Louis Farrakhan, the rabid anti-White, anti-Semitic leader of the Nation of Islam, called Jews “termites” while addressing a crowd in Detroit to mark the 23rd anniversary of the Million Man March.
“White people don’t like Farrakhan,” he said in his speech at the event on Sunday, a clip of which was posted on his Twitter account on Wednesday.
“To the members of the Jewish community that don’t like me, thank you very much for putting my name all over the planet because of your fear of what we represent,” he continued.
Farrakhan was referring to the strong reaction to antisemitic comments he made in a speech in May this year when he talked of “Satanic Jews who have infected the whole world with poison and deceit.”
“I can go anywhere in the world and they’ve heard of Farrakhan,” he continued. “Thank you very much.”
“I’m not mad at you because you’re so stupid,” he added.
“So when they talk about Farrakhan, call me a hater, you [know] what they do, call me an Anti-Semite. Stop it, I’m anti-termite,” he said to laughter and applause around the audience. “I don’t know nothing about hating somebody because of their religious preference.”

Farrakhan was so proud of the hateful comment—and so fearful that not enough people had heard it—that he posted it on his Twitter account. And shockingly, Twitter has announced they will not suspend or ban Farrakhan for a violation of its policies.
Just in from a @Twitter spokesperson: Louis Farrakhan's tweet comparing Jews to termites is not in violation of the company's policies. The policy on dehumanizing language has not yet been implemented.
So if you want to compare Jews to rats/insects – get it in while you can!

SHOCKER: Photo Of Obama With Jew-Hater Louis Farrakhan Was Hidden For Years [FLASHBACK VIDEO]
NY State Assemblyman Dov Hikind (D-Brooklyn) called on fellow Democrats to condemn the despicable remarks.
“Farrakhan’s vile statements against Whites and Jews have been ignored by my fellow Democrats,” said Hikind. “There is nothing subtle about this modern-day Goebbels’ hatred. This racist doesn’t even hide behind an anti-Israel statement; he just publicly attacks Jews and the Jewish religion, and works to incite hatred and racism among his followers. Even worse, Democrats continue to give him a pass. Former President Bill Clinton sat next to him at Aretha Franklin’s funeral. It was appalling!”
Hikind noted that Farrakhan has a long history of saying hateful things about Jews, whites and gays. Among some of Farrakhan’s comments were, “White people deserve to die,” “Hitler was a very great man,” “Jews are the Synagogue of Satan” and “the Satanic Jews control everything and mostly everybody.”
“It’s time for my Democrats to speak up and condemn this hatred. We must be consistent. ALL hatred and racism must be treated the same.”
This is anti-Semitism.
This is who @WomensMarch leaders admired.
This is who @TheDemocrats befriended.
This is who @BarackObama snagged a picture with.
This is who @BillClinton just hung out on stage with.
This is who The Left won’t fully condemn.
This is @LouisFarrakhan. https://t.co/1hX4roHiOg— Jerry Dunleavy (@JerryDunleavy) October 17, 2018
Hold on to your hats for my contrarian opinion: Keeping Farrakhan on @Twitter is better than sweeping him under the rug. This way, people see his influence, what he tells his million followers, and who condemns his vile bigotry and who doesn't. It's very revealing on all counts. https://t.co/X30X1iHPw8

Why is this news?

Dear Editors,
There is a spelling mistake in the caption of the picture posted above, ‘President Barack Obama smiling with the Minister of the Nation of Islam, Louis Farrakhan, in 2005’. It should read ‘….with the Monster of….’ not minister. Please correct this mistake so it doesn’t confuse other readers.
Thanks!
Let us daven for his death, we can do it guys.
It will work, we just need a lot of tefillos.
He’s right about one thing. People shouldn’t publicize anything he says. Leave his filthy remarks in the toilet.
Drop Dead Farrakhan
Posting photos of Obama and Clinton with this demon take the focus away from the primary issue of marginalizing this anti-Semite whose following has rapidly diminished in recent years. I can find photos of the Trumpkopf smiling with some of the worst butchers in the world who make Farrakah look like a malach. This morning we saw pictures of Pompeo in Ridyah smiling and doing high-fives with the butchers of Saudi Arabia .Keep the focus on Farrakahn and stop trying to implicate the Dems for associating with him 15-20 years ago.
all the jewish liberals should watch this video, all the reformers and conservatives, all the rabbis for g-ys, and all other fraye`s. At a time when people just speed thru the tochaacha trying to be yoitze krias hatorah or when people dont listen to krias hatorah at all, hashem sent us a tochacha in our language so no one will forget: the holocaust could happen any day in america. (listen to those cheers after he said the termite comment, those vile people would tear up a jew at the first opportunity)
godol hadoress, thats ridiculous, never would was there a picture revealed of trump with anyone coming up to the toes of this menuval, and if there would be, believe me with today’s media in mind, we wouldn’t hear the end of it. as with the pompeo comment, there was no evidence of the princes order to the murder, as such, in the beginning of diplomatic talks, you have to be polite and act kiminhag ha`olam. what did you want, pomeo to walk in and punch him in the face? a slap? stick out his tongue? zug mich!!!! dont forget the whole reason he went to Riyadh altogether is to investigate the killing, you think he went for a photo-op???
Keep voting democrat, silly jews. Dont worry about their best friends, compatriots, and fellow travelers.
Yup, this is Obama yms’h BFF. All part of Black Theologian Insanity.
@GH- “…photos of the Trumpkopf smiling…” And the photos of him smiling with Rosa Parks and other black leaders still leave room for you to call him a racist? Why does it only work one way? Classic lefty loony-ism.
Gadolhadorah, again- everything is about President Trump with you, he’s stuck in your dreams, thoughts, and feelings. 1.First off, I’m not sure why you keep calling him “Trumpkopf”- can you please explain to me how he is like Adolf Hitler?
2. Can you name me the “worst butchers” that Trump is standing next to? Please differentiate if the photo is just because Trump and the “butcher” were at a conference photo-op together or if they have a substantial relationship too. There is substantial evidence that Clinton and Obama not only are in pictures, but also have a relationship with Louis Farrakhan.
3. Let’s be fair. Since you mentioned one of Trump’s cabinet high-fiving Arabs, let’s use the same from 2016 with Obama’s cabinet (John Kerry)- defending a two-state solution at the UN with multiple leaders from the EU and Arab Nations. I wasn’t going to mention cabinet members, but since you did- I will too.
4. I know you were against Trump’s embassy move to Jerusalem, his defending of the Palestinian Authorities (PA), his December 20, 2017 commutation of Sholom Mordechai Rubashkin’s prison sentence, his supreme court nominees who support traditional marriage values, limiting late-term abortions, and preserving religious liberty.
Many “in the audience” at YWN know that you put liberal politics ahead of yiddishkeit. I disagree with your views and the way you place poltiics as the ‘ikkar’ of your life. You should have no shortage of Democratic friends who can keep you company. You can all discuss how Israel is an apartheid. Candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Keith Ellison, and Bernie Saunders.
Gadolhadorah, “Posting photos of Obama and Clinton with this demon” does not take the focus away. It should be a reminder to all Yiden and decent Goym about true evil nature of Democrats, especially before 2018 midterms. I know you are disappointed that people will see the truth about you lefties buddies, but truth hurts sometimes. And please stop inserting Trump in all negative reporting about Democrats, your typical Bolshevik Alinskyite tactics to blame your opponent for the sins of your pals does not work anymore.
Its our fault that he has the chutzpa to say what he says
If we had peace amongst us then he would not dare
NO loshenhora = NO antisemitism
This is terrible, I hope all media is picking it up!
White car: you want to be in denial? then go back to early 1900 and see what happened when we were quiet to the hate hate speeches. ( By the way not so much to do with this article but Hungarians didn’t even believe the Polish when some escaped and told Hungarian Jews.)
whitecar, one can ask the same question “Why is showing pictures from the wedding of a Chassidishe’ Rav’s son is news?” I personally don’t care for any of the wedding news pictures, regardless if it’s a particular Rav’s or Derek Jeter’s. Others may find them newsworthy. Don’t make a fuss, move on to the stories you find newsworthy. I’ll do the same.

A great frum friend of mine, died about 7 years ago of inoperable brain cancer. He and I shared the same office for a number of years working at Ft. Monmouth, N.J. I attended his Levaya and shall always cherish him as a friend and his words of wisdom.
On one occasion, R. Goren and I were talking generally about WWII and the Nazis. I remarked to the rabbi that leading Nazis, Hitler, Goering, Himmler and others committed suicide to escape punishment. The rabbi said Gerry————-where do you think they are NOW ????
Farrakhan would do well to heed the rabbi’s warning.
It is written in the Book of Genesis: “I will bless them that bless you and I will CURSE them that curse you”
May I suggest as I am permitted to do by another great rabbi of Lakewood, N.J., b’vah’chah’shah:
Do more Talmud Torah.
Do more Davvening
Do more Chesed.
A goy,
Gerry Mullen
At this point, I think we should just feel bad for him. He obviously thinks he said something very clever, so we can conclude that he is an idiot.
Any 6 year old kid going to cheder has more ‘sechel’ that he all the way to his zeide Chom have combined. A real piece of trash calling him minister.
