How Cries For Racial Justice in America Are Being Hijacked by Anti-Semitism

How Cries For Racial Justice in America Are Being Hijacked by Anti-Semitism Read Transcript


- [Chris] On July 1st, theseNew York City demonstrators

verbally attacked the police.

- The police that are aroundus are not our friends.

They are our enemy .

(crowd cheering)

- [Chris] Then they turned to the Jews.

- The European Jews,who occupy, slaughter,

and continue to forcemillions of Palestinians

onto their killing fields called refugee

and concentration camps,

- [Chris] And the slursspread beyond the Big Apple

to the nation's capitol.

- Israel, we know you.

You murder children too.

- [Chris] Rabbi AbrahamCooper sees an explosion

of anti-Semitic and anti-Israel lies.

- Fundamentally, themost troubling is the lie

that Israel somehow isinvolved in training

the bad apples of thepolice in the United States.

- [Chris] An accusation madeby Nation of Islam leader,

Louis Farrakhan, toward Israelin a speech on July 4th.

- You mayors, yougovernors, stop your police

from goin' to Israel

to learn how to kill better.

- It's a half a millionpeople (indistinct)

where Jews were calledthe devil and we're linked

to Coronavirus and off we go to the races.

It reminds me of the statement made,

I think around 100 yearsago by Winston Churchill,

who said that, you know,"a lie can travel halfway

"around the world before thetruth gets its pants on".

- [Chris] Cooper saysanother current accusation

is Jewish white privilege.

Philadelphia Eagles widereceiver, Desean Jackson,

apologized for postingan anti-Semitic message

on Instagram, saying, "WhiteJews will blackmail America".

"They will extort America."

And incorrectly attributingthe quote to Hitler.

- To me it's especiallyoutrageous because, apparently,

to six million Jews during the holocaust,

they weren't white enoughto avoid being mass murdered

by the Nazis, who werethe ultimate supremacists.

And then, seeing how socialmedia and the very politicized

journalism situation, meansthat some of the most vile,

disgusting, and baseless ideas

are elevated to discussion.

- [Chris] Rabbi Cooper wroterecently about the importance

of the Jewish community andAfrican American leaders

working together for the common good.

- I think that everyoneidentifies with the concept

of Black Lives Matter.

African Americans arestill battling racism,

but as we see some of the forces unleashed

also led to looting,violence, the attempt to

tear down American history.

- [Chris] Cooper saysthat relationship can help

counter speeches likeFarrakhan's that become fueled

by social media and injectedinto the culture and society.

Cooper maintains coalitionsmust come together

in this national discussionin order to fight

both racism and anti-Semitism.

- What's really important for our center,

for the American Jewishcommunity and beyond is

we can't defeat anti-Semitismwithout friends and allies.

Find common cause wherewe can and I believe

there's a lot of common ground that we can

in fighting anti-Semitismand racism going forward.

I think what Farrakhanand the others wanna do

is they wanna isolate and they wanna bully

the Jewish community.

We're not gonna let them do that.

- [Chris] Chris Mitchell,CBN News, Jerusalem.
