Vicar found guilty of ‘anti-Semitic activity’

Church of England vicar found guilty of 'anti-Semitic activity' after sharing an article peddling conspiracy theory that Israel was responsible for 9/11 terror attacks is barred from ministry for 12 years

A Church of England vicar who peddled an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory that Israel was behind the 9/11 terror attacks has been barred from ministry for 12 years following a disciplinary hearing.

The Board of Deputies of British Jews made 11 allegations against the Rev Dr Stephen Sizer which claimed his conduct in incidents between 2005-2018 was ‘unbecoming or inappropriate’ in that he ‘provoked and offended’ the Jewish community and/or engaged in anti-Semitic activity.

The tribunal found he engaged in anti-Semitic conduct with respect to suggesting Israel’s responsibility for 9/11.

In total, the tribunal found Dr Sizer’s conduct was ‘unbecoming to the office and work of a clerk in Holy Order’ in that he provoked and offended the Jewish community and/or engaged in antisemitic activity with respect to four out of 11 allegations.

Dr Sizer, former vicar of Christ Church in Virginia Water, Surrey, admitted the ‘factual basis’ of all allegations against him but disputed that his conduct was unbecoming or inappropriate and denied provoking and offending the Jewish Community and/or engaging in anti-Semitic activity.

He was given a ‘penalty judgment’ under the Clergy Disciplinary Measure 2003.

This will prohibit the retired vicar from licensed ministry in the Church of England for 12 years – which will take into account time served since the Board of Deputies of British Jews 2018 complaint.

This means he will be free to practise again in 2030.

Throughout the process, the former vicar of Christ Church in Virginia Water, Surrey denied anti-Semitic behaviour but admitted the factual basis of all 11 claims.

In a rare move, Dr Sizer chose to hold his tribunal in public in a bid to clear his name, arguing that his actions were political and aimed at the state of Israel, not Jewish people.

However, the tribunal eventually found that Dr Sizer’s conduct had been ‘unbecoming to the office and work of a clerk in Holy Order’ in that he provoked and offended the Jewish community and/or engaged in anti-Semitic activity with respect to four out of 11 allegations.

In 2006, Dr Sizer met ‘senior Hezbollah commander’ Sheikh Nabil Kaouk in a secret location near Tyre, Lebanon – however he claimed he did not instigate the meeting.

Regardless, the tribunal decided it was ‘unacceptable’ for an ordained minister to make an ‘unauthorised visit’ to a senior commander of the military wing of Hezbollah other than in an official capacity and found Dr Sizer’s conduct unbecoming and inappropriate in that he provoked and offended the Jewish community.

It also concluded, however, that he was not engaging in anti-Semitic activity.

In September 2010, Dr Sizer posted a link to an article entitled The Mother of All Coincidences, which pushed the conspiracy theory that 9/11 was an Israeli plot.

The tribunal said an ordained minister should not have given 'the oxygen of publicity' to such an article and found his conduct was unbecoming and inappropriate in that he provoked and offended the Jewish community, although not engaged in anti-Semitic activity.

Dr Sizer was also accused of promoting the idea that Israel was behind the September 11 attacks by posting an article entitled: '9/11: Israel did it' in 2015.

-------------------


Hmmm, so pointing out all of Israel's fingerprints on so many aspects of that event is antisemitic?

As one scholar and author put it (pp):

It is an undeniable fact that Israel has regularly conducted terrorist attacks against its American and British benefactors. Does this, in and of itself, prove that the Israeli military/intelligence apparatus was somehow involved in 9/11? No, of course not. But it does prove propensity.

He sounds more like an imam than a vicar.




Archbishop of Canterbury statement on Stephen Sizer Penalty Judgment
30/01/2023

Following today’s penalty judgment of the Bishop’s Disciplinary Tribunal for the Diocese of Winchester regarding the Revd Dr Stephen Sizer, the Archbishop of Canterbury said:

“I note the findings of the Bishop’s Disciplinary Tribunal for the Diocese of Winchester regarding the Revd Dr Stephen Sizer and his subsequent prohibition from licensed ministry in the Church of England. It is clear that the behaviour of Stephen Sizer has undermined Christian-Jewish relations, giving encouragement to conspiracy theories and tropes that have no place in public Christian ministry and the church. I renew my call for the highest possible standards among ordained ministers of the Church of England in combatting antisemitism of all kinds.”

That's Fox News reporter Carl Cameron towards the end who says, How could they not know? He presented a two part series on the Israeli spy ring and after it was aired in Nov. 2001 it stayed up on the Fox News site for about 2 months until intense Israeli lobbying forced its removal.

Carl Cameron: Investigators suspect that the Israelis may have gathered intelligence about the attacks in advance, and not shared it. A highly placed investigator said there are "tie-ins." But when asked for details, he flatly refused to describe them, saying, "Evidence linking these Israelis to 9/11 is classified. I cannot tell you about evidence that has been gathered. It's classified information."

How can you document an event if you have no foreknowledge?

I wonder how many imams have ever been fired for antisemitism. Probably not as many as get fired for not being anti semitic enough.

Is it true that “9/11 was an inside job”? Yes, in so far as Israel is “inside” the U.S.

But for the 9/11 truthers who have identified Israel as the main perpetrators, “9/11 was an inside job” is at best a half-truth, and at worst an integral part of the Zionist operation, like a secondary flag sewn as a lining under the false flag of Islamism.

Filling the background with other documented Israeli false flag operations (the bombing of the King David Hotel in 1946, the Lavon Affair in 1954, etc.) * could have turned such a movement into a tsunami. The “inside job” theory, on the other hand, can never reach a critical mass, for a simple reason: the idea that the U.S. government would, by itself, deceive and terrorize its own citizens by killing thousands of them to justify wars in the Middle East that are not even in the nation’s interest is just too hard to believe for the vast majority of Americans — harder to believe than the official narrative with its material impossibilities. By comparison, Israel attacking America under the false flag of Islamic terrorists to win American support against their Arab enemies makes plain common sense.

While the Pentagon attack can only have been staged from within the Pentagon itself, the WTC attacks bear the unmistakable signature of Israel.

Those who had the means to bring down the Twin Towers and Tower 7 were those who owned these towers and controlled access to them. They were almost exclusively dual citizens with a strong loyalty to Israel and intimate connections to Israeli heads of State. To begin with, the three towers belonged to Larry Silverstein, whose complicity is so well established that I need not repeat the arguments.

Silverstein is “Israeli job”, not “inside job”. He figures at the highest rank among the 15,000 sayanim in the U.S. — in the estimation of Gordon Thomas in Gideon’s Spies (2007). So does his partner Frank Lowy, friend of Ehud Olmert, Ariel Sharon, Benjamin Netanyahu and Ehud Barak, and founder of the Israeli Institute for National Strategy and Policy. So does Ronald Lauder, who, as chairman of the New York State Privatization Commission — or was it as president of the World Jewish Congress — granted the lease to Silverstein and Lowy.

In the same New York gang of super-sayanim must be counted Zionist billionaire Maurice “Hank” Greenberg, who insured the Twin Towers but took the precaution of reinsuring the contract with competitors. In 1993, Greenberg took control of Kroll Incorporated, which provided security throughout the World Trade Center complex. And in 1999, his son Jeffrey Greenberg became CEO of Marsh & McLennan, which happened to occupy floors 93 to 100 of the North Tower, precisely the floors where an American Airlines Boeing crashed.

Flights AA 11 and UA 175 that crashed into the Twin Towers were also, in all probability, inserted in the war games, but in those two cases, additional help appears to have been needed from the Mossad. Both flights allegedly took off from Boston Logan airport, which subcontracted its security and passenger management to Huntleigh USA Corporation, bought in 1999 by International Consultants on Targeted Security (ICTS), an Israeli firm headed by former Israeli military officers and veterans of Israeli intelligence agencies, including Menachem Atzmon, a treasurer of the Likud party and close friend of future Prime minister Ehud Olmert (2006-2009). (Huntleigh also controlled Newark Airport in New Jersey, from which UA93 allegedly took off before allegedly crashing in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, but I will not include UA93 into the equation in order to keep it simple.)[10] So Israel’s fingerprints are found not only all over the Twin Towers, but also around the flights reported to have crashed into them.

Let’s be honest: those who refuse to discuss, or even think about Israel’s involvement in 9/11, do it for the same reason that most people refrain from blaming Israel, no matter how many crimes Israel commits. Some things haven’t changed for two thousand years: “no one spoke about him openly, for fear of the Jews” (John 7:13). Fear of the Jews is legitimate, but should not be confused with love of the truth. Fear of the Jews, remember, is the happy ending of the Book of Esther, after the Jews of Persia preemptively slaughtered their enemies (under the “rise and kill first” principle): “there was joy and gladness among the Jews, with feasting and holiday-making. Of the country’s population many became Jews, since now the Jews were feared” (8:17). Every year Jews celebrate this joyful bloodbath with the feast of Purim. And as Kevin Barrett has noted, “Purim exalts and commemorates an ancient operation very much like 9/11. It glorifies the deceptions of Esther, who concealed her Jewish identity to seduce the King of Persia, then slyly tricked him into slaughtering 75,000 people deemed ‘enemies of the Jews.’”

That is the deeper truth of 9/11: like Zionism itself, 9/11 is biblical.
