Leftist Anti-Semitism

Just in case you didn’t see the root cause of American anti-Semitism, Louis Farrakhan stepped forth in Iran yesterday to denounce America and to spew his normal quota of Jew hatred. As noted by many, the fact that Farrakhan is a respected member of the American black community, appearing on stage with Bill Clinton, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson… means that said community countenances anti-Semitism.

It does not quite fit the Trump-is-Hitler narrative, so the mainstream media ignores the story. Not so, the Algemeiner, which reports on Farrakhan’s recent trip to Tehran. You will recall Barack Obama’s strenuous efforts to save the Iranian regime. You will recall his appeasement policy toward Iran. You will also recall that Farrakhan is bosom buddies with Obama’s mentor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

What was Farrakhan doing in Tehran, but supporting Obama’s Iran nuclear deal. Does that make you feel better about the JCPOA?

The Algemeiner reports:

Nation of Islam leader and prominent antisemite Louis Farrakhan chanted “Death to America” and claimed that “America has never been a democracy” on Sunday during a solidarity trip to Iran, ahead of the re-implementation of US sanctions on the country this week.

He also blasted American support for Saudi Arabia, Iran’s arch-rival in the region, and added, “Satan seeks to divide Muslims and wants them to kill each other, while God tells us in the Quran to be united.”

As is normal for him, Farrakhan laid his message of anti-Semitism and misogyny on the receptive audience:

According to the Farsi language Islamic Republic of Iran News Network (IRINN), he also spoke to students at the University of Tehran law school and fulminated against Israel, praised women’s rights in Iran and the Islamic laws demanding they cover themselves. He claimed, “America has never been a democracy and has always leaned towards the wealthy and powerful class.”

At the end of his talk, Farrakhan chanted the common Iranian slogan “Death to America,” and was joined by members of the audience.

“Death to America”... is sounds like a Jeremiah Wright message. Let's not call it patriotism.

If you, perchance, wish to support this bigotry, you can do so by joining the Women’s March, led by prominent Farrakhan supporters Tamika Mallory and Linda Sarsour:

Several prominent American activists and politicians have been linked to Farrakhan in recent years. Tamika Mallory, a leader of the Women’s March, praised him as “GOAT” or “Greatest of All Time.” Linda Sarsour, another leader of the March, attended an event with Farrakhan and has repeatedly refused to condemn him.

Or you can vote for Rep. Danny Davis tomorrow:

Illinois Democratic Representative Danny K. Davis said of Farrakhan, “I don’t regard Louis Farrakhan as an aberration or anything, I regard him as an outstanding human being who commands a following of individuals who are learned and articulate and he plays a big role in the lives of thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of people.”

And let’s not forget, that Barack Obama was happy to be photographed meeting with Farrakhan in 2005.

Recently, a photograph surfaced of former President Barack Obama meeting with Farrakhan in 2005 while he was a senator.
