Farrakhan: Obama is targeted by U.S. Jewish lobby, Zionists

I agree with Louis Farrakhan about the need of a public discussion about the death figures of the holocaust. And a public discussion is needed with Jews asked to tell why they are anti-Jesus. For they do not believe in, nor care for, Jesus.

nope I am equally disturbed by all, not just jews, yes it is true

yes, I sure as hell do

Wow, at least we see the truth of the Jew Haters. So much for I can have a political opinion about Israel that different or critical without being antisemitic. BS, after reading these vicious and hateful talkbacks don't ever tell me that again. Your opinions about Israel are based on your hatred for Jewish people. How could anyone who reads these evil and malicious slander against a entire group of people think anything different.

farrakhan is a righteous man of honesty and can be compared to Dr Martin luther king and Ghandhi. Aipac,jewish propaganda media, control through blackmail,bribes or extortion the washington psychopaths and greedy sychophantic money worshipping system. There was a COUP.We are the united states of Isra-hell,ruled by luciferians. The former USA is a fascist,dictatorship,determined by the Diebold machines.

Exactly what part of what the Minister said is untrue? Folks know truth when they hear it. The minister is the most loved black leader today, excepting Obama. I don't know if Obama could command 1 million black men to show up on a given day as he did. Whites may think he is inconsequential, but the truths that he taught have stood the test of time. Truth is a very difficult pill to swallow. He only said what many others are thinking but are afraid to say. You know it, Congress knows it, Carter et al knows it and so do you. Those who speak truth are antisemites. I guess Jesus was an antisemite. THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE!!!

facts in America proves Minister Farrakhan is right.

AIPAC is composed of American citizens who are lobbying their government around issues that are important to them and to the US; no different from any of the many other groups (Cuban-Americans, Irish-Americans, Arab-Americans) that lobby to have their voices heard in Washington.

about "we control America" was shown many years ago to be a fabrication; he never said it. It first appeared in an Arab newspaper, then was picked up by some journalists in the West who saw a translation of the article and printed the quote without bothering to check the source. One of them was a journalist who wrote for one of my home town papers in Chicago, which later on published the full story of how the quote was fabricated.

How odd that so many would have such intense responses to someone who has not amounted to anything for so long. This joker, Louis Farrakhan, has been a nothing of no consequences for so long that few in America or the world remember when he and Malcolm announced that because no one could know, their new names would be X. I know what the real name of Malcolm Little was, he changed it to Malcolm X. What was Louis X's name before he changed it, and whacked Malcolm Little, aka, Malcolm X? Everyone in the world, reach out to your toilet. Push the lever down, and flush Louis Farrakhan to the only place he is worthy of.

Louis X. The man who I think ordered the murder of Malcolm X. What can I say about him. He is the ultimate past tense. A man who has become useless to everyone but himself. And a man who has nothing to contribute aside from a momentary orgasm for the radical right. The reality? In the post-Obama age Louis X speaking to no one is nothing informing nothing.

Reading these posts have left me laughing and appalled. The easiest way to US highway 59 is up Bintliff. Anyone driving that route will pass the Madrasqah Islamiah, at 6665 Bitnliff Drive. When driving to work a decade ago, or to a client in the last year early in the morning I have had to be aware of the 'threat' of people going to morning prayers. The ONLY time this worried me was in the year after 9-11 when the 'threat' of driving into a person going to prayer was diminished for a reason I can only think was fear. I do not ascribe to ANY religion. Indeed I consider religion the ONLY communicable form of mental illness. But I understand that a great many humans draw benefit from, and ethical direction from, religion. If someone is so feeble as to have no moral compass aside from religion, or if they draw sustenance from the idea that there is something beyond reality, then I am not willing to disillusion them. I would rather they have their illusions than any personal victory

"What if we have a single Jew in the asylum who thinks that he is Napoleon? Does this change the picture any?" You're the one who claimed "perception is reality." Reality is a bit larger than perception.

when Adolf Hitler and a Black man hold the same views

Why bother printing what some fringe figure such as Farrakhan says? We're just giving him the attention that he wants.

Old hatred out of his mouth once again. Inferior piece of garbage.

As the economic situation for Black peoples in the USA becomes improved to the point where they are closer to the mid-point or upper lower level of the economic ladder, Farrakhan's influence will decrease steadily to the point where his primary audience will be ex-convicts and those who have absolutely no social connection whatsoever to the American societal makeup.

that everyone knows. The party is coming to an end Israel, the world is realizing what you are. Cash in your chips, the hammer's coming down. The civilized world is all but out of patience with you.

Ever notice, Swiss, how you're consistently one of the first bigots out of the chute to say something extremely hateful about Jews, and how that comment spurs half a dozen postings (rightfully) accusing you of anti-semitism, and how you then reply that your initial comment was misunderstood? It's the same pattern over and over again, every day. Your genetic hatred of Jews is an insult to you and your ancestors. The fact that you deny your anti-semitism is an insult to us. Do us all a big favor already, Dino. Stop insulting our intelligence. We Jews are professionals at recognizing anti-semitism. We've had 5,000 years of experience at it. You, on the other hand, are a mere amateur. Hate us of you must. But, for goodness sake, don't pee on our legs and tell us its raining.

What do you expect him to say?

So comical. You know AIPAC is the most powerful lobby in the US. Forbes magazine ranked it as such as well. Why the fear? You know that when Americans finally wake up and realize what is happening in the US govt, they will take back their country. It scares the hell out of you doesn't it? No more dual citizens running our US Govt with allegiance first to Israel. Stop taking our hard earned tax dollars!

Mr. Slowman, We know, and you yourself know, that you are extremely and awfully slow as a censor. It is a fact which may have a good physical explanation. Let me mention to you a couple of points which may make you less than so terribly irritating. 1. You can barely service 1-2 forums and have little or no time for the rest. Why put up 4-5 forums for discussion? All you do is waste people`s time by getting them to write comments which never see the light of day. As soon as you decide which forums should remain, REMOVE THE OTHERS. They can be reinstated when your fully-abled replacement shows up. Do not irritate people and you will be treated better. 2. DO NOT DISAPPEAR FOR HOURS. Better give posters some hope that you are not lost. Dedicate some 10 minutes every hour to doing your censorship job and then go back to your other chores. You may not be happy about our criticism, but you can reduce the irritation by acting more reasonably. Thank you for your understanding. "The dying, the cripple, the mental, the unwanted, the unloved, they are Jesus in disguise." - Mother Teresa

well good for obama all time looking to his own interst

that although Christmas is celebrated throughout the US, those people who are not Christians can take time off for their holidays. I wish that this were true. I was working for an editor who complained that I did not come to work on Yom Kippur, even though I had told him I would be at services. He complained to the publisher and I lost my job. I got a better one, but it is not true that Jews automatically get holy days as holidays. Indeed on one newspaper for which I worked, it was assumed that Jewish reporters and editors would work on Christmas to ensure the newspaper got published. We were not given time off for the High Holy Days.

Malcolm X was quoted as saying the assasination of President Kennedy was "chickens coming home to roost". Lots of care about a US president for all to see.

One doesn't hide the words of the hate mongers, one exposes them. Indeed, that is why there was such a concern with President Obama. His own church presented the Minister with an award of honor, and no less a persona than Reverend Wright honored Farrakhan.

Why all the muslim complaint about Israel they should move to the middle east and help their brother and stop crying God bless Israel

critical of Israel will be targeted by the Jewish lobby and no effort will be spared to discredit him/her. Goldstone, Carter, US congressmen on recent visit to Israel..... Shall I go on with names?

No one in U.S. media dares to criticize Israel. Israelis (such as Haaretz) can criticize Israel but no one in main stream American media dares to criticize Israel and I watch a lot of U.S. news channels to know that. We are a small minority in terms of population in U.S., but there is a disproportionate number of us having big powers because we control the media, banks, Hollywood etc, etc. Does any one recall ever seeing a Hollywood movie where the villain is Jewish? They can be of any faith but Jewish faith. Now every AIPAC supporter who reads this is going to accuse me of being anti-semite, however I am just a concerned Jew who has a conscience.......Oh now they will call me a self hating Jew.

""Ask Cynthia McKinney. Ask David Hilliard. Ask our mayor in Oakland, California. Ask [former Illinois Senator Charles] Percy. Ask Jimmy Carter. You can't criticize, you can't say nothing because if you do, you're branded as an anti-Semite."" The guy may be a racist scumbag, but he's right. You can't criticize Israel in any way, shape, or form. Just ask J Street, who represents many Jews in this country who actually believe in peace, a concept foreign to AIPAC. "The first thing anti-Semites on this talkback feature now do is proclaim that critics of Israel are called "anti-Semites" Riiight, because that's not exactly what Israel apologists do. The first thing they do is scream anti-Semite whenever even a whisper critical of Israel is uttered. You can deny it all you want, but the truth is that AIPAC does indeed have undue influence in American politics. It is a cancer, a blight upon this country. They know nothing of compromise, or of diplomacy. They know only of blood and conflict.

Farakhan's big mouth. Since the Negro slaves of America have shaken off their shackles,we have seen brilliant sportsmen,like Jessie Owens,Joe Louis & a host of others,in every field of sport. But regrettably few & far in the sciences. Nothing that has made any impact on the world scene.And nowhere like the great Jewish minds who,in every diverse scientific field have left an everlasting legacy for the benefit of mankind. Millions owe their very personal health & well being for the great inventions that the Jews made in medicine,for example. Sorry to say that the Negroes,although far outnumbering the Jewish populstion in the States Have shown no such aptitude in making a mark in those fields. Take the South Koreans,e.g.and see what huge progress they have made since the end of WW2. They were not daunted even after the invading Japanese turned their women-folk into.'Comfort Women' The cruelty of man knows no bounds !

Every time we do something, you [Shimon Peres] tell me America will do this and will do that..... I want to tell you something very clear: Don`t worry about American pressure on Israel. We, the Jewish people, control America, and the Americans know it." Ariel Sharon Israeli Prime Minister Knesset, Tel Aviv October 3, 2001

The ignorance here clearly states that I as a Jew am supposed to be a part of some world conspiracy, where I own banks, controle governments, and destroy lives...... So Am I the only Jew who didnt get invited to the Rule The WOrld meeting? because Im broke and nobody listens to me.

The ignorance here clearly states that I as a Jew am supposed to be a part of some world conspiracy, where I own banks, controle governments, and destroy lives...... So Am I the only Jew who didnt get invited to the Rule The WOrld meeting?

When AIPAC cracks the whip, congressman jump. Unfortunately it's made the US complicit with Israeli apartheid.

If you think Minister Farrakahn is right, then you are an anti-semite!

What if we have a single Jew in the asylum who thinks that he is Napoleon? Does this change the picture any? Could he be Napoleon and all the other Napoleons crazy? Obviously Farrakhan is a radical and he lumps Jews in with the white man, which is not really fair since we are Semites, no?

I ask you: who comes across as more honest: Louis Farrakhan or Abe Foxman? Nuff said.

Why would American Jews "target" the President of the U.S.? It doesn't make sense.

"Farrakhan is telling the truth as far as I can see it" Mohammed, why don't you and your kind get the hell out of our country and move to some Moslem country. We don't need backwards islamic people like you to spread anti jew hate. It's your kind that was responsible for 9/11

Even after Scott Brown is elected to office (by Jews?). Obama holds his health care summit. Americans watch the Democrats continue launching headlong into an unpopular policy instead of facing the issues Americans believe are most important. Obama is caught in lie upon lie. What to do? Blame the Jews (the majority of which voted for him). You anti-Semites are pathetic... The whole lot of you. Truly, you are.

I would just like to thank Haaretz for providing this forum. Anyone who thinks Aipac enjoys alot of influence is absolutely correct. BUT what are they up against. 1.5 billion muslims in 57 countries who also control the vast majority of worlds oil and gas resources. Now that is real power Once again I would like to thank you for providing this forum. When I read some of the talkbacks after many of your articles, I am reassured in the knowledge that nothing has changed. Classic antesemitism is alive and well.It may take the guise of anti Israeli criticism or just open and undiguised Jew hatred. Normal people will see it for what it is, viciuos bigotry and racism. Whilst Israel may not be perfect, who is, there is no doubt that it is the best thing to happen to the jews in the last 2000 years.

For anyone that denies or dismisses Farahkan's influence over Black people you are wrong. He is that same nut that organized that RACIST million man march. Don't call it racist? What if a white man organized the million (or even 10 million) man march for the betterment of white people, to protect white people and white unity!

Look at that white outfit the malicious Farakhan is wearing. All he needs is a pointed cone hat....and definitely a pillow case to cover his vile face. Hi white apparel he must imagine to connote purity and to appeal to white antisemites. His audience extends far into the black non moslem community also. My money is on the white KKK. Farakhan deserves a horrible fate for this blatant instigation against American Jewery.

Geez, look at all the whiners. Haven't heard anybody dispute the truth of what this man says. He has brass cajones, that's true, and that sets him apart from others who know what he says is true but are afraid to say so. Black folks love Min. Farrakan. Remember the Million Man March. Nobody living today can tell 1 million + black folks to show up on a given day at a given hour except Farrakhan. 20,000 folks in person, more listening on TV and radio. Jesus said "the truth shall set you free". The Minister is the most powerful black minister in America. As usual, the 'antisemitic' criers are out in force, ignoring the truth of the matter. If one speaks truth about Jews, you are antisemitic. We get it. Do you? Carter and many others said it, many more are saying it, get used to it.

The US is not a Christian state, and your maintainlng it is so is just more evidence on how distanced you are from reality. Nobody is in any way disadvantaged for their religion in the US, and in fact there are regularly suits brought against emblems of Christianity on public land (most, if not all, win). Your problem is that if you admit the reality that the US is religion neutral, you will have to admit the egregious nature of the religious bigotry in Israel. After reviewing all the ways gentiles are disadvantaged in Israel for their religion, cite one instance of such disadvantage in the US. By the way, it points out some of the nature of your problem that you can't engage in a civil conversation without spilling over into insults. As for my brain, I got 1590 on my GREs.

When a people are failures, they have to blame the people they are jealous of, the Jews. Just like the parasite arabs, they contribute nothing and believe in a political cult, islam. They use the hate of my people to unite their brain washed followers who can't think for themselves.

, even though you are a master of it , does not change anything . But since WE JEWS already control everything in America and soon , in the whole world , as the Great Book of yours predicts and describes , we have nothing to worry about . So calm down with your cheese comments , often those are crystal clear , as this last one was .

NOT once ever.

I hope it will be an official holiday when Fartinacan kicks the bucket.....none too soon.

....not exact enough with your wording: I didn't speak about Israel/Right-wing U.S.lobby controling "U.S. foreign policy", but rather controling "U.S. foreign policy related to the ME". Small, but pretty important difference. And whatever the Constitution may say in theory, in practise the U.S. president remains an eternal prisoner of the Congress. If enough Congressmen/women (especially within his own Democratic party) threaten Obama with letting him down on health care,job creation etc if he doesn't continue to support Netanyahu and friends, he will have to forget very quickly about his "inner conscience".... But who knows, maybe you are right, and I'm wrong, if we will see the Obama administration cutting its financial aid for Israel into half over the next 3 months for ignoring the Road Map obligations, you were right. If he doesn't, then I'm afraid you were wrong.

"Must be some truth, based on hysterical responses. " Maybe some people have a strong aversion to blatant racism. "Perception unfortunately is reality." Are all those people in insane asylums, who believe they are Napoleon truly Napoleon to anyone but themselves? You think the Jews are causing Obama to look bad or is he doing that for himself?

Perception unfortunately is reality. We had better start digging ourselves out of this self-made hole.

"but the anti-semite default mechanism is falling on deaf ears" You mean, stating that Jews are controlling America, causing Obama to languish, and be a one-term president isn't anti-Semitic? Do we hear the same kind of crap from you when African Americans get incensed about the "N-word," or the Rodney King beating? Do you have as much trouble with African Americans and the NAACP standing up for themselves in the face of racism? Or just Jews?

i agree with him totally,,,,,,,,,,,money talks,,,,,,,,,,,,,may god bless bro farrah k,

'... the word "anti-Semitic" has become a synonym for the word "truth"'. Sure, you didn't personally mention the Jews controlling the banks and the media. I've heard that rubbish from other anti-Semites again and again. The point you failed to understand is that your assertion 'the Jews control US foreign policy through the Congress' falls right in line with those kinds of anti-Semitic statements. And all of it tosh. Let me correct your 'truth' on another point of fact, too: the US Constitution gives control of foreign policy to the President, *not* to Congress. Of course, in your little Orwellian world, I'm sure your falsehoods remain 'the truth' ... no matter what the Constitution, or anything or anyone else, says.

"You keep bringing up the red herring of closing on holidays. Please cite any ways in which Jews are disadvantaged in the US because of their religion ?" Listen, dipstick, "concerned American" puked up some nonsense about Israel needing to be a secular state. Meanwhile, the U.S. is a Christian state as are most countries in Europe. The "red herring" here is calling for Israel to be more secular than anyone else. Now, run along until you grow a brain.

"Has anyone examined his remarks closely? The wording may be in question but the essence of his remarks are TRUE." Except Jews voted for Obama... and it's Obama's disproportionate focus on healthcare, rather than the economy which is causing him to lose popularity, dope.

"Israelis may think it us just representing Israel`s interests. That however is the problem, many see it as acting on behalf of a foreign power. I don't suppose you can imagine any other lobbies which affect governments on behalf of foreign nations, can you? You only gibber about AIPAC. Do you think the oil lobby (the world over) is more or less powerful, loony?

it's curious how so many of you subscribe to a document that has been proven to be a lie. nkvd or rather the czars secret police produced this forgery to inspire pogroms...in fact, most of the world media is decidedly anti israel...so the crap that jews control the world media is ridiculous. Banking you say? most bankers are wasps... as for farakhan, he is a total wingnut. he should be dealt with. all of you who would follow farakhan only show your real reasons for being here..jew hate. every country, industry, group have lobbies. Israel's lobby is effective. Is that a problem? Israel's lobby does a great job supporting a democratic, liberal, free, peace loving israel. There is nothing to be ashamed in this. Israel's lobby is moral whereas the muslim lobby in the UN is a world wide joke. so? What about the muslim lobby in the UN? eh? My question is, what is the relationship between farakhan, reverend wright, jesse jackson and obama

Can you criticize Moslems in Denmark? Take off your blinders!

As far as you can see it is all the way to Saudi Arabia, the biggest lobby of all.

Obama is "targeted" by all the people who disagree with him on any number of issues. It's called democracy.

in Stupid America you can critisize G-d but never israel

....how GREAT you are/were ("Don't worry, Shimon Peres, we control America"). Oh my Goodness, he must have been even more anti-Semitic than me, since I dont't believe that you control ALL of America (business, culture, sports, beauty contests, pets etc...:).

saying the usa is living on the rest of the world with devalued $$$$? israel is not your business ca is not mine , so why post garbage ??

About Swiss(Dino): I thought I had cleared that out long time ago.

Well, at least SOMEONE from from the left has finally acknowledged that Obama does in fact have a problem. Naturally someone has to take the blame for Barry's plummeting poll numbers because ardent Obama supporters cannot ever bring themselves to lie the blame at their annointed one's feet ~ where it belongs.

Jews control American policies . It is nice to hear from your kinds how great WE are . So remind it more often that WE will not forget it . It Sounds almost like "Internacionale Jude", but it is still a pleasure to hear it again and again and ....

...."don't get it anymore", but now you don't even seem to be able to read (my posts) correctly, and that is a rather troubling thing indeed...:) If you try it again, I dont' think I mentioned a word about "banks" and "the world", all I said was, that Israel controls (through Congress) U.S. foreign policy related to the ME, and that the Obama administration (like any previous one) is subject to heavy pressure from right-wing and mainstream pro-Israel lobby groups. And yes, it's true, I forgot the "mainstream media" overseas, which is far away from being an independent media when it comes to Israel/Palestine. If believing in those 3 points make me in any way "anti-Semitic", then I have no problem at all with that, on the contrary, then I'm very proud of it. Because then, the word "anti-Semitic" has become a synonym for the word "truth"....

I'll give you a hint Lee.It is against our laws for a foreign government to lobby our government.AIPAC skirts the law by claiming they are only an educational organization.If you believe that you need to get back on your meds and increase the doseage.

'When pretty much every little child on this planet knows, that Israel and her right-wing Diaspora brethren overseas control U.S. foreign policy...' Right. The Jews control the banks. The jews control the US. The Jews control the media. The Jews control the world. I've heard it all before, a million times, and I know exactly what it all means. I know Farrakhan is a vicious anti-Semite. But up until now, I've honestly questioned whether you are, too. Thanks for clearing that up. MV

When pretty much every little child on this planet knows, that Israel and her right-wing Diaspora brethren overseas control U.S. foreign policy (at least the one related to the ME) through Congress. And of course Barack Obama (as any other U.S. president) is under constant pressure from right-wing Zionist lobby groups, really no-news to anyone.... So Farrakhans outbursts (and exaggerations) were as useless as a goitre....

Since the Arab lobbies outnumber the Israeli lobbies by over 3 to 1 we can see how effective they are. They got born enemies i.e. KKK, Neo-Nazi's and Farrakhan to agree on something. Remember the Arab strategy of "My enemies, enemy is my friend". The so-called moderate Arab/Muslim nation friends are only that way because of a common enemy, Iran. Just as the U.S. protected Kuwait from Saddam they rely on the U.S. to help them against Iran. We have no common values in a cultural sense and they teach hatred of Western Democracy. We all saw the images of the Muslim world dancing in celebration after 9/11. Israel is a friend because we share common values not just the money as the cynics would have you believe. After 9/11 they didn't dance but mourned, that is except for the Palestinians who danced till the sun went down.

So what is the implication here? Is it that there is no cohesive Jewish lobby that influences American politics, or just that anyone who says so is 'anti-Semitic'? Or that Farrakhan is a bad boy and got a well deserved spanking from that fat swine Abe Foxman? You Jews are so pathetic. Who needs 'anti-Semitism' to originate from gentiles when half the Jews actively try to get the other half killed anyway?

in that the lobby really hates Obama. Yet it is now clear that Obama is powerless and lobby now realized that its worries were unnecessary. Obama is powerless to do anything about health, about war in Iraq or about the Palestinians. The lobby and the weapon producers and other big bosses are too powerful, the only thing Obama can do is to sit quetly until his term passes.

How dare they organize and speak their minds. Why can't they be like other people. :)

how do you know it doesn't bother me? it does as well, comfortable in California? news flash, this state is dying rapidly, we were dropping thoughts on above article so I was sticking to that, I agree with you on most of what you said, take care

Of course AIPAC is to blame. It was for decades a secret in the US but apparently AIPAC has lost control over their invisibility. We all know in Europe AIPAC has only one goal: to warmonger, to keep Israel the most powerful country in the region. Soon the majority of white trash Americans will wake up and understand who's controlling their government.

yes it has been addressed, we have military engaged in a few Muslim countries, endless plots, I'd say the geo-political over-reaction speaks for itself

they weren't related paragraphs, I was just stating some important points, do you think I don't know about the strategic military alliance we have with Israel, we have bases all over this planet,ok I should have stuck to one point I will give you that, I know alot of really great Jewish people and love them very much, can't I be critical of our obvious sister nation? I criticize mine all of the time, don't take it personal, we don't make the decisions on foreign policy, but the anti-semite default mechanism is falling on deaf ears and dismisses any rational forward thinking, I mean coming from a simple goyim sharecropper with no pies to sell

I don't know why all the fuss regarding Farrakan, to me he always looked and still sounds like a gigolo of the 19th century. Passe a long time ago....!Yesterday's relique.

Just read Ha'aretz's headlines today and it becomes clear who is pushing the world to WWIII. Congress won't pass healthcare or the jobs bill but resolutions for sanctions and wars that benefit Israel have bipartisan support. It's no wonder Americans feel that our government is out of order and out of touch with the people.

Let Us make man in our image. The Lord + moshe. MR. louis fairy-con. Hmm? what type of support is he conjuring up now? He never shuts up so the timing is ironic. Oh well he will just blame it on a serpent too. Trapped! The words trapped them all. Ok Mr. fairy-con we know that serpents don't talk. So what do you really have to say? He has a mouth of poison and knoweth not. Let me shut my mouth lest he get a blessing.

very well said. regards, cipora

Why does Haaretz give a stage to this dufus? Why would anybody pay attention to Farrakhan, except for his very limited followers in the Nation of Islam church or the right wing zealots who cannot live without hearing his pronouncements so they can denounce them/him? Did anybody report this guy's words in the US?

Refreshing to hear, out of the US, the voice of someone who is not on AIPAC`s payroll.

Somehow that does not seem to bother you.If the US is "broke" why not? Goldstone is NOT in the interest of the US soldier fighting terrorists embedded amongst civillians.It denies the realities of warfare where a US soldier does not know from one second to another which child or adult will fire at him or explode next to him Why does that not bother you,pontificating comfortably in CA.? Where did you get your" most US citizens would not mind-" figures from? Care to quote the survey? PS Farrakhan IS an Islamofascist antisemite "These false Jews promote the filth of Hollywood that is seeding the American people and the people of the world and bringing you down in moral strength?It's the wicked Jews the false Jews that are promoting Lesbianism, homosexuality. It's wicked Jews, false Jews that make it a crime for you to preach the word of God, then they call you homophobic!" Saviours' Day, Chicago, Illinois, 2/26/06

instead of posting total garbage try fact the usa does not give sums to israel it subsidises the us arms industry. the usa uses israel as fort america in the mideast.

You keep bringing up the red herring of closing on holidays. Please cite any ways in which Jews are disadvantaged in the US because of their religion ?

Islamofascist is looking for a scapegoat.! How very traditional of him. His ranting will help unseat Obama amongst normal Americans if they see any connection between these haters and the President

The killing of US officers by a Moslem soldier? The endless plots against the USA?

kills the President and turns the White House into a Mosque. Does anybody remember these sudden super patriots protesting?

It is a bit more complicated. Jews and blacks are natural allies about a lot of issues: liberal values, minority rights, diversity, universalism... Both groups are loyal democrats.There is frustration due to the lack of progress in the ME peace process.

when he was visiting brother Ghaddafi. He is an an equal opportunity hater.

to Judaism and elected persident of a particularly vicious sect to hunt down rest of us.

It is obvious you are not the brightest star in the sky, yet you write as if you think you are. I read two of your posts and was amazed at your distortion of facts and impressions. No, Israel is not 100% Jewish, and yes other holidays are celebrated. In fact the national day of Sabbath is Saturday, just as it was in Christianity before the Council of Nicea changed it to Sunday. The Moslem day of Sabbath is Friday, and thus their schools and places of work are closed. Israel employs a parlimentary system, thus opening itself to religious parties whether Jewish or Moslem, thus giving religious groupings a voice in the making of both law and policy. This is not a theocracy, no matter what your navel is telling you. I suggest you are ignorant with regards to the workings of the Jewish state. When one knows little they should write even less. As for not condeming Farakhan in your posts, this points to racism at the core of your areguments. Be well.

Please understand that these people really mean a world without Jews/Israel, they don't mince their words.

Time as we know it we shall know no more. The Water Bearer has arrived to open the 3rd Eye Door; awakening our deepest conscious-selves- just in time to ride the next Wave beyond 2012. The MINISTER has administered his balm to Gilead. He has fulfilled his covenant with Allah by sounding "the trumpet" of unadulterated Truth to the blind, deaf, and dumb, as well as to Pharoah, the Scribes, the Sorcerers, and the so-called learned/lettered. He has and continues to be mocked, maligned, and vilified. Like his people, he's despised and rejected. The masses (majority-asses) have crucified him. Now it's TIME for the Winds to blow on the Bones in the Valley of the Shadow of Death. I pray that Allah(God) and the Angels reign fire & brimstone on Sodom & Gomorrah PART TWO. For ALL the naysayers and disbelievers, watch what happens when Bro. Farrakhan departs from us! The Shock of the Hour is a grievous thing! As Arnie would say, "Stick Around!"

All of his points would be valid if he had used the word "Zionists" instead of "Jews." Now it is up to the Jews with conscience (non-Zionist Jews) to speak out against the atrocities Zionists are committing in the world.

America's elected representatives still give Israel gargantuan sums of our tax money while our country is beyond broke, nice! The UN General Assembly must accept the Goldstone Report and place war crimes charges against Israeli political and military figures at the International Court of Justice and the trials should take place in Nuremberg. Pipe down with the term "anti-semitic", its ineffective tired drival, that is "nutty" - quit crying wolf and take critical observations for once. I have a jewish friend who asked me if I liked his shirt, I said: "no" - he replied: "your just anti-semitic" -we both started laughing our asses off. Most US citizens would not mind if we didn't have diplomatic relations with Israel. Its a fact.

Or is it a matter of who controls America's media and monetary system?

All the truth and nothing but the truth so help me god.

I had to read your post to see if you were talking about Farrakhan or Foxman.

Because american majority Jews are against bigotry.

Maybe next time Farrakhan goes for a ride on one he will ask our beloved President Obama to accompany him? He's probably never been on a real flying saucer before like Farrakhan has.

He forgets that amongst whites, Jews were in the very forefront of the civil rights movement to break the chains of racism that enthralled black people in the U.S. Think protest rally against racism, think Bob Dylan; and that was long before it was politically correct!

it mean that society should be silent about this evil person and the movement that he leads, or rather we should condemn with every opportunity this spewing of hatred of Jews...??

Let us watch the Israeli Lobby demand from Obama a strong condemnation of Farrakhan's remarks. In fact, to prove he is right, let us watch Congress pass a resolution condemning his remarks - like they have nothing better to do. Also, to prove he is right, .......actually we don't need any proof he is right and not just right, but 150% right regarding the tactic of being smeared with the "anti-semitic" label. He didn't even finish the speech before the holocaust industry issued a statement that was released by it's spokesman Foxman. It's laughable. Why doesn't Foxman deny that "former" Goldman Sachs henchmen now run the treasury department? This is a criticism that comes from people all across the political, racial and economic line. It's called adding 2 plus 2 and getting 4.

Farrakhan used to be financially supported & rethorically influenced by the loudmouth of Lybia Muammar Gaddafi. Could his master's voice be now in Iran? Iran is currently financing an other rabbidly antisemitic individual in France named Dieudonne, a stand up comedian who has admited the funding. These rogue islamist leaders are just trying to inflame racial tensions to steer up troubles in the western societies they hate & fear for their survival

This was my exact point earlier. It is completely tactless and juvenile to throw the term anti semitism around so freely. Criticism of Israel's political decisions does not make one an anti semite. It just doesn't. Just as being critical of the Unites States does not make you unpatriotic. In fact, it is quite the opposite. True patriots question our decision makers.

Making holocoast deniel illegal does not make others more loving for Jews. It might have the opposite effect. To stop hatred toward the Jews, tell Israel to stop acting like Nazis in the name of Jews.

Is Israel comprised of one hundred percent Jewish citizens? It should not be considered a Jewish state. In my country we celebrate a vast variety of holidays. Most of which a given celebrator will be given time off of work. This is true for Jewish holidays, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, etcetera. Do you not understand this? Save your sarcasm. Religion has no place in politics. If you do your homework you will find the vast majority of US politicians, excluding a few radicals, believe in separation of Church and State. Yes, we celebrate Christmas as a country, we were founded by Christians. This does not mean that literal interpretations of any book have any place in government. Iran included. I'm not bashing Israel only. The US is included as well if you like in some far right wing southern states.

What causes alarm for me is the hateful rhetoric that has increased dramatically in many rural areas of the country. I live in NYC. On the subway in the morning there's a Christian to my right, a Muslim to my left, a Buddhist in front of me and an Atheist behind me. We're all just trying to get to work on time. But, I spend my day talking to individuals on the phone who sit in their cars while heading to work and allow Rush and Palin to tell them how they should think and feel as "True" Americans. They want to bring back literacy test at ballot booths, and demand that Obama present his birth certificate. They bring guns to rallies, and proudly wear the confederate flag. Scary times indeed.

So, Israel can't be a Jewish state, it has to be a religious state. What about all the Islamic states that are far less secular than is Israel? Same? And what about the celebration of Jewish holidays, you know the kind of thing that happens in America at X-Mas? Is that out to? If so, are you outraged by X-Mas holidays/ One obvious sign of anti-semites is that they have special elevated standards for Jews & the State of Israel. Farrakhan has just that. According to Farrakhan, when Jews defend themselves, they 'slaughtering others'. I need not go on. He & you are, as they say in the good old U.S., full of it.

This is ridiculous. Jews are the group that has supported Obama more than any other group other than African Americans. If Obama is losing support - he is losing middle class independent white non-Jewish voters - classic swing voters. But since this group is large and seemingly more angry Farrakhan goes after Jews.

Minister Farrakhan better hope that the hotel where is staying has excellent security.

Dear Mr. Farrakhan, The more you speak, the more idiotic, ignorant and uninformed you sound. I hope the Grim Reaper has you on his short list...we won't miss you, I promise :)

Some of the things that Farakhan is saying regarding the Zionist Lobby's influence over Congress and the White House is undoubtedly true and is NOT, as Foxman, is saying anti-Semitic. I agree that other statements that Farrakhan made in the past were indeed anti-Semitic. As to Foxman, most Americans with informed knowledge, including my fellow enlightened Jews, do not consider him a "civil rights" leader. He he is a right-wing lobbyist on behalf of Israeli governments. His ADL's mission to to violate the civil rights of those who legitimately criticize Israel, like its Gaza massacre.

Very well said, facts are disclosed in the open air which is open secret, nasty AIPAC is gradually eating out the core value of US congress and society, congressmen already bought out and lost their ethics except the jews issues simply because they have sold their souls to AIPAC such as hillary clinton and kerrry now visiting israel. Now, jews will say this is anti-semitism.

Why "Minister" (Christian Protestant preacher) and not Sheikh or Mufti? What is he ashamed of? And, if he is so proud of his African ancestry (and why not?) why Islam, a religion invented by an Arab and forced upon others. Why not the original African religion of his forefathers, the slaves? And why french "Louis" and not an African name?

Farrakhan's speech this past weekend is quite similar to that of the Rev. Wright. In this speech, Farrakhan also stated that the president was FORCED to disassociate himself from him, because of the Jews. Some six or seven months ago, the Rev. Wright stated that he had to stay away from the president, "Because of them Jews." Later in the day, he "corrected" himself, stating that he had to stay away from the president, "Because of them Zionist." Not surprising, prior to the presidential election, Farrakhan was honored by the Rev. Wright in Wright's church.

I don't think Haaretz will post this but I'll say it anyway: Minister Farrakhan, you are an idiot, my pet pig is smarter than you are.

Farrakhan is the spawn of a germophobe's reluctance to use someone elses bathroom soap. He is only pro-racist in a libertarian way. He thinks that because he can raise a following he is right of his psycho-social and despicably disruptive and destructive influence. Just because he wears a hat doesn't mean he has something under his skullcap to share with anyone!! I will not accredit his obtuse and irrelevant remarks with any greater insight to a near and farsighted man of no regard.

The only reason why people are paying attention to him is that he's able to latch onto the President via ethnicity. A racist is as a racist does. If he had any credibility he'd be talking about how race is a mixed issue with class in the US, not about how we're all being oppressed by wallstreet suits. All those Goldman Sachs people MUST be part of the zionist conspiracy, they work with banks and thus with jews; they should be punished. Ignorance and bigotry apparently has the same time tested appeal that applies to being tall, dark and handsome. Real class act.

Well his organization has been almost dead. All we need is a rebirth of the Black Panthers and the Nation of Islam and the NAACP is going to hell in a hand basket.

Take it from a "Brit" to know all about the US. Sam knows as much about the US as I do about the UK. I do read history books though. If the Jewish lobby "controlled" the US government, things would be a lot different. There would be no pressure to refrain from building in Judea and Samaria for instance. Sam, due some reading on geopolitics. The UK has some experience in that area. Louis Farrakhan is a racist bigot. He should be getting a real job, or coaching little league baseball or soccer. He would rather be a mouthpiece for racism. Watch out for false prophets!

its to bad Lincoln did not remove the slaves when he had the chance. now we hard working citizens of the USA must suffer the consequences

Anything new here? "the leader of Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan as saying on Monday."

ident because of his policies and incompetence and not because of Jews and whites. Farrakhan is a low soul who preaches hate against whites and Jews and has done so all his life. He is doing obama more harm with his mouth and his ignorance.He is an Islamist extremist who hates the US

This guy comes, and tells you the truth, one man who has the confidence to enlighten you as to what is really going on while you are sipping your over sized Coca Cola, and stuffing yourselves with the even more over sized McDonald's burger up there in good old America. Your "dealer" keeps you happy, and addicted to your "drug" which is consumption, and so you defend him, licking honey of a scalpel, and happily jumping into the pit of world domination, and the of course eventual destruction. But "boy oh boy" our Hamburgers are so tasty, and our president is black, so everything is jolly in hillbilly ville.....

I wonder who Minister Farakahn is trying to impress, perhaps he is in need of money and hopes his words will be heard by some rich shiek. I would have hoped by now he would have been assassinated or perished slowly from the tumor in his brain, the man is dying the soon he is burried the better for all mankind.

This guy shooting his mouth off about the jews, well I'll Tell Ya I'd rather have a jew sit behind a country and rule (at least their a hundred times more civilized)then of Blood Thirsty Muslim Fanatics like this guy and his likes who want only to see a peoples demise. Muslims want to rule the World; we get your message Loud & Clear; It'll never happen... Muslims think that by using the media is to their advantage which is true at the first but we all catch the plot sooner or later and then your doomed (well anyone with half a brain! the intelegent ones figured it out a longgg time ago

Any American who watches congress can not but agree wth what Dr Farrakhan said.Many a time both houses of congress vote a pro-israel legislation or recommendation even if it does not agree with th white house policy. It is baffeling and unbelievable for washington observers like me. We need someone like Farrakhan to call a spade a spade. He has no seat to loose.

I suppose that if Jews have supposedly controlled so many people over so many millenia, yet account for a fraction of a percent of the world population, then the goyim are weak-minded and probably need to be mind-controlled in order to resemble a human being capable of any thought.

Would anybody buy a car from this man??

Here's one for you, Uncle Louis Is it true that Jews control all the synagogues?

Mr. Farrakhan has been the voice of the voiceless in the US for more than 30 years and if Obama wants to get reelected he has two options to join Mr. Farrakhan and save America or to give in to the Zionist like the rest of his party and his administration and the US presidents before him!

Obama got elected in spite of AIPAC's intense attacks and the concerted effort to defeat him. AIPAC can't do much of anything now.

He IS anti-Zionist.... (with cause, so far...).

farrakhan speaks the truth. if ol abe doesn't think so. why does he not address farrakhans comments. the ol anti-semite attack doesn't float the boat anymore abe.

Well, the good news is very few Americans pay any attention to Farakhan - he has marginalized himself into almost complete irrelevance. And using hate speech to try to recapture the spot light ? pathetic, really. Besides, his premise is just plain stupid - is Farakhan even aware of AIPAC and J Street? Or does he think that all American Jews time-share the same brain? In my simple mind, Obama is floundering for two basic reasons: 1) he mistakenly thought the Republicans would cooperate with him if he promoted a centrist agenda and 2) the Democratic party has a dozen conflicting opinions for every six Democrats ? their failure to unite behind their own party's platform has squandered the wonderful opportunity they had to affect real change in this country. But Puh-lease! Don't blame it on the Jews...

Problem is that ignorance and hatred pervades his audience who are all to willing to be misled. Not much different than Rush Limbuagh's audience. Put enough of that together in a society, and you get really rotten things like slavery and the Holocaust. Like Germany between the wars: Hitler wasn't the problem, it was the massive number of people who listened to him.

What a silly, foolish, failed calypso singer turned Jew hater and Jew baiter. Although he is to be mocked,as was Hitler,his message and lies get through to thousands of people who are eager to jump on the anti Israel bandwagon.This is very dangerous and a cause to worry. Afterall Hitler started with a few and look what he accomplished. Farrakhan is typical of the muslim world...and unfortunately many blacks follow his lead. Obama will not speak out against this mendacious creature because he agrees with him. Wake up Jews..your president, that you campaigned and voted for ,will throw you into the abyss with the State of Israel if and when he has the chance.

Farrakhan can be seen and heard on youtube.com in vicious hate tirades against Jews, Israel and with 50 million more muslim births scheduled in the U.S. in not too distant future, American Jews are in trouble and Israel should see trouble, big trouble coming.

As always Farrakhan is flatulent. Yes, Obama has been targeted by the extreme right in the US and Israel. But most American Jews support Zionism and most American Jews voted for Obama. So his fundamental premise, that their is some sort of 'Jewish conspiracy' against Obama is total crap.

Ooooh, wish I had a chance to purchase the sermon CD at the exit. It would have been so fun to listen to it over and over at home

most of African Americans....many of which believe that he is actually the Devil.

anyone want to know why? simply circumstances for life even in industrial nations get worse. lots of people living below poverty. this is not the fault of the jews or zinoists but the consequence of an UNCONTROLLED overpopulation of planet EARTH!zionists are just an easy victim...they got that role for hundrets of years... there is only one way to solve the problem....many many people must die to get a kind of equation between population and natural recourses. we,ve already had that problem twice (WW1 and WW2). what we see and hear today is the beginning of WW3 and there is no doubt! after this war some ppl will have to think about how to control world population and avoid huge wars and mass murder in future. amen.

Seriously believe I'm the only person in Israel who has looked at this thing. You're quoting Louis Farakkhan? Of course everyone is entitled to their opinion. It doesn't mean we are required to repeat it. I'm looking forward to the next reprinting of Mein Kampf. It's time that classic got another look.

This should not be laughed at. It may in fact be the beginning of a genuine populist anti-Semitic movement in the United States. In fact, you may see liberals - even Jewish liberals - seeking to use the Jews as a scapegoat for the rejection of Obama's socialist policies. We should note this wel. Fellow American Jws it may be time to think seriously about Aliya. I know I am.A massive American Aliyah would help Israel counter the demography threat and annex the land that belongs to us. Ika Da'amri

- Have you thought about moving to Europe? It seems a bit safer and more tolerant there. Holocaust denial is a crime in most of Europe and such anti-semitic outpourings would have got Mr Farrakhan arrested and probably jailed. Are Jews safe to walk down the street in the USA?

So here you have him, again, taking full advantage of Ahmadinejad rethoric against Jews (although he does distinguish us from Zionists, because he's certainly ignorant, although Hitler was ignorant and still very effective!) and talking in a free-speech country, taking full advantage of the US Constitution to speak in a manner that tries to privilege one group over the other, or worse, trying to demote his own group in front of others ("the Jews"). What worries me as a Jew and a US Citizen is that we're getting into 1933-1937 types of speech that right after, in those days, popular prejudice ruled over reality and we ended up in Holocaust. If Jews as well as non-Jews that have intelligence, can see this process, it's larger than what it seems. If any responses are going to be a rant, don't bother. I'm interested in valuable constructive opinions. Thanks in advance.

Trust me: Farrakhan's a joke. He has his followers, but no one considers him part of the mainstream of American religious or political discourse -- much less Obama. Need I remind people, or Farrakhan, that several of Obama's top advisors are Jewish? (Though perhaps some right-wingers would brand them as Jews of the self-hating variety, I think Axelrod, Rahm Emanuel, and co. are quite capable.) Haaretz shouldn't be reporting on Farrakhan. He's an utter clown.

Why doesn't this po black boy just leave the USA?

Of course the American Congress is controlled by the Zionists. Ordinary American citizens can see it. Foxman has nothing to counter the allegation with except the old worn-out "Anti-Semitic" card.

with plenty of time on hand and many years of incarceration behind them . G..d bless America and the department of welfare .

Hes jut a nut. First class crackpot!

Has anyone examined his remarks closely? The wording may be in question but the essence of his remarks are TRUE. Candidates, in order to be considered eligible, must show support for Israel. Most politician pander to the Jewish vote and money. When Pres. Bush senior was against $10bn in loan guarantees to Israel and the Congress was yelling at him, he said, "If this bill passes I'll take it to the American people." He understood the Congress didn't represent the U.S. taxpayer. Bush wasn't reelected and the hasbara used against him was the slogan, "Read my lips, no new taxes." Alan Greenspan was head of the Federal Reserve(a private bank) at the time. Why and how is Israel deserving of over $140,000,000,000. For 6 million Jews? Does anyone know the cost of making a single nuke? Tens of billions of dollars and Israel has over 150 of them. Question the Shoah? In some countries that means jail-time. Louis Farrakhan is truthful. Anti-Semite? Yes. It's understandable.

Declaring ambiguity is their policy.

I agree with you that he's far out and a very minor player.However,hitler was also a street corner agitator and so far out,nobody payd attention to him...add to him the "revered" wright,the imbecils of the "nation of islam", iranian funds and a rotten economy,with millions of unemployed people,and we have a catastrophy in the making...

This Farrakhan guy has obviously NOT heard about J Street. There are many Jews with many views. And many Jews are lobbying Obama to NOT agree with much of the actions on the ground of Israel. Does he read Haaretz ..or will someone tell him how wrong he is. Talking is the best way.Not an indignant reply blown up,but a reasoned response.

The Jews has congressman putting it to the American children when the U.S. debt is 7 times that of Israel. My senator demonstrates he more interested in being comfortable in Washington then here at home. A lot of American?s resent the aid going to Israel and many more from resentment of the Zionist to hated of these Jews as blood sucker. Me too.

fact is farakhan is right, fact is 47 percent of the american government is jewish, fact is if anyone says anything against aipac they are outed, not even mel gibson could escape their wrath.

You people can deny it all you want, but there is some truth to Farakhan's words. The Pro-Israel lobby in the US is extremely powerful...this has been recounted numerous times by Washington insiders. I don't know how anyone can deny it.

You are talking about people whose scientists received Noble Prices more than all other scientists added in the history. They have served the human race more than any other race, they were prosecuted more than any race. Those who call Israeli/Jewish racist, they are themselves racist dressed like wolf acting like a sheep, open their mouth like eligators. They don't denounce terrorist blowing themselves killing innocent people, because it is their way to deal with other " ".

... in Washington DC last summer. I spent a lot of time reading the translations of newspaper and magazine writings in Germany in the mid 30s, where the tour begins, to understand the beginnings of WW2. It is amazing, chilling, and sad how much today's crap sounds just like Berlin of 70 years ago. I had thought mankind had put that sad chapter to rest. But no, even our black Jerry Lewis, with his bow-tied nut brigade has to embarrass his country with his malignant mind noise.

All obamas associations are anti semitic like wright. Birds of a feather flock together. Why doesn't the US charge farakhan with hate crimes as he is always inciting against the jews. His speeches are not much different than early hitler speeches. Why isn't ADL doing more to stop farakhans genocidal incitement against jews.

I don't see any suprises here. This is vintage Farrakhan. Unfortunately, for him, very few pay any attention to him. He's just a distraction really, sometimes entertaining, but just another marginal character. Not many African-Americans listen to him. If they do, they just pay him some lip service, and that's about it.

Why does it seem so far fetched? Why couldnt this be a legitimate question to raise? I sense that the govt's arent always crystal clear to their people.

Jews should be proud. Look how brilliant we are. There are so few of us here in this great country but what power we have. This guy can cause a lot of problem for us.

Except for that denial of Holocaust which should never been denied, this guy is saying the exact same things as : a lot of JEWS !!!!! Let's See : NORMAN FINKELSTEIN - who is he ? Oh a brilliant teacher in one of the most briliant University in the US, he criticized the industry of Holocaust nowadays, and got kicked off from his University, and is not allowed in Israel for this stupid reason : Immediate Threat to National Security of Israel. Let's Try again : Walt and Mersheimer. Oh !!!! These guys tried in a book to say the Israeli lobby in the US is stronger then any other, and its controlling US policy in the Middle East. Who are these guys : Just 2 researchers from HARVARD, that stupid school of antisemits only... They werre just saying in a simple book that this policy supported by racists like adl and AIPAC are doing the exact opposit of its initial aim : protect Israel. It is not good for the US as it is not for Israel also. What happened : OOOOOh, they got kicked... more ?

While most of it is nonsense, the few potentially verifiable statements he said are wrong. Larry Summers and Geithner had absolutely no connection to Goldman Sachs... But you do know when one huge anti-Semitic lunatic is on the roll, especially with the microphone in his hands & an audience at his disposal (there had been a few throughout history), it is rolling into one big snow ball. That no logic, compation facts or verifiable evidance matters or can stop it.

he's not wrong about the power of the Jewish lobby in Congress. AIPAC's tricks and threats are well-documented, as are those of its sister organisations. Israelis may think it us just representing Israel's interests. That however is the problem, many see it as acting on behalf of a foreign power. It may win Israel Congress votes in the short-term, it's a busted flush in the longer term. Not that the present coalition think much beyond the short term.

I read this piece with the expectation that I would find anti-semitic comments that would sicken me. Surprisingly I saw nothing at all that could be classified as anti-semitism, at least from the quotes in this report, so if he did make anti-semitic remarks, which wouldn't have surprised me, they weren't included here. There isn't a single word in this report I can disagree with, not one racist word, except those used by Abe Foxman

He is jealous of Rahm Emanuel. Or maybe Pelosi converted and it is not yet public knowledge.

"Israel is not a Jewish state. Although, I know many of you wish it so. Secularism must prevail in first world governments." Why aren't government offices open on Christmas and Sundays in the United States and throughout Europe? You do understand that Israel is 80% Jewish and the government there celebrates the Jewish holidays, right?

It's hard for me as an athiest to agree with people like this guy. But on this, I have to admit, this guy is speaking the truth.

The first thing anti-Semites on this talkback feature now do is proclaim that critics of Israel are called "anti-Semites"--Farrakhan however, and the so-called American Firsters and other Arab-based "anti-Zionists" here are precisely that: Jew baiters who continue to denounce an imaginary demonized conspiracy of "blood suckers". Jews do not control the U.S. economy. The American Congress is not dominated by "Zionists". In fact, apart from an imaginary America of fellow anti-Semites, anti-Semites typically show fear, contempt, and distrust for the actual United States in which they live, an America which, while not Jewish, refuses to play games of hate the anti-Semites live by.

Jews and black-americans are natural allies. History is history.It was always so, up and down. Let' us opt for hope, peace and understanding. Tomorrow will be better.

I'd like to know whether this guy gets money from Iran. He is full of crap, as is this disgusting Cynthia McKinney, whose presence once cursed the Congress of the US.

Farrakhan is telling the truth as far as I can see it.

Once again Abe Foxman proves that an anti-Semite is someone Jews don't like.

While most of it is nonsense, the few potentially verifiable statements he said are wrong. Larry Summers and Geithner had absolutely no connection to Goldman Sachs.

Farrakhan is so far out on the edge and so small a player of Politics and culture in America that his statement doesn't warrant or require a response by the president of the United Stats. That would be a mistake.

Wow...Must have been important to skip their job searches I guess...

Google the Congressional votes on the Goldstone Report and sanctions against Iran. Then read up on how Americans are pissed off at bailing out banks such as Goldman Sachs, while people are losing their homes and jobs. If Obama greenlights Israel's attack on Iran, all bets are off, because there's a lot of anger in the US and trebling oil prices could fuel more anti-semitism and ignite something terrible here.

Apparently, every day is Purim in the Nation of Islam.

AIPAC's Jews have targeted the President of the United States bc he dared to ask Bibi to do a little something to foster peace in the Middle East. American politicians are supposed to support Israel right or wrong. Luckily Americans are becoming better informed about Israeli war crimes, so AIPAC despite its big pocketbook is slowly but surely losing its absolute grip on the US Congress.

Poor Obama has to cave in to AIPAC+zionist Congressmen.

in stupid America you can critisize G-d, but never israel!

and I don't mean just politically.

It's not Israel but AIPAC's American Jews who wield disproportionate political influence. This is common knowledge. Politicians who don't give a darn about ISrael pledge their support for fear of encountering AIPAC's wratch and billions.

I am not anti-anything.But Minister Farrakhan is right.

him to do so.

just ask American jews and they will tell you all the USA is continuation of israel. Israel in Middle East is just an American Fortress.

Farrakhan and his ilk never consider the possibility that the US Congress might be pro-Israel not due to undo influence but because Israel might be right and has more commonality with US interests than he can possibly fathom.

Anybody who does not think the white house, pentagon and Fed are controlled by Zionist is in complete denial. Israels interest are always addressed before ours and they never seem to have any problem with congressional support for any of their causes. Isnt it strange that you can be arrested in some european cities for denying or even questioning the holocaust? Any person with a reasonable amount of intelligence can guess where this is heading.

Farrakhan is a side show attraction of no relevance to Obama. His rants and raves are of far less interest than simian dictator of Iran.

Minister Farrakhan has been calling Jews everything from "bloodsuckers" to a "gutter religion" for decades. Candidate Obama and President Obama denounced him over it as have many other African American leaders. Tha's ALL Haaretz should do. There is NO news here; just the same old frenzied venom on an acknowledged hater of the Jews.

Who cares about the Jewish lobby controlling this or that. Has anyone noticed the Christian lobby with people like Mike Hukabee and Pat Robertson. Who needs the Jewish lobby when you have people like them. Anyway, the only reason people notice the Jewish lobby is because Israel feels insecure and Jewish people in America feel like they have to constantly defend her, hence the "Jewish Lobby".

To be critical of Israel's policies in the US is to risk being slandered anti semitic. Israel's political decisions must not be compared with Jewish political decisions. They are not one and the same. Israel is not a Jewish state. Although, I know many of you wish it so. Secularism must prevail in first world governments.

and 13 senators are jewish while they are less than 1 percent of the population ( representative democracy my foot) . Everyone that works in or around DC knows the power that AIPAC exerts on US politicians. Stating this fact is not anti-semitic .It should be taken as a a compliment to how effective , suxccessful and diligent are the Jews as a community. However their stance on protecting Israel ( right or wrong) is problematic.....

Dear mister minister Farrakhan, I can reassure you, that the God of the Jews, also my God, owns the GLOBE including you mister minister.

republican whip is one of the 3-4 republicans in congress. Most of the Jews elected to congress are democrats form liberal states and they are Obama's allies. the problem is the Republican strategy of just saying no and the blue dog democrats from conservative states. the biggest problem is the Obama's administration to use their majority properly even in reconciliation. I thought Farakan gave it up when he acknowledged Spiebergs genius after he saw Shindler's List. I tell you in America he is one of the few that hold on to the old hate.

in Farrakhan's remarks. You're in good company, guys! :)

Will President Obama utterly reject and deplore these vile, anti-semetic remarks by Farrakan?

...how such a tiny country such as Israel, which has always been dependent on foreign aid, could even be capable of causing all the trouble they claim. Farrakhan is a nutcase, just like Ahmadinejad. Anyone who listens to either can only be dumber.
