How does Biden get re-elected with the following hurdles facing him that he must jump over when he barely can find his way off the stage?
Black voters seem to have matured a bit or at least street interviews and polls results suggest an increasing number realize they re-enslaved themselves to The Democrat Party and received very little by way of meaningful benefits in return.. Yes they got welfare, cheesy food stamps and drug infested housing neighborhoods but look what it cost them, ie. their dignity, a husbandless family unit, females working two and three jobs to feed their families, the connection with their church, more subjected to more crime and you know the rest.
Biden inflation has eaten any wage increases workers obtained during the Trump years. The cost of essentials is devastating for those who are in the average lower socio economic level.
Furthermore, competition from Biden illegals is also beginning to create adverse employment opportunities and it will only worsen. The Arkansas Chicken company just fired many of their American citizen work force and replaced them with illegals.
The military was an employment refuge for many black and white citizens who gained many social benefits and positive life experiences as well as post service education stipends. Now the military cannot even fill their quotas because of what Biden has done by way of sexualization.
Speaking of education, hypocrite Union Radicals in the Democrat Party oppose the concept of charter schools and/or outright cash benefits that allow choice.
A solid education has always served as a legitimate and lasting ladder.
Again while on the topic of education, the back middle class has expanded but all too often from promotions which are racially driven by DEI nonsense and over time many find they are incapable of competing and quickly reach their level of incompetency. How disingenuous affirmative action always was.
What I have written is akin to placing the carrot out of the reach of the horse and this is cynical and demeaning.
The significant cost of Biden energy policies falls heavily upon everyone but most significantly upon, you guessed it, those who can least afford these painful increases.
Crime has increased but statistics do no reflect it because so many former crimes are no longer recorded. You can attribute this to Soros' funding of radical district and state attorney campaigns.
Again, crime impacts those who have the least ability to cope. The blame is not only due to Soros' campaign munificence but Biden's open border policies.
The devastation to families from the increase in deadly drugs, mainly fentanyl, can be laid at the front door of the Biden White House. The nation is awash in gangs selling drugs while enriching Mexican Cartels and China.
I have yet to mention the enslavement sex tracking of females while again Biden looks the other way
Sanctuary cities and decimated police forces have led to thousands of wealthy mobile citizens fleeing their former homes. The impact on tax revenues and the escalating costs of funding the beneficence of illegals by brainless city commissioners and other unworthy administrative electives also falls hardest on America's struggling working class and Biden simply ignores the impact at this peril.
As the consequences of Biden's "imbecilic" policies mount I believe the prospects of a monsoon election are forming. I hope I am right in this gut feeling because the Democrats will do everything in their power to undercut his second administration as they did his first.
Losing is anathema and if further destroying the nation is conceived as their only option so be it.
Democrats and the mass media are so removed from the real world, from reality they will continue to shoot themselves in their feet until the election results, perhaps sober them up but even that is a long shot. It is called the boomerang effect and usually comes after the music has stopped and the orchestra shifts to another beat.
As for "Uncle Biden" he may still flirt with wearing a mask and dark glasses but he uncovered the secret about who he is years ago and the problems he faces are both of his own making and are insurmountable, in my opinion. Meanwhile, I have yet to even discuss his age, his physical and mental infirmities nor do I need to because the horse is out of the barn and is laughing.
Time will tell. It always does.

Biden and Schumer’s pivot away from Israel is already backfiring
Democrats are reminded that most Americans still support Israel, and that their stand is helping the GOP, which plans on inviting Netanyahu to address Congress.
By JONATHAN S. TOBIN
The trouble with living in a bifurcated political culture isn’t just that everyone seems to be living in an ideological bubble. We’ve seen how this coarsens and embitters public discourse. But in the last week, it’s now clear that this isn’t just something that impacts the way ordinary citizens interact with each other. It’s also leading politicians to make some terrible decisions.
That’s the best way to understand how President Joe Biden and Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer walked into a political trap of their own making when they decided to attack Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
In his State of the Union address, Biden had more harsh words for Netanyahu than for the Hamas terrorists who perpetrated the Oct. 7 massacre in southern Israel. Then Schumer gave a speech on the floor of the Senate that not only labeled the prime minister as being equally responsible for the lack of peace with the Palestinians as Hamas in Gaza and the supposedly more moderate Palestinian Authority in Ramallah, which has repeatedly rejected offers of statehood while also subsidizing terrorism.
What’s more, speaking at the behest of the White House because both men thought it would help the president’s re-election prospects, Schumer called for regime change in Jerusalem. In a blatant act of interference in the politics of a fellow democracy, the senator demanded that Israel hold new elections and oust Netanyahu, who won the last Knesset election that was held only 16 months ago. The senator seemed not to know or just not care about the fact that while Netanyahu remains a controversial figure, the overwhelming majority of Israelis back his policies of continuing the war until victory. They also oppose a Palestinian state that would allow Hamas to make good on its promise to repeat the horrors of Oct. 7.
Giving a gift to the GOP
Yet days later, Biden had to disavow any intention of trying to overthrow Netanyahu’s government. Even more humiliating is the way Schumer is being forced to acquiesce to the idea of inviting Netanyahu to address a joint session of Congress, where he could use that bully pulpit to make the case to support Israel’s war to finish off the Hamas terrorists who threaten not just the Middle East but the world.
Of course, that’s not what Schumer wants to do. But the backlash against his speech was such that he quickly realized that he had made a terrible mistake, even if he and other Democrats continue to try to justify his words. Far from isolating Netanyahu, Biden and Schumer had handed a campaign issue to the Republicans, who were quick not just to condemn the Majority Leader but to use the administration’s statements to buttress their claim that they are the only pro-Israel party. That led Senate Republicans to invite Netanyahu to give a virtual address to their caucus meeting this week, where he briefed them on the war against Hamas and Israel’s intentions to keep fighting until the terrorists are eliminated. House Speaker Mike Johnson then said he intended to ask the prime minister to address Congress, leaving Senate leader Schumer in a position where a refusal to go along with the idea would brand him and his party as foes of the Jewish state.
The problem for Biden and Schumer was that they were so immersed in the debates inside their own party that they forgot that what passes for conventional wisdom among left-wing Democrats, especially when it comes to Israel, bears little resemblance to the political reality of the rest of America.
Biden thinks that the reason he’s currently trailing Trump in the polls and in danger of losing key battleground states like Michigan and Nevada is that he’s been too supportive of Israel since Oct. 7.
Inside the left-wing bubble
There has been a civil war going on within the Democratic Party since then as lower-level administration officials, congressional staffers and even Biden re-election campaign workers have voiced their opposition to Israel’s war against Hamas and demanded an immediate ceasefire that would leave the genocidal terrorists still standing and make them the victors of the war they launched. Party activists, most of whom appear to have been indoctrinated in the woke ideologies of critical race theory and intersectionality that falsely label Israel and the Jews as “white” oppressors, mimic Hamas’s lies about “genocide” being committed against the Palestinians and want the administration to sanction, rather than to aid, the Jewish state.
Their lack of enthusiasm, as well as the potential defection of Arab-American voters, is seen as the key factor that could cost Biden Michigan and the support of younger voters around the country who also have been taught to hate Israel.
That’s a mistaken analysis since—as the shift in voting patterns among Hispanics and African-Americans shows—Biden’s real concern is the way working-class voters are abandoning the Democrats. The president’s failed economic policies, coupled with the open border he created that has let in between 7 million and 10 million illegal immigrants, are creating what could be a devastating political realignment due to the Democrats being seen as the party of credentialed elites who are indifferent to the concerns of ordinary Americans.
Biden and Schumer seem to have been only listening to the political left, where Israel is falsely seen as a villainous “apartheid” state. The president, who claims he ran for office in 2020 because of his anger about the 2017 “United the Right” neo-Nazi rally in Charlottesville, Va., now seems to think that the only way he can hold onto office is by seeking to appease anti-Semitic voters.
They’re not the only ones who believe this.
More than 100 Democratic Party donors signed a letter demanding that Biden act to end the war in Gaza and prioritize aid to the Palestinians. And 19 Senate Democrats signed a letter calling for the administration to conduct a new push for an independent Palestinian state. The Palestinians have repeatedly rejected such schemes because they would have also meant they would have to live in peace with a Jewish state, no matter where its borders are drawn. But to suggest forcing Israel to accept such a threat to their existence in the aftermath of Oct. 7 would not only be immoral but grant the Palestinians a reward for terrorism.
The Democrats, however, got a recent reminder that there is a wide world beyond the ideological box in which those views and hostility to Israel are considered conventional.
The pushback against Schumer’s attack on Israel from mainstream Jewish organizations, including umbrella groups like the Conference of President of Major American Jewish Organizations, had to shock the senator since he assumed that most of organized Jewry agreed with him and with leftist Jewish groups about opposing the continuation of the war against Hamas and deposing Netanyahu.
Other pro-Israel Democrats, like former House Majority Leader Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) and former Democratic National Committee chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D-Fla), either distanced themselves from Schumer’s stand or maintained silence about it, showing that they understood the danger to their party posed by the abandonment of Israel.
A bully pulpit for Netanyahu
More importantly, the willingness of Republicans to eagerly embrace Netanyahu and Israel was a cue to the Democrats that outside of the political left, support for Israel remains strong. And though left-wing activists may stay home or vote for a third-party candidate in November, there are far more votes from independents and moderates in the political center and swing states. That includes the support of some liberal Jews who have been shocked by the way a surge in antisemitism has impacted their lives and endangered their children on college campuses.
A Netanyahu speech in Washington will be deeply embarrassing for Biden since he has refused to invite him to the White House since he returned to the premiership, as the administration openly rooted for the Israeli left to topple him. But just as the Biden-Schumer attacks on issues supported by Israelis strengthen Netanyahu at home, so, too, have their broadsides encouraged Republicans to double down on their embrace of the Jewish state.
Such an address will be a great opportunity for the prime minister to make Israel’s case to Americans and to the world in a way he has been largely denied since the current war began. That’s a huge win for Israel in its efforts to combat the lies told by Hamas and its American apologists who have had free reign in the corporate media. But it will also enrage the political left and further divide the Democrats, with some likely boycotting it while others will attend as they signal their voters that, unlike the president, they are not in thrall to the woke Israel-haters.
That’s the last thing Biden and other Democrats wanted to happen because it will help demonstrate how much support Israel still has even after months of left-wing smears and biased reporting that mimics Hamas propaganda. That will make it even harder for them to force the prime minister to stop the war before Hamas is defeated.
It will also demonstrate that when political leaders stop listening to voices outside of their echo chamber, they can forget that there is a world in which they, their advisers and their press cheering sections live. When it comes to the broad backing of Jerusalem from those not in deep-blue enclaves, it presents a sobering lesson in political math for Democrats.

The UN will vote on a US resolution declaring that an immediate cease-fire in Gaza is imperative
By Associated Press
The United Nations Security Council is set to vote on a United States-sponsored resolution declaring that “an immediate and sustained cease-fire” in the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza is “imperative” to protect civilians and enable humanitarian aid to be delivered to more than 2 million hungry Palestinians.
US Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield said she was optimistic that the new, tougher draft resolution would be approved Friday by the 15-member council.
The draft being put to a vote “determines” — which is a council order — “the imperative of an immediate and sustained cease-fire,” with no direct link to the release of hostages taken during Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel, which was in the previous draft
But it would unequivocally support diplomatic efforts “to secure such a cease-fire in connection with the release of all remaining hostages.”
Russia’s deputy UN ambassador Dmitry Polyansky said Moscow will not be satisfied “with anything that doesn’t call for an immediate cease-fire,” saying it’s what US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is pressing for and what “everybody” wants.
He questioned the wording of the draft, asking, “What’s an imperative? I have an imperative to give you $100, but … it’s only an imperative, not $100.”
“So, somebody’s fooling around, I think, (with the) international community,” the Russian envoy said.
The Security Council had already adopted two resolutions on the worsening humanitarian situation in Gaza, but none calling for a cease-fire.
Russia and China vetoed a US-sponsored resolution in late October calling for pauses in the fighting to deliver aid, protection of civilians, and a halt to arming Hamas. They said it didn’t reflect global calls for a cease-fire.
The US, Israel’s closest ally, has vetoed three resolutions demanding a cease-fire, the most recent an Arab-backed measure supported by 13 council members with one abstention on Feb. 20.
A day earlier, the US circulated a rival resolution, which has gone through major changes during negotiations before Friday’s vote.
It initially would have supported a temporary cease-fire linked to the release of all hostages, and the previous draft would have supported international efforts for a cease-fire as part of a hostage deal.
The vote will take place as Blinken, America’s top diplomat, is on his sixth urgent mission to the Middle East since the Israel-Hamas war, discussing a deal for a cease-fire and hostage release, as well as post-war scenarios.7
Nate Evans, the spokesperson for the US Mission to the United Nations who announced the Friday morning vote, said: “This resolution is an opportunity for the Council to speak with one voice to support the diplomacy happening on the ground and pressure Hamas to accept the deal on the table.”
Meanwhile, the 10 elected members of the Security Council have been drafting their own resolution, which would demand an immediate humanitarian cease-fire for the Muslim holy month of Ramadan that began March 10 to be “respected by all parties leading to a permanent sustainable cease-fire.”
It also demands “the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages ” and emphasizes the urgent need to protect civilians and deliver humanitarian aid throughout the Gaza Strip.
Hamas terrorists killed some 1,200 people in the surprise Oct. 7 attack into southern Israel that triggered the war, and abducted another 250 people.
Hamas is still believed to be holding some 100 people hostage, as well as the remains of 30 others.
In Gaza, the Health Ministry raised the death toll in the territory Thursday to nearly 32,000 Palestinians. It doesn’t differentiate between civilians and combatants in its count but says women and children make up two-thirds of the dead.
The international community’s authority on determining the severity of hunger crises warned this week that “famine is imminent” in northern Gaza, where 70% of people are experiencing catastrophic hunger. The report from the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification initiative, or IPC, warned that escalation of the war could push half of Gaza’s total population to the brink of starvation.
The US draft would express “deep concern about the threat of conflict-induced famine and epidemics presently facing the civilian population in Gaza as well as the number of undernourished people, and also that hunger in Gaza has reached catastrophic levels.”
It would emphasize “the urgent need to expand the flow of humanitarian assistance to civilians in the entire Gaza Strip” and lift all barriers to getting aid to civilians “at scale.”
The draft was being put in “blue” Thursday night, which is the final form required for a vote.
After closed council consultations on Gaza late Thursday, France’s UN Ambassador Nicolas de Rivière told reporters: “There is a desire to take action, no one want to procrastinate, so we hope that a decision can be made by tomorrow (Friday) evening.”
“There are two options: Either the US text is adopted and then we’ll move to the next phase of this crisis management,” he said, “or the text is not adopted and then the draft of the elected members will come to the table and put to the vote, and I hope it will be adopted.”
Israel faces mounting pressure from even its closest allies to streamline the entry of aid into the Gaza Strip and to open more land crossings, and come to a cease-fire agreement.
But Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to move the military offensive to the southern city of Rafah, where some 1.3 million displaced Palestinians have sought safety. Netanyahu says it’s a Hamas stronghold.
People wait to receive food during the Muslim holy fasting month of Ramadan in the southern Gaza city of Rafah on March 13, 2024.7
The final US draft eliminated language in the initial draft that said Israel’s offensive in Rafah “should not proceed under current circumstances.” Instead, in an introductory paragraph, the council would emphasize its concern that a ground offensive into Rafah “would result in further harm to civilians and their further displacement, potentially into neighboring countries, and would have serious implications for regional peace and security.”
For the first time in a UN resolution, the US draft would condemn “all acts of terrorism, including the Hamas-led attacks of Oct. 7, 2023, as well as its taking and killing of hostages, murder of civilians, and sexual violence, including rape.”

As Mossad chief David Barnea heads to Doha for hostage talks with top officials from the US, Egypt and Qatar, an Israeli official tells The Times of Israel that “there has been no real progress” in negotiations with Hamas.
“The Americans are dressing it up as progress,” says the source. “The pressure to move forward is coming from them.”
The IDF says it struck a building used by Hezbollah in southern Lebanon’s Ayta ash-Shab earlier today.
Following rocket fire against the Metula area today, the IDF says it shelled the launch sites.
The IDF also confirms shooting down a “suspicious aerial target,” apparently a drone, that entered Israeli airspace from Lebanon a short while ago.
The incident set off sirens in the Western Galilee.
Spain has agreed with the leaders of Ireland, Malta and Slovenia to take the first steps towards recognizing a Palestinian state, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez says following a meeting of the European Council in Brussels.
Speaking for Spain, Sanchez expects the recognition to happen during the current four-year legislature that began last year.
He tells reporters the agreement was reached after meeting with his Irish, Maltese and Slovenian counterparts on the sidelines of the Council gathering on Friday morning.
“We are agreed that the only way to achieve lasting peace and stability in the region is through implementation of a two-state solution, with Israeli and Palestinian States living side-by-side, in peace and security,” reads a joint statement issued by Ireland after the meeting.
Arab states and the European Union agreed at a meeting in Spain in November that a two-state solution was the answer to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
Since 1988, 139 out of 193 United Nations member states have recognized Palestinian statehood.
Report: Blinken tells war cabinet that without ‘day after’ plan for Gaza, Israel’s security in danger
In his meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his war cabinet, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken warns Israel that if it does not come up with a plan for the “day after” Hamas, Israel will be stuck in Gaza for years and will see its international standing undermined and national security in danger, according to the Walla news site.
“You don’t understand this,“ Blinken reportedly says, “and when you do, it might be too late.”
He says that if current trends continue, the only possible results are Hamas remaining in power or anarchy in Gaza.
PM says he told Blinken Israel must go into Rafah and will do it without US support if necessary

After his meeting with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu doubles down on the message he has expressed in recent days — we will happily work with the US on improving the humanitarian situation and evacuating civilians from Rafah, but the IDF will go into the southern Gaza city.
“I told him that I deeply appreciate the fact that for more than five months, we have stood together in the war against Hamas,” says Netanyahu in a video.
“I told him that we recognize the need to evacuate the civilian population for the war zone and of course to take care of humanitarian needs, and we are working on that,” he continues.
“But I also told him that we don’t have a way to defeat Hamas without going into Rafah, and eliminating the remaining battalions there. And I told him that I hope that we will do it with America’s support, but if we need, we will do it alone,” he concludes.
The United Nations Security Council fails to pass a resolution calling for an “immediate and sustained ceasefire” in Gaza for around six weeks as part of a hostage deal after Russia and China, who are permanent members, vote against the measure proposed by the United States.
The resolution called for an “immediate and sustained ceasefire” lasting roughly six weeks that would protect civilians and allow for the delivery of humanitarian assistance to Gaza, and condemned the devastating October 7 attack by Hamas.
Moscow accused Washington of a “hypocritical spectacle” that does not pressure Israel.
Russia’s ambassador to the UN, Vassily Nebenzia, says it is exceedingly politicized and claims it contains an effective green light for Israel to mount a military operation in Rafah. However, the resolution explicitly warns against Israel launching a ground offensive in the southern Gaza city.
The Russian veto appeared to be at least a partial extension of Moscow’s rivalry with the US, which has peaked since the invasion of Ukraine.
Today’s resolution marked a further toughening of Washington’s stance toward Israel. Earlier in the five-month-long war, the US was averse to the word ceasefire and vetoed measures that included calls for an immediate ceasefire.
The IDF releases footage of a combat helicopter strike against a Palestinian terrorist who opened fire on a minibus near the West Bank settlement of Dolev this morning, as well as at troops during a pursuit.
The initial attack was carried out at around 5 a.m., with the terrorist being killed only some 5 hours later.
Blinken’s meeting with Netanyahu lasted for about 40 minutes, and the talks focused on ensuring that more aid flows into Gaza. The two also discussed the contentious plans for Rafah.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken held a one-on-one meeting with war cabinet minister Benny Gantz after his meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a spokesman for the minister says.
Gantz expressed his appreciation for the continued support Israel has received from the US and for its commitment to Israel’s security, the statement says.
The two discussed Israel’s planned operation in the southern Gaza city of Rafah, which the US is opposed to and which Israel has said is necessary in order to dethrone Hamas.
Gantz reassured Blinken that Israel will continue to enable humanitarian solutions to aid civilians in Gaza, his office adds.
fINALLY,The commander of the 7th Armored Brigade’s 82nd Battalion, Lt. Col. Ofir Caspi, has been rebuked by his division commander for political remarks given to reporters in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis yesterday. Caspi had told reporters that the “solution” to defeating Hamas in Gaza is establishing settlements.
“The IDF should hold the territory, I think that if the settlements return here, we have won. If we kill [Yahya] Sinwar, we will not destroy Hamas, someone else will come. The solution is to return here, like the settlements in Judea and Samaria,” he said.
The IDF says Caspi was summoned for a “clarification” with the division commander, who reprimanded him for his “irregular remarks which are not in line with IDF protocols and what is expected of an IDF commander.”
“The officer took back his words and expressed regret,” the IDF says.
The IDF says the commander is currently fighting in Khan Younis, and the remarks were made amid a long conversation with reporters on the ongoing battles.
MEANWHILE, Police investigating east London house fire as possible anti-Semitic hate crime
The London Metropolitan Police is examining the possibility that a house fire in east London on Wednesday was an anti-Semitic hate crime, The Guardian reports.
A Man in his 60s was detained near the scene of the Hackney house fire, which was wrestled under control by 60 firefighters, and has been arrested on suspicion of committing arson with an intent to endanger life, the report says.
During the arrest, police said the suspect made “a number of threatening comments, some of which were allegedly anti-Semitic,” but did not expand further on what had been said.
The police cautioned, however, that “while the investigation will continue to explore the motivation for this offense, we believe at this stage that this was centralized on a local housing-related issue.”
The police added that it has a “robust” plan to protect Hackney’s Jewish community and those in the surrounding area during the Jewish holiday of Purim this weekend, The Guardian adds.
Police have launched an investigation into a house fire in hackney & are examining whether it was an anti-Semitic hate crime.

It's Time for the GOP To Unite Behind Trump
Home depot founder Bernie Marcus writes at RealClearPolitics that he has lost confidence in the federal government and the media as protectors of our liberty, making this election even more critical. He writes:
There is more on the line in this year's presidential election than ever before. It is a mistake to assume that this election will be a rerun of 2020. The presumptive nominees and the world have changed since then. President [Joe] Biden can no longer portray himself as "kindly Uncle Joe" or a moderate Democrat. His recent State of the Union Address, which was the most divisive of any I recall, reveals he is a very angry man and not someone Americans would want as their uncle. His policies and the undemocratic means by which he implemented them confirm he has been pulled to the far left by far-left extremists in the Democrat Party.
… [Donald Trump's] detractors are unwilling to look past Trump's rough edges and see the results he achieved during his first of what I hope will be two terms. His policies achieved the highest wage rate in 50 years while keeping inflation in check, the lowest unemployment rate for minorities, and energy independence for America, among other stunning results. Moreover, his policies and the projection of his and America's strength kept the country out of any new foreign conflicts. It is essential to our national security that America's enemies fear our president.
… The world has also changed since 2020. It is much less safe, and America's enemies have become stronger and more emboldened. China, Iran, and Russia have become enriched by changes in America's energy policy: canceling the Keystone Pipeline, reducing oil drilling leases, and blocking all oil drilling on certain federal lands. America's cities are less safe because of the illegal entry into the country of millions of unvetted people from China, Russia, Central and South America, the Middle East, Africa, and Europe. This is compounded by the unwillingness of local Democratic Party prosecutors to prosecute violent criminals. Moreover, the Taliban have reopened terrorist training camps in Afghanistan. The stakes now are even higher than the first Trump-Biden match.
… There are several actions conservative donors should take to ensure that Trump-Biden II will have a different outcome than their first match. First, the different factions of the Republican Party must unite behind Trump and participate fully in the presidential election. Put another way, no one should sit out the presidential election or withhold their financial support to our nominee…

Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan delivers a genocidal message to Israel
The Nation of Islam leader claims he received a divine revelation from the Great Wheel, hovering 40 miles above the Earth, that Netanyahu staged the Oct. 7 massacre. In that case,...Opinion
Eunice G. Pollack, Ph.D., is the author of Black Antisemitism in America: Past and Present and Racializing Antisemitism: Black Militants, Jews and Israel, 1950‒Present.
(JNS) On Feb. 25, Nation of Islam (NOI) leader Louis Farrakhan delivered a four-hour address to mark the group’s Saviour’s Day. The event honors Fard Muhammad, whom the NOI considers the Mahdi, Allah in human form. They identify former leader Elijah Muhammad as “the Messiah.”
Farrakhan announced he was dressed in gold because he was giving “the speech of my life.” He stated, “We all talk to God” but the “big difference” is “He talks back to me.”
His speech was a message from Allah, conveyed by the Messiah from the Great Wheel, 40 miles above the Earth, where he has dwelt since 1975. Farrakhan proclaimed, “I’m going to shake the world today with what I tell you that they told me.”
Farrakhan devoted most of his address to disclosing what “the Mahdi and Messiah have to say about the War in the Middle East” against “my Palestinian family”—“our family.” He suggested that Hamas, recognizing their kinship, chose “Oct. 7, Elijah’s birthday,” for their massacre.
“In the middle of the night,” he divulged, the Messiah sent him a photograph and instructions. Taken a few days before Oct. 7, the photo allegedly showed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and two others “toasting the innocence of Jews” whom they knew “were being martyred.” Netanyahu “already knew what Hamas was going to do because he sanctioned it.” The prime minister “used their plan because he had in his mind a second nakba.”
Netanyahu did this, Farrakhan claimed, “so that he then could take absolute control of all of Gaza, all of the West Bank, all of East Jerusalem and there would not be one Palestinian left.” The plan was to “destroy the whole Palestinian community. … It was a genocidal attack that he knew would preserve his place as a great … Jewish leader.”
Explaining that he must “say all that [the Messiah] showed me,” Farrakhan “revealed” that Netanyahu endorsed the plan because Israel wanted the “billions of dollars of oil and gas under the foot of the Palestinians.”
“Netanyahu has a vision of Eretz Yisrael,” of “Greater Israel,” Farrakhan “disclosed,” so Netanyahu and his “War Council” “intend to annex” Saudi Arabia and Jordan. He added that because “that man has already over 400 nuclear bombs … they now feel they are the power in the Middle East.”
The night after Farrakhan received the photo, the Mahdi transmitted “one name: Nebuchadnezzar,” projected “in bold letters” on a screen. Farrakhan explained that Nebuchadnezzar “was so wicked” that “Allah turned him from a human to a beast” and Allah had shown Farrakhan that “Netanyahu was becoming a beast in human form.”
As evidence, Farrakhan falsely claimed that the Jews “dropped leaflets and told the Palestinians, ‘Get out … there’s a safe route to the south,’ and then they started bombing those routes. It killed so many of our people.” Moreover, claims of Hamas’s atrocities “all … were found to be false.”
Farrakhan was not done with his libels. He misrepresented a statement by former Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir, who he claims said, “It was not as though there was a Palestinian people … considering itself as a Palestinian people and we … took their country away from them. They did not exist.” Although Meir accurately stated that the Palestinians had not considered themselves a separate people, Farrakhan claimed, “She is boldly saying, yeah, we took your country … because in their minds, you didn’t exist. … For this Jewish woman … they haven’t any existence at all. See, this is the way they talk now.”
Farrakhan asserted that this confirmed NOI teaching that the Jews “diminish the value of the lives of others” and “minimize Palestinian life.”
Farrakhan then mocked President Joe Biden for “bowing to Netanyahu, and I mean bowing.” When in Israel, Biden “looked like a schoolboy being chastised by a principal-teacher.” As the audience howled its approval, Farrakhan ranted that Biden “has to lower his testicles.” Using the third person, he bragged, “They don’t want to walk with Farrakhan—his testicles so large, he has to walk with a wheelbarrow.”
Farrakhan explained that “Netanyahu now … talks to America like he’s God.” Ostensibly imitating Netanyahu, the NOI leader said: “I don’t need the money you send me. … Now I’m making a lot of our money.” Grinning, Farrakhan elaborated, “Everything they’ve tried out to keep the Palestinians under control … they made it into a business. … Every country now is buying Israel’s methodology. … So if you’ve got an angry community in your nation, we’ll show you how to keep them under control.”
Farrakhan also impugned the manhood of Arabs, who, he asserted, offer Palestinian Arabs only “platitudes” and “cheap talk.” He charged that Netanyahu planned to destroy Gaza in order “to put fear in the mind of the Muslims.” Observing that Arabs are constructing “beautiful buildings,” including “a mosque in Mecca that will hold 30 million, … to keep Israel from bombing you, you’re afraid to stand up for the Palestinians.” He raged, “You belittle yourself and you become a little cheap whore … prostrating yourselves” before “the Enemies of God.” Arabs should fear “Allah’s power,” not Netanyahu’s.
Insisting Allah commanded him to convey the writing on the wall in the Book of Daniel “with strength,” Farrakhan openly threatened genocide, shouting to Israelis, “You’ve been weighed in the balance. Your kingdom is numbered—and finished.” Addressing Netanyahu, he thundered, “In the name of Allah, I warn you … it’s getting to the end of Israel.”
He railed, “You stole the land, now God intends to give it back to its rightful owner.” Then he led the chant: “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.” He advised Jews, whom the NOI denies have roots in the Middle East, “to think about returning to Europe.”
Farrakhan ended the speech with an anti-Semitic rant about the “secrets” behind his $4.8 billion defamation lawsuit against the ADL for labeling him an “anti-Semite.” Seeing conspiracies everywhere, he claimed that, in 1913, when the Federal Reserve System and the ADL were founded, the ADL pledged to serve as the Federal Reserve’s “watchdog.”
“The Jewish banker Paul Warburg,” he stressed, “was the unquestioned architect” of the Federal Reserve. He claimed that, although established by Congress, the Federal Reserve is “as much a federal agency as Federal Express!” The Fed is mainly engaged, he contended, in the business of lending money to the government and pocketing the interest. “America is enslaved to whom she owes the debt,” he emphasized.
Reaching a crescendo, Farrakhan divulged, “Now, the ADL, their task is to keep you from knowing about the Jewish people that own all the debt.” But since he knows this and is “not afraid” to reveal it, the ADL sprang into action, declaring him “the No. 1 Antisemite in America.”
“Today I may have signed my death warrant,” Farrakhan declared. But if the ADL kills him, he sang, “I’ll be the last black man you kill.”
Farrakhan then compared himself to Jesus, who “threw the merchants out of the Temple and beat ‘em. … And then he became hated by the Jews of that day like I am hated by the Jews of this day.” Just as Jews allegedly sought to kill Jesus for revealing “the Truth” about them, Farrakhan claims the ADL seeks to crucify him, the representative of the Messiah, for exposing “the Truth” about what he labels the Jews’ modern Temple, the Federal Reserve.
Throughout the address, the audience was riveted. They cheered every anti-Semitic claim. But Farrakhan’s support extends far beyond NOI members. Students who jam the halls each time he speaks at universities and distributes NOI tracts may not see him as divine, but they are awed by him. They too cheer the centuries-old libels he proclaims. Doubtless, many of those denouncing the Jewish state and calling for Jewish blood on campuses today have been influenced—even shaped—by Farrakhan’s blather.
