CNN anchor: Jews carried out terror attacks, should they be barred from entering US?
Jerusalem Post ^ | 12-9-15

Posted on 12/09/2015 11:05:14 AM PST by SJackson

Anchor asks Trump supporter the question in response to his recent controversial comments about banning Muslims.

In reported cases of Jewish terror attacks, should all Jews be barred from obtaining visas in order to enter the United States?

This was a question posed by CNN's Ashleigh Banfield Tuesday morning during an interview with former Ronald Reagan White House administration official and current Donald Trump supporter, Jeffrey Lord, when asked if his preferred presidential candidate was not applying a double standard to Muslims.

"If you supplant the word 'Jews' for 'Muslims' in a lot of the rhetoric that we've had this morning, I think people would find it sort of cringe-worthy and reminiscent of a really ugly time in our history," Banfield said. "There have been Jewish terrorist attacks. Should we therefore ask no Jews to please apply for a visa?"

The CNN anchor then provided specifics examples: "From a period of 1980 to 1985 there were a reported 18 terror attacks committed in the United States by Jews, 15 of them committed by the Jewish Defense League," Banfield said. 'The head of the Jewish Defense league was in jail awaiting trial...accused of trying to bomb a mosque in Culver City, trying to bomb [US Congressman] Darrel Issa's office, an Arab-American."

"Are you really saying to me that there's an international Jewish conspiracy to take over the world?" Lord asked in response.

"There are no Jews coming to [the US] to destroy America," Lord added

Not unless it is obvious that they are using their religion or something else peculiar to Jews as their rationale and the population of their home countries was in turmoil involving groups of them attempting to conquer, convert, or kill the Gentiles.

Dear CNN

Please cite 10 Jewish terrorist attacks against US Citzens in the last 15 years.

So, in fact, the comparison is another idiot’s attempt at diversion to avoid discussing rational serious issues caused by Islamic terrorism.

I wonder if Ashleigh Banfield has ever stepped into our dimension and got a glimpse of reality?

So we have gone thirty years without an act of so-called Jewish terrorism, but the world has suffered something like six major Muslim attacks in the last thirty days. Who should we keep out?

Admitted terror bomber Bill Ayers, no regrets of setting bombs--quoted in the NY Times on 9/11/2001: friend of Barack Hussein Obama's.

''I don't regret setting bombs,'' Bill Ayers said. ''I feel we didn't do enough.'' Mr. Ayers, who spent the 1970's as a fugitive in the Weather Underground....

Ah good old liberals... attempting to equate the occassional one off to a 1500 year constant history of murder, oppression and evil. Jews do not preach hatred toward others, they may be pretentious at times about being the chosen people, but they do not preach that those who are not Jews should be killed simply because they are not Jews.

Another empty headed idiot given a microphone and called a journalist.

The rabid left is digging up whatever they can to find examples of terrorism, or supposed examples other than those from the religion of terror. Satan’s religion has no rivals when it comes to terrorism, past current and present. Vacuous arguments from insipid little minds can’t hold up PC crap forever. The narrative is changing.
