There was a time in which the West wouldn’t tolerate anstisemitism. Now no one challenges Muslims who make antisemitic statements towards Jews even when they head their countries, e.g. Egypt and Iran. Antisemites are accepted in polite society in the US and in Europe. Ted Belman
The Simon Wiesenthal Center is calling on President Obama to publicly condemn the anti-Semitic call for Jihad against Israel by the Muslim Brotherhood’s Supreme Guide, Mohammed Badie and to order the cutoff of all contacts with the organization until the threat is withdrawn.
In a speech reported Thursday in al Ahram, Badie said, “The Jews have…spread corruption on earth, spilled the blood of believers and in their actions profane holy places, including their own.” Badie called on Arabs to confront Israel “through Holy Jihad, high sacrifices and all forms of resistance”, adding, “Zionists only understand the language of force and will not relent without duress.”
“Badie’s rant confirms our long held view that Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood is the most dangerous anti-Semitic organization in the world today,” said Rabbis Marvin Hier and Abraham Cooper, founder and dean and associate dean, of the leading Jewish human rights NGO.
“We are not dealing with a Youtube video or a lone extremist Imam, but a call to anti-Semitic violence by a man who has tens of millions of followers and leads the organization that controls Egypt’s future. It cannot be business as usual in Washington when such an assault is launched against the Jewish people,” they added.
We urge President Obama to condemn the rhetoric and cut off all official and unofficial US contacts with the Muslim Brotherhood until they desist from their hate and war mongering,” Hier and Cooper concluded.

@ Sam Goldblatt:
Not a popular sentiment however truthful on this site. 😉
Obama will be re-elected and the SWC is whistling in the wind.
Obama and his democratic party following, including their captive media, appear to ignore the existing conspiracy of the Muslim Brotherhood to subvert the US from within found in the Holy Land foundation case, and the “project” documents found by Swiss authorities in 2005 showing a one hundred year plan of the Muslim Brotherhood to dominate the world. Unlike the made up Protocols of the Elders of Zion, plagiarized from a French novel by the czarist secret police, the Muslim Brotherhood “Explanatory Memorandum on the Strategic Goal of This Group for North America” was entered into evidence in a federal district court and there was no objection based on its authenticity. It had been transmitted by its author to the Shura Council of the Muslim Brotherhood in the United States (its Board of Directors) with a note asking them to read and approve it, and describing it as an update and restatement of the plan they had put into effect in 1987, some 25 years ago. Obama’s has had the US Department of Justice drop any followups on the un-indicted conspirators to determine whether they should be indicted and his captive media and even some Republican Party senior members have shrilly denounced Michele Bachmann for her action in asking the Inspector Generals of several Executive Departments such as Defense, State and National Security to determine whether there is Muslim Brotherhood penetration of those US Government offices. Each time they blame Bachmann and her 5 Senate colleagues, they assert there is no reason for such investigation, they fail to mention the Holy Land Foundation case and the conspiracy revealed by it, to effect through 15 or 20 mainstream Muslim organizations a conspiracy to engage in a “”grand jihad” eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within, and “sabotaging its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.” In Frank Gaffney’s 10 part course, you will find a specific mention of the names of those who have penetrated the US Government and even the Republican Party.
Don’t hold your breath waiting for Obama to cut off contacts with the muslim brotherhood or even condemn its Jew-hatred. He has made it an official policy to legitimize these modern day nazis.
Fat chance that idiot now in the White House will ditch his second most favourite mentor and his organization.
A good Jewish leader together with a following
raising a loud voice to break “accepted anti
semistism” is one way to go. Lots of letters to elected officials. Keep the voice going.
Hopefully, Obama will be out of the White House
this election, then there might be more hope.
Next, they can ask Obama to take them to Disneyland.
You don’t beg Obama, you defeat him. When SWC grows a pair and stops bending to the left, maybe they’ll do some good instead of just capitalizing on a calamity.
