No blame-Israel conspiracy theory is too dumb for Hasan Piker & Co.

Proving again that there’s nothing — nothing! — they can’t blame on the Jews, lefties are claiming the bum-rush of 50,000 people across the Morocco/Spanish border was an Israeli plot.Top DSA influencer and 9/11 enthusiast Hasan Piker, between campaign stops for socialist insurgents in Democratic primaries, told his Twitch audience: “Israel and America got the Moroccan government to send like 40,000 people into Spanish administered territory.”Why and how did Israel manage that, Hasan? “I dunno, man,” he explained with his usual insight.
“It’s not my damn fault.”But it’s not just the puerile podcaster pushing this poppycock: Kenneth Roth, the longtime head of Human Rights Watch, thinks he knows Israel’s motive for supposedly tricking 50,000 Moroccans into climbing barbed-wire fences to invade Ceuta.Spain, Roth explains, “controls both sides” of the Strait of Gibraltar and could “potentially block Israeli access to the Atlantic,” just as Iran blocked the Strait of Hormuz — so it makes sense that Jerusalem wants its nominal ally Morocco in charge of Gibraltar-adjacent Ceuta.Yet Spain doesn’t “control both sides” of that strait; Britain owns Gibraltar.And Tehran “closed” the Strait of Hormuz as a Hail Mary response to intense US-Israeli bombing; the idea that Madrid would risk the world’s wrath by closing an international waterway out of pique over Gaza is laughable.Other marble-minded antisemites, including Young Turks host Ana Kasparian and actor Javier Bardem, also pushed the conspiracy theory.Of course, this follows recent claims that the Jewish state was behind everything from Charlie Kirk’s assassination to Egypt’s loss in the World Cup Round of 16 to the implosion of Graham Platner’s candidacy in Maine.All of it 100% evidence-free — because for these fever-dreamers, the conclusion is all the evidence anyone should need, even (or especially?) when obvious facts show it’s nonsense.Blaming the Jews is dim soc...
