The Jewish lay leadership in the United States continue to appease and cower to the anti-Semitic and Israel-hating Left. As if appeasing the enemy will make American Jews safe, at a time of record breaking anti-Semitism. This is exactly what many Jewish leaders in pre-Holocaust Germany did. Look how that turned out.
New York Jewish Cultural Center to Host Imam With Anti-Israel Background
By Algemeiner, June 12, 2020
The prominent New York Jewish cultural center the 92nd Street Y, now known as 92Y, is scheduled to host a virtual event on June 18 featuring an imam who has defended the call for the State of Israel to be destroyed.
The event features Rabbi Peter Rubinstein of New York’s Central Synagogue, a Reform congregation, and Imam Al-Hajj Talib Abdur-Rashid of the Mosque of Islamic Brotherhood Inc., in New York. They plan to discuss how society can move forward amid the hardship of “recent events,” though the event description doesn’t specifically mention such events, including the death of George Floyd, 46, who died on May 25 in the custody of Minneapolis police.
Story continues below advertisementAbdur-Rashid visited the White House twice—in June and July 2010—during the Barack Obama administration, according to White House visitor logs. In 2006, he defended then-Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s call for Israel’s destruction.
While Abdur-Rashid acknowledged the Holocaust as “one of the great tragedies of humanity, along with slavery, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Bosnia and Rwanda,” he said that Ahmadinejad’s call for Israel’s annihilation echoed a “sentiment born of the legitimate anger, frustration and bitterness that is felt in many parts of the Muslim world.”
In 2005, he defended Rafiq Sabir, an American doctor who was convicted two years later for agreeing to be a medic for wounded Al-Qaeda members abroad. Sabir was sentenced to 25 years in prison.
“Dr. Sabir was well-known here in Harlem and known, really, as a humanitarian physician,” said Abdur-Rashid.
The imam has made other controversial remarks, including accusing Muslims of conspiring with law enforcement, such as the NYPD, and the American government of “the way that it does things and sets people up.”
The 92Y and Rubinstein did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

If the situation was inverted, and this Iman was a right wing pro-Trump conservative, the NY (mostly Jewish) Marxists and Leftists would be demanding that the 92Y cancel the event.
No matter how many anti-Israel Hamas-sympathizing Imans there are, it’s dwarfed by the number of secular Leftist self-hating Jews.
The Holocaust didn’t just happen. It took the tacit support and acquiescence of millions of useful idiots, including many Jews, Christians, Catholics, and Muslims.
Jews have a long history of being appeasers. Today they are acting like the NFL. If I were Jewish I would have converted to Christianity long ago. The most fundamental character trait of the appeaser is cowardice.
The Jewish TORAH and the Christian Old Testament show HISTORIES (not just stories) of courage, and integrity by the children of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob … against their enemies…
…
The Book of Judges … leaders defeating the enemies …
I wish Jews and Christians in 2020 would actually believe in the GOD we “say” we worship and obey.
To declare “belief” without obedience is called ……… practical atheism …….
Until the Jews never had a country. They lived as guests spread across the world. Since 1948 they have not been appeasers. The great appeasers are the European nations which after defeating the Muslims in Spain, then again at Vienna, Malta and Lepanto allowed the Ottoman Empire to ravage eastern Europe for centuries even to the extent of intervening in Russia’s war to retake Constantinople and throw the Muslims out of the area we now call the Ukraine and Crimea. We, the Europeans are the greatest appeasers. We could have annihilated this existential threat many times over and have failed repeatedly.
Jewicide and a fatal attraction to the left, brownshirts and hate filled imams. Nothing in it for us, nothing.
WORST MAYOR in New York city history.
is George sorass behind the muzlum and jew hate too!
mark johnson: No doubt about it. See below a picture on him in his SS uniform in his early days; he says that those days, when he was betraying all the Jews around him and getting them slaughtered, were the happiest days of his life.
Soros is proof positive of the saying, “Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely.”
I don’t think 15 year old kids were allowed to join the SS. Hitlerjugend sure, but not the SS. And who in their right mind would be joining the SS in 1945?
DHIMMIS … infidels to be subjugated … just accept jihadi conquest .. pay tribute and cower.
…
The world is divided into the House of Islam and the House of War, the Dar al-Islam and the Dar al-harb. The Dar al-Islam is all those lands in which a Muslim government rules and the Holy Law of Islam prevails. Non-Muslims may live there on Muslim sufferance.
The outside world, which has not yet been subjugated, is called the “House of War,” and strictly speaking a perpetual state of jihad, of holy war, is imposed by the law. The law also provided that the jihad might be interrupted by truces as and when appropriate. In fact, the periods of peace and war were not vastly different from those which existed between the Christian states of Europe for most of European history.
The law thus divides unbelievers theologically into those who have a book and profess what Islam recognizes as a divine religion and those who do not; politically into dhimmis, those who have accepted the supremacy of the Muslim state and the primacy of the Muslims, and harbis, the denizens of the Dar al-harb, the House of War, who remain outside the Islamic frontier, and with whom therefore there is in principle, a canonically obligatory perpetual state of war until the whole world is either converted or subjugated.
How could a muslum NOT be antisemitic? Their holey books are full of antisemitic vomit. Why would someone choose to belong to a death cult where antisemitism is a core value and whose holey pedophile prophet for profit slaughtered Jews en mass and tortured a Jewish man to find out where he had hidden his valuables?
I only read the title and thought that said more than enough but of course it isn’t.
Is it possible they have lived in the states so long or they are so old that they have forgotten what happened to their own families? Or could they have paid no attention? Or did they attend American schools after true history of what happened to their people during world war two?
I know the expression, “Keep your friends close and your enemies closer” but this really goes too far!
I don’t believe this! Am I going out of my Gentile cotton pickin’ mind???
Looks like he could be Samuel L. Jackson’s twin!
New York Jewish Cultural Center is suicidal.
we can also add to the list ADL, HIAS which even changed it’s name!, JUF and many more. Disgusting!
Wow. The lengths that self haters will go to prove their tolerance!
do you know why momadman and the jewish folks hate bacon? have you ever tried to grow swine in that climate?

It is so sad and infuriating to see a people that have suffered so much persecution over thousands of years to have become so devoid of any instinct for self preservation. Liberty and freedom from persecution must be fought for over and over every generation. When people no longer understand that, they are going to become slaves – if they don’t become dead. A lot of “Christians” in this country don’t fare any better in that regard.
At this stage Adolf Hitler could go and make a speech to these Arse holes and they’d applaud it.
What is the matter with them, letting this raghead creep even step and soil the floor of their cultural centre ??
Maybe they would even invite Adolf if he would be still alive.
Anyone who follows the koran will never accept you, the koran says, NO, to all infidels.
My 1st read and 1st Cup of Barf for today.
This seemingly schitzo position is largely due to lack! of sufficient Evil social/political motivation.
Christians_ buddhists_ hindus_ even jehovahs witness congregations are infected w this Schitzoid phenomenon.
Pretending to be Righteous
is a FATAL ERROR.

As a native of NY this does not surprise me. It is just another reason I stopped giving to Jewish organization or even attending synagogue. I even recently found out tree planting in Israel has been a scam in some parts. That planted trees to honor family members have been bulldozed to make way for housing. As I learned from observation and the tales my father told me. Jews are their own worst enemy and will seek praise from their enemies. Jews will back their enemies so they will think they get some kind of street cred.
My relatives rich and poorer come to America long before the holocaust in Europe. They knew not to count on fellow Jews and were well entrenched in America.
Inviting evil into your house does nit win you a prize, only your destruction. See as an example Moshe Dylan’s refusal to remove al aqsa mosque.
Liberal Jews are bad. NY liberal Jews are the worst.
Why is the United States currently engaged in an orgy of self-destruction?
My husband used to say that the best friends of Israel are the palestinians. Because after all the times foolish Israelis tried to give away their own patrimony, the palestinians always without failing,….. they never miss an opportunity to miss and opportunity. Now I must say that the worst enemies of Jews are Jews! What is this eagerness to die violently at the hands of these murderers?? Why don’t they invite the head of boko haram???

Thanks.
Such is precisely the kind and degree of insanity described by Uri Bezmenov in the video on YouTube entitled, Who Made the Useful Idiots of the Left? Watch it for a detailed explanation of why and how so many, including the Jews, are so eager and determined to destroy themselves in this manner.
Knowledge is power.
I guess the Jews at the New York Jewish Cultural Center have never read the Koran:
“Oh you who believe! (all Muslims). Take not the JEWS and Christians as Auliya (friends, protectors, helpers, etc.), (as) they are but Auliya to one another. And if any amongst you takes them as Auliya, then surely he is one of them” (Qur’an 5:51).
“Thou wilt find most vehement of mankind in hostility to those (Muslims) who believe (to be) the JEWS and the idolaters” (Quran 5:82).
“Surly the filthiest of animals in Allah’s sight are non-Muslims (infidels, idolaters, Christians, and JEWS). (Qur’an 8:55).
This is an embarrassment to every Thinking Jewish person, because the people allowing this to happen aren’t thinking.
Gee. Pam sure has her work cut out for her.
Unbelieveable to me any Jew would host any muslim.
These stupid liberal Jews are SCHMUCKS! They think by being nice to a Muslim, they might not want to kill them.
“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”
I honestly can’t imagine intelligent people not having better sense than this. But maybe it’s easier for us that are on the outside to see what the end results could end up being. God forbid…
