Explicit antisemitism in the US suddenly not newsworthy when Trump cannot be blamed (Daled Amos)

eretzyisrael:

CAMERA also refers to MEMRI, which notes that Shahin’s sermon from the previous week was along the same antisemitic lines:

May Allah protect the Al-Aqsa Mosque from the harm of the Jews. Oh Allah, protect our brothers in the land of Palestine. Oh Allah, let us pray in the Al-Aqsa Mosque before we die. Oh Allah, allow Jerusalem to be liberated. Oh Allah, liberate the Al-Aqsa Mosque from the filth of the Jews. Oh Allah, show us the wonders of Your ability that you inflict upon them. Oh Allah, show us the black day that You inflict upon them. Oh Allah, show us the black day that You inflict upon those who wish ill upon [the Al-Aqsa] Mosque. Oh Allah, keep them preoccupied with one another, and make a deterrent example out of them. Oh Allah, count them one by one and destroy them down to the very last one. Do not spare any of them. Oh Allah, destroy them and do not spare their young or their elderly. Oh Allah, show us the black day that You inflict upon those who occupy Palestine. Oh Allah, show us the wonders of Your ability that you inflict upon them. Oh Allah, turn Jerusalem and Palestine into a graveyard for the Jews.

On the other hand, The New York Times settled for a bare-bones report about the sermon, provided by the Associated Press. It noted:

In a July 21 sermon, Shahin condoned the annihilation of Jews and those restricting access to the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

The truth of course is that Shahin did not condone the annihilation of Jews – he was encouraging it. His apology is noted, but leaves unclear how an imam can talk about annihilating Jews yet can apologize – and apparently have his apology accepted.

As opposed to The Washington Post (30 paragraphs) and the Sacramento Bee (23 paragraphs) which go into depth in their whitewash of Shahin’s sermon, The New York Times uses the AP story, which amounts to playing down the incident in 9 short paragraphs, as if the whole thing is not worth the reader’s attention.

How did Jew-hatred suddenly become so unworthy of being considered a news item?

Trump should only be so lucky.

Someone Jewish: [Brings up the privilege light skinned Jews experience as part of addressing colorism within Jewish communities]

Me: Nice

Someone Goyische: [Brings up the privilege light skinned Jews experience as a way to lump them in with white people and erase and/or minimize their identities as Jews and the struggles they face with antisemitism]

Me: Not nice

Reverse holocaust?

So my boss (a 40 something, straight, loves mansplaining man) came into the office yesterday afternoon and started talking to me. And he was trying to explain to me that every war is based in economics, that racism doesn’t exist, and shit like that and wouldn’t even let me talk. 

Now bear in mind, I am a 22 year old lesbian and JEWISH woman and he just says: “And look at world war 2, I mean I know the holocaust was terrible but if [the nazis] hadn’t done anything the tables would have turned. We we going towards a reverse holocaust” (translated from what he said in spanish obviously) 

“a reverse holocaust” 

“a reverse holocaust”

“a reverse holocaust”

“a reverse holocaust” 

My boss told me that the dirty jews were planning to kill everyone because they supposedly had more money or some shit. 

I tried to talk to him about it but he kept changing the topic and wouldn’t let me speak. 

Oh my G-d, I can’t wait until I get the hell out of my internship and get my diploma. 

I’m so sorry you have to deal with that…. 

and… I’m so tired…
