...Radical Farrakhan-nists and Fee-Palestine bigots:<br /><br />Do Brown, Black matter...if they're Israelis?<br /><br />BLACK, BROWN, WHITE, YELLOW ISRAELIS<br /><br />Since color has become a language somehow, and anti Israel bigots distort, then let's remind, most Israelis are "brown," in terms of stats. You have also many Ethiopian Jews.<br /><br />No wonder the propagandists will never show democratic multiracial Israel in day to day lives.<br /><br />Or elaborate on anti-black racism in the Goliath Arab world. Though all non Arabs have been through racism in that world.<br /><br />SECURITY VS RACISTS<br /><br />But of course Israeli security concerns are just that. Unrelated to any "color" or "race." Actually, speaking of racism, yes, Arab Muslim attackers target only Jews. Talk about real racism.<br /><br />BACKGROUND ON HIJACKING TERMINOLOGY<br /><br />True, hijacking of term 'it's racism," is as old as Palestine propaganda emerged by holocaust denier Issa Nakhleh who began in June-17-1949 the "like the Nazis and worse than nazis" line (and by Nov-14-1972 said all 6,000,000 were alive and Hitler "didn't" kill, and represented 'Muslim Congress' at Holocaust deniers convention in 1981), then picked up in 1960 by Nazi Tacuara saluter Ahmad Shukairy who by Oct-17-1961 added that garbage-touch apartheid slur too and questioned Catholic Uruguayan rep. Enrique Fabregat's loyalty, stating because he's (supposedly) a Jew. And both, of course were Hitler's ally ex-mufti Islamic leader al-Husseini avid fans. With Shukairy his aide.<br /><br />Speaking of ex Mufti's admirers... Sufi Abdul Hamid, infamous 'Black Hitler' in NY who called to drive out Italians and Jews in the 1929-30, was also his admirer.<br /><br />RE FARAKHANNISTS & FAKE "PRO-" <br /><br />One might begin to argue there is such a thing as "pro Palestine", (only) when Farrakhan linked Ilhan Omar / Linda Sarsour / Rashida Tlaib will have a routine of decrying Arab Muslim suffering when it's not in context of Israel (who has been facing existential threat ever since) but suffering when by Arab Muslim entities. One would then hear about a real en-masse massacre. Such as hundreds of thousands in Syria, current example. And if they begin to do anything along the line, then no lip service please. But with that same "passion" as in fake "sympathy" played at the 'other' case. <br /><br />The absentee reason is clear. Self explanatory. Because pro Palestine is a cover for anti Israel and often anti ALL Jews.<br /><br />A note re L Farrakhan, that guy with his "blue eyes are the devil," when he uttered his "termites" venom, his genocidal hint was clear under the veil. For more about Dehumanization in radical Islamic Arab or even mainstream racist "Palestinian" education and sermons, search for "apes and pigs, Palestinians".

Clearly Obama was a skilled debater in college and has continued to demonstrate the same as a legitimate candidate for the highest office in this country. He is certainly will not say (or do) that which makes you comfortable. As ministers and their respective ministries are to address the spiritual (and more often than not, in this country, their ECONOMIC needs that this country's mainstream citizenry and businesses fail to provide or demand on behalf disadvantaged humans and communities), I believe Minister Farrakhan was telling the truth about this country's disparaging treatment of humans in this country by the mainstream. And what mainstream conservatives will not and do not understand is the disingenuous manner that mainstream media pepper it news broadcasts with sound bites of Minsters Farrakhan (and more recently of Reverend Jeremiah Wright's sermons to incite confusion to the television audience to question Senator Obama's loyalty to this country, in public office or his integrity as our country's future President.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09830070572410637534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-3271313261987315972008-03-15T12:56:00.000-05:002008-03-15T12:56:00.000-05:00Obama can be beat, not by exposing his minister or...Obama can be beat, not by exposing his minister or his associations, but by exposing his theology.

He has to walk a fine line.<BR/><BR/>Clinton Endorses Farrakhan's Hate-March <BR/>By Don Feder<BR/>FrontPageMagazine.com | Friday, May 13, 2005<BR/><BR/>On its website, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) proudly proclaims its mission -- "To stop the defamation of the Jewish people … to secure justice and fair treatment for all."<BR/><BR/>But when a Democratic ex-president supports a march by the most notorious anti-Semite and hatemonger in America, the ADL runs for cover.<BR/><BR/>Bill Clinton has endorsed Minister Louis Farrakhan’s Million More March (scheduled for October 14-15, 2005, in Washington, D.C.). The event will mark the 10th anniversary of Farrakhan’s so-called Million Man March of 1995. (The 100,000-man march probably would be more accurate.)<BR/><BR/>In an exclusive interview with the Amsterdam News, a black newspaper published in New York City (and posted on its website on May 4th), Clinton calls the Farrakhan project "a very positive idea." Elaborating, the ex-president explains, "Jesse (Jackson) and Mr. Farrakhan and Rev. Sharpton probably have some internal domestic differences, but they’ve agreed on" the rally’s importance.<BR/><BR/>Clinton also retroactively endorsed the 1995 weird-fest, explaining that Farrakhan and friends, "were basically standing up for the dignity of the family and asking African American men and fathers to be more responsible." Moreover, "it was totally non-violent and got a big participation…."<BR/><BR/>So, there you have it: There was no looting. No one was assaulted. No Korean stores were torched. Lots of people showed up. That’s supposed to be a recommendation? Say the Klan held a well-attended rally urging rednecks to be better husbands and fathers – and no one was castrated or lynched. Would Monica’s playmate say that was "a very positive idea," too?<BR/><BR/>To state the obvious, Farrakhan is the biggest Jew-hater in America. Though, in all fairness, he also hates whites, Asians, Catholics and America itself. Did I forget anyone?<BR/><BR/> * In a February 27, 2005 speech in Chicago, the Nation of Islam leader proclaimed: "Listen, Jewish people don’t have no hands that are free of the blood of us (blacks) (sic.). They owned slave ships. They bought and sold us. They raped and robbed us."<BR/> * In 1995 and 1998, at the same venue, Farrakhan disclosed that besides running the trans-Atlantic slave trade, Jews also financed the Holocaust. ("German Jews financed Hitler right here in America.")<BR/> * Though few in numbers, in the world according to Louie, Jews control American foreign policy. ("The war in Iraq is not your war; that’s Israel’s war… The rudder that is turning America is not your elected officials; it’s that small, influential group of (Jewish) neo-conservatives that are using America’s power to destroy the enemies of Israel.") Has Farrakhan been talking to Pat Buchanan again?<BR/> * He doesn’t hate Jews, Farrakhan pleads. It’s just that Hollywood Jews continually stereotype black people. And Jewish landlords and merchants cheat black folks. And Jewish agents and employers exploit them. "I don’t like the way you (Jews) leech on us. See a leech is somebody that sucks your blood, takes from you and don’t give you a damned thing. … . You become our manager. You become our agent." You see, it’s just coincidence that everyone the Calypso Kid despises is Jewish.<BR/> * Also, Jews are, "wicked deceivers of the American people. You have sucked their blood. You are not real Jews (who everyone knows were black) You are the synagogue of Satan, and you have wrapped your tentacles around the US government, and you are deceiving and sending this nation to hell… . But if you choose to crucify me (subtle reference to the Deicide charge), know that Allah will crucify you." Oh, alright – he does hate Jews.<BR/> * Little wonder that you’ll usually find copies of notorious anti-Semitic tracts -- like "The Jews and Their Lies," "The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews" (purporting to "document" Jewish control of the slave trade) and, that favorite of Aryan Nation-types and holy warriors alike, "The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion") -- on sale at Farrakhan events, as they were at the 1995 March.<BR/> * That Minister Farrakhan is concerned about alleged Jewish control of America, doesn’t mean he’s enamored of the Land of the Free. In a 1997 article in The Amsterdam News, Louie-Lu-i disclosed, "A decree of death has been passed on America. The judgment of God has been rendered and she must be destroyed." Farrakhan and God regularly exchange e-mails.<BR/> * Doubtless, one reason Mullah Louis detests America is ‘cause it’s full of – Caucasians. Farrakhan: "White people are potential humans…they haven’t evolved yet." The black fuhrer has also been known to refer to the white race collectively as the "anti-Christ."<BR/> * Although Herr Farrakhan rarely pulls his punches, there are things he’d rather not say directly. So, in organizing the next Million Morons March, he’s partnered with one Malik Zulu Shabazz, leader of the (anti-Semitic/racist) New Black Panther Party. At a 2002 protest in front of the B’nai B’rith building in Washington DC, Zulu Shabazz told the mob: "Kill every goddamn Zionist (Jew )in Israel. Goddamn little babies. Goddamn old ladies. Blow up Zionist super-markets!" The better to kill Zionist babies and Zionist grandmothers?<BR/><BR/>Clinton is willing to brush all of this aside with a wave of his pudgy hand. Here, the ex-president is correcting an egregious oversight. With the exception of Farrakhan, there isn’t a brutish black leader that Clinton hasn’t fawned over. (Think Al Sharpton, think Jesse Jackson – both honored members of Clinton’s party.) By applying lips to Louie’s posterior, Clinton’s groveling is complete.<BR/><BR/>For the man who fancies himself America’s first black president, there’s one standard for blacks and another for whites. There’s one standard for American leaders, and another for those with a prefix before their names. What would never be tolerated in a Strom Thurmond or a David Duke, is excused in a Louis Farrakhan.<BR/><BR/>But Clinton isn’t the only one handing out free passes. The Anti-Defamation League is refusing to comment on, let alone condemn, the ex-president’s embrace of Farrakhan’s upcoming orgy of hatred – The Million Stooge March: Part Deux.<BR/><BR/>On the ADL’s homepage (www.adl.org) you’ll find a statement posted on May 2nd. confessing that the group is "saddened and disheartened" by the involvement of prominent black leaders in the Farrakhan/Shabazz event. It plaintively inquires, "When will someone in the African-American community stand up and say that the Million Man March has a positive message, but the pied piper is a racist and an anti-Semite?"<BR/><BR/>When will Clinton? And when will the ADL have the guts to condemn/criticize/confront an ex-president who is now an enabler of the pied piper of racism and anti-Semitism?<BR/><BR/>Despite repeated calls to the Anti-Defamation League’s press office over several days, I couldn’t get any one to talk to me about Clinton’s endorsement of Farrakhan’s march and, by extension, of Farrakhan.<BR/><BR/>When it comes to attacking conservatives – Pat Robertson, Mel Gibson – the ADL leaps to the fray swinging a battle axe. Of Gibson’s film "The Passion of The Christ," ADL National Director Abraham Foxman warned it "can fuel, trigger, stimulate, induce, rationalize, (and) legitimize anti-Semitism." Like me, you probably missed all of the Bible-Belt pogroms following showings of "The Passion."<BR/><BR/>Gee, Abe, what will Clinton’s endorsement of Farrakhan’s upcoming Nuremberg rally on the Mall trigger, stimulate, induce, rationalize (and) legitimize?<BR/><BR/>The ADL has betrayed its original mission. Today, it’s just another leftist group with a leftist agenda. That it refuses to comment on Clinton’s criminal stupidity is un-surprising. Much of its funding comes from wealthy Jewish Democrats who think Clinton is the messiah. The ADL is no more likely to slam a prominent Democrat than the Council on American Islamic Relations is to criticize the Saudi religious authorities.<BR/><BR/>I hope Clinton takes his endorsement of the Farrakhan’s march to the next logical step.<BR/><BR/>He could be a guest speaker at the event. If we’re fortunate, the Nation of Islam whack-job will again regale the crowd with his bizarre excursions into numerology. ("In the background is the Jefferson and Lincoln Memorial, each one of these monuments is 19 feet high. Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president. Thomas Jefferson, the third president, and 16 and three make 19 again. What is so deep about this number 19? … When you have a nine, you have a womb that is pregnant. And you have a one standing by the nine. It means there’s something secret that has to be unfolded.") This the Minister presumably learned while eating magic mushrooms with Tibetan lamas during a full solar eclipse, and listening to a Beatles album played backward.<BR/><BR/>With Clinton standing proudly at his side, perhaps Farrakhan will elucidate some of the other esoteric aspects of his theology – how the white race is the result of a genetic experiment by an evil black scientist, named Yacub, 6,000 years ago. Or how the minister was taken up to a UFO "mothership" where he got the inspiration for the original Million Man March. (Beam him up, Adolph.)<BR/><BR/>Farrakhan is an uber-bigot. Clinton is a boob. The ADL is a pathetic fraud. The next time you hear Foxman wailing and rending his garments over anti-Semitism, remember how Clinton’s TLC for the Nation of Islam got a free pass from the ADL.shi steyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06156668434573521077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-24208449276105899232008-03-06T01:27:00.000-06:002008-03-06T01:27:00.000-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.shi steyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06156668434573521077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-67833190875277416492008-03-04T07:17:00.000-06:002008-03-04T07:17:00.000-06:00In my opinion, Russert's challenge to Obama was ou...In my opinion, Russert's challenge to Obama was out of order the moment he tried to press the issue after Obama let his record on denouncing Farrakhan anti-Semitic views speak for itself. It's one thing to denounce a person's opinion, yet quite another to denounce the individual who holds them. It seemed as though Clinton and Russert wanted him to do both.<BR/><BR/>Senator Clinton was out of order when she tried to make Obama appear soft on the matter. Obama should not have conceded. By definition "Denounce" and "Reject" are synonymous. In fact, Merriam-Webster's definition would suggest that "denounce" is probably a stronger form of "rejection." They define it as "to pronounce especially publicly to be blameworthy or evil." Such a rejection cannot get any worse than that, and neither Clinton, Russert, Israel, or the America people should ask for more.<BR/><BR/>Mike an Obama supporter from NCMikeGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13979654326902957410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-53321246689200634342008-03-01T18:45:00.000-06:002008-03-01T18:45:00.000-06:00I have never met Farrakhan, and likely never will....I have never met Farrakhan, and likely never will.

I myself was left after that debate feeling unsettled and not satisfied by Obama's answers but I wasn't sure why, and now I know.<BR/><BR/>madisonman said:<BR/>"But should Presidential Candidates have to denounce the support of every skeevy little gasbag who holds to bizarre positions?"<BR/><BR/>The thing is, Farrakhan is not someone who just popped out of the woodwork to support Obama.<BR/>The problem is that Farrakhan was given an award, honoring him as a great man, by a publication of the church that is put out by the daughters of the pastor, Wright. (The name of this award, by the way, is named after Wright.) And Farrakhan, by the way, for those people who are not familiar with him, has been on an hostile, oratory attack for most of his life (he is in his 70's) against Jews, and his views are not just "bizarre" they are hateful. And furthermore, it's not just that it's the pastor of his church. By Obama's own admission, Wright is his mentor. He prayed with Obama and his wife before he decided to announce his candidacy. How can Obama possibly respect and look up to and want to learn from someone who thinks Farrakhan is a great man? <BR/><BR/>It seems clear that Obama is afraid of coming out too strong against Farrakhan for fear of losing votes, which like the article says is understandable. But for me what is most disappointing, is that he chose to continue a close relationship with a church and pastor who supported someone like Farrakhan to begin with. I can tell you right off, that if my synagogue's newletter gave an award to the head of the KKK, I'd have been out of there in a minute.<BR/>I also understand how hard it is for already established Obama supporters to deal with the reality of the facts in this situation. It is easier to rationalize and come up with excuses for him because we want to believe in him so much. But the facts are the facts, and I hope that the press continues to pressure him to give us as an answer that we can live with, which at this point there may be only one left: I made a mistake and was blinded by the influence that the church had on me, and I didn't see how supporting the church was wrong and enables this kind of anti-semitic thinking. <BR/>I can only hope, if Obama's learning curve is as great as is claimed, that even if Obama doesn't have the courage to say this publicly, that he knows it in his heart.realityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08811784968706232578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-72670680290799929712008-02-29T20:28:00.000-06:002008-02-29T20:28:00.000-06:00Please tell me you are not that naive!

I agree that Obama's response was woefully inadequate. However, your racially disturbing pseudo-analysis is also inadequate. How is the desire to reform a historically powerful alliance and to acknowledge the role of Jewish Americans in the Civil Rights movement narcissistic or anti-Semitic? I would respect you more if you admitted your generalized contempt for African Americans, your hostility to the idea of a Black president, and your discomfort with a nominee whose name invokes an association with Islam. Racism is just as bad as anti-Semitism. Frankly, I am stunned that you are a professor given your poor writing skills and your inability to construct or sustain a complex analysis. I certainly hope you don't have any Black students as I can imagine how poorly you must treat them.

Trinity Church is in many respects a sort of Christian sister of the Nation of Islam.<BR/><BR/> This double albatross threatens to take Obama down. I don't think he himself is a racist or an anti-Semite. In fact he has long had strong support among liberal and moderate Jews and recently called Israel's security "sacrosanct." But he has to actively dissociate himself from Farrakhan. If it puts him in a bind and requires him to appear disloyal to a certain narrow slice of the electorate, so be it. That's the bed he made.ambahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12042450225428891273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-65347600834622084632008-02-28T20:04:00.000-06:002008-02-28T20:04:00.000-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.ambahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12042450225428891273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-87247073538533682372008-02-28T15:45:00.000-06:002008-02-28T15:45:00.000-06:00Discriminating voters will look at this as of a pi...Discriminating voters will look at this as of a piece with his statements that he will sit down face to face with ImOnAJihad, Castro, Chavez, etc. Isn't Obama really saying, "nobody is going to make me call anybody names.

Well, I had to tell somebody). :-) <BR/><BR/>Are you aware of a similar 'semantic argument substituting for an injustice trial' of great importance in the Dreyfus-Affaire-esq, Al-Durah Affair trial? <BR/><BR/>France2 TV News' complicity in knowingly airing fabricated, Israel-damning Palestinian propaganda-footage is being whitewashed in a Paris appellate courtroom. <BR/><BR/>You can listen to the recorded-live audioblog from TheSecondDraft.com's Prof. Landes, (courtesy of Pajamas Media's Roger Simon), on Joo-Tube.com (aka www.blessingbank.blogspot.com/. <BR/><BR/>Let me know how you like it. Where are your cross-links to affinity sites? Thank you for your zeal in battling injustice! Does it seem like Judaic issues are like a lightning-rod for drawing it out into the open?DemoCasterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15943737729085386897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-90405064402566263402008-02-28T11:12:00.000-06:002008-02-28T11:12:00.000-06:00In the end, O-Bama-Lama-Ding-Dong STILL didn't "de...In the end, O-Bama-Lama-Ding-Dong <B><I>STILL</I></B> didn't "denounce" or reject support from Farrakhan. Instead, he simply said "...if the word 'reject' Senator Clinton feels is stronger than the word 'denounce,' then I'm happy to concede the point, and I would reject and denounce." He simply conceded a semantic point to Shrillary, and said that, <B>if</B> that point were to be true--the semantic point he conceded--then, and only then, <B>would</B> he "reject and denounce" support from Farrakhan. But he hasn't yet truly conceded that the semantic point translates to political reality. Thus, he still tacitly accepts Farrakhan's support.Jeff Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17826755658213329360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-22472237910655020002008-02-28T10:35:00.000-06:002008-02-28T10:35:00.000-06:00Hoosier Daddy, When questioning why Israel does so...Hoosier Daddy, When questioning why Israel does some of the things that it does, they always complain that it's unfair to hold them to the "only liberal democracy in the Middle East" standard. They would much rather be graded to the local religious dictatorship standard. So treat them as if they were Sudan, not France.former law studenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15196697206046544350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-7776526330262885072008-02-28T10:27:00.000-06:002008-02-28T10:27:00.000-06:00The "World Islamic People’s Leadership Conference"...The "World Islamic People’s Leadership Conference" does not maintain a web presence, so I cannot comment on them.<BR/><BR/>Warith Deen, the son of Elijah Muhammad, rejected his father's black separatist teachings and led his followers into mainstream Sunni Islam. That's why Syed was able to embrace him and his group. Muslims can accept Farrakhan and his followers only insofar as they abandon THEM's black separatist teachings, because, unlike American Protestant Christianity, Islam sees no races and never has, as Daniel Pipes points out. <BR/><BR/><I>Under the leadership of Warith D. Muhammad, the former Nation of Islam has become an orthodox community of Sunni Muslims. From the moment he took over as leader, he sought to align the doctrine of the organization with the Quran. He did away with Elijah Muhammad's doctrine of racial separation. He struggled to dismantle the cult-like structure. He also restored Malcolm X to a position of honor, naming a mosque after him. Warith began honoring the Constitution and encouraging participation in the political process. Most of the real estate holdings were quickly sold off. He redefined W.D. Fard as a 'wise man', and began to teach the five pillars of orthodox Islam. The name of the organization was changed to the Bilillian Community and later to the World Community Al-Islam in the West (WCIW).</I><BR/>http://www.islamfortoday.com/africanamerican02.htm<BR/><BR/>The NOI's belief that W.D. Fard was Allah come to earth places NOI in the same relation to Islam as the Unification Church's belief that the Rev. Sun Myung Moon is the Second Messiah places it in relation to Christianity, that is, far far away.former law studenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15196697206046544350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-59126063567672512512008-02-28T06:44:00.000-06:002008-02-28T06:44:00.000-06:00Hurtful because it enflames hatred from "the terro...<I>Hurtful because it enflames hatred from "the terrorists" (I hate phrasing like this, but whatever)...</I><BR/><BR/>I see.

I would certainly NOT be NAMING MY BOOK AFTER SOMETHING HE SAID !!!! <BR/>The American people may not follow the intricacies of the exchange with Russert but they can sure understand how very, very weird it is for Mr Obama to stay in such a church.Margaret Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15507934837064261269noreply@blogger.com
