He spoke about his enthusiasm for the anti-Israel protests at US universities but then how awful the Congressional hearings were, asking the presidents of universities about antisemitism on campus:
I was so enthused about what was going on in Columbia and everywhere and then I saw - what I couldn't believe, because it freaked me out, was the Senate hearings they would have, which were like the Nuremberg trials, you know the Senate committee would be asking pointed questions to the presidents of the universities saying," I just want a yes or a no! Don't talk to me about context! Yes or no, are you promoting antisemitism in your college? Yes or no?" and I thought., "What is this, the Spanish Inquisition?" And it is! Yeah, it's AIPAC, it's the lobby.... for a while, well, Israel's running the show, running the world! Except for the BRICS."
The Nazis illustrated Clapton's opinion about Jews Zionists 80 years ago.
BRICS is, of course, the coalition of human rights paragons like Brazil, Russia, China and Iran.
Clapton has a history of outright racism. Already in 1976, Clapton - clearly drunk - said his opinions to his audience at a concert (very offensive language):
Do we have any foreigners in the audience tonight? If so, please put up your hands … So where are you? Well, wherever you all are, I think you should all just leave. Not just leave the hall, leave our country … I don’t want you here, in the room or in my country. Listen to me, man! I think we should send them all back. Stop Britain from becoming a black colony. Get the foreigners out. Get the wogs out. Get the coons out. Keep Britain white … The black wogs and coons and Arabs and f*cking Jamaicans don’t belong here, we don’t want them here. This is England, this is a white country, we don’t want any black wogs and coons living here. We need to make clear to them they are not welcome. England is for white people, man … This is Great Britain, a white country, what is happening to us, for f*ck’s sake? … Throw the wogs out! Keep Britain white!
He since apologized and has given to anti-racist causes, but we know how that works. He didn't change his opinion, but he didn't want to hurt his career. (Clapton also admitted to raping his wife whenever he wanted to. What a hero!)
Clapton tried to make the best of the situation, but in the end he finally went insane.
Clapton's embrace of antisemitic tropes of Jews (sorry, "Israel") running the world shows that he is still a bigot and a disgusting person through and through, but now he tries to cloak his hate as righteousness.
It doesn't take a PhD in psychology to realize that his opinions of Blacks, immigrants and Jews, 48 years apart, are two sides of the same bigoted coin. And it is a perfect case study of how modern anti-Zionism is a fig leaf for antisemites to be openly bigoted - and be cheered for it by their fellow bigots pretending to be moral.
