Why do you think I’m saying the Guardian is involved in a conspiracy? I agreed they can be just doing factual reporting and also that this reporting happens to be useful to people who want to justify the US and Israel’s actions.

This is the “I’m just asking questions” wing of conspiratorial thinking. What you’re missing is that there’s absolutely no reason to be bringing any of this up at all. The connections you’re making are spurious. It’s also super common (and annoying) in on-line conversations of any sort when politics is being discussed. When maga does it leftists cry “conspiracy theory” (rightly so). When leftists do it and I point out the conspiracy thinking I get “you’re so naive! you can’t see that these things are related!?!”

BoTh SiDeS are absolutely guilty of conspiracy thinking. They just like their conspiracies and feel justified. Introspection is not a common talent.
