“Personally, I think the charge that “it is all about the Jews” is the most weapons-grade idiocy out there. It’s like saying J.R.R. Tolkien wrote The Lord of the Rings because it was all about protecting the Hobbits and the security of the Shire, but that “take” sells because it is attention-grabbing, conspiratorial, and it plays on hatred rather than intellect.”
(Michael Smith – The Patriot Post) People tend to reduce events to a level of simplicity they can comfortably explain to themselves, a lowest-common-denominator version of reality that fits inside their existing worldview. It is as much a coping mechanism as an intellectual shortcut….
Complex systems, layered motivations, and long arcs of history get flattened into something bite-sized and emotionally satisfying. But because that reduction is filtered through individual experience, preexisting bias, and whatever information stream someone happens to swim in, it is very often wrong.
The Iran conflict is a case in point.
