Stop Antisemitism

[Rigby5]

An antisemitic incident occurred Saturday night at a girls high school basketball game between the Shalhevet Firehawks and the Buena Park Coyotes, according to several Shalhevet students who were in attendance.

“The scores were really neck and neck and it was just overall a very intense game,” a Shalhevet student, who preferred to remain anonymous, told the Journal. “My friend was standing across the gym by the other team when she texted me and told me they were chanting Kanye West at her the entire game. They were shouting at her and yelling that they were going to fight after the game.”

The student added, “There was one mom from the other side who was standing with a group of students screaming, ‘where is the security guard’? When she found him she went up to him and accused him of pushing her daughter.”

Another Shalhevet student, who also asked to remain anonymous, said that some Buena Park students pulled the Palestinian flag up on their cell phones and held it in the faces of Shalhevet students.

“I started to feel really unsafe,” the first student said. “The game got very hectic. When our girls were shooting foul shots, some Buena Park students held up pictures of Swastikas on their phones to distract them.”

But it is all 2nd hand, and not reported in any media other than the Jewish Journal. That is suspicious,

How can anyone claim that Israel is NOT apartheid when the Zionists chased over half a million Palestinians from the homes in 1948, and has still never allowed them to return?
That is illegal, and violates international law.
No one else would ever get away with such gross criminal acts.
Israel is obviously just a US colonialism ploy, to prevent Arab nationalism.

UK-based Al Araby has an article titled, "Purim: A myth in the service of politics."

It is written by Ahmed el-Gendy, a professor of Jewish and Zionist studies at Cairo University.

The article argues that the story of Purim is a myth and it is not even a religious holiday for Jews, but merely a political story of fictional antisemitism and of Jewish supremacy.

As evidence, the author points to the website of the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, possibly this one, which refers to Haman as antisemitic.

Since the term "antisemitism" had not been coined until the 19th century, al-Gendy opines, it is false to refer to a man who wanted to destroy the Jews of Persia as an antisemite.

He quotes the MFA site as saying, " "Over the years, Purim, which commemorates the salvation of the Jews and the thwarting of Haman's extermination plot, became a symbol of the Jewish people's victory over the rule of antisemitic tyranny."

He therefore concludes that "The whole story of Purim, it seems, exists in order to notify the Jews everywhere that they are in imminent and permanent danger, with no crime they commit except for their being different."

Moreover, "their liberation from this danger (comes from resorting to) trickery, cunning and deceit, then taking revenge on their enemies and their descendants. Their enemies (must be punished,) even if they are innocent, if they are in a position of strength."

In short, Purim isn't the story of the miraculous salvation of Jews from their enemies, but an expression of how Jews use deceit and cunning to destroy their innocent enemies.

If anyone is politicizing the holiday, I think it is this Cairo University professor!

Arab site: Purim is a political holiday meant to show Jewish supremacism

The Adelaide Writers’ Festival is facing an exodus of sponsors over its decision to host two authors with long histories of racist and anti-semitic and pro-Putin comments.
In a breaking news announcement on her Thursday evening show, Sky News host Sharri Markson reported that the Adelaide Advertiser would be reviewing their sponsorship of the festival.

“All aspects of the Advertiser's relationship with the Adelaide festival are under review. The advertiser has publicly called for writers week director Louise Adler to resign. The views of the two writers in question are repugnant,” Adelaide Advertiser editor Gemma Jones said in a statement read out by Markson.

The decision of the Adelaide newspaper follows law firm Minter Ellison’s decision to withdraw its sponsorship over concerns about “the potential for racist or anti-semitic commentary,” while Tech Company Capgemini has announced it would not be renewing its sponsorship next year.

Premier Peter Malinauskas has also announced he would be boycotting the event, and on Wednesday three Ukrainian authors who were set to take part in the writers’ festival all pulled out.

The Adelaide Writers' Festival is under fire for inviting Susan Abulhawa and Mohammed El-Kurd, both of whom have a history of anti-semitic statements. Picture: Sky News Australia
At the heart of the controversy is the participation of two Palestinian authors, Susan Abulhawa and Mohammed El-Kurd, both of whom have made statements that can only be described as atrocious.

Among the anti-semitic tweets from Ms Abulhawa are calls to “Dismantle Israel, a colonial nation of degenerates”, descriptions of the Jewish state as “an abomination” and “worse than Nazis”, and her saying that she took comfort knowing Israel would “eventually be dismantled, and wiped off the map."

The Palestinian-American has also repeated pro-Putin propaganda about Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky, calling him a "nazi-promoting Zionist" and accusing him of dragging "the whole world into the inferno of WWIII".

For his part, Mr El-Kurd has described Israel as a "terrorist, genocidal nation" and said Netanyahu and Israelis are "thirsty for Palestinian blood".

A trio of Ukrainian authors has withdrawn from an Australian book festival over its platforming of a Palestinian writer who referred to Ukraine's Jewish President Volodymyr Zelensky as a "Nazi-promoting Zionist”.

Adelaide Writers' Week director, Louise Adler, said Kateryna Babkina and Olesya Khromeychuk, who had been set to address an event on the impact of Russia's invasion of Ukraine on civilians, would no longer be on the panel.

She explained that the pair’s decision had been caused by the remarks of another speaker, Palestinian-American author Susan Abulhawa, who referred to President Volodymyr Zelensky as a "Nazi-promoting Zionist" on Twitter.

(Twitter)
She also claimed the Ukrainian leader had dragged "the whole world into the inferno of WWIII".

South Australian politician John Gardner of the centre-right Liberal Party urged the removal of Ms Abulhawa from the event.

Ms Adler, who is Jewish, refused such action, stating that she was disappointed by Ms Babkina's and Ms Khromeychuk's decision to step down from the conference, but stressed that she “respected” them.

"I'm disappointed those two Ukrainian writers have decided to withdraw because they object to the Twitter feed of one other writer," Ms Adler explained to ABC Radio Adelaide on Wednesday.

"We talk a lot about safe spaces and I think we'd be better off talking about brave spaces and courageous spaces in which we are respectful in our dialogue with one another but that we can actually tolerate ideas that we disagree with.

"Writers festivals are places for us to gather together to share ideas and discuss ideas that might be upsetting, might be provocative, might be disturbing, but in the context of civil and respectful debate, so I'm really sorry they're not going to be here because I think their voices would have been a valuable contribution,” she went on.

Masked protestors disrupted a Tufts University event on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict on Tuesday and called one of the panelists a “sl*t,” The Tufts Daily, a campus newspaper, reported on Wednesday.

The verbally assailed panelist, Khalil Sayegh, who is Palestinian, was invited to campus alongside Israeli citizen Sarah Mandel by Tufts Friends of Israel and Tufts J-Street U. Both are members of “Roots,” a group describing itself as a network of Israelis and Palestinians working to end the conflict between their peoples. They are currently touring US college campuses.

“Roots, Roots, you can’t hide. You’re protecting genocide,” the protestors, who played loud music, chanted before turning their attention to Sayegh and shouting the expletive.

“The disruption of the event and the offensive language directed toward the Jewish and Palestinian guest speakers are absolutely unacceptable and a violation of our community standards,” Tufts University president Anthony Monaco said on Wednesday in a statement provided to The Algemeiner. “Tufts University police and other relevant offices at the university are investigating and we will hold accountable any members of our community who are found to be responsible.”

A California high school teacher who taught his class antisemitic conspiracies has been placed on leave of absence, the Hayward Unified School District announced on Thursday.

As first reported by The Jewish News of Northern California, during a unit on Elie Wiesel’s memoir, titled Night, Hayward High School teacher Henry Bens assigned as class reading “The Hidden Tyranny,” an antisemitic pamphlet authored by a Holocaust denier — Benjamin Freedman — that accuses the Jewish community of conspiring to subvert US power, control the media, and dominate the world politics. Bens, multiple students have alleged, also pantomimed the Nazi salute during lessons.

“Hayward Unified School District does not condone or tolerate any type of hateful or biased rhetoric, including antisemitism,” district spokesperson Lauren McDermott told The Algemeiner on Thursday. “We take these allegations very seriously, and the teacher alleged to have made much statements and used inappropriate materials is currently on a leave of absence.”

Students told Jewish News earlier this month that Bens repeatedly said everything they knew was a lie and that he would “remove the blindfold.” His behavior was first reported in December, but other students said it has persisted for several years. Despite numerous complaints to the administration and direct pleas at school board meetings, he remained in the classroom.

Law enforcement and Jewish groups in the US are urging vigilance ahead of an antisemitic “national day of hate” planned by white supremacist and neo-Nazi groups for Saturday.

The white supremacists have called for followers to distribute antisemitic messaging with banners, stickers, fliers and graffiti. There are no known threats of violence and a Jewish security group said it did not expect widespread participation.

“Take a stand, and expose the international clique of parasitic vermin that infest our nation,” said a statement attributed to the hate groups. “Make your voices heard loud and clear, that the one true enemy of the American people is the Jew.”

SCN said it had been tracking the extremist calls since early January, when a minor neo-Nazi group called for a “day of MASS ANTI-SEMITIC ACTION” on the Telegram messaging app.

The groups urged followers to “shock the masses with banner drops, stickers, fliers, and graffiti.”

More prominent hate and neo-Nazi groups including the Goyim Defense League and National Socialist Movement picked up on the campaign and promoted it online. The effort is not centrally organized and there have been no advertised locations or times for the activities, SCN said in its situation report.

Online discussions about the event have been limited and SCN said it did not expect widespread participation or violence.

Local communities should remain vigilant, report suspicious activities to law enforcement, and avoid conflict or confrontation with any individuals participating in the campaign, the ADL and SCN said.

Broadway actor and Tony award winner Ben Platt took to social media to speak out against the antisemitic protest against Parade, the new show he stars in about the 1915 lynching of a Jewish man in Georgia.


“There were some neo-nazi protestors from a really disgusting group… bothering some of our patrons on the way in and saying antisemitic things about Leo Frank, who the show is about,” explained Platt at the beginning of his video statement.

“It was definitely very ugly and scary, but [also] a wonderful reminder of why we’re telling this particular story,” Platt declared. ”It just made me feel extra, extra grateful to be the one that gets to tell this particular story and to carry on this legacy of Leo.”

What is “Parade” about?​

Platt stars as Leo Frank, the Jewish manager of an Atlanta pencil factory who was accused of murdering a girl whose body was found there in 1913. Despite little evidence, Frank was found guilty of killing Mary Phagan, who had worked at the factory and was sentenced to death.


In 1915, when Frank’s sentence was commuted to life in prison, he was kidnapped by an armed mob and lynched – a case that inspired the creation of the Anti-Defamation League, the Jewish civil rights group whose activities include monitoring neo-Nazi activity.


“I just wanted the button on the evening, at least for me, personally to be to celebrate what a beautiful experience (the play) is,” he said. “Not the really ugly actions of a few people who are spreading evil.”

Neo-nazi protest against "Parade"​

The protesters, who identified with the National Socialist Movement – a neo-Nazi group headquartered in Florida that has a swastika in its logo – carried a poster that accused Frank of being a pedophile, according to videos shared from the incident.


That allegation is frequently made by neo-Nazis who reject the consensus that Frank was innocent of the crime. They see the advocacy on his behalf as evidence of Jewish control of the media, a longstanding antisemitic trope.


The Parade protesters also distributed antisemitic literature and criticized the ADL, according to videos shared on social media from the scene. One video shared on Twitter suggested that at least some people present jeered the neo-Nazis. The protesters held a white banner with red capital letters reading “Leo frankly was a pedo.”
[ Is this where the Republicans got the idea of calling all Democrats pedphiles? ]

Part 1

The announcement that Jimmy Carter is entering hospice care at his home is prompting a wave of fawning pre-obituaries about what a wonderful humanitarian he is.

No one is talking about his antisemitism.

Carter's animus towards Israel is legendary, but the source of that hate is not his progressivism or humanitarianism, but old fashioned Christian antisemitism.

For decades, Jimmy Carter gave a weekly Sunday sermon at his Georgia church. Some of his lessons promoted classic Christian antisemitism, way beyond what the Christian scripture says.

He says that modern Israeli Jews are persecuting Palestinian Christians in line with alleged Jewish persecution of Christians in the New Testament because of Jewish supremacism:

“…this morning I’m gonna be trying to relate the assigned Bible lesson to us in the Uniformed Series with how that affected Israel and how it affects us through Christ personally… It’s hard for us to even visualize the prejudice against gentiles when Christ came on earth. If a Jew married a gentile, that person was considered to be dead. … How would you characterize from a Jew’s point of view the uncircumcised? Non believer? And what? Unclean, what? They called them DOGS! That’s true. … What was Paul’s feeling toward gentiles in his early life as a Jewish leader? [Paul was not a Jewish leader. Ed.] Anybody? Absolute commitment to persecution! To the imprisonment and even the execution of non-Jews who now professed faith in Jesus Christ. … We know the differences in the Middle East. But the differences there are between Jews on the one hand who comprise the dominating force both militarily and also politically and the Palestinians who are both Muslim and Christians. …”

Carter bizarrely claims that sacrifices in the Jewish Temples were a means for rich Jews to avoid taking care of their elderly parents:

“Corban [sacrifices] was a prayer that could be performed by usually a man in an endorsed ceremony by the Pharisees that you could say in effect, ‘God, everything that I own all these sheep all these goats this nice house and the money that I have, I dedicate to you, to God.’ And from then on according to the Pharisees law those riches didn’t belong to that person anymore. They were whose? God’s! So as long as those riches were belonged to the person, that person was supposed to share them with needy parents right? But once it was God’s it wasn’t theirs and they didn’t have anything to share with their parents. So with impunity, and approved by the Pharisaic law, they could avoid taking care of their needy parents by a trick that had been evolved by the incorrect and improper interpretation of the law primarily designed by religious leaders to benefit whom? The rich folks! The powerful people! Because the poor man wouldn’t have all of this stuff to give to God. He would probably, in fact he might very well have his parents in the house with him or still be living with his own parents.”

This is a completely fictional reading of Jewish law.

Carter repeatedly said that Jewish leaders wanted to kill Jesus for various reasons, spreading the very source of Christian antisemitism as truth:

The subject of his first class was the tale of Jesus driving the moneylenders from the temple. The press soon reported that the president had informed his students that this story was “a turning point” in Christ’s life. “He had directly challenged in a fatal way the existing church, and there was no possible way for the Jewish leaders to avoid the challenge. So they decided to kill Jesus.”

So the Jews wanted to kill Jesus because he opposed the moneylenders! And in another lesson, Carter doubled down on Jewish hate of Christians:

He soon spoke at a Sunday-school class again; and, with an AP reporter in attendance, told those assembled that Jesus, in proclaiming himself the Messiah, was aware that he was risking death “as quickly as [it] could be arranged by the Jewish leaders, who were very powerful.”

There is a theme of rich, powerful Jews who want to oppress the gentiles - that informed Carter's view of the modern Middle East.

And his opinion of American Jews reflected that same animosity he has towards the Jews of Jesus' time. he blamed Jews for his loss in the 1980 election, more than once.

Part 2

Kenneth Stein, who worked with him and interviewed him for his own book, quotes Carter as railing against the "Jewish money" that opposed him:

"[Vice president] Fritz Mondale was much more deeply immersed in the Jewish organization leadership than I was. That was an alien world to me. They [American Jews] didn't support me during the presidential campaign [that] had been predicated greatly upon Jewish money."

Carter's aide Stuart Eizenstat also says that Carter blames Jews for his 1980 loss: “From the New York primary [in March 1980] onward, I believe Carter was left with the view that New York Jews had not only defeated him in the primary but were also a factor in his loss in November.” However, while New York Jews did vote overwhelmingly for Ted Kennedy in the primary, more voted for Carter than Reagan in the presidential election.

Reagan took over 90% of the electoral college in 1980. It was a landslide. For Carter to blame New York Jews for his huge loss is nothing less than pure antisemitism.

Carter's antisemitism doesn't end there. He noted how Palestinian Christians were fleeing, but he blamed not the Muslim supremacists who are persecuting them, but Israel, continuing his theme of powerful Jews persecuting Palestinian Christians - even though Israel's Christian community has stayed steady.

His hate of Jews naturally spread to his supporting antisemites. When Helen Thomas lost her job for calling for the ethnic cleansing of Jews in Israel, saying Jews must "get the hell out of Palestine" and "go home" to Germany or Poland where they were massacred, one of the very few people who supported her was....Jimmy Carter. She told Playboy that he was very sympathetic but didn't want to go into details because it would get him into trouble.

Carter also condoned terror attacks against Jews in Israel. Really.

In his "Peace, Not Apartheid" book, Carter wrote, "It is imperative that the general Arab community and all significant Palestinian groups make it clear that they will end the suicide bombings and other acts of terrorism when international laws and the ultimate goals of the Roadmap for Peace are accepted by Israel."

This "humanitarian" didn't call for suicide bombings against Jews to end unconditionally. He advised Palestinians to use them as a bargaining chip to force Israel to give in to their demands. That is literally the definition of terrorism, and Carter is saying that he supports the goals of Palestinian terror.


Carter made many hateful statements about Israel which clearly cross the line into antisemitism. For example, he once downplayed the Iranian nuclear threat because they would only have a couple of bombswhile Israel has hundreds, as if dropping a nuclear bomb on Tel Aviv is no big deal. Carter's support and even compliments for Hamas, for Palestinian "democracy" and other outrageous anti-Israel statements could fill a book. But even without mentioning Israel, his antisemitism is clear and unambiguous.

The single most damning example of Carter's antisemitism comes from an incident in 1987.

Neal Sher was the head of the Office of Special Investigations, the Justice Department’s Nazi prosecution unit. They had iron-clad evidence that a Chicago resident, Martin Bartesch, a member of the SS Death’s Head Division at the Mauthausen concentration camp, was a war criminal and a murderer.

Bartesch's family started a huge campaign against the OSI, writing letters to members of Congress and other prominent people asking for help. Most politicians contacted the OSI to find out the details, OSI provided them with evidence of his guilt, and they would drop the matter.

Part 3

But, Sher says, not Jimmy Carter.

In September 1987, after all of the gruesome details of the case had been made public and widely reported in the media, I received a letter sent by Bartesch’s daughter to the former president. Citing groups that had been exposed for their anti-Semitism, it was an all-out assault against OSI as unfair, “un-American” and interested only in “vengeance” against innocent family members.

...Not even the staunchest and most sincere devotee to humanitarian causes could legitimately claim that an SS murderer who deceived authorities to obtain a visa and citizenship was somehow deserving of exceptional treatment.

That’s why I was so taken aback by the personal, handwritten note Jimmy Carter sent to me seeking “special consideration” for this Nazi SS murderer. There on the upper-right corner of Bartesch’s daughter’s letter was a note to me in the former president’s handwriting, and with his signature, urging that “in cases such as this, special consideration can be given to the families for humanitarian reasons.”

Unlike members of Congress who inquired about the facts, Carter blindly accepted at face value the daughter’s self-serving (and disingenuous) assertions.

Here is Carter's note supporting the case of a known Nazi war criminal.



Carter took the side of a family of a Nazi against his own government. And he couched it in "humanitarian" terms.

Maybe, maybe one could excuse one or two of these examples in isolation. But in the aggregate, there is no denying it: Jimmy Carter is an antisemite, and anyone who doesn't think that this detracts from his humanitarian work is condoning world's oldest hate.

[ Peace Treaty????? Without taking all the textbooks, etc away for good and teaching peace, this is the endless result ]

M. Sameh Mohamed Bassiouni is the head of Egypt's Islamist Nour Party (which has seven seats in Egypt's Parliament) and is also a member of the Presidential Council.

He published an antisemitic screed on his Facebook page, summarized by Fath-News which he linked to on his Twitter account:

The Jews are people of treachery and not people of peace. Throughout history, they are killers of the prophets. They kill children, women, and the elderly in cold blood. They do not respect a believer except for a covenant. They see themselves as above human beings and consider it lawful to kill others and enslave them, as stated in their books and on the tongues of their rabbis.

... On the false claims of normalization, what they promote of an alleged Abrahamic religion or a manufactured Abrahamic house is very dangerous, with which they domesticate generations of Muslims so that they become coexistent with murder, treachery, and the abhorrent Jewish occupation.

Earlier this week, Bassiouni claimed that the synagogue opened in Abu Dhabi was meant to "achieve the fixed strategic Zionist plans to implement the Talmudic dream of a Jewish state from the Nile to the Euphrates."

Don't worry though - human rights groups won't say a word, and if pushed, they'll just say he is anti-Zionist.

Because according to them, only Nazis are antisemitic.
