Chamish is a nut case and the sabatean/illuminati stuff is pure garbage. Tell me you don't believe this stuff. I suppose people are entitled to believe what ever nutty conspiracy stuff they want to believe but JTF does not support this type of fiction.
Chamish is not convincing on the sabbatean/illuminati stuff.. infact he hardly mentions the illuminati anyway. (maybe you're trying to use him as a scapegoat to criticise rabbi antelman.. I'm sure you're familiar with neither in any depth. There is really no substance to your argument).
rabbi antelman's work has some great stuff in it, some shocking stuff, but it is a bit random, and I didn't see much evidence for illuminati or powerful sabbatean control..
nobody has really defended that.. You are arguing with nobody and picking weak links, and just using chamish as the target for your attacks.
Let's talk Chamish, since that's the name you mention there.
Chamish's best work is on Rabin. Would you dismiss that as nutty conspiracy stuff?
I doubt that you would write a post serious enough to contend Barry Chamish's case, to contend the evidence that he publicised, that Yigal Amir did not kill rabin, and israeli intelligence did.
I doubt that you are aware of the evidence that he publicised, or that you would present the evidence and show how he twisted it into nutty conspiracy stuff.
I'm sure you can put together a more intelligent factual case than muman, but I doubt that you will. And if not willing to deal with substance, it's better not to criticise at all, it boils down to name calling.
You say JTF does not support "nutty conspiracy stuff" "this type of fiction"
You haven't dealt with a word of chamish's evidence.
Just saying he's a nutter. And JTF doesn't support nutty conspiracies.
Rhetoric, and poor rhetoric, because JTF accepts the following conspiracy theory written by an ex webmaster you now know to be a nutter.
(infact, most of us knew all along that he was a nutter!)
(that doesn't mean everything he writes is nonsense, i'm just using your reasoning against chamish and applying that to you, or to JTF whose position you represent)
http://www.jtf.org/israel/israel.rabin.assassination.htmThis doesn't look like the official story to me.
It includes no evidence, and it claims to know the motives of the people involved.
I suppose you might say that it's not a nutty conspiracy, because the person that wrote it is not a nutter... Ah, hang on.. He is a nutter. But you didn't know it at the time. Would that explain why it was not nutty when he wrote it, but now perhaps it is nutty?

The Shabak plan was to get Amir to think that he would be assassinating Rabin, when in fact, Raviv was supposed to replace the bullets in Amir's pistol with blanks. Then, when Amir would fire the blanks and the attempted assassination would be averted, Rabin would be hailed as a great hero and the "horrible" right-wing, religious Sefardic Jews would be universally reviled.
The day after the attempted assassination, Raviv was to hold a press conference with Shabak
taking credit for preventing the killing by placing blanks in the killer's weapon.
In fact, Rabin's wife, Leah, stated publicly that she was not disturbed when she heard the shots being fired, because she was assured by her Shabak bodyguards that the shots were only blanks.
..
Raviv did indeed replace the bullets in Amir's pistol with blanks. However, Amir checked the bullets in the pistol, discovered that they were blanks, and then replaced the blanks with real bullets again.
So what was supposed to be a staged attempted assassination turned into a real assassination.

So, that's the JTF position?
I've seen Chamish provide more evidence than that article has! At the end of the day though, both are stating a conspiracy theory.. And you would concede that the person that wrote it for JTF is a nutter.
You can't argue against conspiracy theories, against nutters writing conspiracy theories, when JTF accepts both of those themselves.
And by the way, when I talk of Chamish on Rabin, i'm not talking about ANY of Chamish's specific theories e.g. what the motives are. Just the facts the he publicised. Facts that you seem to reject, (Of course, facts that you are probably not even aware of anyway, and don't want to be aware of, because of a name hovering near them).
