A Muslim Turk, an Armenian psycho, and a pretend Catholic cultist are sitting at a bar. The Turk says he cut himself shaving, then read the blade packaging and saw Hebrew among the other languages, so Israel clearly did this to him. The Armenian says she was standing at a Starbucks and the girl at the till asked “medium or large?”. “Can you believe that?”, she said. “How dare she call me large. She must have been one of those Jews.” The pretend Catholic cultist says she went to a natural history museum to look at all those fake dinosaurs that never existed, and said they had a model of a fake ancient hominid named Lucy with “Hebrew” underneath (Latin). “It’s so obvious the Jews are behind all of it. Next they’ll tell us the Earth isn’t flat and we actually landed on the moon. Those Jews control everything. It’s all Netanyahu” Something ordinary happens and the explanation always has to be Jews or Israel, because if it isn’t Jews then they’d have to look at their own history, their own movement, and the name on the studio wall. A Turkish host built a show called The Young Turks, sat an Armenian across from him, and spent years talking about invented genocides while the actual Young Turks murdered more than a million Armenians and then spent a century denying it. The punchline writes itself and they still cannot hear it. The reflex doesn’t change with the decade. A nick from a razor, a coffee size, a museum plaque, a war they don’t understand. Always the same culprit. Always the same refusal to read what their own side already admitted in blood.
