Again, those facts wouldn’t help Bernie fundraise, and so Bernie doesn’t care. But when the leader of the progressive movement in Congress is engaging in blatantly antisemitic rhetoric to try and get more wins, we should all care, and call it out because it is both dangerous and wrong.

THE DIVISIONIST DEMOCRAT PARTY AND BLACK ANTI-SEMITICISM…. BUT BLACKS HATE EVERYONE PERIOD.

Only a minority of black people are anti-Semites, but those that are, are not lone wolves. They are not inventing the wheel. Rather, they are steeped in a significant cultural trend, a trend that persons of conscience will name, confront, analyze, and denounce.

Whose future, indeed? If we are to repel Black Lives Matter’s full-on assault on our values, institutions, and character, it will only be if all American patriots summon the kind of courageous, truth-telling resistance David Horowitz displays in his indispensable book I Can’t Breathe to expose and condemn the corrosive racial hoaxes perpetrated by BLM and the Democrat Party.

Biden's new press secretary has a problem with Jews
By Edward Davis
Karine Jean-Pierre makes history this week as the first woman "of color" and the first open lesbian to become the official spokesperson for the leader of the free world.
Unfortunately, another characteristic that sets her apart from previous White House press secretaries is her malicious radical activism, which reached its low point when she made fictitious allegations against a moderate, bipartisan pro-Israel organization.
Dershowitz: Biden ‘Should Come Out as Strongly as Possible Against the Squad’s Bigotry, Anti-Semitism and Racism’
By Craig Bannister | May 19, 2022 | 3:32pm EDT
“A racist is a racist and a bigot is a bigot. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a bigot of the Left or a bigot of the Right,” iconic liberal Harvard Law Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz says, calling on President Joe Biden to do something that takes true courage: condemn the bigotry of the Left.
In his Tuesday podcast, The Dershow, the iconic liberal civil rights lawyer and Constitutional Scholar says that Pres. Biden did a very good thing by visiting Buffalo, New York, to speak after the recent mass shooting that took place there in a predominantly Black community.
But, that was the easy thing to do, Dershowitz says:
“It was too easy; it’s too easy. It’s too easy to go into a grieving community and to condemn the killer, to condemn the things that led him to kill, and to praise the victims. He should do it and he did it.
“It’s too easy. It’s too easy.”
Biden needs to take the next – and more difficult – step, by going to other cities and calling on Black leaders to denounce Black-on-Asian and Black-on-Jewish crime, Dershowitz says:
“Now, what he has to do – let some time pass, he doesn’t have to do it tomorrow – now, he has to go to Brooklyn and he has to go to Los Angeles.
“And he has to talk to Black community leaders and others in the Black community and say, ‘White supremacy is wrong; we all know that (clap, clap, clap, clap) but, African-Americans must stop – I’m talking about individuals, I’m not talking about any group – must stop attacking Asian-Americans, must stop attacking Jewish Americans.’ Today, there has been Black-on-Asian crime in Los Angeles and in New York and in other places, and Black-on-Jewish crime in Los Angeles and New York and other places.”
In particular, Biden should also call out radical Democrats in Congress, like those who call themselves “The Squad,” who represent “bigotry, anti-Semitism and racism,” Dershowitz says:
“For example, there’s now some kind of a law being proposed by the Squad in Congress, a group of bigoted anti-Semites running under the label of Democrats, that would, basically, attack the origins of Israel, saying that it’s the cause of the whole problem.
“President Biden has to attack that. That’s bigotry; that’s a blood libel.”
“So, I hope that the president, who has done the right thing, will continue to do the right thing and go to Brooklyn and go to Los Angeles and go to other communities where there has been Black-on-Asian and Black-on-Jewish crime and come out as strongly as possible against that, come out as strongly as possible against The Squad’s bigotry, anti-Semitism and racism.”
“Unless and until you do that, you’re just a selective condemner of bigotry and racism,” Dershowitz tells Biden.
It requires courage to publicly condemn racism from all sides, Dershowitz said:
“Now, that’s going to take courage, for the president of the United States to go to a community and look them in the eye and say, ‘You heard what I said in Buffalo, now I’m going to say it to you: White supremacy is poison, Black supremacy is poison. Black prejudice is poison. Any prejudice is poison. Stop it!’”
Biden should educate himself on the true nature of courage, by reading former Democrat President John F. Kennedy’s book, “Profiles in Courage,” Deshowitz says:
“Read ‘Profiles in Courage,’ by John F. Kennedy, and you’ll understand what it means to have courage.
“What it means is endangering your votes, endangering your base, endangering your future, doing the right thing because it’s the right thing – not because you can.”
Alice Walker Disinvited From Book Festival
Can you guess what the organizers discovered?
Thu Apr 7, 2022
Alice Walker, the author of The Color Purple, has been disinvited from a book festival when the organizers discovered her long history of antisemitic remarks about Jews and Israel, the Jewish state that she often compares to Nazi Germany. A report on the reasons for her being uninvited is here: “California Book Festival Rescinds Invitation to Author Alice Walker Over Past Antisemitic Comments,” by Shiryn Ghermezian, Algemeiner, March 29, 2022:
A book festival in California has disinvited Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist and poet Alice Walker from its event due to the author’s history of making antisemitic remarks about Jews and Israel, The Jewish News of Northern California reported on Friday.
Walker, 78, was scheduled to interview writer Honorée Fanonne Jeffers, at the latter’s request, at the headlining event of the annual Bay Area Book Festival, which will take place May 7-8 in downtown Berkeley and is set to feature over 250 authors. The festival is the main project of the Foundation for the Future of Literature and Literacy, a California non-profit organization.
Organizers cancelled Walker’s participation in the festival on Thursday after being informed about her past hateful comments, according to The Jewish News of Northern California. Jeffers subsequently pulled out of the festival in response, the festival’s publicist Julia Drake told the outlet.…
Walker, who was the first Black woman to win a Pulitzer Prize for fiction for “The Color Purple” in 1983, has repeatedly compared Israel to Nazi Germany and is an avid supporter of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement. In 2011, she claimed, “I think Israel is the greatest terrorist in that part of the world. And I think in general, the United States and Israel are great terrorist organizations themselves.” That same year she said Israel is “as frightening to many of us as Germany used to be.” Walker has also made antisemitic claims about Jews and Israel in her poetry.
Walker has been obsessed with Jews and Israel for years. She frequently compares Israel to Nazi Germany, and attacks the Talmud as an evil and racist document. In 2018, she promoted a book by British antisemite and conspiracy theorist David Icke, And the Truth Shall Set You Free, during an interview with The New York Times. In the book, Icke claims that Jews control the world and quotes frequently from the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Icke, whose work Alice Walker so admires, describes the Talmud as “among the most appallingly racist documents on the planet,” and claimed that Jewish organizations are secretly behind various racist groups, including the Ku Klux Klan.
Walker’s interview of the writer Honorée Fannone Jeffers was to have been the headline event at the Bay Area Book Festival. Jeffers, as the writer being honored in this fashion, had insisted that Walker be her interviewer. Jeffers must have known, when she chose her, Walker’s history of antisemitism, her repeated denunciations of Jews, Judaism, and Israel. She would have known Walker’s work, including the very long 2017 poem Walker wrote in which she called Israeli rule “demonic to the core,” and suggested that to understand “the inspiration for so much evil,” one must “study The Talmud” and “its poison.” Jeffers apparently was not bothered by any of this; she wanted Walker and no one else to interview her. And when Walker was disinvited because of her history of antisemitism Jeffers, in a sign of solidarity with Walker, refused to appear at the Book Festival.
Walker’s hatred of Israel is extraordinary. She told an Israeli publisher in 2012 that she does not allow The Color Purple to be translated into Hebrew because “Israel is guilty of apartheid and persecution of the Palestinian people, both inside Israel and also in the Occupied Territories.”
The organizers of the Bay Area Book Festival had apparently not known the extent of her demented antisemitism, when they chose her to interview Honorée Fannone Jeffers at the headline event, did not know the full extent of her hatred of Israel – “demonic to the core” — the Jewish state that she compares to Nazi Germany, nor her deep hatred of Judaism, and that Talmud whose “poison” she denounces. But when it was brought to their attention, the organizers of the Bay Area Book Festival did the right thing, and at once disinvited the disgraceful Alice Walker. It is heartening that there was no wobbling on the issue, once the evidence of her malignant obsession was presented, no attempt to explain away or hide her spittle-flecked hatred. She won’t be an honored guest; she won’t be anything at all, at the Bay Area Book Festival. That’s as it should be.
Shocking poll reveals Blacks see their White neighbors very negatively
The incessant media and progressive political campaign to claim that something called white supremacy is a major threat to Americans, especially African Americans, has been chillingly effective. A Washington Post-Ipsos poll reveals that three quarters of Blacks are worried that they or someone they love will be attacked by a white person. And nearly as many, 70 percent, believe that half or more of all White people “hold white supremacist beliefs.”
Here is a screengrab of the relevant questions on the poll:
Two-thirds of Black people believe that white supremacy is a bigger threat today than 5 years ago, and 73 percent believe “restrictions on voting rights” are a “major threat.”
My own perspective is that these views are wildly unrealistic, that white supremacy is a distinctly crackpot phenomenon limited to a tiny percentage of the populace. Crime statistics show that interracial crime is overwhelmingly comprised of Black attacks on Whites and Asians, as opposed to attacks on Blacks.
But these results are perhaps not sur[rising, considering how the media have persuaded large numbers of Blacks and Whites that huge numbers of unarmed Black people are killed by police every year when the actual number is under 20 usually.
Unsurprisingly, the people who natter on about “disinformation” have nothing to say about the ruinous effect of racial fear-mongering on the subject of purported widespread White racism.

Morally bankrupt Bernie Sanders fundraises with antisemitism
Bernie Sanders has spent the primary election season engaging in antisemitic dog whistles and endangering American Jews at a time when attacks on Jewish people are spiking across the country. It is unacceptable, and we must call him out for it.
Sanders has a long history of making incendiary, ill-informed comments about Israel, casually accusing the Jewish State of horrible crimes, and then attempting to walk back or tone down the worst of his lies when people take him seriously. It is a technique he has passed on to some of his most famous acolytes, the notoriously fact-flippant anti-Israel (and often antisemitic) Squad. He also proudly associates with rabid antisemites who call Zionists white nationalists, engage in Holocaust inversion, and accuse American Jews of dual loyalty.
But Sanders does not just hate Israel. Now, he is actively targeting mainstream American Jews, including members of the Democrat party, using vile antisemitic tropes. In speeches and in tweets Sanders has publicly attacked AIPAC, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, for the crime of participating in the political process by supporting candidates whose positions align with policies they endorse, and opposing candidates whose positions do not. Perhaps AIPAC has been successful because the vast majority of American voters agree with their stance; the most recent Gallup poll found that 71% of the public say they have a very favorable or mostly favorable view of Israel.
But Sanders does not believe in math, and so he has been telling tales of shadowy rich Jews who secretly pull strings to “buy elections and control this democracy” that could have come straight from the Protocols of the Elders of Zions. He does this amidst a historic rise in antisemitic attacks across the United States, and he does this knowing full well that his rhetoric directly furthers that violence. He should be utterly ashamed.
As if classic antisemitic stereotypes were not bad enough, Sanders also took the time to smear AIPAC and its supporters by calling them racist, sexist, and anti-progressive- despite their long demonstrable history of supporting women, people of color, and progressives. In fact, in the current Congress, AIPAC supports the majority of both the Black Caucus and the Hispanic Caucus, as well as 43 members of the Progressive Caucus. In this very election season, AIPAC supported, among others, Valerie Foushee, a progressive woman of color who won her State Senate race in North Carolina, and Shontel Brown, a progressive woman of color (and Progressive Caucus member) representing Ohio’s 11th district. But of course, none of these facts matter to Sanders because they do not help further his despicable narrative. And judging by the hundreds of openly antisemitic comments supporting his tweets, none of them will matter to his audience either as they eagerly accept the cover he provides them to express their vile hate.
For the record, supporting Israel is not just a Jewish issue, nor does it require dual loyalty. Americans support Israel for a number of reasons, including but not limited to our values. For example, our shared security interests include but are not limited to preventing nuclear proliferation, combating terrorism, containing Iranian, Turkish, and Russian expansionism, and promoting the rule of democracy. Israeli-developed technology protects our citizens and troops at home and abroad. Israel is our closest ally in the Middle East and our only reliable source of intelligence and cyber defense. All of these things make support for Israel crucial to American interests. In addition, Israel is our 23rd largest trading partner, and Israeli inventions power our laptops, devices, and medical equipment. Regardless, no matter why some Americans choose to support Israel, Sanders has no right to engage in antisemitism.
It is also quite rich to hear these speeches about from a man who is fine hosting strategy calls with an Iranian-American advocacy group whose political action committee lobbies on behalf of the murderous (and antisemitic) Iranian regime- just one day after Iran launched a ballistic missile attack at US. Army personnel in Iraq. And of course, there are numerous Super PACS that support people Sanders likes, but he does not single any of those out for critique.
Finally, Sanders’s blind support for the “Palestinian cause” is not actually progressive, either. The Palestinians do not have freedom of speech, press, or religion. Their leaders arrest and sometimes kill gays, women are subject to abuse and honor killings, and the Palestinian Authority literally pays its civilians to murder innocent Israelis and Americans. Israel is a functioning democracy with the same kinds of problems that every functioning democracy has, but any objective person lining up the two would have to admit that Israel is far more progressive than the Palestinians.
Again, those facts wouldn’t help Bernie fundraise, and so Bernie doesn’t care. But when the leader of the progressive movement in Congress is engaging in blatantly antisemitic rhetoric to try and get more wins, we should all care, and call it out because it is both dangerous and wrong.

Islamic Society of North America Called Out for Fomenting Violence Against Jews
One of the nation’s foremost Islamic organizations is encouraging Jew-hate.
The Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) is one of the largest and most respected Muslim organizations on the continent. Politicians routinely fawn all over it. But it is also easily one of the most sinister Islamic organizations in the West ISNA manifested its truly evil agenda once again recently, when it issued a statement denouncing “Israeli violence against Palestinian worshipers” without, not surprisingly, bothering to notice that those “worshipers” were actually Islamic jihadis who were stockpiling stones and other material to use as weapons in attacks against Israeli civilians.
On May 5, one group finally called out ISNA, which continues to enjoy mainstream acceptance and wield considerable influence in the corridors of power in Washington. The Coalition for Jewish Values (CJV), which represents “over 2000 traditional, Orthodox rabbis in matters of American public policy,” called on ISNA to “retract its statement issued April 16 entitled, ‘ISNA Condemns Israeli Violence Against Palestinian Worshipers.’ CJV pointed to numerous factual errors in the statement which, taken together, could easily be characterized as promoting a false narrative, encouraging antisemitism and even fomenting violence.”
ISNA’s encouragement of antisemitism and fomenting of violence was no surprise. According to
Discover the Networks, “ISNA leaders view Islam as being superior to all other faiths and destined to replace them. Taha J. Alwani, a leading official of the Fiqh Council of North America, which is run under ISNA, writes: ‘In considering the earth as an arena for Islam, Allah has promised its inheritance to His righteous people, and He has promised that Islam will prevail over other religions.’…In July 2008, ISNA’s lawyers conceded that their organization, through its affiliate NAIT, had given financial support to Hamas leader Mousa Abu Marzook. Their defense was that documentary evidence of those ties dated back to the late 1980s and early 1990s, before the U.S. government had officially designated Hamas as a terrorist organization.”
CJV President Rabbi Pesach Lerner declared that ISNA’s " statement makes outlandish claims that invert those who came to cause violence with those who responded to quell it. As written, it appears to demonize Israeli police for stopping a violent riot. The police foiled attempts to murder Jewish worshipers at the Western Wall, and restored calm so that peaceful Islamic prayers could occur at the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Both Muslims and Jews should commend Israeli police for preventing an intended massacre and permitting the faithful of both religions to worship safely."
CJV added in a press release that “the ISNA statement erroneously claims that ‘Israeli forces stormed the Al-Aqsa mosque,’ with ‘unprovoked and violent Israeli attacks’ on ‘Palestinian worshippers.’ In reality, both Arab scholars and Israeli commentators have pointed to the desecration of the mosque by rioters that occurred in the morning, prior to prayers, as was documented on camera. The Israeli police enabled prayers to take place by stopping the riot.”
ISNA, however, is never going to admit that the Israeli police acted properly; to do so would be tantamount to rejecting the words of the Qur’an itself. The Jews in the Qur’an are called the strongest of all people in enmity toward the Muslims (5:82); they fabricate things and falsely ascribe them to Allah (2:79; 3:75, 3:181); they claim that Allah’s power is limited (5:64); they love to listen to lies (5:41); they disobey Allah and never observe his commands (5:13). They are disputing and quarreling (2:247); hiding the truth and misleading people (3:78); staging rebellion against the prophets and rejecting their guidance (2:55); being hypocritical (2:14, 2:44); giving preference to their own interests over the teachings of Muhammad (2:87); wishing evil for people and trying to mislead them (2:109); feeling pain when others are happy or fortunate (3:120); being arrogant about their being Allah’s beloved people (5:18); devouring people’s wealth by subterfuge (4:161); slandering the true religion and being cursed by Allah (4:46); killing the prophets (2:61); being merciless and heartless (2:74); never keeping their promises or fulfilling their words (2:100); being unrestrained in committing sins (5:79); being cowardly (59:13-14); being miserly (4:53); being transformed into apes and pigs for breaking the Sabbath (2:63-65; 5:59-60; 7:166); and more. They are under Allah’s curse (9:30), and Muslims should wage war against them and subjugate them under Islamic hegemony (9:29).
This situates antisemitism as a divine imperative, a matter of being faithful to the core teachings of the Qur’an. CJV Southern Regional Vice President Rabbi Moshe B. Parnes was likely unaware of these passages of the Qur’an when he stated: "Islam is an Abrahamic faith with hundreds of millions of peaceful adherents. Few things could sully the reputation of Islam in America more than a statement condemning efforts to prevent bloodshed, under the imprimatur of an American organization with Islam in its name. It is for this reason that we urge ISNA to repudiate this statement before it can do further damage."
It's a revealing contrast: Rabbi Parnes is worried about the reputation of Islam in America, while ISNA is intent on sullying the reputation of Israel worldwide, on false pretenses. That sums up the two sides of the conflict in a nutshell.

The Blatant Hypocrisy of Islamic Apologias
Straining at gnats while swallowing camels.
Raymond Ibrahim is a Shillman Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center
An Arabic-language video of a Muslim cleric addressing how terrorists “misuse” Islamic scriptures to justifying killing non-Muslims is an ideal example of the hypocrisy of Muslim apologias.
During his sermon, Sheikh Samir Hashish—who was addressing the bombings of Coptic churches in Egypt, which have left hundreds dead over the years—said that those Muslims who attack churches and kill infidels often cite a sahih hadith (a statement attributed to Muhammad and deemed authentic), where the prophet said, “A Muslim must not be killed on account of a kafir [a non-Muslim, or infidel].” After saying that the hadith does not justify the outright slaughter of non-Muslims, Hashish elaborated:
The hadith itself is of course authentic… However, the hadith does not mean that whoever, without cause, kills any of the People of the Book [Christians and Jews] has done rightly. Not at all—the hadith did not say this; it did not say those who do this are right. The hadith simply excludes the death penalty from among the possible punishments. In other words, the Muslim who kills a non-Muslim without cause—is he wrong or not? He’s wrong. Is he to be penalized or not? He is to be penalized—but without the death penalty. Let him be judged any which way, but do not kill him. Why? Because of what the hadith says. The prophet said, “a Muslim must not be killed on account of a kafir [infidel].” Why? Because their blood is not equal. The blood of the Muslim is superior. Call it racism or whatever you want, but of course the blood of the Muslim is superior. This is not open to debate. [Translation my own.]
What is notable is that, while the sheikh claims that radicals are twisting the hadith to say something it is not—that any Muslim who kills any infidel is exempt from any punishment—what the hadith is really saying—that the life of a Muslim is more precious than the life of a non-Muslim—is little better and possibly worse.
Nitpicking over details while ignoring the root problem—that is, “straining at gnats while swallowing camels,” to quote Christ (Matt. 23:24)—is increasingly how leading Muslim clerics disassociate Islam from the violence and intolerance performed in its name.
Consider for example how another learned Muslim scholar sought to put a gloss on the enslavement and rape of non-Muslim women. While discussing Koran 4:3, which refers to infidel prisoners of war as “possessions,” Suad Saleh, a female professor of Islamic doctrine at Al Azhar university in Egypt, correctly explained that “female prisoners of wars are ‘those whom you own.’ In order to humiliate them, they become the property of the army commander, or of a Muslim, and he can have sex with them just like he has sex with his wives.”
But then the Al Azhar professor proceeded to speak as if the real problem is not Islam’s institutionalization of sex slavery but rather how some Muslims misuse it to the detriment of Islam’s image. She said:
Some [Muslim] opportunists and extremists, who only harm Islam, say: “I will bring a woman from East Asia, [as a sex slave] under the status of ‘right hand possessions.’ And with the consent of my wife, I will allocate this woman a room in the house, and will have sex with her as a slave girl.” This is nonsense. This is not prescribed by Islam at all. Islam says that a woman is either a wife or a slave girl. Legitimately-owned slaves come from among prisoners of war.
What Egypt’s Professor Saleh, Sheikh Hashih, and many other scholars apparently fail to understand is that inherently unjust laws—ones that permit the sexual enslavement of women because they are non-Muslims or that operate on the assumption that the value of human lives is based on their Muslim or non-Muslim status—will always be “abused.”
For instance, Koran 2:256 says there is no coercion in Islam. Yet, because other Koran verses call on Muslims to hate (60:4; 3:28) and war on Christians and Jews (9:29), it is only natural that, past and present, forced conversions have been common. After all, pressuring hell-bound infidels to embrace Islam can be rationalized as an altruistic act. Moreover, it helps empower Islam, which is always a good thing. As one human rights report explained while discussing the rampant sexual abuse and forced conversion of Christian girls in Pakistan:
The dark side of the forced conversion to Islam is not restricted only to the religious Muslim groups but also involves the criminal elements who are engaged in rape and abduction and then justify their heinous crimes by forcing the victims to convert to Islam. The Muslim fundamentalists are happy to offer these criminals shelter and use the excuse that they are providing a great service to their sacred cause of increasing the population of Muslims (emphasis added).
Similarly, Koran 9:29 says that war on People of the Book can only end when the latter agree to pay tribute (jizya) to their Muslim overlords. And pay they did, for well over a millennium, until the practice was formally abolished thanks to European pressure during the colonial era. Apologists say that Koran 9:29 means that Christians and Jews must pay jizya to representatives of the Islamic state, not just any Muslim. Today, however, criminals from Muslim backgrounds who are acquainted with the basics of 9:29—that infidels are to be warred on until they pay up—see Christian and other minorities in their midst as piggy banks: they are free game for robbing, plundering, and kidnapping for ransom—sometimes even being killed after ransom is paid—as Egypt’s Coptic Christians can attest.
As one Muslim cleric and welfare recipient in the UK who referred to British taxpayers as “slaves” once explained:
We take the jizya, which is our haq [Arabic for “due” or “right”], anyway. The normal situation by the way is to take money from the kafir [infidel], isn’t it? So this is the normal situation. They give us the money—you work, give us the money, Allahu Akbar. We take the money.
In short, the problem is less that some Muslims mistakenly believe that they deserve no punishment whenever they kill “inferior” infidels—but rather that Islamic scriptures teach that Muslim blood is “superior” to non-Muslim blood in the first place; the problem is less that some Muslims are not strictly following Islam’s rules concerning the sexual enslavement of infidel women—but rather that the Koran allows non-Muslim women to be enslaved in the first place; the problem is less that some Muslims are ignoring the Koran’s mandate that there be no compulsion in religion—but rather that it calls for enmity and war on non-Muslims in the first place; the problem is less that some Muslims are not strictly following Islam’s rules concerning who has the right to collect jizya from infidels—but rather that it allows the fiscal extortion of non-Muslims in the first place.
It is no solace to learn that Islamic scriptures are being misinterpreted to promote this injustice, when their true interpretation actually permits that injustice.
