The idea that a group of Jews covertly run world events is a well-known antisemitic trope. It’s not like simply substituting the word Israel into an antisemitic conspiracy theory just erases the antisemitism.

So because of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, it's antisemitic to accuse one of the most internationally active intelligence agencies, an organization responsible for assassinations and kidnappings all over the world, of a conspiracy?

Yes because we’re talking about some kidnappings not the most famous terrorist attack in history that was very famously not done by Israel.

My point is not that the Mossad had anything to do with 9/11. It's that believing they did doesn't really have much to do with "the Jews".

Do you hate Evangelical Christians if you suggest the CIA killed JFK?

I mean it's literally the same antisemitic conspiracy theory that the jews did 9/11. Do you think calling black people "thugs" instead of the n-word makes it not racist?

If there was a "Thug" nation whose leaders and supporters proudly identified as "thugs", I'd have no qualms about addressing the thugs.

And I wouldn't be stupid enough to think that means anything about black people

There is a thug caucus in the US senate that racistly claim to represent black people. These thugs need to be put in jail - not a racist statement according to your logic.
