Alt-Lite Furious With ADL Over Hate Speech List

THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP!!

Far right-wing personalities are attacking the Anti-Defamation League after the civil rights organization included them them on a “hate speech” list.

Several white nationalists and conspiracy theorists pushed back at the ADL’s branding them “alt-lite,” accusing the group of instigating violence against them for backing President Trump.

“The ADL is trying to get my family murdered #ADLTerror” tweeted Mike Cernovich, labeled as an “alt-lite” pundit and known for popularizing the PizzaGate conspiracy theory. Added Jack Posobeic, an organizer of the DeploraBall party in Washington, D.C.: “The ADL is now targeting Trump supporters with hate lists. What’s next, will they issue gold stars? #ADLTerror.”

The “alt-lite,” seen as a less virulent strain of the racist and xenophobic “alt-right,” was defined by the ADL as a “loosely-connected movement whose adherents generally shun white supremacist thinking, but who are in step with the alt right in their hatred of feminists and immigrants, among others.”

After Dyke March Scandal, SlutWalk Chicago Bans Zionist Displays From Upcoming August Protest

THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP!!

After the scandal involving the ejection of Jewish women carrying Star of David pride flags at Chicago’s Dyke March on June 28, a sister organization in the city has announced that it will follow suit by banning “Zionist displays” from its upcoming protest against sexual violence and “rape culture.”

The ban was announced this week on social media by the organizers of SlutWalk Chicago — part of an international protest movement that “fights rape culture, victim blaming, and slut shaming.” The Chicago event is set to take place on August 12.

“We still stand behind Dyke March Chicago’s decision to remove the Zionist contingent from their event, & we won’t allow Zionist displays at ours,” the organizers tweeted last Sunday — beginning several days of exchanges with other users over the policy. These were distinguished by the organizers’ continued insistence that anti-Zionism is a legitimate progressive belief, and that any linkage with antisemitism should be dismissed as a discrediting tactic.

In one exchange defending the Dyke March decision to exclude the Jewish women, the SlutWalk organizers aggressively justified the action, declaring: “They were kicked out after a discussion where they made their Zionist beliefs known and refused to back down.”

The Star of David flag was banned, they continued, “because its connections to the oppression enacted by Israel is too strong for it to be neutral & IN CONTEXT it was used as a Zionist symbol.”

So now the Star of David is the issue. This shows what bigots they really are, hiding behind the concept of "intersectionality", but in reality, it is nothing more than anti-Semitism! Now, another question, is WHY are no media outlets leaning to the left reporting this despite the fact the twitter accounts and interviews are demonstrating these comments are factual?!?!

Linda Sarsour Echoes Donald Trump, Smears CNNs Jake Tapper

THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP!!

On Monday, CNN’s Jake Tapper joined the alt-right.
The man who famously pressed Donald Trump more than 20 times in a single interview about his racist comments and one of the ten journalists to face the most anti-Semitic harassment online in 2016, according to the Anti-Defamation League is now with the likes of Richard Spencer and Pepe — at least according to Linda Sarsour.

The woman widely considered the face of January’s Women’s March and the larger intersectional resistance movement against the Trump administration took aim at a journalist from the news network the President has all but declared war on because Tapper raised a serious question about the state of intersectional feminism.

--snip--

So Tapper called out the Women’s March and specifically mentioned Sarsour and the Chicago Dyke March — the group that proudly expelled marchers for carrying flags with Stars of David in a gesture that many (including me) have criticized as blatantly anti-Semitic — for throwing their support behind Shakur: “Shakur is a cop-killer fugitive in Cuba. This, ugly sentiments from @lsarsour & @dykemarchchi ...Any progressives out there condemning this?”

---snip---

Yes, apparently, all it takes to qualify as a member of the utterly repugnant and hateful alt-right is to disagree with Sarsour.

It is somewhat reassuring, if not late, to see people finally calling out the bullshit being peddled under the guise of "intersectionality".

Chechen President on Gays: 'They Are Devils. They Are Not People'

Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov gave a chilling interview where he again said gay people do not exist in Chechnya and if they do, they are devils who should immediately flee to Canada.

Kadyrov — speaking to HBO's Real Sports, ostensibly about a wrestling league in Chechyna, a semiautonomous republic within Russia — was confronted about his nation's imprisonment and killing of gay and bisexual men; an unknown number have been murdered. Kadyrov was furious at the questioning by reporter David Scott: "Why does he come here? What's the point of these questions?"

Kadyrov finally answered,"We don't have those kinds of people here... If there are there take them to Canada... Take them far from us so we don't have them at home... To purify our blood, if there are any here, take them."

When pushed by Scott about the reports from the tortured gay men, Kadryov responded, "They are devils. They are for sale. They are not people."

Kadyrov — an ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin — also made clear he views the U.S. as an enemy and said, "Even if our government was completely destroyed, our nuclear missiles would be automatically deployed. We will put the whole world on its knees and screw it from behind."

'Violent History' of 'Zio': How Chicago's Dyke March Adopted an anti-Semitic Slur Dear to White Supr

THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP!!!

'Violent History' of 'Zio': How Chicago's Dyke March Adopted an anti-Semitic Slur Dear to White Supremacists

The latest chapter in the Chicago Dyke March controversy unfolded late last week after the group walked back its use of the term “Zio,” a pejorative brought into prominence by former KKK Grand Wizard David Duke and often deployed by white supremacists.


The group had tweeted “Zio tears replenish my electrolytes” to mock concerns about the march’s banning of women carrying Gay Pride flags with the Star of David at the center. And the journalist who broke the story last month was demoted following pressure from the march’s organizers, says a close friend who was with the reporter at the event.


In any case, critics argue that the Dyke March’s apparent attempt to distinguish between anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism was offset by the violence of the prefix-turned-epithet.


...snip....

When the Dyke March Collective was originally confronted with the controversy surrounding the term, it responded: “Wow, trying to compare a group of queer people of color to the KKK, so fucked up.”


The Chicago Dyke March Collective describes itself as “an anti-racist, anti-violent, volunteer-led, grassroots effort with a goal to bridge together communities across race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, age, size, gender identity, gender expression, sexuality, culture, immigrant status, spirituality, and ability.”

Netanyahu attends ceremony for 75th anniversary of WWII roundup of Jews in Paris

Source: i24NEWS

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu attended a ceremony commemorating 75 years since the rounding up of 13,000 Jews at Paris's Vél d'Hiv stadium in 1942, the majority of whom were later deported and killed in Nazi extermination camps.

It was the first time the premier attended the ceremony and it is his first visit to Paris since 2015 after the attacks on Charlie Hebdo and the kosher supermarket Hypercacher.

....

In July 1942, 13,152 Jews were arrested at the request of the Nazis and by order of the French government in power. Held in inhumane conditions for four days, they were piled on the steps of the Velodrome d'Hive stadium (demolished in 1959), dedicated to cycling races, before being taken to camps in the Loiret. There, 3,000 children were brutally separated from their parents, and deported first to Auschwitz.

Less than a hundred of those rounded up - and none of the children - survived.

French Jews fume as prosecutors reject hate crime in Jewish womans murder

PARIS — Leaders of French Jewry strongly criticized the absence of a mention of hate crime in the indictment of a Paris man who killed his Jewish neighbor while shouting about Allah.

CRIF, the umbrella group of French Jewish community, used uncharacteristically harsh language in criticizing the indictment for murder filed by prosecutors Wednesday against Kobili Traore, who confessed to killing 66-year-old Sarah Halimi on April 4 and throwing her dying body from the third-story window of her apartment.

“CRIF is astonished that the anti-Semitic character of the murder was omitted,” read the statement of the organization, which over the past two weeks has presented on the homepage of its website a running meter with the number of days it took authorities to file an indictment. CRIF has accused authorities of covering up and silencing the slaying of Halimi along with mainstream media.

Traore, 27, who has no history of mental illness, initially was hospitalized in a psychiatric institution as per his insanity plea. He knew that Halimi, a physician and kindergarten teacher, was Jewish and had called her daughter “dirty Jew” in the elevator two years ago, the daughter told French Jewish media.

Are Muslim, gay, black and Jewish swimmers safe at the FINA World Championship in Budapest?

As an American of Hungarian origin I hope that the USA Swim team will succeed in Budapest at the upcoming 2017 FINA World Aquatics Championships. The competition will start this weekend and lasts two weeks. I also wish good luck to the Hungarian team.

To be honest I would have been happier if Hungarian-born Katinka Hosszú would compete in US colors, as she did in the past. She has decided to represent her birth country, Hungary, and that is her choice. I sincerely hope that she won’t become a poster girl of that country’s oppressive regime.

US swimmers should know that while Hungarian people are not racist, Hungary’s current government and policies are. Prime Minister Orbán’s regime relentlessly attacks Muslims, gays, blacks and Jews. Orbán talks about a „Muslim invasion” of the country and “Christian identity is under threat” from Muslim immigrants. Hungary won’t let them in.

His government also talks about “faggot lobby” and host city Budapest’s mayor, Mr. István Tarlós, has talked about homosexuality as “unnatural and repulsive.” Deputy Prime Minister Mr. Zsolt Semjén has called homosexuality “a deviance” and “an aberration.” Pro-government media labelled Brian Boitano as a gay provocateur because he was part of the US 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics delegation.

Blacks don’t fare much better. Orbán has explained that the “real threat” comes from Africa because the blacks are ready to migrate and threaten Hungary.

(Jewish Group) The Far Lefts Toxic Mix Of Anti-Semitism And Misogyny Must Be Stopped

THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP!!!

The British elections should be a lesson for the Democratic Party,” Sen. Bernie Sanders wrote in The New York Times less than a week after race ended. Never mind that the left-wing Labour Party actually lost to the Conservative Party, much like Hillary Clinton defeated Sanders himself in the Democratic primaries. The American left, he argued, has much to learn from Labour’s “very progressive manifesto that generated much enthusiasm among young people and workers.”

A month has now passed since that election, and Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn and the far-left, including the grassroots campaigning organization Momentum, are in the ascendancy. There are signs that their primary task is now quashing dissent and securing the revolution inside the Party. Get on board with Corbyn or get out is the long and the short of it. Moderate Members of Parliament may be targeted by activists for “de-selection” — withdrawing the party endorsement — and replaced by ideological conformists.

One of those preyed upon in recent days has been Luciana Berger. The local party in her constituency, Liverpool Wavertree, has been taken over by Corbyn supporters who immediately demanded an apology for her prior insubordination, local press reported. Roy Bentham — previously a regular contributor to Socialist Fight, a website run by the anti-Zionist conspiracy theorist Gerry Downing — said, “The next time she wants to vote for bombing in Syria or to pass a no confidence motion in the leader of the party, she will have to be answerable to us.”

This ominous and obvious intimidation fits a pattern on the far-left, an unhealthy obsession not only with women — BBC journalist Laura Kuenssberg, Labour MP Yvette Cooper, and so on — but more specifically Jewish women. Most infamously, at the launch of a botched report into anti-Semitism in the Labour Party in June 2016, Ruth Smeeth stated that she was “verbally attacked by a Momentum activist and Jeremy Corbyn supporter who used traditional anti-Semitic slurs to attack me for being part of a ‘media conspiracy.’”

After that incident, Smeeth was called a “yid,” a “CIA/MI5/Mossad informant,” and a “traitor.” She was not alone. Margaret Hodge received anti-Semitic emails after she instigated a vote of no confidence against Corbyn in July 2016. In Liverpool Riverside, the far-left created what a local councilor called an “intimidating and hostile” atmosphere for Jews, which included going after their MP, Louise Ellman, who is also vice-chair of Labour Friends of Israel.

The Anti-Semitism Around Donald Trump

President Donald Trump’s visit to Warsaw prior to the G20 summit in Hamburg was a whirlwind affair, tightly scheduled and lasting less than a day. It was so tight, in fact, that he was unable to squeeze in a stop at the monument to the 1943 Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, sending his daughter Ivanka to lay flowers there instead.

With that decision, Trump became the first U.S. president in nearly 30 years not pay his respects at the monument on his first state visit to Poland. Leaders of the Jewish community there expressed disappointment in his decision to skip it.

Coming just days after the president retweeted a video of himself beating up CNN from an account that turns out to have also trafficked in vicious anti-Semitism (once again), the omission was bound to draw notice and criticism from Jews in Poland as well as the U.S. It was also suspiciously convenient to the political agenda of Poland’s ruling party, Politico’s Annie Karni notes, as the right-wing nationalist Law and Justice party has worked to refocus Poland’s historical memory of the Holocaust on its Polish victims and heroes (of which there were indeed very many), and away from the virtual eradication of the country’s millennium-old Jewish community — much less any Polish complicity in that atrocity, the mere mention of which the ruling party has sought to criminalize.

This is not to suggest that Trump’s travel itineraries reveal anti-Semitic intentions. But it’s part of a pattern of participating in situations and categories of political rhetoric with anti-Jewish undercurrents.

In his Warsaw speech, Trump referred frequently to “the West” and to “our civilization,” going so far as to state grandiosely: “The fundamental question of our time is whether the West has the will to survive.” This claim, Peiter Beinart observes at the Atlantic, “only makes sense as a statement of racial and religious paranoia”:
