Reply To: Black Anti-Semitism in the 1980s

Alan Dershowitz said:

In 2016 I wrote an op-ed demanding that Black Lives Matter rescind the portion of its platform that describes Israel as an “apartheid state” involved in “genocide … against the Palestinian people.”

I pointed out that the platform refers to no other country but Israel, despite the egregious records of many foreign countries with regard to police brutality.

It is now four years later and these provisions of the platform remain intact.

According to [Louis] Farrakhan [leader of the “Nation of Islam”], who pals around with Holocaust deniers among other conspiracy kooks, the Holocaust was just another Jewish swindle. “International bankers financed Hitler and poor Jews died while big Jews were at the root of what you call the Holocaust,” Farrakhan declared in 1995.

[Louis Farrakhan said:]
“Little Jews died while big Jews made money.
Little Jews were turned into soap while big Jews washed themselves with it.”

PERSONAL COMMENT:
Even after speaking many vicious lies against Jews, Louis Farrakhan is still one of the most popular and respected people among African-Americans.

Melanie Phillips (a columnist for “The Times of London”) said:

Anti-Semitism in the black community has been a significant problem since the emergence in the 1960s of the Black Power movement, which blamed the Jews for outrages stretching from slavery to gentrification.

Black Power politicians, as Barack Obama noted in his memoir “Dreams from My Father”, peddled conspiracy theories such as the claim that Jewish doctors were injecting black babies with the AIDS virus.

Demagogues such as Rev. Al Sharpton or Louis Farrakhan, head of the Nation of Islam, have long whipped up black and Muslim communities with their talk of “Hymietown” or “Satanic Jews.”
