When I started reading this and saw that two Jews were behind this, based on my research for PROOF OF CONSPIRACY I immediately thought to myself, "It'll be Birnbaum and Finkelstein."

And it was.

I'll tell you now that these two guys were part of pre-election collusion. Bigtime.
2/ I know I don't have to tell 99% of you this, but for the other 1% I'll tell you, as a Jew, that not only is the word "Jew" not offensive, but it's a relevant noun here because there are very few Jews who'd make it their life's work to destroy the life of a Holocaust survivor.
3/ Anyone doing a deep dive on the Trump-Israeli connection will shortly come across a small cadre of Jews so committed to Trump being president that they were willing to create a danger of assassination for a Holocaust survivor. Birnbaum/Finkelstein are in that very small group.
4/ Upshot: be careful about accusing me of speaking incautiously about Israel or Jews, not primarily because I am also a Jew but because I have done enough research to know the *very* small, discrete number of Israelis and non-Israeli Jews who are villains in the collusion story.
5/ And as Buzzfeed News *correctly* notes, Birnbaum and Finkelstein's religious background is *relevant* to their mens rea because they explicitly weighed being anti-Semitic themselves (re: Soros) against Trump's purported long-term value to their narrow understanding of Judaism.
6/ Saying there was an Israeli and non-Israeli pre-election collusion criminal conspiracy involving a small and discrete number of Israeli and non-Israeli Jews who were motivated by their twisted sense of themselves as Jews is a sad (legal) fact having nothing to do with Judaism.
7/ If you're wondering why I'd bother to do a thread on this uncomfortable subject: America is going to have to learn *very soon* how to have a conversation about collusive crimes committed by government-linked Israelis that do not involve immediate accusations of anti-Semitism.
