There is no inoculation for the virus of Jew-hatred

My post about Jimmy Carter's antisemitism last week prompts a question: but what about all the wonderful things he has done?One cannot argue that Carter has not been sincere when he works with Habitat for Humanity, for example. His Middle East work may be influenced by his antisemitism, but he has worked on many other worthy causes. How can those things fit together?But one...

10/19 Links Pt2: Why I think the Golden Age for Jews in America is coming to its end; The UN needs to be reimagined and reformed; Peter Bergson – The Unintended Hero of the Holocaust Era

From Ian: Why I think the Golden Age for Jews in America is coming to its end - opinion The New Antisemitism is becoming violent The decline in the favorability of mainstream American views toward Israel has coincided with a rise in antisemitic violence, particularly in large metropolises, promoted by Islamo-Leftist groups. In New York City, more than half of hate crimes...

Here's what would happen if someone asked Alice Walker about her antisemitic beliefs

Yair Rosenberg writes in his Atlantic "Deep Shtetel" column that a Tablet magazine piece he wrote in 2018 about how writer Alice Walker spouts crazed antisemitic conspiracy theories went viral and ended up, to some extent, "canceling" her. Now she is about to release her last 50 years of journals, and Rosenberg is ambivalent about his role on sort-of but not really...

Alice Walker responds to antisemitism charges with yet MORE antisemitism

On Alice Walker's blog, the author and poet publishes a letter from anti-Zionist Israeli Nurit Peled-Elhanan that pretends to defend the Talmud from Walker's antisemitic essay: Dear Alice I read your poem and the criticism of it and I must react. The people who torture and kill Palestinian have never studied the Talmud. It is not studied in Israeli state schools. And...

Anti-Zionists justify Alice Walker's antisemitism, saying she's "wrong" - but her heart is in the right place

Mondoweiss publishes Sarah Schulman, the academic fraud who popularized the term "pinkwashing," to explain to their audience how Alice Walker's blatant antisemitism is sort of okay once you contextualize it. Like many of us, Walker has tried to understand the source of Israeli cruelty, violence, self-righteous racism, and supremacy ideology. She has risked her life for...

Academic fraud of the day defends Alice Walker: "Some of her best friends are Jewish" @myHNN

At History News Network, professor of social studies and history at NYU Robert Cohen states flatly that Alice Walker is not an antisemite: Whatever the merits of Walker’s reading of Icke, her life history has been one in which she has consistently and eloquently battled bigotry since her teenage college years at Spelman College where she was active in the Atlanta movement...

The problem isn't the NYT or David Icke - it is Alice Walker herself

I have criticized Alice Walker in the past for her adoration of David Icke as well as for the borderline antisemitism in one of her books: But until the Tablet coverage of New York Times interview where she idolizes Icke I had no idea that last year she had written a completely sickening anti-Jewish "poem" that sounds exactly like neo-Nazi propaganda. Here's...

Antisemite David Icke to speak at city-owned theatre in Vancouver for ten hours

From CBC News: A British conspiracy theorist known for his outlandish ideas about lizard people and "Zionists" controlling the world is set to perform in a Vancouver civic theatre this weekend, provoking outrage from Jewish groups. David Icke, a former sports broadcaster, is scheduled to give a full-day presentation at the Orpheum Theatre on Saturday. The theatre is operated...

San Jacinto College, Menifee Valley Campus: Wednesday, November 18 4:30pm - 6:30pm, Room 927 (MVC) Roadmap to Apartheid: Ana Nogueira, a white South African, and Eron Davidson, a Jewish Israeli, draw on their first-hand knowledge of the issues to investigate...

Prominent Israel hater believes world run by reptilian space aliens (updates)

Alice Walker, the author of "The Color Purple" who was also a "jurist" in the kangaroo court "Russell Tribunal on Palestine," believes that Israel is an apartheid state. She also believes that the world is run by shape-shifting reptilian aliens who practice mind control from the Moon. I'm not sure which opinion is more bizarre. On her blog, she waxes poetic...

Alice Walker supports apartheid

Pulitzer Prize-winning author Alice Walker has been getting a lot of publicity for joining the latest planned flotilla to Gaza, and she has also gotten a bit of much-deserved criticism. Something she said over the weekend shows just how skewed her thinking is: I grew up in the South under segregation, under the state terrorism of apartheid. When I was in the West...
