Also on the subject of the Rockefellers and Rothschilds, conspiracy theories involving these families tend to have strongly negative connotations. I myself tend to regard any conspiracy theory mentioning these families with incredulity, as the inclusion of them in a conspiracy theory often forebodes an element of anti-Semitism. As a Christian, I am tired of people making Jews the subject of conspiracy theories; it becomes little more than modern day blood libel, and as I see it, as Christians, we have a responsibility to defend all religious minorities including the Jews, and also the endangered Christians of the Middle East and West Asia, such as the Assyrians, Copts and Armenians, and the persecuted Yazidis and various Sufi populations, such as the Alawis, Alevis and Bektasis, from further persecution, and one way to do this is to work to suppress hate speech targeting these minorities (for example, anti-Semitic conspiracy theories and blood libel, or the false accusation made by some Muslim scholars that the Yazidis are devil worshippers, which anyone familiar with Yazidi theology, which is really just a crypto-Christian variation on Syriac emanationist Gnosticism, will recognize as patently false, but it was under that pretense, the false idea that the Yazidis were engaging in devil worship, that ISIS waged a genocide against the peaceful Yazidis of Sinjar, killing most of the men and selling the women and children into slavery.
