    I mean, I haven’t watched the video. Guy however appeared in the Pandora papers. The Canadian government has sanctioned him for “gross and systematic human rights violations in Haiti and engaged in acts that threaten the peace, security, and stability of Haiti”. A quick search of his company (GB Group) seems to point to quasi-monopolistic practices on many Haitian markets. His father was sanctioned by the US as well in 91 around Aristide’s coup d’état. He is today Haiti’s one and only billionaire. He is also indeed a Zionist, even is honorary consul for Israel. What’s antisemitic about pointing any of that out?

      Thank you. That is a much better link.

      You have to admit “Jews have been running X country for 100 years” does not sound good what with all the “Jews control the world” conspiracy theories.

        I’m honestly curious if you think ‘a Zionist’ is the exact same thing with ‘a Jew’?

          Me? No. That person I’m talking to? Yes.

          Are you really going to claim there are no conspiracy theories about Jews controlling the world?
