[ April 22, 2024 ]
Unlike the disruptions, shutdowns, and violence that are now commonplace on the exceedingly rare occasion that a pro-Israel, conservative or counter-terror speaker appears at a university or college, the New School panel on antisemitism featuring antisemites such as Linda Sarsour went off without a hitch. It makes you think — are people afraid, stupid or apathetic? Whatever it is, the situation is not static. American Jews are going to find themselves in a very dark place in a very short time. What was done to me is what will be done to every Jew who does not go quietly (the Judenrat).
As for the panel’s open hatred of Israel and their attempts to separate it from its mother, antisemitism, Martin Luther King exposed these frauds:
“When people criticize Zionists they mean Jews, you are talking anti-Semitism.”

“I can say with absolute certainty that Martin abhorred anti-Semitism in all its forms, including anti-Zionism,”—Clarence B. Jones, personal attorney and close adviser to Martin Luther King Jr.
“Martin… warned repeatedly that anti-Semitism would soon be disguised as anti-Zionism.”—Clarence B. Jones, personal attorney and close adviser to Martin Luther King Jr.
“Peace for Israel means security, and we must stand with all our might to protect its right to exist, its territorial integrity. I see Israel as one of the great outposts of democracy in the world, and a marvelous example of what can be done, how desert land can be transformed into an oasis of brotherhood and democracy. Peace for Israel means security and that security must be a reality.”
“Israel’s right to exist as a state in security is incontestable.”
Thanks to Mark Z, I received more of antisemite Sarsour’s remarks from the uber-left, pro-jihad Haaretz:
At anti-Semitism panel, Linda Sarsour asks, ‘I am the biggest problem of the Jewish community?’
Minutes before Palestinian-American activist Linda Sarsour took the stage at The New School’s Alvin Johnson Auditorium as part of a panel on anti-Semitism, one of the organizers went up to deliver a number of key instructions to audience members in case protesters would try to shut down the event.
But the fears that the event would be disrupted by right-wing protesters turned out to be for naught. Despite two weeks of a media frenzy, a petition signed by more than 21,000 people and loads of criticism from both left and right, the panel concluded with only two very minor interruptions.
Typical uber-left hate reportage. When the left disrupts, shutdowns conservative speech, they do not report on it. When it doesn’t happen at a Jew-hatred fest, they do report on it not happening.
“Apparently I am the biggest problem of the Jewish community? I am the existential threat, Apparently? I am confused, literally, every day,” said Sarsour, addressing the controversy that preceded the event.
Islamic Jew-hatred is the gravest threat the Jewish community faces today. Yes.
Sarsour, a prominent advocate for Muslim Americans, criminal justice reform and civil rights, is the former executive director of the Arab American Association of New York and co-chaired last January’s National Women’s March. During the past year, particularly as her profile in progressive circles increased after the march, Sarsour has raised the ire of conservatives, Zionist activists and so-called alt-right figures who accuse her of supporting terrorists and promoting anti-Semitism – largely due to her support of the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement and her criticism of Israel.
Haaretz’s kissing jihad’s ring – it’s their editorial policy, is all.
“I am deeply honored and humbled to be here on this stage with people who have been some of the staunchest allies of the communities that I come from,” Sarsour said during the panel. “We cannot dismantle anti-Black racism, Islamophobia, homophobia, transphobia, every phobia and -ism without also dismantling anti-Semitism.”
“Intersectionality is not about black and white people organizing together or Jews and Muslims organizing together. It is all of us organizing at the intersections of oppression and seeing oppression [as] connected. Anti-Semitism is one branch on a larger tree of racism,” she added. “You can’t just address one branch, you need to address all branches together so we can get to the root of the problem.”
There are no moral distinctions at all. Good battling evil is as bad as evil because such distinctions are not made.
In her remarks, Sarsour spoke at length about her criticism of Zionism. “Just in case it’s not clear, I am unapologetically Palestinian-American and will always be unapologetically Palestinian-American. I am also unapologetically Muslim-American. And guess what? I am also a very staunch supporter of the BDS movement. What other way am I supposed to be, as a Palestinian-American who’s a daughter of immigrants who lived under military occupation and still has relatives in Palestine that live under military occupation? I should be expected to have the views that I hold,” she said.
The State of Israel is not a “military occupation.” This is the rhetoric of Jew-hating jihad.
Regardless of their feelings toward Israel, said Sarsour, Jews and non-Jews alike “must commit to dismantling anti-Semitism. The existential threat resides in the White House, and if what you’re reading all day long in the Jewish media is that Linda Sarsour and Minister [Louis] Farrakhan are the existential threats to the Jewish community, something really bad is going to happen and we are going to miss the mark on it.”
President Trump, great friend to Israel and the Jews, is the problem according to jihad Sarsour not Louis Farrakhan who said:
“ It is now becoming apparent that there were many Israelis and Zionist Jews in key roles in the 9/11 attacks. Israelis had foreknowledge of the attacks… We know that many Jews received a text message not to come to work on September 11”
Saviour’s Day Speech, 2015
“They [the Jews] are the greatest controllers of Black minds, Black intelligence. They write the scripts — the foolish scripts on television that our people portray. They are the movie moguls that feature us in these silly, degrading, degenerate roles. The great recording companies that portray our people in such a filthy and low-rating way, yet they would not allow such a man as Michael Jackson to say one word that they thought would besmirch their reputation, but they put us before the world as clowns and as purveyors of filth. No, I will fight that.”
Meet The Press interview, 10/18/98
“Of course, they [the Jews] have a very small number of people but they are the most powerful in the world, they have the power to do good and they have the power to do evil…Now what do the Jews do best? Well, they have been the best in finance that the world has ever known…They finance a lot of stuff in the world, and there’s nothing wrong with that, but they are not good politicians, they are the worst politicians because they don’t recognize really their friends and as well their enemies…”
Saviours’ Day Speech, Chicago, 2/22/98
“I believe that for the small numbers of Jewish people in the United States, they exercise a tremendous amount of influence on the affairs of government…Yes, they exercise extraordinary control, and Black people will never be free in this country until they are free of that kind of control…”
Meet The Press interview, 4/14/97
“To continue to point out the truth of that control and how that control never will allow us to be full and completely men, free, justified, and equal. Why should we be controlled by the power, influence, and money of others? We should not be under that kind of control…going to Jewish philanthropists, begging them for money to support our causes, and through that money, there is control, and that kind of control limits the freedom of our people to speak freely, write freely, think freely, and act as free men…”
Meet The Press interview, 4/14/97
“And you do with me as is written, but remember that I have warned you that Allah will punish you. You are wicked deceivers of the American people. You have sucked their blood. You are not real Jews, those of you that are not real Jews. You are the synagogue of Satan, and you have wrapped your tentacles around the U.S. government, and you are deceiving and sending this nation to hell. But I warn you in the name of Allah, you would be wise to leave me alone. But if you choose to crucify me, know that Allah will crucify you.”
Saviours’ Day Speech, Chicago, 2/25/96
“I don’t own Hollywood. Who depicted Black people? Who writes the books? Who writes the plays, the songs that make us look less than human? Do you mean to tell me that Jews have never done any evil to Black people?…Were they not involved in the slave trade? Yes, they were…and to the extent that they were involved, somebody has to bring them to account. And I believe that has fallen on me.”
Interview with New York Amsterdam News, 1/8/94
On “Jewish Conspiracies ”
“They [Israel and Jews] have been working for years to control your representatives in Congress, in the Senate, in the House of Representatives. They don’t fear America because they control it from within”
Saviour’s Day Speech, 2015
Mentioning National Security Adviser Sandy Berger, Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin and presidential advisor Rahm Emanuel, Farrakhan said, “Every Jewish person that is around the president is a dual citizen of Israel and the United States of America…And sometimes, we have to raise the question, ‘Are you more loyal to the state of Israel than you are to the best interests of the United States of America.'”
News conference at the National Press Club, 10/19/98
“I look at Lucianne Goldberg, Linda Tripp, Monica Lewinsky, and I ask myself, ‘Why was this introduced at this time when Netanyahu was being pressured by the president to give up more land on the West Bank,’…I think we need to look deeper into this than just what appears on the surface.”

“Don’t be afraid of the Zionists. Don’t be afraid of their power, Mr. Clinton. Stop bowing down.”
Speech at Howard University, Washington DC, 10/16/98
“They call them [Hezbollah] terrorists, I call them freedom fighters…No one asks why they would do such a thing. Why would they do such a thing? What has driven them to this point? That’s what the UN, the U.S. and Europe doesn’t want to deal with because the Zionists have control in England, in Europe, in the United States and around the world.”
Speech at the District Council 33 Union Hall,
Philadelphia, PA, 4/22/96
“How did we get into World War II? You say Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. Yes, they did, but what were the forces that created in Japan the desire or the need to force them to attack America? You don’t know that. But when America went to war after the attack on Pearl Harbor, she had to borrow money. There were the international bankers again. They financed all sides. And how many millions of Americans lost their lives? Suppose Hitler was trying to destroy the international bankers controlling Europe, but he went about it by attacking a whole people. All Jews are not responsible for the evil of the few who do evil…But certain Jews have used Judaism as a shield.”
Saviours’ Day Speech, Chicago, 2/26/95
On the Holocaust
“The Jews have been so bad at politics they lost half their population in the Holocaust. They thought they could trust in Hitler, and they helped him get the Third Reich on the road.”
Saviours’ Day Speech, Chicago, 2/22/98
“German Jews financed Hitler right here in America…International bankers financed Hitler and poor Jews died while big Jews were at the root of what you call the Holocaust…Little Jews died while big Jews made money. Little Jews [were] being turned into soap while big Jews washed themselves with it. Jews [were] playing violin, Jews [were] playing music, while other Jews [were] marching into the gas chambers…”
Mosque Maryam, Chicago, 3/19/95
On Jewish Involvement in the Slave Trade
“[U]ntil Jews apologize for their hand in that ugly slave trade; and until the Jewish rabbis and the Talmudic scholars that made up the Hamitic myth — that we were the children of Ham, doomed and cursed to be hewers of wood and drawers of water — apologize, then I have nothing to apologize for.”
Interview in Swing magazine, 9/24/96
“How did I get to be an anti-Semite…What have I done? I told the truth about Jewish involvement in the slave trade. Your own writers say the same thing. Well, if they’re not anti-Semitic for writing it, how the hell am I anti-Semitic for reading what they wrote and then saying it?…I didn’t write your history, you wrote it. And then the sad thing, when you confront them with what their scholars have said, they say, ‘Well is this part of the old conspiracy talk?'”
Mosque Maryam, Chicago, 3/19/95
On Israel
“They [Israel] wouldn’t allow me to go to Jerusalem. If I had gone they might have stoned me. I didn’t want to repeat history. I know they stoned Jesus. I know they’ve killed the prophets of God there.”
Saviours’ Day Speech, Chicago, 2/22/98
“I believe that for the small numbers of Jewish people in the United States, they exercise a tremendous amount of influence on the affairs of government. … Mr. President, Mr. Clinton, instead of exercising the strength of a man whose country contributes at least $4 billion every year to the state of Israel, America has influence in Israel but is not using that influence in a constructive way, but, rather, pays lip service to the Palestinians while she bows to the dictates of Netanyahu and the strong political Jewish lobby.”Meet The Press interview, 4/14/97
On Dialogue with Jews
“I want to sit down and dialogue with members of the Jewish community with no preconditions. That demand for me to apologize comes out of an arrogance that makes one feel that if I am critical of Jewish behavior relative to Black people, that all of a sudden I have to apologize for being critical…I don’t think that I should have to apologize unless I am shown that there is something that I have said that is not correct. Then I would have no problem…to ask for forgiveness…”
Meet The Press interview, 10/12/97
“…I’m afraid that you [Jewish people] will come to regret the day that I offered you a chance to let us sit down together and dialogue and you, in your emotional reaction, rejected that offer…You will [regret it] because if my influence and growth and power in America does not diminish and it will not, by the help of God, then what benefit would it be to you not to sit down and dialogue with me when the racial problem is not getting any better…”
Fox News Sunday interview, 3/30/97
Apart from Sarsour, the panel also featured Rebecca Vilkomerson, the executive director of Jewish Voices for Peace, Leo Ferguson of Jews for Racial and Economic Justice and Lina Morales, a member of Jews of Color and Mizrahi/Sephardi Caucus of JVP. The event was moderated by journalist and author Amy Goodman, the host of the alternative news program “Democracy Now!”
The panel, organized by JVP, Haymarket Books, Jacobin magazine, Jews for Racial and Economic Justice and The New School’s Creative Publishing and Critical Journalism program, was preceded by great controversy over Sarsour’s participation. Jonathan Greenblatt, the CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, tweeted that “Having Linda Sarsour & head of JVP leading a panel on antisemitism is like Oscar Meyer leading a panel on vegetarianism.” Writing for Tablet Magazine, Phyllis Chesler, a New School alumni, wished that she could give back her diploma.
“Antisemitism is harmful and real. But when antisemitism is redefined as criticism of Israel, critics of Israeli policy become accused and targeted more than the growing far-right,” read the event’s description.
The other panelists were similarly critical of Israel and of the Jewish American community that rebukes activists like Sarsour yet embraces far-right figures like Steve Bannon and Sebastian Gorka. “I am angry at the profound hypocrisy of the institutional Jewish community, which has taught us that loving Israel does not mean that you love Jews,” said Vilkomerson. “Because I care about Jews, I am anti-Zionist,” said Morales. “Nothing can be more counterproductive or hurtful to Jews than to be intentionally confusing the issue of anti-Semitism by spreading false charges of anti-Semitism,” said Ferguson, in reference to the “smearing” of pro-Palestinian activists by Jewish-American organizations. Lobbing false accusations of anti-Semitism, he argued, “slowly erodes our ability to accurately assess threats.”
Two hours before the debate was scheduled to begin, over 15 policemen and security guards and multiple police cars were already surrounding the venue where it was to be held. A small protest took place across the street, with some demonstrators holding signs and chanting against Sarsour and JVP.
“This panel is spitting in the face of Jews – four anti-Semites talking about anti-Semitism,” Karen Lichtbraun, one of the demonstrators and head of the New York chapter of the Jewish Defense League told Haaretz. JVP, she charged, wanted to “drive a wedge between Jews” by inviting Sarsour. “[Sarsour] wants to bring Sharia law to America. She is brainwashing a lot of young Jews,” she claimed.
“Nobody has a monopoly on talking about anti-Semitism,” Rabbi Alissa Wise, deputy director of Jewish Voice for Peace and one of the event’s organizers, told Haaretz. “As a rabbi and a Jew, I feel safer in the world knowing that there are more people, non-Jewish allies, Muslims, Christians, people of no faith, who are taking up the question of anti-Semitism seriously.”
When asked about the commotion in the media that surrounded the event, Wise said: “There’s something particular about the role that Linda plays in the psyche of the American Jewish community. We’ve done these anti-Semitism events in Indianapolis, Chicago, the Bay Area, Philadelphia, and this is not the only one where a Muslim is speaking. Never before have we seen this kind of frenzy. It just seems like a witch hunt of sorts.”
Tuesday’s event was not the first time a planned appearance by Sarsour caused controversy: Her invitation to deliver the commencement address at the City University of New York School of Public Health in June raised the ire of pro-Israel activists. The uproar included a protest rally against her speech outside CUNY’s main office building, headed by far-right provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos, who called Sarsour a “Sharia-loving, terrorist-embracing, Jew-hating, ticking time bomb of progressive horror.”
Actually, I organized the rally, but I hardly expect Haaretz to get anything right.
“When I spoke at the CUNY graduate center back in June, something really disturbing happened,” said Sarsour during the panel. “I don’t care if people protest against me. What was confusing to me at that moment was, how is it that people that are Jewish are standing in a really against me with Milo Yiannopoulos, Richard [sic] Spencer, and Gavin McInnes? Why are they there with them? I hope the Jewish community stands up and says that’s wrong, that under no circumstance should Jewish people align with people like Milo or Pamela Geller or Richard [sic] Spencer or Gavin McInnes.”
When asked about her previous statement that feminism is “incompatible with Zionism,” Sarsour said: “I am not as important as I am made out to be. I am not the one that actually gets to say who gets to be in the movement and who doesn’t. Let’s stop talking about the civil rights movement that happened 50 years ago because there is a civil rights movement happening right now. We live under fascism, and we need all hands on deck.”
Typical avoidance. Notice how she doesn’t answer the question.

Some statisticians have a very keen grasp of the obvious, more muslims always equals more hate, if Jews are available, they will be the primary target. That is a statistical law.

‘Farrakhan’s bona fides as a purveyor of hate are well-documented. He
called Jews “bloodsuckers,” Judaism a “gutter religion” and referred to
Adolf Hitler as a “great man.” Farrakhan said, “The God who taught me
calls the white man the skunk of the planet earth.’

Why doesn’t someone off this poisonous bi-atch??..What an opportunist and liar she is.. In her beloved Palestine ( a made up country) she would be in the home, being bashed around by her husband, churning out a brat each year no allowed to speak in public definitely.. If she can’t see that she is better off in the West (which she bloody knows full well) but wants to promote Sharia and all that sh*t, then she is a HYPOCRITE.. She obviously believes, as most mussies do, that women don’t get to paradise very much, but by her promoting of jihad she just might squeeze in…

Is it not interesting that in two of your examples, it is an ethnic origin tied to America. People of different ethnicities can still be American. There are legal immigrants from Mexico who are against the lawlessness of the liberals and believe in the American values they adopted. They came to America, after all, for a better life than they had in Mexico. In the third case it is a seditious anti-American ideology coupled with America. Before I became a Christian, it never dawned on me to say “I’m a Buddhist-American or I’m an atheist-American or an agnostic-American or eventually a Christian-American. Being born and raised in the USA, I enjoy my ethnic origins, especially the cuisine, but I am proud to be an American and am glad I don’t live in the land of my ancestry. Even with all the “racism” I have experienced in the USA. But saying Muslim-American is similar to saying Communist-American. Islam is not a race. Islam is anti-American as is communism because these both hold anti-American values, values that conflict with American ideals. How can pro-sharia be pro-American when sharia believes itself to be superior to American values? Is that not why some Muslims want sharia? How can something that is supposed to be superior to what it supposedly supports be for something that is inferior? Oh yeah… taqiya… let’s not forget about that. Islam is seditious even when it looks peaceful. It is no accident that most Muslims want aspects of sharia enforced. Even if they don’t want full sharia implemented, the problems brought by Islam will not go away until everybody recognizes that the problem is Islam itself because it is not merely a religion. The majority of Islam is a political ideology, a doctrine that spends more time talking about what to do with the kuffar, the unbelievers, than their relationship with the Allah of Muhammad.

By Linda Sarsour being “part of a panel on anti-Semitism” do they mean “part of a panel for anti-Semitism”? “Part of a panel on how to be an anti-Semite?” Is she on the panel because she is a first hand authority on anti-Semitism because that is what she practices? How blind does one have to be to think that when she says she is “pro Jew” what she really means is she is pro the elimination for the Jews?

You, Linda Sasour are an instigator of hate. You need to go back to Palestine(?) or start making a positive impact to society. You people can’t do that because you have not created anything to help humanity. Nothing but hate not love is your heads and hearts. I wish for the day you meet your maker so we all can live in peace for awhile. Your nothing but a dispicable waist of human skin. Good ridens you fat porker.

I watched the whole damn thing, https://www.facebook.com/jacobinmag/videos/1965805270112831/ So many falsehoods told, the worst, imo, was the complete lack of knowledge of the source of Islamic Jew hatred and the expulsion of ~850K Jews from Arab countries after 1948. Unlike the “Palestinians” those refugees were resettled. If there had been no endemic Jew hatred in their home countries why were they expelled? One of many questions which should have been asked the panel members, but of course was not.
There was also zero information provided by the panel about current anti-semitism in the US and UK and EU and who is perpetrating these acts. The entire talk was an exercise in justifying BDS and anti-Zionism is not anti-semitism and using largely incoherent Jews to market these ideas.
I wish Pamela and or Robert would confront and refute the crap being served at the New School.
