Texas Border Convoy Descends into Antisemitism
Conspiracy theories regarding "Jewish money" and terrorism have been promoted at a border rally in Texas.
The video shows Michael Yon making false claims regarding so-called "terrorists coming across the border being funded by Jewish money." Yon was speaking at a "Take Back Our Border" convoy in Texas.
In the video posted on X, formerly Twitter, the man can be heard claiming that HIAS, a global Jewish nonprofit that works to protect refugees, is responsible for funding terrorists coming to America.

I’m getting worried.
I planned a vacation to TX for my birthday in early April, because it happens to coincide with the eclipse, and Dallas will be one of the best places to view it from.
So, since I had a lot of points to splurge on, I extended the vacation a bit and we’re going to fly into Houston, hang there for a bit, then spend my birthday weekend in Austin, then Dallas for the eclipse, and back down to Houston to fly home.
Lots of stuff I want to do in each city, and I know the cities are generally lean a bit more liberal, but I’m getting more concerned each day about actually spending my birthday and a monumental celestial event inside an actual civil war.
I live on the border, and you really don't need to worry unless you're pregnant.
Unless some kind of armed violence and wide scale conflict actually breaks out, you'll be perfectly fine. Especially in the cities, most of those people are just as aghast as you.
You’ll be fine. The average Texan isn’t even aware of this stupid shit and the cities you listed are way more left-leaning than a small town in whatever state you’re from.
This is a few hundred idiots in a state with a population of 30 million people. I saw more people at Costco yesterday.
Some articles have misrepresented it as 1,000 people, but that was a concert in Dripping Springs, a small town outside of Austin (not the border) with Ted Nugent and Sarah Palin. 1,000 people turning out for a musician with Top 40 hits is actually a very poor turnout for being near a city with 1,000,000 people.
This is all just media hype. Edit to add: And politician hype. I’m not sure which one I’m angrier at. They both suck for trying to “make fetch happen.”
I cancelled my trip for the eclipse. Why mess with texas?
Your first mistake was planning to go to Texas.
I'm sure it's like Florida and the cities are fine. Inside the cities here it's tolerant and more progressive, in the country and even now the suburbs it's different.
Dallas, Houston, Austin, even San Antonio, Galveston I wouldn't worry about visiting.
