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!
“Texas border convoy removes mask”
And it would have gotten away with it if it weren’t for you kids and your dog.
I’m shocked

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
Oh this is good.
Maybe we’ll see some of that censorship put to good use, now.
Idk about you guys but I hate Nazis more than I hate illegal immigrants.
Hopefully their power grid can keep up this winter.
I hate Nazis
“Especially Illinois Nazis”

Don’t need to hate anyone tho.
except nazis. we need to hate them.
Well there’s a shock.
Who’s funding *this *rally??
The only part that surprises me about this is that the convoy isn’t called “Take Back Are Country.”
How does a group “descend” to a position they never left. That’s like saying these conservative shitstains “descended” into racism and xenophobia. They are conservatives FFS!
I think it’s funny how the starting point was they’re christian nationalist secessionist traitors but OP’s red line is anti-semitism.
It’s pretty common to see in the Jewish culture. They generally really don’t give a shit about anything outside their bubble but when something happens to them they demand they world drops everything to help them or otherwise you’re a piece of shit.
I see where you’re coming from, but in the case of right wing conspiracy theories, “the Joos are secretly controlling the world!” is a common topic of conversation.
Yeah, not saying that isn’t true. These conspiracy kooks are wild. I just grew up in a Jewish community, so being force fed propaganda from the time I was a child got kind of exhausting. Especially when I got older and started to see through it so I think I have more of an averse reaction to it than most people would.
I disagree with the word “descends.” Aren’t their previous racist and otherwise positions equally low? This is a lateral move not a descent.
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?
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?
What planet do these people live on?
Flat Earth
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.

I’m getting worried.
I planned a vacation to TX for my birthday in early April, because it happens to coincide with the eclipse, and Dallas will be one of the best places to view it from.
So, since I had a lot of points to splurge on, I extended the vacation a bit and we’re going to fly into Houston, hang there for a bit, then spend my birthday weekend in Austin, then Dallas for the eclipse, and back down to Houston to fly home.
Lots of stuff I want to do in each city, and I know the cities are generally lean a bit more liberal, but I’m getting more concerned each day about actually spending my birthday and a monumental celestial event inside an actual civil war.
I live on the border, and you really don’t need to worry unless you’re pregnant.
Unless some kind of armed violence and wide scale conflict actually breaks out, you’ll be perfectly fine. Especially in the cities, most of those people are just as aghast as you.
You’ll be fine. The average Texan isn’t even aware of this stupid shit and the cities you listed are way more left-leaning than a small town in whatever state you’re from.
This is a few hundred idiots in a state with a population of 30 million people. I saw more people at Costco yesterday.
Some articles have misrepresented it as 1,000 people, but that was a concert in Dripping Springs, a small town outside of Austin (not the border) with Ted Nugent and Sarah Palin. 1,000 people turning out for a musician with Top 40 hits is actually a very poor turnout for being near a city with 1,000,000 people.
This is all just media hype. Edit to add: And politician hype. I’m not sure which one I’m angrier at. They both suck for trying to “make fetch happen.”
I was told that 21 year old college students advocating that less children get blown up were the antisemitic ones?
You’re telling me they’re not defending Jews they just like the cruelty‽
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.
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.
