LONDON — The WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange suggested in comments published Tuesday that British journalists, including the editor of The Guardian newspaper, were engaged in a “Jewish” conspiracy to smear his organization.
His remarks appeared in the magazine Private Eye, in an article by its editor, Ian Hislop, that outlined a rambling phone call Mr. Assange made on Feb. 16 to complain about coverage of WikiLeaks.
The object of his ire was a Private Eye report last month that one of Mr. Assange’s associates in Russia, Israel Shamir, had denied the Holocaust. Mr. Assange complained that the coverage was part of a campaign by “Jewish” reporters in London to smear WikiLeaks. That conspiracy, he told Mr. Hislop, is led by The Guardian newspaper, naming Alan Rusbridger, its editor, and David Leigh, its investigations editor, and includes John Kampfner, a prominent London journalist who had recently reviewed two books about WikiLeaks for The Sunday Times of London.
When Mr. Hislop pointed out that Mr. Rusbridger is not Jewish, the article published Tuesday said, Mr. Assange countered that he was “sort of Jewish” because he and Mr. Leigh are brothers-in-law. Later, the article recounted, Mr. Assange asked Mr. Hislop to “forget the Jewish thing,” but he continued to insist there was a conspiracy against WikiLeaks, based on a friendship between the three men.

Those evil Jews are everywhere. LOL idiots
Why do people always blame the Jews, this is one thing I could never understand, It seems to be the same reason they inner city blacks blame the korean dry cleaners and grocery stores for their own misery. Pure ignorant envy. Rather then blaming themselves for their own folly they seek to blame someone who seems to have it better than themselves. The people they blame got there through hard work on their own, so that makes them a target of envy....?
And I thought that they were only after Charlie Sheen!
It’s always the Jooz isn’t it? It is the last defense of the indefensible.
Is Julian Assange really running anything these days, or is he simply swanning around, living it up as a leftist darling?
What an original thinker.
What goes around...
They're only after Charlie Sheen's drugs.....Charlie Sheen. Wait....what?
What a moron. Just when you think he can’t get any more paranoid and whinny, he does.
Oh, dear. Weep, weep. weep.
First you alienate evryone with any sense on Planet Earth, then you look for sympathy?
Get real.
Judging from their unique interview style, Assange and Charlie Sheen must be twins separated at birth.
ahh, there it is....at the intersection of Daniel Ellsberg and Lyndon LaRouche...
It’s always the Joooooooooooooooooooooooooooosssssssssss. If I may ask any Jewish FReepers, how do you guys find any leisure time? It must take a lot to run the media.:)
The anti-Jewish sentiment of the left just became that much clearer. And oddly enough, Assange’s rhetoric about the Jewish-controlled media sounds just like that of a white nationalist neo-Nazi headcase. Hmmm, I wonder how that could be? /s
It must be those Swedish Jews,you know how they are!
Well, that lets the Intergalactic Freemason Conspiracy off the hook. ...
Astonishing chuztpah from Ass-ange, considering that the Guardian is the most anti-semitic newspaper in Britain.
In his defense, he did pronounce it “shmeer.”
