The more I speak up for the human rights and dignity of Palestine, the more Jewish leaders ask me to speak out against Louis Farrakhan. I’m sorry but that’s preposterous. It’s racist for you to even ask me this. I’m not responsible for a single word that comes out of his mouth

whether or not you denounce farrakhan is your business. but continually bringing palestinian rights into a conversation about an overtly anti-semitic minister and his view of american jews is a form of antisemitism.

many people disturbed by the unwillingness of prominent american activists to denounce farrakhan are disturbed by what’s happening in israel, abhor netanyahu, and want full rights for palestinians. but this is entirely separate from a man who says jews caused the holocaust.

When did he say that and why am I being asked to denounce it today? Can you fully unpack that for me?

"The Jews have been so bad at politics they lost half their population in the Holocaust. They thought they could trust in Hitler, and they helped him get the Third Reich on the road.” -Louis Farrakhan (1/2)
