Closer to home, newly seated U.S. representatives Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar are both unabashed anti-Semites. In 2012, Omar tweeted that "Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel. #Gaza #Palestine #Israel." Scott Johnson at RealClearPolitics called Omar "an Islamist hater of Israel ... [who] prayed for 'Allah to awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel,' calling Israel an 'apartheid regime.'" Rashida Tlaib "wants to cut aid to the Jewish state because supporting it 'doesn't fit the values of our country.'" Tlaib was photographed with Palestinian activist Abbas Hamideh, "who said Israel did not have the right to exist, and has called for Israeli 'Zionist terrorist' Jews to return to Poland, where roughly three million Jews were killed during the Holocaust." She "headlined a BDS rally with fellow speaker, Dawud Walid, a flagrant anti-Semite who has blamed the 'wrath of Allah' on 'the Jews.'" Walid is an outspoken Islamist and the longtime head of Michigan's chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a Muslim Brotherhood creation. Palestinian activist and Women's March heroine Linda Sarsour said, "American Muslims shouldn't 'humanize' Israelis." Sarsour's also pals with Tlaib, whom she describes as her "mentor and role model." After CNN fired Marc Lamont Hill for his speech at a U.N. event endorsing "violent 'resistance' against Jews" and urging worldwide action toward "a free Palestine from the river to the sea," Tlaib demanded that CNN rehire him. Tlaib recently tweeted that senators supporting an anti-BDS bill had divided loyalties, "one of the oldest and most blatantly anti-Jewish canards." Her tweet, "[t]hey forgot what country they represent," was particularly grotesque from a woman who celebrated her election by wrapping herself in a Palestinian flag. Both Omar and Tlaib bald-facedly lied to potential voters about their support for the BDS campaign and a one-state solution that eliminates Israel, then loudly resumed their true positions after the election. The world map in Tlaib's congressional office has a Post-It note marked "Palestine" over the State of Israel.
Minnesota attorney general Keith Ellison, whose former congressional seat is now occupied by Ilhan Omar, said "that Jews were running American foreign policy." Ellison's always gotten a pass from media about his close association with "America's leading anti-Semite," the Nation of Islam's Louis Farrakhan. Maxine Waters and the Congressional Black Caucus have been "schmoozing" with Farrakhan for years. David Harsanyi wonders that the same media who "see white supremacy behind every border security measure" maintain "a track record of tenaciously ignoring the anti-Semitism creeping into Democratic Party politics." Could this be why reporter Bill McGraw is so bashful about naming the "others who hate Jews"?
Mayor O'Reilly manages to preside over a city where the "Hamas/CAIR/Muslim Brotherhood nexus" is not hard to find, where people pay extra for smuggled cigarettes to cover Hezbollah's "resistance tax," and where a thousand young men will turn out to hail Hassan Nasrallah as their leader. He may well want to censor any conversation where "Dearborn" and "anti-Semitism" are mentioned in the same sentence. He needn't have bothered this time: McGraw wasn't telling the real story anyway.
...but did Henry Ford ever wear blackface?
I thought Ford’s factory assembly lines revolutionized industry.
Is there context to link “Ford was my inspiration” to why Hitler hated Jews? Or did he seize upon assembly line thinking and apply it to death camps?
Dearbornistan is enemy occupied territory.
