Well, they're calling it hate speech. He doesn't talk about any particular ethnic group (not even Jews, despite what his detractors might say).
He's against IIRC having trans children take puberty blockers, which might be an issue, but TBH an argument can be made for the well-being of the child.
No, I think this is an issue of twitter-mob pressure against Itunes after Spotify announced they would keep Infowars content. And there are, AFAIK very few people who care one way or the other. It's more a slim minority of people who hate Alex Jones' views and wish to have his content blocked much the same way trolls are trying to take out Rick and Morty.
- JumpCrisscross 8y ago> not even Jews, despite what his detractors might say He’s talked extensively about the Jewish mafia. He promoted violence against the made-up “Pizzagate” B.S. and only backed down because Texan libel law is particularly stern. I support Alex Jones’ right to speak, but I don’t think—particularly in the era of the Internet—Apple should support him.
- yontherubicon 8y ago>Jewish Mafia There's a Jewish Mafia? >Pizzagate He talked about it, sure, but if you can find me where he promotes violence against Alefantis then I'll eat my hat.
- JumpCrisscross 8y ago> There's a Jewish Mafia? According to Jones [1][2]. (To be clear, there was a strain of Jewish-American organized crime around the turn of the last century [3], but that isn't what Jones was referring to.)

- pteredactyl 8y agoYou mean Murder, Inc? There are mobs of all races, ethnic groups. Although I can't speak specifically to the points mentioned by Jones, all those sources you cite are suspect.
- yontherubicon 8y agoThe source from Vox is Media Matters, which is literally a Democrat party source. I watched the video therein, and it's farily clear he's talking about the Emmanuels, not Jews as a whole. Also, even if there were a Jewish mafia, discussing Jewish organized crime is no more anti-Jewish than discussing Italian organized crime is anti-Italian.
- dmix 8y agoVox is a cancerous place to cite any political opinion...
- wuliwong 8y agoIf I was opposed to the Sicilian mafia, that doesn't make me racist against all Sicilians. I don't understand how this is different.
