Why doesn't James Abourezk's obituary mention he blamed Zionists for 9/11 and supported Hamas and Hezbollah?

James Abourezk, the first Arab American U.S. senator, died last week at 92.AP wrote an obituary that mentions his positions, and says, "Abourezk also became an outspoken critic of Israel and U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East after touring the region and visiting his parents’ hometown in Lebanon as a senator. The position lost him many political allies, and he decided...

Jimmy Carter, antisemite.

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...

Two sickos in one convenient post!

From Commentary's Alana Goodman: During an interview with Joy Behar last night, Helen Thomas made it clear that she was standing behind her statements that Israeli Jews should “go back” to Germany and Poland. However, she did make a couple of additions to the list of countries that Jews should “return” to, such as Russia and the United States. “They’ve been free ever since,” said Thomas, referring to the Jews after the Holocaust. “They didn’t have...

The exception that proves the rule: An Arab speaks against Helen Thomas

I have mentioned a couple of times that I could not find a single prominent Arab American who did not defend Helen Thomas' anti-semitic comments, by either denying they were anti-semitic and/or confirming that they were true. I also showed that major Arab American organizations specifically went out of their way to honor her because of, not in spite of, her anti-Jewish outburst. A single exception has just appeared. Hussein Ibish, a quite prominent...

Ray Hanania says that "Zionism" is a New York City organization

Yet another article by the "moderate" Ray Hanania shows that his grip on reality is getting more tenuous by the day. Yes, he still denies that Helen Thomas was demanding, in an unguarded moment, that Jews should "get the hell out of Palestine." And he insists that her comments about "Zionists" owning Congress, the White House, Hollywood and Wall Street" - classic anti-semitic tropes - were about Zionists. (No doubt, hook-nosed "Zionists"...
