"Given that there's going to be inflammatory testimony about Jews and Zionism, I think it would be hard for Jews to cast aside any innate antipathy."
Expect cries of racism…3…2…1. (Islam isn't a race, but no matter). Islamic Jew-hatred, it's in the quran. So of course because the jihadist is a Jew-hating nazi, there should be no Jews on jury. Typical Islamic "thinking."
Another gruesome show trial. Why this man is being tried in NYC rather than being tried as the enemy combatant he is by a military commission in Gitmo?

U.S.
Jury Without Jews Request Rejected by New York City Judge ABC News, March 12, 2013
A lawyer's request that Jewish people be excluded from a jury that will
hear a case of a suspected terrorist, accused of lying about plans to
kill Americans in Afghanistan, was rejected today by a New York City
judge.
"The judge denied my application," Frederick Cohn, the lawyer representing Abdel Hameed Shehadeh, told ABC News.com.
Jury selection is expected to begin this week, but Cohn initially told
federal Judge Eric Vitaliano in February that he planned to request a
jury free of Jewish citizens."Your Honor . . . as you know, I'm not wild about having Jews on the
jury in this case," Cohn said at the time. "Given that there's going to
be inflammatory testimony about Jews and Zionism, I think it would be
hard for Jews to cast aside any innate antipathy."
By law jurors cannot be excluded from a jury based on race, gender or religion, a point prosecutors made in February.
"I don't think [the magistrate overseeing jury selection] will be ready
to violate the Constitution and exclude people from the jury on the
basis of their religious beliefs," prosecutor William Sarratt told the
court, as first reported by the New York Post.Shehadeh is not the first accused Muslim terrorist to rail against Jews in the jury box.
In 2010, Aafia Siddiqui,
an American trained neuroscientist nicknamed "Lady Al Qaeda," accused
of killing American soldiers in Afghanistan and plotting an attack in
New York, requested that prospective jurors be given DNA tests to
exclude Jews."I have a feeling everyone here is them [Jews], subject to genetic
testing… They should be excluded if you want to be fair," she told
federal Judge Richard Berman at the time.

I think Mr. Cohn could more easily get an acquittal if he has a jury full of Jews. Modern Jews, especially American Jews, are so afraid of being linked to Israel, they’d set this guy free just to maintain their multi-culti PC cred.

Just when I think I’ve heard it all.
The Jewish defense lawyer has brass ones!

“Virtue in the middle”, said the devil as he sat between two lawyers.

Sadly, you are correct.

It’s too bad these bits of evidence were not blurted out in the presence of the jury. They go toward the motivation of the criminal actions.

Those that are not ACTIVELY PREPARRING for what WHAT MOST CERTAINLY must happen in the next 20 years – are CRAZY. Will you or anyone leave this earth and their FAMILIES to the will of the most animalistic, barbaric inbred morons (far, FAR worse than the “SS” of der furer).
I say this – when the time comes American and Bristish and French atom boms MUST incinerate this disease of humanity. And NOT ONE tear should be shed becase THEY ate what they are … more precisely they ARE WHAT THE SAY they are.
