Alex Jones declares Israel's actions "mass genocide"

Alex Jones has caused controversy online with his remarks about Israel, accusing the country of committing “mass genocide” in its war with Hamas.

In a post to X, formerly Twitter on Thursday, the InfoWars creator claimed: "Israel has lost the high ground. This is not war. It is robotic mass genocide.

LibertyLizard ,

Is this a ploy to up his brand with nazis or something? I can’t think of any other reason he would do this. He’s obviously not someone who cares about morality or truth.

Probably seeing the winds shift and jumping ship.

It’s just funny that Alex Jones is now more left than AOC and Bernie Sanders.

Time to re-evaluate what you mean by left

Left is when they agree on the issue du jour, and the more recent the issue, the more left they are.

Gotcha. Left is when “current thing” good and old things bad. Future things are the leftiest one must presume.

Ones leftism is measured by their current position, not their past one.

The second sentence in this comment is an absolute falsehood.

More left

Ah, you have no idea what you’re talking about regarding the political left/right

spujb ,

i don’t think you know what those words mean in that second part but you are right in that it’s wild to see a guy like this say the truth before sanders or aoc

LibertyLizard ,

I mean on this one issue maybe. Not on anything else.

You could probably find an issue where Hitler was left if you look hard enough. That doesn’t make him a leftist overall.

He was vegetarian I think lol

In Hungary, there is a straight-up nazi party that is used to test the waters for the government’s more “radical” ideas, as well as catch the splintering radicals, so the government can keep dictating where the “centre” is.

This might be the right trying to test the Genocide Joe message with a broader audience.

LibertyLizard ,

Yeah that could be as well. I saw an article recently about how some neo-nazis were attaching themselves to the Palestinian liberation movement to try to seduce angry people into adopting their ideology. Important to be wary of these tactics. Though I’m not sure who would be naive enough to accept Alex Jones as an ally uncritically.

Buffalox ,

Does that mean he is for it or against it?

Those words must have taken a shit ton of force to get past his lying lips.

He was also right about gay frogs. Sometimes the person you hate can make a good point.

What differentiates a mass genocide from a genocide?

Density? 🤷🏻‍♂️

OutlierBlue ,

No, density is mass genocide / mass volume

FanciestPants ,

The desire of the person saying it to get clicks.

Let’s file this one under: ‘Oh no, anyway’

Okay what is his play here? I just don’t see how this aligns with his audience.

Also what is with the uses of the word robotic? Seems weird
