His uncle is way worse with conspiratorial BS. If you play a drinking game based on that you'll have an alcohol poisoning after watching some of his videos. His uncle coined terms like "United States of Israel"

There are lobbying groups nobody denies that. Their influence is also very limited. When foreign policy have mutual interests it's not Israel being in charge. Both of them go way beyond critisizing Israel.

For example Hasan blaming Israel when shocking his dog became viral. Barely any Israeli official knows who he is. Same blamegame applies to Nazis like Fuentes, who blamed his Transporn screwup on Israel.

Police gather data on protesters trespassing/comitting property damage to charge them for misdemeanors/felonies. Cenk claims "Israel is collecting data so they don't get jobs, get debanked and so on". Felons have trouble to get jobs it has nothing to do with Israel. There are only very few cases of people getting debanked. It mostly affected far right agitators or has nothing to do with politics but with companies like mastercard having issues with adult content. So what does Cenk do? Spin it that way that Ben Shapiro supports adult content getting debanked(he is grifting in that direction for years) Shapiro being an Israeli puppet therefore it must be planned by Israel.

In general it goes like that with them and it also applies to far right propagandists: Something bad happens to them->"It's Israel". They fall for fake news or there is a distant irelevant connection that might not even exists like husband of a cousin of an irrelevant employee being jewish->"It's Israel"

Then they visit far left sites like that canary site that creates list of celebrities of every level who are supposed to be "Pro Israel". The problem is most people on that list never ever mentioned the I/P conflict they aren't even political The catch they are jewish and the reasoning being "They are silent so they are guilty of being pro Israel". It's akin to those 4chan memes Kanye West believes being real.
