The development of the JDL was directly related to the upsurge in anti-Semitism associated with Black nationalism and the Black Power movement. It is no coincidence that the name “Jewish Defense League” is quite similar to the “Black Panther Party for Self-Defense.”

and Chutzpah ROFL… oy vey if you would have known me in 2002, i’m still doing tshuva

Exactly who are the “racists” backing themselves up with Hebrew words – as you describe it?

Exactly where in the world are the army bases stencilled with signs in Hebrew – besides Israel?

Where was it made clear that the “racists” – at least in the picture – are not Jews?

A photo of anti-Semitic Ukranian goyim was used to represent racist Jews.

This is misinformation. And from what you say about your selection of the photo – you knew its provenance and real story before you posted it.

Which is totally unrelated to the Nuremburg Laws.”

Oh is it, Ben David? Is it really “unrelated”?

Also, the reason I bring up the Arabic is because English borrowed the term Kafir (Heretic, Unbeliever) from Arabic to refer to Black people, so maybe with this word it was borrowed as well?

How about the bizarre irony that Hikind was a former JDL street thug, which, to my understanding, did little back in the day to stop the ongoing black-Jewish rift in the inner city?

You just have it set in your mind to be pissed off at me.

If you find that graphic so offensive, I’ll remove it for you, so as to not have your BP reach lethal levels. You’ve asked me repeatedly and I’ve said the same thing. This is not “the face of Jewish racism”, this is out of place, and a visual metaphor.

In case you didn’t see it when I wrote that the past 4x.

Talking about violence against Rabbis?

How else should I have taken that?

Of course, not all opponents of any political initiative share any ideology. That wasn’t the point. But these people ostensibly thought they were either voicing the opinions of Jews or speaking for Jews or something. And I was furious that it was these people who were so moved to speak and use vulgarity.

I could see how that graphic would be out of line — overly provocative? — but it shows how out of place racism is in Jewish contexts. Just like no one should be sieg heiling in Israel, these things should never come from Jews…and unchecked! Like I said, there were very few Jewish screen names saying otherwise with the same impassioned tone.

Which is totally unrelated to the Nuremburg Laws.

Nor did these creeps didn’t come to Israel “on behalf of” anyone.

And you misused that image to equate Jews who pointed out black violence and anti-semitism with White-supremacist-style racists.

In your own words, you chose the image because it combined Hebrew with the Nazi salute – context be damned.

1. Your post is about racism among Jews, and you appear to support your post with an image of two men, one in Israeli military uniform, in Israel, in front of official Hebrew lettering, doing a Hitler salute. At the very least, this is confusing because it indicates that this is the face of Jewish racism. I’m sure there is Jewish racism, but that is not its face or even mildly representative of Jewish racism. I’m not criticizing, but asking your to reconsider your position.

2. The people posting the racist shit at NYDailyNews are NOT posting on “behalf of Jews.” Where do you get that impression? One can disagree with the idea of expending community efforts and resources to ally with the African-American community without being a racist, needing racist defending on the internet and while believing that all men and women are indeed created equal and deserve to be treated as equals. I am not responsible for some idiot posting racist crap just because the topic involves me.

Just so you know where I’m coming from, I actually support this type of initiative and believe the Jewish community should reach out to groups such as Latinos and African-Americans so that a dialogue is established and others can learn about us and our community just as we can learn about their communities.

You think I want to paint “Jews as racist”? WHAT? The majority of Jews are anti-racist. THAT graphic? I thought it was a shocking graphic which gave the effect I wanted to give off. People standing in front of Hebrew letters sieg Heiling.

In fact, the more I think about it, the more that graphic really is a propos because think about this: those people came in under the Law of Return. Let’s say they’re not Jewish. That means these people came in because of the Nuremberg Laws, because they could have been victims of anti-Semitism potentially. They came in on behalf of Jews — whoever their relatives were.

The people on NYDailyNews.com — same thing. Let’s say they’re not Jewish. They’re posting things on “behalf of Jews” — whoever the Jews are they think they’re benefiting by not sullying their wonderful communities with black alliances.

Please remember to shampoo after you remove your head from wherever it’s been stuck.

Just think about that line of logic.

Even if the entire Brooklyn AA community hated Jews (which of course we know isn’t true), it would STILL be stupid to make the logical jump that this was always true of the AA community nationwide. See what I mean?

I dont think Heschel’s civil rights advocacy had much do with a “shared history” between any groups, or even self-interest, as much as it did a sheer belief in human equality. Humanity. What a notion.

This is a photo of Ukranian skinheads of dubious Jewish descent who attack their fellow Israeli soldiers and hate the Israeli culture that took them in.

Both your original purpose and your half-assed exuse betray the extent to which you will distort reality to serve up an ideological message.

That’s all there is on the web – words, and images.

You have unethically manipulated both – and gone way beyond presenting a viewpoint, into misrepresention that you claim is “false but accurate”.

You are corrupt, no longer trustworthy or worth debating. If I were running this blog, I’d drop you like a hot potato.

amen, brothah.

I have no solutions, but I do think that too much bravado and macho bullshit isn’t going to help us think clearly. We saw what happens when Jews think they are in charge. There is increasingly international rage because of the role of the Jewish Neocons in selling the war.

You want more tough talk. Well, from where I am sitting, you do what you want over there. But don’t you tell me we need more of that shit over here. We have had quite enough of that.
