Jewish Leaders Join in Slamming Twitter’s Hypocrisy

No violation, says Twitter.

I have been shadow banned and many of my followers banned for being conservative, but this vile Jew-hater is sanctioned and normed.

Jewish Leaders Join With MRC’s Bozell in Slamming Twitter’s Hypocrisy

On the 23rd anniversary of the Million Man March, organizer Louis Farrakhan was in Detroit, Michigan delivering yet another vile speech. A video he posted online showed him standing at the pulpit receiving applause and laughter while he compared Jewish people to “termites” and called Jews “stupid.”

The video was shared on Facebook and on Twitter, with Facebook eventually removing the video from Farrakhan’s page because it amounted to “Tier 1 hate speech” according to one Facebook representative.

In contrast, Twitter’s “hateful conduct policy” proved to be meaningless. Twitter assessed whether anti-Semitic language was reason enough to suspend Louis Farrakhan’s account. The video of Farrakhan was shared on Twitter with the caption “I’m not an anti-Semite. I’m anti-Termite.”

Twitter has repeatedly claimed to promote “healthy conversation” and remove “dehumanizing language.” But when questioned about the Farrakhan video, Twitter spokesperson stated that the “policy on dehumanizing language has not yet been implemented.” Even if this reason were a logical defense to allow “dehumanizing language,” why has Twitter been so quick to suspend or remove even less controversial tweets coming from conservatives?

In response to Farrakhan’s language and Twitter’s susequent failure to act appropriately, we have rounded up statements from Jewish leaders and influential conservatives and included them below.

“Louis Farrakhan has always been beneath contempt as regards his appallingly racist view of the Jewish people. He deserves no seat in civilized society. While open debate on issues is the hallmark of American freedom and liberty,  ill-bred narrow-mindedness has no place in any discussion. Twitter should be ashamed of itself for hiding behind the fence of “the new rules weren’t in place yet” justify its failure to recognize and remove this bigoted cockalorum from its site.”
— Matthew Brooks, Executive Director, Republican Jewish Coalition

“Jews, along with all Americans, are best served by constitutional fealty and it is the First Amendment to the Constitution that happily makes America one of the few nations not to criminalize what is called “hate-speech.”  The reason I say “happily” is because we Jews would rapidly become hate-speech legislation’s first victims, as teaching certain Biblical chapters is made illegal.

In America,  Louis Farrakhan may freely utter his opinions about Jews, and being a private sector company, Twitter may freely choose to publish those opinions.  But Twitter betrays its moral mendacity by providing Farrakhan with a megaphone while banning many voices like the Christian blogger,  Elizabeth Johnston, for opposing the sexualization of young children by Teen Vogue magazine.  Americans would be better served by a Twitter that practiced no censorship at all.  And Twitter would be better off too.”
–Rabbi Daniel Lapin, American Alliance of Jews and Christians

“Poison gas is how you usually deal with termites, suggesting Farrakhan is endorsing another Holocaust for Jews. What is even more shocking is that the political establishment seems just fine with it all. Farrakhan must be repudiated.  Those in public life who don’t do that make themselves complicit in his hate-mongering and must be repudiated, too.”
— Frank Gaffney, President, Center for Security Policy

“Farrakhan gleefully echoes Nazi language, which routinely dehumanized Jews. The fact that he stood with Bill Clinton at Aretha Franklin’s funeral is an indication of how normalized Jew-hatred has become, thanks to the left and its embrace of the Palestinian jihad against Israel.
And while Twitter bans conservatives for innocuous remarks or for no reason at all, Farrakhan’s account remains – once again showing that on the left, Jew-hatred is the new normal.”
— Pamela Geller, Co-founder, Freedom Defense Initiative

“Farrakhan is feeling more empowered today to express his hatred of Jews than he has for many years. And this makes sense. His star has definitely risen of late. Women’s March leaders Linda Sarsour and Tamika Mallory sing his praises. Former president Bill Clinton sat next to him at Aretha Franklin’s funeral. And the Democrats elected three Congressional candidates in their primaries who seek to end the US alliance with Israel.

Farrakhan made his Nazi-like attack on Jews this week because he figures he will get away with it. Twitter’s refusal to block him from the platform forever is simply further evidence that the Democrats and their radical supporters are now more comfortable with anti-Jewish racists than any party in the US has ever been.

It can only be hoped that Farrakhan’s statement will be a wake up call for responsible Democrats to put their partisan house in order. But given the silence of leaders like Senators Schumer, Gillibrand, Booker, Sanders, Feinstein and Warren, not to mention the likes of Al Sharpton, it is hard to imagine that happening any time soon.”
— Caroline Glick, Columnist, Jerusalem Post

It’s interesting to note that many, especially muslims enjoy mein kampt (interpreted by muslims as my jihad) is selling like hot cakes in many area of the world, especially in muslim countries and in the EU. islam, the enemy of mankind..

Just recently Twitter backed down and unlocked LifeSiteNews’ Twitter account, less than 24 hours after claiming a factual analysis of homosexual health data was “hateful conduct.” Their decision to unlock our account comes after more than 7,500 LifeSite supporters signed a petition demanding our account be restored along with massive backlash online.

LifeSite was locked for reporting on TRUTH about homosexual males and STD’S!
Truth is “hate”.

Louis Farrakhan has a history of anti semetic comments. Here are just a FEW:

“Satanic Jews have infected the whole world with poison and deceit.”
Sermon, 5/27/18

“The Jews have control over those agencies of government. When you want something in this world, the Jew holds the door.”
Saviour’s Day Speech, 2/25/18

“Powerful Jews are my enemy.”
Saviour’s Day Speech, 2/25/18

“Jews were responsible for all of this filth and degenerate behavior that Hollywood is putting out, turning men into women and women into men…. White folks are going down. And Satan is going down. And Farrakhan, by God’s grace, has pulled a cover off of that Satanic Jew, and I’m here to say your time is up, your world is through. You good Jews better separate because the satanic ones will take you to hell with them because that’s where they are headed.”
Saviour’s Day Speech, 2/25/18

“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

Some of his comments don’t make any distinction amongst Jews, but his comment ” You good Jews better separate because the satanic ones ( Jews ) will take you to hell with them…”, seems to do just that. I don’t know enough about him to comment honestly, although I have a very negative opinion of him for some of his other more hateful rhetoric and that he is a muslim. The fact that there are some good Jews and some bad Jews, should surprise no one. There is good and bad in every demographic and has been so from time immemorial , some however, more wicked than others ( ie. devout muslims, Nazis ).
When Jesus walked the earth, he encountered the same good and bad. His apostles were all Jews and He loved the people as He ministered to them daily, but certain Jews hated Him and conspired with the Romans to do away with Him.
Nothing has changed, but to disparage an entire race is not only wrong, it is ignorant as well. That there are some Jews involved in some wicked things today should again surprise no one, just as there are wicked blacks, whites, wicked Europeans, Americans, and just as there are the opposites of every one of those same groups. The danger is mixing hate with that ignorance and then true racism is born.
I don’t know if the hate preachers within islam realize that their ” Jewish solution ” could just as easily be turned about on them and become the ” muslim solution “. They perpetuate hate and violence and complete intolerance. Such ignorance always carries a heavy price and eventually the day of reckoning comes.
I don’t know if Farrakhan truly believes in ” good Jews “, if he does then his other comments don’t reflect that and shame on him for not making that distinction. He can disagree with Israel and not foster racism. He can call out wickedness and not be racist, but his failure to do so puts him in with every other hater time has ever produced and it betrays anything he has to say or offer.

Another chance for the ADL to show that it is not Anti(Jewish) Defamation League but OK to Defame Jews League.

Sure it made an anodyne statement on this issue.

BUT……..ADL will NEVER tell Obama, Hillary and Bill Clinton to disavow Farrakhan. Remember the photo of Obama yukking it up with Farrakhan when Obama was a Senator. Remember Obama and Bill Clinton with Farrakhan at Aretha Franklin’s funeral. Hillary was the 2018 Democratic Party standard bearer. ADL should be demanding that all three of these Democratic Party leaders say they are wiping their hands of Farrakhan. If Farrakhan was a minister or a priest, ADL would not stop pounding the desk until the three Democratic Party leaders did the right thin.

ALSO:

Farrakhan has a Democratic Congressional fan club consisting of eight Congressional Democrats. ADL will NEVER demand that they too disavow Farrakhan.

https://pjmedia.com/trending/gop-resolution-pressures-dems-denounce-anti-semitic-nation-islam-leader-louis-farrakhan/

3-14-18 The Eight Farrakhan Adoring Congressional Democrats:

Team Farrakhan in US Congress are all Democrats. Those members are Reps Keith Ellison (D-MN), Maxine Waters (D-CA), Danny
Davis (D-Il), Al Green (D-TX), Barbara Lee (D-CA), Andre Carson (D-IN),
Gregory Meeks (D-NY), and James E. (Jim) Clyburn (D-SC).

Why won’t ADL do what it should do given its name? Because today ADL is nothing but a front for the very Lefty Democratic Party. ADL is committing a fraud on every one of its members by pretending to be what it is not.

The people of the world have many different personal values, but I do find it a strange situation when a man who has spent his entire life parading and standing on his “blackness” and “victim status” engages on a campaign of hate and vitriol against an entire group who have been victims far longer than people like him, is referred to without a trace of a blush as an “Honorable Minister”.

Other victims, the best of them usually, try to excel in decency and material progress for the betterment of all.

Like everyone, Farrakhan had two choices when he started his journey, he could have preached forgiveness, understanding and love but he found all that too hard. The rest we know.

MLK was rightly judged as an exceptional and moral man who as far as I can recall tried to see the best in everyone, if he found it impossible to speak of Jewish or white people in the way Farrakhan does might this show us the real extent of racist hate burning inside this “Minister” Farrakhan ?

He is an example all right, but not one it would be wise to follow if internal peace and fulfillment is what you seek as your personal memorial.

He is stupid on both counts Jews are patently not stupid as their record in the arts, sciences etc. show. Look at the list of Nobels for example. What has Farrakhan ever achieved? The Jews are also a minority among the nations so not as numerous as termites either. In fact the Jews’ contribution to humanity far exceeds their numbers. I am not Jewish BTW

A lot of my fellow Jews can be dumb as hell…why do they overlook the association of Obama with Farrakhan? How about the long-suppressed picture of the two of them at a Congressional Black Caucus meeting ..the picture was suppressed by Obama sympathizers from before Obama’s election until it was released only a few months ago. Those in possession of the picture acknowledged that if the picture had been released earlier, Obama might not have been elected.

The survey released just recently about Jewish-American political attitudes revealed an inexplicable adoration by many American Jews of Obama, the anti-Semite.

Leave the tweet up and find a way to make every American Jew aware of the Obama-Farrakhan connection. Maybe it will knock some common sense into their heads.

Yes it is the responsibility of Demokkkrats to condemn Farrakhan. Aside from all the chummy Demokkkrats who have saddled up to Farrakhan – including Bam Bam, Water, and Ellison –

It is routine practice for the hate-mongering Demokkkrats to DEMAND that Republicans and conservatives take responsibility for nasty people on their side – and often “side” – and condemn it.

If you demand that Side A condemn bad apples among their number – it is entirely fair for Side A to make the same demands of your side.

The Muslims number 1.4 Billion (with a very big “B”)… or 117 times the number of Jews! Based upon this 117:1 Muslim-to-Jewish ratio, one might expect the Muslims to have 22,464 Nobel Laureates.

They have TEN! and one of them [Arafat] is a murderer (Allahu Akbar, indeed!)
