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.

    These people don’t know whether to hate or love Jews depending on what their talking heads told them that morning

      They generally hate Jews unless Fox News tells them that Arabs are scarier.

      When it’s not involving Arabs, then Jews are scarier.

      I don’t quite understand the hierarchy of fear that’s so present in these communities though, but I assume there’s sub gradations within the groups like an Israeli Jew isn’t as bad as a wall street Jew and a wall street Jew is scarier than a Mexican but not a taxi driver?

      I’m probably not racist enough to grasp the nuances of their thinking but I’m among the scary people so I try to catalogue where I am in the moment on the hate scale LoL. Rising the ranks quickly is my current experience…

        For many of them the role Israel plays in their eschatological fantasies drives a lot of that complication and nuance.
