“The number of African-Americans with
strong anti-Semitic beliefs remains high at 32%.”

“Many Jews have proudly expressed their solidarity for African-Americans in the wake of the horrific deaths of George Floyd and other Blacks at the hands of police.

American Jews, in large numbers, and leaders of the American Jewish community, have been outspoken in their support for racial justice and police reforms.

So we believe it’s fair to ask why there hasn’t been any condemnation or criticism by African-American leaders of Louis Farrakhan’s hateful rhetoric.

Why do they remain silent, when he defames not only Jews but others…”

“Indeed, the recent surge of anti-Semitic comments from some African-American athletes and celebrities like DeSean Jackson, Nick Cannon and Ice Cube were largely ignored by BLM activists rather than condemned.

While there were some blacks who did speak out, like basketball Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabaar and sports commentator Jemele Hill, they were the honorable exceptions who proved the rule and testified to the acceptance of Jew-hatred among many blacks.

Jewish groups, some of which are diffident about confronting African-Americans about anti-Semitism, aren’t likely to rally BLM advocates to confront this issue, let alone seek its sources, such as the widespread influence of hatemonger Louis Farrakhan and his Nation of Islam.”
