| | + | The lack of coordination among U.S. agencies is a big challenge, added the antisemitism envoy. |
| | + | |
| | + | If it’s someone you loathe, you just want to keep them down and keep them out of your life and keep them in their box. But if it’s someone who is controlling things, you have to stop them by any means necessary, because they’re harming your own welfare,” she said in a conversation with Shelley Greenspan, White House liaison to the Jewish community. |
| | + | |
| | + | “Whether it’s ‘death con 3’ or ‘any means necessary,’ stop them for my own survival. And that’s what we’re seeing in a lot of the antisemitic rhetoric that we’re seeing, with antisemitic attacks and efforts,” Lipstadt continued. |
| | + | |
| | + | Death con 3 was a reference to one of a number of threats made against the Jewish community by rapper Kanye “Ye” West. |
| | + | |
| | + | Lipstadt, a noted and often referenced scholar and historian, told those listening on Zoom that the key to fighting antisemitism goes beyond her own expertise. |
| | + | |
| | + | “This is going to sound a little strange as someone who has made her whole life” as an educator, she said. “Education is crucially important, but education can only go so far. You can be well educated and still be an antisemite.”...</blockquote></ref><ref>Leah Bitsky, [https://pagesix.com/2022/10/24/kim-kardashian-condemns-anti-semitism-amid-ex-kanye-wests-comments/ Kim Kardashian condemns Kanye West’s ‘hate speech’: Anti-Semitism is ‘never OK’], Page Six, October 24, 2022.</ref> Ye had shown his deranged dangerous hate. |

| | + | <blockquote>Faber found during his more recent scholarly research with British Naval Office records that in 18th-century Britain, Jews actually were not heavily invested in the trading part of the slave trade. “Overwhelmingly,” Faber said, “Jewish merchants and shippers were not involved at all; they represent a minuscule portion of owners of ships.” While Jews did own slaves, he found, “their ownership was directly proportionate to their numbers.” Both were about 18 percent. The two companies with slaving ventures had small numbers of Jews among their owners: The Royal Africa Company had none until 1712, and the South Sea Company always had a handful of Jews... Faber says. The numbers just aren’t there to support the view,” said Faber. “Jews were involved, but to an insignificant degree. That doesn’t absolve them of that guilt, but everyone made money off African slaves: Arabs, Europeans, Africans,” he said. “And there was no attempt to deny it...” |
| | + | And indeed, most black intellectuals were never convinced by The Secret Relationship. “You can’t even say that Christians across the board were slave-traders!” said Hilary Shelton, Washington bureau director and senior vice president for Advocacy for the NAACP. “There is not a religion that doesn’t have someone doing some dastardly thing.
