Alana Newhouse Says: The Problem is Farrakhan, not Trump!
We just got the Alana Newhouse Farrakhan epic in the Tikvah Tablet e-mail newsletter.
And there is a lot of it:
Apparently, the whole thing was triggered by a New York Times Op-Ed on the Million Man March that has sent the Neo-Con Jews into sheer “Uncle Leo” tizzy:
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/17/opinion/women-million-man-march.html
The e-mail newsletter opened with a rare editorial:
You are wicked deceivers of the American people. You have sucked their blood. You are not real Jews, those of you that are not real Jews. You are the synagogue of Satan, and you have wrapped your tentacles around the U.S. government, and you are deceiving and sending this nation to hell." —Louis Farrakhan
One thing irresponsible actors across the political spectrum now agree
on—perhaps the only thing—is that the medieval bigot Louis Farrakhan and his
followers are serious people who “represent” or can “speak for” black
America.
And this poisonous fiction is spreading.
It is being spread by Donald Trump, now partnering with rapper and Farrakhan fan Ice Cube, who enjoys tweeting anti-Semitic
memes and images, like one depicting Jewish bankers seated around a
Monopoly board resting on the backs of black men. It is being spread by
Barack Obama, headlining an event with the discredited Women's March
leader and Farrakhan acolyte Tamika Mallory. And it is being spread by the
editors of The New York Times, who this weekend ran a fawning op-ed about the
women behind Farrakhan's Million Man March without so much as a nod to his
overt and vile bigotry, which led the late John Lewis to boycott the event. When Jewish readers expressed anguish at
this whitewashing, the author of the piece took to Twitter to tell them to stop
"centering" themselves in this conversation. Can you
imagine that being said by a contributor to the Times to any other minority
group targeted for violence? And in the very year when there was a mass murder of Jews perpetrated by someone driven by
the ideas that Farrakhan promotes?
The normalizing of one of America’s leading conspiratorial anti-Semites by
leaders of both parties, in the hope of bringing out more African American
voters, is one more symptom of the deeply corrosive and morally repulsive
politics that has trashed the American liberal tradition. It makes a mockery of
the left’s flood of outrage over Donald Trump’s failure to forcefully denounce
white supremacists. For his part, Trump’s courting of one of Farrakhan's outspoken followers, reportedly through the good offices of his son-in-law
Jared Kushner, makes a mockery of the idea that he is a bulwark against
Jew-haters on the progressive left. As for The New York Times, we look
forward to the forthcoming magazine issue devoted to explaining that Farrakhan
and not Martin Luther King Jr. was actually the lead character in the fight for
racial justice in America, in a series of essays to be given out next year in
public schools.
If this is a dangerous moment for Jews—and it is—it is also a dangerous moment
for black Americans, who are being cast by both political parties as disciples
of a nut case who believes that Hollywood Jews spread homosexuality to weaken
blacks and that the “white race” was created by a mad scientist on an island
40,000 years ago. This is not a roadmap to a safer, more prosperous, more open
society; it’s a ticket to a society that, in the grip of conspiracy theories,
decays beyond help. Anyone who wants their children to live with others in
peace will reject this kind of manipulation, the consequences of which are all
around us and getting worse by the day.
For those still confused about Farrakhan and what his rehabilitation will mean
for our society, here is a selection of articles that make it very, very clear.
As we see America falling apart under the Fascist tyranny of a criminal psychopath who is quite literally killing us, as we see our Supreme Court being populated by Christian Anti-Semite radicals, as we see the destruction of our democratic institutions, Alana Newhouse very wisely decided to dedicate her Neo-Con Straussian White Jewish Supremacist publication to Farrakhan.
She certainly has her priorities in order!
Because it is clear that Farrakhan is the most dangerous threat that we now face:
The normalizing of one of America’s leading
conspiratorial anti-Semites by leaders of both parties, in the hope of bringing
out more African American voters, is one more symptom of the deeply corrosive and
morally repulsive politics that has trashed the American liberal tradition. It
makes a mockery of the left’s flood of outrage over Donald Trump’s failure to
forcefully denounce white supremacists. For his part, Trump’s courting of one of Farrakhan's outspoken followers, reportedly through the good offices of his son-in-law
Jared Kushner, makes a mockery of the idea that he is a bulwark against
Jew-haters on the progressive left. As for The New York Times, we look

and not Martin Luther King Jr. was actually the lead character in the fight for
racial justice in America, in a series of essays to be given out next year in
public schools.
Bizarrely, Trump is here linked to Farrakhan through a 2017 Tikvah Tablet article by Yair Rosenberg on the now-deposed Omarosa:
And by a recent report on Ice Cube, who has had his own issues for the Trump connection:
It is a pretty sick connect-the-dots whose aim is to shield Newhouse from being in the Lysol wheelhouse – which she emphatically is:

https://groups.google.com/g/davidshasha/c/MBv7Kkr0O4A/m/JrmDUBFPAQAJ
Indeed, just last week we had praise for the Mask-Burning Trumpscum COVID Jews by Liel Leibovitz and a blazing screed against Liberals from Bari Weiss:
https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/stop-being-shocked
https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/religion-science-coronavirus
Both articles are very useful to the Trump campaign as it seeks to shore up Jewish votes:
Tikvah Tablet has yet to publish an article on Amy Coney Barrett and the Federalist Society threat she represents:

To say that the magazine has been soft on the Murderer-in-Chief would be a serious understatement.
It is indeed ironic that the current surge of Farrakhan hate is connected to the rise in Alt-Right Trump hate:
He has had many good things to say about the Murderer-in-Chief:
“God Picked Trump”
“I Like What I’m Looking At”
The renewed popularity of Farrakhan can thus be seen as emblematic of the racism unleashed by Trump and the rise in wingnut conspiracy-mongering:
He had great hopes for White Separatist Nationalism:
It was the week after Donald Trump won the presidency. The result had delighted a new generation of white supremacists, and Farrakhan was analyzing the political landscape.
In a speech before the State of the Black World Conference in New Jersey, he warned, “The white man is going to push. He’s putting in place the very thing that will limit the freedom of others.” Then he pointed to the crowd, smiled and said, “That’s what you needed,” as motivation to finally separate from whites.
“My message to Mr. Trump: Push it real good,” Farrakhan said, building to a roar that drew applause and cheers. “Push it so good that black people say, ‘I’m outta here. I can’t take it no more.’”
After a presidential campaign that emboldened white identity politics, the Nation of Islam, a black separatist religious movement, is positioning itself as newly relevant.
Of course, the difference is that Trump is president and in control of America, and Farrakhan is the head of a relatively small fringe organization that grubs for TMZ notoriety:
2% of African-Americans are Muslim, and 2% of the 2% are Nation of Islam members.
It is in the end all about proportionality and a realistic reckoning with the dangers we face as Americans and as Jews.
Who should we fear more?
We will recall Liel Leibovitz’s ecstatic praise for Trump’s White Supremacist speech at Mount Rushmore:
https://groups.google.com/g/davidshasha/c/4HjZn-JTGZ4
As well as his effusive praise for Jordan Peele’s Black Separatist movie “Get Out”:
https://groups.google.com/g/davidshasha/c/IF6-vLJ1dvg/m/vx56NcU-BwAJ
We will also recall the Anti-Sephardi racism of Adam Kirsch:
https://groups.google.com/g/davidshasha/c/QZZmUdvALTk/m/3y0b0WWFAwAJ
And his depraved belittling of the Talmud:
https://groups.google.com/g/davidshasha/c/fDOa6iBH0eU/m/Bfw5DQ30BQAJ
I am certainly no moral relativist, and would never exonerate Farrakhan, the killer of Malcolm X:
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/farrakhan-admission-on-malcolm-x/
He is a racist and a whackjob in the usual NOI manner:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakub_(Nation_of_Islam)
But what we are seeing here is an attack on The New York Times and Liberal Jews that will certainly help Trump and not those of us who are fighting for Jewish values.
Farrakhan is a fringe kook who craves publicity, but Tikvah Tablet is a well-funded Jewish institution that has caused, and continued to cause, a great deal of actual damage to us.
Bari Weiss, Liel Leibovitz, Adam Kirsch, and Tikvah Tablet Newhouse are truly grave threats to Torah Judaism and the Sephardic heritage:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tcZ47eu45_GyLGHWIQYZiWtnTBZAgDXZVnixE0O3ZR0/edit
At this crucial time, when Newhouse should be concentrating on helping to get rid of Trump and his criminal cabal, in point of fact she is working hard to ensure his re-election. She is a racist and a duplicitous Ashkenazi PILPUL-meister who controls a Jewish empire that is destroying our sacred values.
