MELVILLE, New York –In recent days commentator/conspiracy theorist Alex Jones of Infowars and The Alex Jones Show, has been banned from a variety of social media sites including Facebook and YouTube (though not Twitter) because of his racially-motivated incitement of hatred and violence, which violates their terms. Jones, whose ex-wife is Jewish, has defended Jews in the past, replying to one anti-Semitic caller that “To sit there and then say that all the ills in the world are then caused by Jews is wrong. Jews are a very diverse wide group of people who have a lot of different political ideas. I am Jewish. Now I’m not, but with talk like that–you want to kill the Jews you’re going to have to kill me.” On the other hand, Jones, who is known for saying innumerable crazy things, has said what crazy things about Jews?
A. “Every key person in the Bush administration and now in this next administration just so happen to be the sons and daughters of the founders of Israel and Mossad chiefs and people.”
B. “I mean, quite frankly, I’ve been to these [white supremacist] events, a lot of the KKK guys with their hats off look like they’re from the cast of Seinfeld. Literally they’re just Jewish actors.”
C. “It’s not that Jews are bad, it’s just they are the head of the Jewish mafia in the United States. They run Uber, they run the health care, they’re going to scam you, they’re going to hurt you.”
D. “They [KKK members at an Austin protest rally who Jones says were really Jews] all look like Howard Stern. They almost got like little curly hair down, and they’re just up there heiling Hitler. You can tell they are totally uncomfortable, they are totally scared, and it’s all just meant to create the clash.”
E. “The Jewish mafia mainly feeds on Jews so, like the ringworm–the Sephardic Jews, they killed over 100,000 of them in a radiation test.”

I happen to be a fan of Alex Jones – mostly because he goes where he thinks he should go – and often he provides more context that the News Models/Talking Heads who often add very little value or un-biased facts on many issues.
That said I had no idea his ex was Jewish – but if I understand you right – somehow your quotes and fact he is divorced is proof he is an anti-Semite?
That doesn’t make alot of sense. Or at least it makes as much sense as those on the left calling Trump a “Nazi” when his daughter married a Jew.
So let me throw a boomerang back. Why are Jews such strong supporters of clearly dangerous democrats like Chuck Schumer and Wasserman-Schultz? Not to mention all the funding and presence of sicko political figures that have been laid-up with salacious sexual charges?
And Hollywierd – whats up there? Supposedly a popular joke among Jews about Jews controlling the industry but sicko (supposed) comics like Sarah Silverman, Chelsea Handler and Michelle Wolf – not to forget the profane assaults on President Trump from many late-nite hosts – Kimmel, Fallon, Maher.
Now one might say – you are attacking them because they are so successful – but it seems more like “in-group preference” (to borrow from Dr Jordan Peterson). Even “the Catholic Church” may be a retort but that seems a much smaller group even though it doesn’t seem over yet (and I am a Catholic).
There is a backlash brewing against hateful democrats – and it does seem that many are Jews.
