Channelling David Icke on CiF

If there's probably one place where you shouldn't mention crackpot Jewish conspiracy theories (even to fisk them) it's Comment is Free, where the commentators can go from the subject of cabbage farming in outer Patagonia to the malign influence of "Israel" on world affairs in one move.

With this in mind, we're not sure whether the article by Keith Kahn-Harris is trying to bust the myth that DA JOOZ are the unseen puppet masters behind the recent Donorgate scandal or argue that they are central to it. Nevertheless, some of the comments in response to his piece need saving for posterity and to demonstrate that some racisms are considered more acceptable than others, even on a so-called left-wing comment site. To begin:

David Abraham was undoubtedly buying influence whether it was for planning applications or the Isreali cause isn't answered yet but lets not pretend that we can dismiss a plot to buy pro isreali influence out of hand. [thetrashheap]

Ah yes, the next target on the agenda of the International Jewish Conspiracy: Durham. You heard it here first, people.

The seemingly increasing prominence of the Labour Friends of Israel is also a worrying. We elect these people to represent the British people, not to further the aims of a single (controversial) country in the ME. [monstera]

The real worry, if you ask us, is the growing and sinister influence of the All Party Group on Iceland. Who knows how their perverted and evil membership will corrupt British democracy?

So the conspiracy theory goes,Blair bought by... and choose your euphemism. Somebody [Mendelsohn] booted out of the Labour Friends of Israel five years ago remains.....a Friend of Israel. I think we all know what that means. [Truthplease]

Do we? Do we all know what "friend of Israel" is a "euphemism" for?
