socialist spend so much time debating the minutia of ideology they become ignorant of emotional manipulation and how power dynamics work. This makes them susceptible to being duped into joining fascist causes and when they’re no longer useful to the fascists, they’re promptly disposed of.
Socialists have an antisemitism problem because of the whole Wealthy Capitalist Jew stereotype.
I’ve never met a socialist who believes that stereotype though
The nature of emotions is that you can have a feeling that is contrary to how you think. That feeling may not influence how you think about Jews directly, but it can influence how you think about issues related to Jews. Just ignore a few details here, fixate on some other details there, and suddenly you think a group whose goal is to kill Jews might be right about a lot of things. You might think it’s wrong to destroy that group because they’re right about some things. You might attend their rallies and not think too much about the people at that rally cosplaying as people that murder Jews.
See fascism isn’t really an ideology. It’s just emotional manipulation that exploits people’s predispositions. The goal of fascism is to get power through any means necessary. Socialists tend to think they’re immune to these manipulations, but that makes them all the more susceptible to certain kinds of manipulation. And a fascist will accept a socialist into their movement, so long as the socialist is useful in their goal of gaining (or maintaining) power.
So in your first paragraph are you saying that the Jews have all the money?
I disagree with the word “descends.” Aren’t their previous racist and otherwise positions equally low? This is a lateral move not a descent.
When does free speech descend into incitement?
When black people do it.
See: BLM protests
Uh oh, quiet part aloud.
In a separate video of the same event posted by Ryan Matta, he also claims that Hamas and Hezbollah “are coming across” the U.S. border. “Venezuela is filled with Hezbollah,” he said. “Our borders are wide open, it’s our government that’s doing it.” Yon reposted the video with the caption “Allahu Akbar!”
So is it Jews or Hamas/Hezbollah?
They can’t even keep their shit straight that they are telling people. 🤦🏻♂️
They probably don’t know the difference. They’re from the same place after all LoL. These people aren’t smart.
These people don’t know whether to hate or love Jews depending on what their talking heads told them that morning
They generally hate Jews unless Fox News tells them that Arabs are scarier.
When it’s not involving Arabs, then Jews are scarier.
I don’t quite understand the hierarchy of fear that’s so present in these communities though, but I assume there’s sub gradations within the groups like an Israeli Jew isn’t as bad as a wall street Jew and a wall street Jew is scarier than a Mexican but not a taxi driver?
I’m probably not racist enough to grasp the nuances of their thinking but I’m among the scary people so I try to catalogue where I am in the moment on the hate scale LoL. Rising the ranks quickly is my current experience…
For many of them the role Israel plays in their eschatological fantasies drives a lot of that complication and nuance.
these morons just need someone to hate, 24/7
Calling Weird Al: There’s a Queen parody to be had here.
Weird Al doesn’t do mean spirited parody. Let me clarify, he doesn’t use his music to tear someone else down.
However, there are plenty of other artists who would be happy to make such a song.
Been hearing about terrorism in the US for years. Why are they all homegrown?
