A Tale of Two T-shirts
Apollo Braun, aka Doron Braunshtein is well known for being provocative. He has a shop on Orchard Street on the Lower East Side of New York where he sells a wide variety of clothing items, many of his own design. He’s received a bit of publicity of late when a woman wearing one of his t-shirts was assaulted. Why? Because the t-shirt read “Obama is my Slave” and I guess the women assaulting her found it offensive. In typical overly-litigious American fashion, she now plans on suing Braun for “all he’s got.” Braun has in the past also marketed shirts with messages such as Obama=Hitler and Jews Against Obama.

Obama Braun Kerfuffle

Braun has been or is scheduled to be interviewed by Time Magazine, The Guardian, Fox News and Russian Vogue. This story has created quite a shit storm with the blogs abuzz and the traditional media ready to follow. Into this frenzy steps in Dan Sieradski of the Orthodox Anarchist and the JTA. After calling Braun a “batshit crazy publicity whore” and “a despicable bigot and a paranoid fool” in a turgidly written post about this story, he offers his own t-shirt (pictured above to the right) where he claims that Braun (who is Israeli) is living proof that Zionism=Racism. After his shirt was called “retarded” by Harry in the comments section, Sieradski added a clarification at the bottom of his post that makes about as much sense as most of what he writes.

Braun told me that “as an artist my job is to say whatever the fuck I want. I’m an agitator, this is what I do.” He further added “My shirt isn’t about Obama, it’s about freedom of speech.” When asked if he was a racist Braun answered “I’m not a racist! I love black cock!” And his reaction to Sieradski’s post and t-shirt? “Dan Sieradski is fabulous, I love him! He is free like me to express whatever he wants to!” So who is Braun voting for? “I am voting for Britney Spears. She is the face of America.”

Braun’s $69 shirt is available at his store on Orchard below Houston or on his Web page. Sieradski’s shirt, selling for $100 (Limited Edition!) is available by following the instructions on his post – proceeds will go to “JStreet, Brit Tzedek V’Shalom, the New Israel Fund, and the Union of Progressive Zionists, each of which are working to demonstrate that the love of Israel can also be expressed through the love of humanity.”

  • Well, you can read my opinion over at the OA.

    I’d like to add that not everything that’s legal is legitimate. Not everything that can be said should be said. Not everything that brings cash revenue is a sign of God’s grace (that’s Puritan theology, not Jewish theology). Not everything that is provocational and edgy makes somebody a free-thinking artist.

    That said, I don’t wear T-shirts.

  • The last time Dan Sieradski wrote something to me here in the comments, he complained mightily that I attacked him for his, um, writing, instead of being the older, more mature guide who would recognize his youth.

    In that spirit, Dan, I humbly suggest that the shirt you made shows off little talent although it might become a best-seller with the Saudi royal family, as well as at Ahmadinejad public talks. One thing is certain, though, the shirt you’ve created is an embarrassment to you.

  • Yael, consider this: if the exchange rate will develop further as of lately, $69 may soon equal 3€. 🙂

  • Amen to everything Froylein said in post #3.
    Still, I’d like to add that not every batshit crazy publicity whore needs to be covered by the media — mainstream or otherwise — as if it were the Story of the Century. I live in NYC and have never seen ANY of these shirts, anywhere. Nor have I heard anything remotely resembling the sentiments expressed by Braun re: Obama or his candidacy. (Mind you, I know lots of folks who just don’t care for him but their reasons are based on sound logic and have nothing to do with bigotry.)
    To me this is yellow sensationalist journalism at its worst. Time Magazine, The Guardian, Fox News, Russian Vogue, etc. are only fanning flames — no, make that a tiny insignificant spark — into a shitstorm of controversy just to create a good story. That they’re doing it at the expense of two communities that have traditionally shared a unique and sometimes rocky relationship, and are still trying to build/repair bridges and restore their historical alliance with each other, is pretty sickening. I haven’t read Sieradski’s take on this non-issue but it seems like he’s only adding fuel to the fire. And I sincerely hope the organizations he plans to donate the proceeds to refuse to accept them… if he really claims to give a sh!t he would understand that “peace and love of humanity” can only be achieved through thoughtful, extensive dialog and not hateful, idiotic slogans on cheap T-shirts.

  • I love the Jews Against Obama T-Shirt. I’m going to get one, only because it’s so untrue. It would be akin to wearing one that says:

    “Jewish men are all alpha males”

  • You want to rebuild the bonds between African Americans and Jews, you’d have to “off” Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and Louis Farrakhan. That would be the best place to start. While they’re still around, good luck to you. That relationship became a one way street a long time ago. Nearly every Jew I know would vote for a black person, yet, I don’t know one that would vote for a Jew.

  • Alex, you’d also have to “off” — or at least have some harsh words with — Ed Koch, Assemblyman Mark Green, Jack Abramoff, and of course permanently duct tape the mouth of the increasingly clueless and ever-unfunny Jackie Mason. If that’s what you mean by rebuilding the bonds between the two communities. Personally I doubt any of those guys are a serious obstacle — the real problem is the way the media jumps on every little thing one individual does or says in either community, then blows it out of proportion and whips the public into a frenzy so that reasonable individuals from both sides (who far outnumber the lunatic fringe) are discouraged and intimidated from approaching the “other.” Then of course there are those watching from the sidelines (on both the Right and the Left) who are willing to exploit this pathetic scenario for their own agendas.

  • That’s why I used “off”, as ambiguous as it is. I by no means endorse violence unless it is directed at those who actively plan or participate in harm to you. If I was an orthodox teen in Crown Heights at the time of the riots or the Twana Barwley incident, that would be a different story. Farrakhan on the other hand is a no brainer. Jesse Jackson has been pretty enjoyable lately though. Wasn’t he the one calling for banning the N word anyway? Haha.

    Sheela, I agree with your statement wholeheartedly about 2/3rds down. I haven’t seen Jackie lately, but from what I’ve watched, he’s been saying the things that need to be said that many don’t have the balls to say. His points on Democrats ring a bell. He sounds a lot like most of the elders in my family. Being a Russian Jew, we certainly agree on a lot. I’ll have to look into the others you’ve mentioned as I don’t recall any Jewish Racists offhand. Oh, there was Michael Richards, but only his lawyer pretended he was a Jew. Many Americans may think he is because EVERYONE on that show must have been. 🙂

  • Sheela, Middle, if you want to reprimand Alex, you have to do the following:

    SASHKA!!!

    (Next step will be to add a few Russian curses. 🙂 )

  • Hmmmm…. I don’t know what “sashka” means, but it sounds good and reprimand-atory. 🙂 Could someone please translate?

  • On another note, has anyone ever met this guy? I have – once, whilst browsing in his store. This guy is such an over-the-top caricature – period. If Sacha Baron Cohen’s “Borat” had a baby with “Bruno”, he would be Apollo Braun.

    PS: http://www.apollobraun.com/music.cfm

  • Sheela,

    My name in Russian has multiple versions that include, Alex, Alexander, Sasha (Sashka), Sanya, and Shurik. I know, weird.

  • Is this forreal? This is the most ignorant shit I have ever come across…and people think racism is over? That stupid BITCH wearing that shirt deserved to get her ass kicked into a coma. Then the little bitch ass designer wants to say it’s his right to free speech??? FUCK FREE SPEECH! Why is she suing the designer? No one put a gun to her head and said wear it. She thought that mess was funny and cute. The days of slavery are long gone and this isn’t the 60’s. Personally, I think that anyone that has that shirt on is asking for it…WTF?

  • This Mobius guy is a real chump. I hope some old jewish veteran catches him at some protest and beats his ass like you do to s***-stirrers.

  • Anti-black racism is not a Euro-Christian invention. It is a Euro-Judaic invention. European Christians learn to hate dark skin from European Jews.

    Please visit the following websites for proof (all proof is based on literature written by European Jews only):

    1) http://www.ottmall.com/mj_ht_arch/v15/mj_v15i20.html#CDX
    2) http://www.africandiasporalenterprises.com/euro_judaic_racism.html.

    Doron Braunshtein wears that shirt proudly because he is Ashkenazim (of German Jewish extraction). This is what he was taught as a child, as are many European Jews.

  • Thanks, Cheryl, for giving us a fine example of anti-“White”, anti-European, anti-Christian, and anti-Jewish racism all in one bash.

    Jews sure do love a bargain.

  • Mommy, why are you teaching us hateful lies about Jews?

  • I would like to take credit for it, but I can’t. The Midrash Rabbah was written by Jews. The Talmud was written by Jews. Legends of Jews was written by Louis Ginsberg, who is a Jew. Artsot Ha-Hayyim was written by Dov Ber Schwartz, who is a Jew.

    Marc Shapiro, the person from whom I discovered this information, is also Jewish. You can visit his website at http://www.ottmall.com/mj_ht_arch/v15/mj_v15i20.html#CDX.

    Like I said, I would like to take credit for it, but I can’t. Everything I mentioned in my post was written by European Jews.

    Thanks for the compliment.

    If you want to challenge the veracity of what I posted, you can challenge me by placing it in the newspapers or going public. I know you don’t think you snide comment has any affect on me here.

  • I am not your mommy, nor do I wish to be. However, the things I uploaded to the post were all written by European Jews.

    That the truth hurts your feelings is not my problem. Get a life.

    And if you ever feel you wish to challenge me, my address is listed at my website.

    That “let’s gang up on the schvartze” routine will not work with me unless all of you have a gun and are willing face me — which I doubt, so crawl back under your rock and wait with baited breath while I tell every black person in the United States about the Euro-Judaic connection to anti-dark-skin racism.

    And tell Apollo Braun that he wants a slave, he better use your mother. Schvartzes aren’t available anymore.

  • Cheryl, if you were seriously involved in racism studies, you’d know there’s a huge difference between individuals’ sentiments and the gross negative stereotyping of a certain ethnicity, nationality, religion or gender. Though if you want, we may start considering all black people hiphop gangstas – once we’ve got lobotomies on ourselves done, so your claims might then be somewhat justified. There’s no need to place anything in a newspaper or go any more public than this blog; gladly enough we know that the majority of black people doesn’t feel the way you do about Jews, Christians, Europeans, and whites.

  • At the website Mail.Jewish.Mailing.List (http://www.ottmall.com/mj_ht_arch/v15/mj_v15i20.html#CDX) Marc Shapiro writes:

    “The curse of Ham was something I learned of as a child and could not understand its origin from the words in Genesis. The curse of Ham was widely used by slave owners in the South to justify the enslavement of blacks. In my studies of slavery I was unable to find the basis. Only when I began studying Torah and various commentaries did I find the source. Somehow the rabbinic commentaries made their way into Christian
    culture and became an underpinning for anti-black racism.”

    Mr. Shapiro also writes:

    How to defeat racism? Torah is obviously not the answer since so many Jews who spend their whole lives immersed in Torah are racists.”

    Don’t be a friggin’ idiot and believe that just because a person points out the mistakes made a Jew that the person is anti-Semitic. And even if the person is anti-Semitic, a person has a right to his or her own thoughts as long as they don’t interfere with you. Also, stop believing that everyone is supposed to like you because you are a Jew. I don’t have to like you; all I have to do is stay out of your way and you stay out of mine.

    Where I am concerned, your best bet is to stay under the rock from which you tried to crawl. If you challenge me publicly you will lose because I did not write Midrash Rabbah, the Talmud, Legends of the Jews, Artsot Ha-Hayyim.

    Your own people wrote it.

    I have discovered the truth behind the hatred of dark-skin, and I did not learn it from Louis Farrakhan or some other individuals that many Jews love to hate. I learned it in 1997 from a soft-spoken Hasidic man name Mr. Weider. He is the first person to tell me that blacks are cursed.

    Now…put that in your pipe and smoke it.

    Any challengers?

  • Dear Froylein:

    I do not care what you say: European Judaism teaches that black skin is the sign of a curse. I posted proof of it at my website and here.

    When push comes to shove, who will black people believe: European Jews who continue to hide their literature that contains anti-black racism, or me who tried to expose it.

    I don’t need Jews to accept what I say. I just need them to know I am saying it. And if you wish to ignore me, go ahead. Remember: Blacks have very few stores in Jewish neighborhoods, but Jews has a lot of stores in ours.

    I don’t need your acceptance or permission. It is enough to know that I am telling as many black people as I can and there ain’t a damn thing you can do to stop it.

    I don’t need you.

  • Mr Shapiro obviously didn’t get that slavery in the US and slave trade in Northern Africa were neither initiated by Jews nor were Northern African or American Jews of that time in a position to benefit from slavery in any way. There was slavery in Ancient Israel – as there was throughout the Ancient world – but the perversion of Ancient customs in Modern Times can hardly be blamed on the very demographic that has overcome those customs. It doesn’t take a philosophy professor to see that absurdity in that line of reasoning.

    Don’t be a friggin’ idiot and believe that just because a person points out the mistakes made a Jew that the person is anti-Semitic.

    Firstly, I’d kindly like to ask you to adjust your vocabulary to a level common in civil adult discourse. I refuse to respond in kind to such foul language.
    Secondly, I don’t believe that any person pointing out mistakes or even crimes committed by Jews is anti-Semite. I do, however, believe that somebody who will use gross oversimplifications, generalizations and negative stereotyping directed against Jews is an anti-Semite.

    And even if the person is anti-Semitic, a person has a right to his or her own thoughts as long as they don’t interfere with you.

    Apart from you admitting to being anti-Semitic in that line, the flaw in that train of thought is to assume that anti-Semitism doesn’t interfere with me and my interests. As history has shown, racism, such as anti-semitism, has a tendency of spreading fast, avalanche-like. My point of view is that the beginnings should be fought rather than to sit and watch in bewilderment.

    Also, stop believing that everyone is supposed to like you because you are a Jew. I don’t have to like you; all I have to do is stay out of your way and you stay out of mine.

    I’m not quite certain where you get the notion from that I want everybody to like me. I suppose my at times rather opinionated ways could prove you wrong if you could be bothered to read the blog posts and comments I’ve written so far. That aside, I hope you’ve noticed I’m one of the bloggers on here, so you, as a matter of fact, have chosen to cross paths with me and get in my way.

    Where I am concerned, your best bet is to stay under the rock from which you tried to crawl.

    If you must know, I live in a five-floor house with a garden. But as I’ve mentioned in another comment thread, I used to entertain a certain fascination with speleology when I was younger, but I digress.

    If you challenge me publicly you will lose because I did not write Midrash Rabbah, the Talmud, Legends of the Jews, Artsot Ha-Hayyim.

    Neither have I. Had I done, I’d charge royalties.
    On a sidenote, I didn’t found the “Nation of Islam” either.

    Your own people wrote it.

    I own a lot of things; several thousand books, more than a hundred pairs of shoes, a neolithic millstone. But people I don’t own.

    I learned it in 1997 from a soft-spoken Hasidic man name Mr. Weider. He is the first person to tell me that blacks are cursed.

    Well, that indeed was a nasty thing of him to say. Want me to go and beat him up?

    Now…put that in your pipe and smoke it.

    I neither smoke nor do drugs; I also hardly drink alcohol, which might explain that I don’t feel paranoia, a common side-effect of substance abuse.

    Any challengers?

    I’m afraid there only are a bunch of pitiful and amused Yidn on the menu today.

  • To Froylein:

    Quote: “Apart from you admitting to being anti-Semitic in that line…”

    I do not know if I will ever be able to find you. But if I do, I going to sue you for defamation of character and for attempting to coerce my silence by accusing me of being anti-Semite. If you can meet my legal challenge you will give me your contact information so that I can mail the lawsuit to you.

    If not, I will file a lawsuit against owners of this site, file a subpoena duces tecum against them, and then get your name.

    You better be able to prove that I am anti-Semite stupid.

  • Cheryl, I’ll gladly contact the local public prosecution department tomorrow and have them analyze your comments for anti-Semitic tendencies given the laws in effect in my country of residence. I shall also ask them to evaluate whether my above line could in any way be interpreted as an attempt of silencing you, particularly since I’ve responded to your comments in a kindness and politeness you yourself have not necessarily displayed.

  • What was I saying:

    Oh yes…

    Remember when I said that many goyim are afraid of Jews? Here’s proof: You accused me of being anti-Semitic. Goyim are terrified of being called anti-Semitic because they fear the wrath of the Jewish community. Many people, desperate and afraid to stay on Jews’ good side will allow themselves to be bullied, instead of speaking up and risking their wrath.

    Well guess what? I ain’t afraid of you? Like I said, IF I AM anti-Semitic, that is a personal choice that I have a right to make. I don’t have to like Jews.

    Twisting my statements to make it appear that I am anti-Semitic, and then say that I am an anti-Semite without proof makes you both a bully and a slanderer. You are the type of bully that many many in the goy community fear Jews.

    You want to call me an anti-Semite? Keep saying it, stupid. I have no problem taking your money.

    In the meantime, do me a favor. Instead of changing the subject in an wasted attempt to divert attention away from Euro-Judaic-anti-black racism, why don’t you research the following books and find out why many Jewish rabbis wrote what they did about blacks:

    Midrash Rabbah (Soncino) Vol. 1, p. 293 says: “AND HE SAID: CURSED BE CANAAN (Breishit 9:25): (Commentary omitted)…R. Huna also said in R. Joseph’s name: You [i.e. Noah is speaking to Ham) have prevented me from doing something in the dark [i.e. cohabiting with his wife], therefore your seed will be ugly and dark-skinned. R. Chiyya said: Ham and the dog copulated in the Ark, therefore Ham came forth black-skinned while the dog publicly exposed its copulation.”

    Babylonian Talmud, Tractate Sanhedrin, pg. 108b: “Our Rabbis taught: Three copulated in the ark, and they were all punished – the dog, the raven and Ham. The dog was doomed to be tied, the raven expectorates [his seed into his mate’s mouth], and Ham was smitten in his skin.” (This is footnoted and the footnote reads: “I.e., from him was descended Cush (the Negro), who is black-skinned.”

    Artsot Ha-Hayyim, pg. 52 (“quoting other rabbis): “the reason Abraham Lincoln was killed was because he freed the blacks. This is also the reason why Kennedy was killed, i.e. because he was good to the blacks…this will be the fate of any who adopt a progressive attitude towards blacks, because they are meant to be enslaved.”

    Legends of the Jews, Vol. 1, pg. 169: “”The descendants of Ham through Canaan therefore have red eyes, because Ham looked upon the nakedness of his father; they have misshapen lips, because Ham spoke with his lips to his brothers about the unseemly condition of his father; they have twisted curly hair, because Ham turned and twisted his head round to see the nakedness of his father; and they go about naked, because Ham did not cover the nakedness of his father. Thus he was requited, for it is the way of G-d to mete out punishment measure for measure. …The last will and testament of Canaan addressed to his children read as follows: “Speak not the truth; hold not yourselves aloof from theft; lead a dissolute life; hate your master with an exceeding great hate; and love one another.”

    At the Jewish website entitled “Gentiles in Halacha” (http://www.come-and-hear.com/supplement/so-daat-emet/index.html) it is says the following:

    “In this article R’ Bar-Chayim discusses the attitude towards “Gentiles” in the Torah and in the Halacha and comes to an unambiguous conclusion: “The Torah of Israel makes a clear distinction between a Jew, who is defined as ‘man,’ and a Gentile.” That is to say, any notion of equality between human beings is irrelevant to the Halacha. R’ Bar-Chayim’s work is comprehensive, written with intellectual honesty, and deals with almost all the aspects of Halachic treatment of non-Jews. It also refutes the statements of those rabbis who speak out of wishful thinking and, influenced by concepts of modern society, claim that Judaism does not discriminate against people on religious grounds. R’ Bar-Chayim shows that all these people base their constructs not on the Torah but solely on the inclinations of their own hearts. He also shows that there are even rabbis who intentionally distort the Halachic attitude to Gentiles, misleading both themselves and the general public.
    For the English readers’ convenience we will briefly mention the topics dealt with in R’ Bar-Chayim’s article:

    1) Laws in regard to murder, which clearly state that there is Halachic difference between murder of a Jew and of a Gentile (the latter is considered a far less severe crime).

    2) A ban on desecrating the Sabbath to save the life of a Gentile.

    3) A Jew’s exemption from liability if his property (e. g. ox) causes damage to a Gentile’s property. But if a Gentile’s property causes damage to a Jew’s property, the Gentile is liable.

    4) The question of whether robbery of a Gentile is forbidden by the Torah’s law or only by a Rabbinic decree.

    5) A ban on returning a lost item to a Gentile if the reason for returning it is one’s sympathy towards the Gentile and compassion for him.

    6) The sum which a Gentile overpays in a business transaction due to his own error is forfeit; whether a Jew is permitted to intentionally deceive a Gentile is also discussed.

    7) One who kidnaps a Jew is liable to death, but one who kidnaps a Gentile is exempt.

    8) A Jew who hurts or injures a Gentile is not liable for compensation of damage, but a Gentile who hurts a Jew is liable to death.

    9) One who overcharges a Gentile ought not return him the sum that the Gentile overpaid.

    10) A Gentile — or even a convert to Judaism — may not be appointed king or public official of any sort (e. g. a cabinet minister).

    11) One who defames a female proselyte (claiming that she was not virgin at the time of her marriage) is liable to neither lashes nor fine. The prohibition to hate applies only to Jews; one may hate a Gentile.

    12) The may take revenge against or bear a grudge towards Gentiles; likewise, the commandment “love your neighbor” applies only to Jews, not to Gentiles.

    13) One who sees Gentile graveyards should curse: “Your mother shall be greatly ashamed…”

    14) Gentiles are likened to animals.

    15) If an ox damaged a Gentile maidservant, it should be considered as though the ox damaged a she-ass.

    16) The dead body of a Gentile does not bear ritual impurity, nor does a Gentile who touches the dead body of a Jew become impure — he is considered like an animal who touched a dead body.

    17) One is forbidden to pour anointing oil on a Jew, but there is no ban on pouring that oil on a Gentile because Gentiles are likened to animals.

    18) An animal slaughtered by a Gentile is forbidden, even if the ritual slaughter performed was technically correct, because Gentiles are deemed like animals. (Daat Emet does not agree that this is the Halachic reason for invalidating a Gentile’s ritual slaughter — but this is not the place to delve into the subject).

    19) Their members are like those of asses” — Gentiles are likened to animals.

  • Cheryl, I could start quoting lots of nasty things that have been written about Jews in many cultures, but that doesn’t mean that the offspring of those cultures are inherently (!) anti-Semitic. As to your other claims, I’d kindly ask you to re-read my above comments. And if you so insist, I’ll have law professionals taking care of this case.

  • Froylein:

    Also, please remember that I receive all your answers in my e-mail. It is my plan to make sure that as many Black people as possible see your stupid, bullyish, defamatory responses even when I showed you proof that Euro-Judaism still promulgates hatred of black skin.

    In the meantime, please try to find out why some of your people still teach this bull****.

    And make sure that the next time you call a goy a anti-Semite, that you are able to prove it. It’s bad enough you and this website are now facing lawsuit. You don’t want to have start flappin’ your mouth and make the same mistake again.

    Israeli Citizens for BDS In support of Boycott Divestment and Sanctions on Israel to End the Occupation Primary links BDS in Israel

    Reuven Abarjel, Founder of Israel’s Black Panthers, in supports the Academic Boycott of Israel

    Statement by Reuven Abarjel, Founder of Israel’s Black Panthers, in supports the Academic Boycott of Israel — Translated by Smadar.Lavie

    Tuesday, June 6, 2006.

    To The Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel

    NATFHE – The University and College Lecturers’ Union, Britain

    I am Reuven Abarjel. I was born in Morocco and have lived in Israel since 1950. In the 1970s I founded the Black Panthers Movement. Our struggle against the regime was difficult and without compromise. The violence spread in the streets and in order to break the Mizrahi resistance, the police acted with full force under the instructions of then prime-minister Golda Meir. From the onset of our struggle the Black Panthers embarked on a dialogue with both local and European Palestinian leadership. Black Panthers delegations traveled to Italy, France, Belgium and the Netherlands. Concurrently, we met in refugee camps with bereaved families who lost their children to the struggle against the occupation. Just before Hon. Chairman Yasser Arafat died I joined a delegation of activists who met with him in the besieged Muqata`a.

    At the onset of our struggle I began understanding that the problem is way deeper than I thought, complicated to the extent that the average person finds it difficult to come up with solutions. The confusion is tremendous because the Israeli political system, maintained by external capitalist motives, causes the oppressed Palestinian and Mizrahi groups to collapse under the weight of the oppression and occupation.

    The Mizrahim in Israel went through a sophisticated process of oppression under the guise of slogans such as “we are all brothers,” and “we are all Jews.” While the Ashkenazi establishment beamed with “solidarity” toward us, it committed crimes against us such as medical experiments in radioactive radiation of about 100,000 children, almost all of whom immigrants from North Africa, kidnapping children from large Mizrahi families and transferring them to childless European Jewish couples, and the exclusion of Mizrahi Jews from Israel’s educational institutions and centers of influence.

    It is the duty of every pacifist in this world, whether academic or not, to join the struggle against racist governments who practice discrimination against the minorities and disenfranchised groups who constitute their population. It is the duty of every pacifist to encourage these groups to raise their voice and enact their influence anywhere, let alone in this highly charged region that threatens world peace. I was glad to hear that a large group of British academics has raised an outcry and OKed a decision comprised of three demands:

    (1) An end to the occupation

    (2) An end to the structural discrimination of the Palestinian citizens of Israel in the arena of education

    (3) A demand from Israel that its higher education system must reflect the majority of its citizenry. This majority is the Mizrahim.

    These were some of the demands of the Black Panthers Movement which I had founded. Our struggle was against the racism, discrimination and oppression of the non-European populations of Israel and of the territories it occupied after 1967. Today I am a senior member of the Mizrahi Democratic Rainbow.

    Here we are, 35 years later, when a large group of intellectuals is rising up, able to stand tall against the Zionist academic-political hegemony of Israel and of the world. Their resistance to this hegemony is not dependent on the wishes of Zionism and its followers. The importance of the boycott is not in the very act of boycotting, but in the resistive stand against the Israeli academy and its collaboration with Israel’s political hegemony.

    Even though I am not an academic I add my signature. I take pride in the struggles I conducted and still conduct against a violent force, which requires a larger force in order to restrain it. I hope that the ranks of the boycott will continue to grow until the occupation is over, and racism and discrimination, abolished.

    Let blessing be bestowed upon you,

    Reuven Abarjel.

  • Hey Anti-Semite. Oops, I mean Cheryl, why don’t you sue me for slander?

  • In an internet article entitled “Israeli Black-African Jews Complain Against Racism (http://www.africaresource.com/rasta/sesostris-the-great-the-egyptian-hercules/israeli-black-african-jews-complain-against-racism/) it says the following:

    Israeli Black-African Jews Complain Against Racism
    Ethiopians clash with police; 8 hurt
    Sheera Claire Frenkel, THE JERUSALEM POST Nov. 6, 2006

    What was meant to be a peaceful rally for Ethiopian rights turned violent Monday, when demonstrators clashed with police in front of the Health Ministry in Jerusalem, leaving 19 people injured.

    More than 200 people gathered in front of the government compound to protest discrimination against Ethiopians. The boiling point, they said, was a recent decision by the Health Ministry to discard donated Ethiopian blood.

    “We won’t allow our blood to be spilled like this. The Torah says that blood is the soul. How can this country treat us, fellow Jews, this way?” said Gadi Yabarken, one of the protest’s organizers. “We will not leave unless the prime minister agrees to meet with us.”

    While Prime Minister Ehud Olmert refused to meet with the protesters, Immigration and Absorption Minister Ze’ev Boim met with a small group of their representatives and promised to approach Olmert to ask him to create a ministerial committee dedicated to the Ethiopian community. Boim also promised to work for the release the five activists who were arrested during the protest.

    The only politician to address the protest was MK Ran Cohen (Meretz). “I feel your pain. A country that discriminates against Ethiopian Jews is a racist country,” said Cohen, who added that he would raise the issue in the Knesset plenum.
    Demonstrators answered Cohen’s speech with shouts that they were “sick of the false promises” of politicians.

    Yabarken said the government had not upheld any of its promises to advance Ethiopian rights or deal with problems such as raising the salaries of Ethiopian religious leaders to match other rabbis, expand Falash Mura immigration or increase affirmative-action programs.

    “These problems have been building up for some time, but to find out that they will throw our blood away, for no reason other than racist discrimination, that is too much to bear,” Yabarken said.

  • Black Israelis Committing Suicide, Called ‘Niggers’ by White Jews
    (http://www.americancivilrightsreview.com/dvisraelvsethiopians3.html)

    Integration Even In Israel Is Not Working

    Proof that integration between black and white is one of the most difficult things in the world to accomplish is what has happened in Israel.There seems to be a natural affinity against integrating the two races.

    Some have noticed the angry, rioting Ethiopian reactions and how similarthis behavior pattern is to what blacks in the USA did in L.A. and the ANCin S. Africa did in Soweto, Johannesburg, and other S.A. towns and cities.

    By Danny Gur-arieh
    JERUSALEM, March 31 (Reuter) – Israeli soldier Elan Tamana used tocomplain to his sister that his platoon comrades called him a “nigger.” Last week the Ethiopian-born Jew took his life.

    Leaders of Israel’s Ethiopian community say Tamana is the 20th Ethiopian soldier to commit suicide in three years.

    They blame racism in the army’s ranks.

    It is the Ethiopians’ latest charge of racism in the Jewish state, which secretly air lifted thousands of the black Jews to Israel in the 1980s and1990s.

    “Every time he came home he said they were calling him ‘kushi’ (nigger), humiliating him, telling him not to drink out of their cups, to bring hisown cup from home,” Elan’s sister Tolad Mazal Tamana told reporters.

    She said her brother kept hoping the situation would improve. Eventually he snapped.

    More than 95 percent of Ethiopian 18-year-olds enlist for mandatory servicecompared with a nationwide average of around 83 percent. The army has alwaysbeen touted as a national melting pot.

    But Ethiopians say their dark skin and reserved manner in the face of garrulous and often assertive Israelis have made army service difficult.

    The army says 10 — not 20 — Ethiopians have killed themselves during their military service since 1993 but insists most of the suicides were due to family problems or other outside factors.

    Poverty runs high among Israel’s 62,000 Ethiopian immigrants. Many still live in cramped caravans provided by the government when they first arrived.

    “I think there is no other place outside the army where Ethiopian immigrants are so accepted, so respected, where they are given equal opportunities,” chief army spokesman Brigadier-General Oded Ben-Ami.”

    “There are also exceptions but the army knows how to deal with these exceptions,”he said.”

    Ethiopians say another recent incident suggests otherwise.

    When an officer ejected an Ethiopian soldier from an army infirmary thismonth and told medics to hang a sign on the door saying, “No niggers allowed,” he was slapped with a warning.

    Ethiopian leaders demanded the army discharge the officer.

    “It broke my heart. He humiliated me. . .I went to my room and cried foran hour and a half,” said the Ethiopian soldier Avi Asmara. Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu invited Asmara for a meeting on Monday.

    The army spokesman said 1,750 Ethiopians were currently serving in the army. He could not provide overall suicide figures in the military.

    He said all Israeli soldiers undergo seminars on equality and pluralism and Ethiopians were coached on integration in Israeli society. But communityleaders said it was not enough.

    “The army must figure out why these suicides are happening in the army. It points to integration problems and racism among soldiers,” Moshe Bahata,the head of an umbrella group of Ethiopian immigrants, told Reuters.

    He said native Israelis routinely referred to Ethiopians as “niggers” and described them as “primitive.”

    “When I served in the army, soldiers refused to eat the food if the cookin the kitchen was Ethiopian,” said Bahata, adding that the Ethiopian community tended to suffer quietly until their rage suddenly erupted.

    In January of last year, hundreds of Ethiopians fought with police outside the prime minister’s office in Jerusalem after learning from newspaper reports that hospitals were routinely dumping their blood donations for fear of AIDS.

    Officials appointed a state commission to probe the matter.

    “We Ethiopians tend to be introverted,” Bahata said. “If an Ethiopian soldier vents something it’s a sign that things have really reached a breaking point.”

  • Froylein:

    Your response: Oops, I mean Cheryl, why don’t you sue me for slander?

    Defamation of character includes both libel and slander. In addition, there are two forms of defamation: per se and per quod. Accusing someone of anti-Semitism is definitely per se because the law understands that there is generally a bad consequence associated with being called an anti-Semite.

    I do not want to you believe that my lawsuit against you is an idle threat. Filing a poor person’s order, an affidavit in support of a poor person’s order, the summons and the complaint are not a big deal. I have done it several times. What is the big deal is finding out where you live. That takes time and money.

    But don’t worry. Most non-Jews are not familiar with the Midrash Rabbah, the Babylonian Talmud, Artsot Ha-Hayyim, Legends of the Jews and other tangible evidence of Euro-Judaic anti-black racism. I am sure that when they found out they will be shocked.

    So for right now, you can be a smart ass because I don’t know where you are. Suffice it to say that the last insult was done for spite (not at all surprising considering that you are very stupid); the fact that you won’t give me your contact information tells me that you are a coward.

    Using the internet to defame a person is against the law in my country and is viewed as cyberstalking by the United States Department of Justice.

    I DEMAND THAT YOU REFRAIN FROM REFERRING TO ME AS AN ANTI-SEMITE.

    IF YOU — USE THE INTERNET AGAIN TO CALL ME AN ANTI-SEMITE I WILL REPORT BOTH YOU AND JEWLICIOUS.COM TO THE INTERNET CRIME COMPLAINT CENTER (http://www.ic3.gov). ONCE I FILE THE COMPLAINT, IF POSSIBLE, I WILL FILE A FOIA REQUEST TO GET YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION FROM THE AGENCY.

  • According to SEVERAL Euro-Judaic sources, the foundation for the belief in the inferiority of dark-skin comes from European Judaism. European Judaic hatred of dark skin is still a problem in Israel. The reason that Doron Braunshtein created the T-shirt with the sign “Obama is my slave” is because he, like many European Jews, was taught that black skin is the sign of a curse. The Euro-rabbinical teaching regarding the curse of black skin was introduced to Christianity and used by Southern White Christians (Genesis/B’Reshit) 9:25-27) to justify the enslavement of Africans.

    While many European Jews do not subscribe to this doctrine, many European Jews still do, especially among Orthodox Jews.

    These may be painful facts for members of the European Jewish community to accept, but they are the facts. And I have proven them with Euro-Judaic literature.

    If you do not wish to accept what I have proven to be the truth, you are within your rights to do so. But if you use the internet to defame my character, and I know where you are, I WILL SUE YOU.

    Have a nice day.

  • Cheryl, it’s sad to read your rants and feel impotent about educating you. You appear to be so angry in your ignorance about Jewish and Western history that I doubt my comment will change anything in your life but I encourage you to open your mind and read a book called “History in Black” by Professor Yaacov Shavit. There is one chapter in particular in his book where he tackles the confusion in everything you write from an historic perspective. You’ll find it on Google Books and I suggest you read as much as you can from pages 171 to 189, particularly 183 to 189. You’ll learn that you’ve taken a couple of minor verses in Jewish post-biblical exegesis and without much concern for the actual history of the Jewish people as a small and weak minority in Europe, have attributed to the Jewish people the fruits of the labor of others, particularly your white Christian brethern, who sought to besmirch them. I challenge you to read this book and that chapter in particular. You may find it a little more authoritative than some Hasidic Jew in a hospital or another Jew called Shapiro who happens to have a website that appeals to your warped sense of history.

    As a Jewish person, I find what you write offensive. However, I took the time to read up on it and investigate what you wrote. I have read your website and some others and explored some Jewish material as well. You would do yourself a big favor by reading Shavit’s book.

    If you read it, you might also stop attacking Jews in general as you do when you talk about “Euro-Judaic literature.” You don’t seem to know much about what you’ve written, but you have succeeded in writing enough and in such a way that people who read your website and comments will seek to grow the divide between the black and Jewish communities. That’s a shame.

  • Dear Menashe:

    Rants you say? Angry?

    Do yourself a favor, okay. NEVER try to supplant my LEGAL RIGHT to “rant”, vent, complaint, kvetch with your stupid-assed belief in “social norms. LEGAL RIGHTS TRUMP “SOCIAL” NORMS EVERY TIME. U.S. law does not require obedience to societal norms. So if your societal norms don’t fit me, I WON’T OBEY THEM. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT, GENIUS???

    Good.

    First, I HAVE A LEGAL RIGHT TO RANT. If you don’t respect my constitutional right to rant — TO HELL WITH YOU. ASK HA SHEM TO STOP ME. See if He’ll listen.

    Black people have been denied justice for hundreds of years, based on the religiously-oriented Euro-Judaic defamatory doctrine regarding the curse of dark skin. The Euro-Judaic doctrine regarding the curse of dark skin has had such a deleterious effect on the African American community that Africans still engage in activities designed to make themselves less African like lightening their skin, wearing white people weaves, perming their hair, etc.

    Kiri Davis, a young, intelligent, African American teen and aspiring film maker reignited the race issue when she reconducted Dr. Kenneth Clarke’s experiment regarding racism. She interviewed over two dozen African American children and asked them to choose which doll was the good doll — the black doll or the white doll. The great majority of the black children chose the white doll as the good doll and the black doll as the bad doll.

    You can see this experiment at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqSFqnUFOns.

    Those verses that you call “minor” resulted in the world’s worse act of savagery — the African Holocaust. Nearly 100 million Africans suffered murder, rape, loss of family names, loss of cultures, enslavement, economic deprivation and political disenfranchisement. Many thousands more suffered and continue to suffer more of the same during the ensuing years that the defamatory Euro-Judaic doctrine regarding the curse of black skin took root and became a continuing rot in the fabric of American society.

    That you are offended does not mean anything to me. Black people — the primary victims of the Euro-Judaic doctrine regarding the curse of dark skin have no obligation to keep the European Jewish religious community’s dirty laundry secret. The Talmudic prohibition against being a “moser” applies to Jews — not to goyim. Ha Shem never told me that I have an obligation to never hurt Jewish people’s feelings or to hide the truth and make European Jews who teach defamatory religious drivel feel good.

    Another Euro-Judaic doctrine that makes the Euro-Judaic community responsible for the actions of those Jews who promulgated the doctrine regarding the inferiority of black skin in the past and continue to do so now is the Talmudic prohibition against informing on other Jews. At the website entitled “Informing of Fellow Jews Who Commit Crimes” (http://www.come-and-hear.com/editor/moser-broyde/index.html), it says: “…the Talmud recounts – in a number of places – that it is prohibited to inform on Jews to the secular government, even when their conduct is a violation of secular law and even when their conduct is a violation of Jewish law.” Those Jews — INCLUDING YOU — who know about the existence of this terrible doctrine and have chosen to sit by quietly and watch the suffering of helpless, politically deprived schvartzes are equally responsible.

    The third book of the Torah, Leviticus 5:1 says: “Now in case a soul sins…and he is a witness or he has seen it or has come to know of it, if he does not report it, then he must answer for his error.” Leviticus 19:16 says: “You must not go around among your people for the sake of slandering. You must not stand up against your fellow’s blood.”

    In defiance of the Torah, many individuals within the Euro-Judaic community — those who promulgated and continue to promulgate the delusional, stupid, defamatory, satanic, diabolical and murderous doctrine regarding the curse of dark skin, and
    those who wish to keep the promulgation of that doctrine secret are all bloodguilty.

    If Jehovah/Ha Shem desired the Euro-Judaic doctrine regarding the curse of dark skin to remain a secret, he would have prevented Mr. Weider (or Wieder) from disseminating that information to me. And if Jehovah/Ha Shem did not want me to see that what passes itself off as “God’s law” is really nothing more than man-made defamatory drivel, He, in his wisdom, would have found a way to stop me from finding the information during the three years that I tried to force myself to forget about what Mr. Weider/Wieder told me. Believe me, from August 1997 to 2000 I really did try to forget about Mr. Weider/Wieder’s claims because they were hurtful.

    But Jehovah/Ha Shem had other plans for me.

    Whether you accept what I say is not my problem. I intend to tell every black person in American about my findings. If you believe that what I am saying is not true, or that what I am saying is defamatory to Jewish people — GO PUBLIC!!! Tell the New York Times that I am saying things that make Jewish people cry (boo hoo hoo). Tell them that I am twisting the Midrash Rabbah, the Babylonian Talmud, Legends of the Jews, Artstot Ha-Hayyim and other Euro-Judaic literature that advocates the “animal” status of goyim, and the accursed status of schvartzes.”

    You find what I wrote offensive? If you were a king, a potentate, or some person of great social importance, I might be concerned. But you are an ordinary Jew, and I am an ordinary schvartze.

    Are you offended? Too bad. Get over it.

  • Menashe:

    Your statement: “If you read it, you might also stop attacking Jews in general as you do when you talk about “Euro-Judaic literature.” You don’t seem to know much about what you’ve written, but you have succeeded in writing enough and in such a way that people who read your website and comments will seek to grow the divide between the black and Jewish communities. That’s a shame.”

    My response: If you believe in your silly assertions, there is just one thing you need to do: GO PUBLIC. SHOW THE PUBLIC EVERYTHING I HAVE WRITTEN.

    Public scrutiny is the real crucible for determining the veracity and morality of an issue. The issue regarding the Euro-Judaic doctrine regarding the inferiority of black skin is such a heated topic that if the European Jewish community really wanted closure, it would invite the public scrutiny.

    Let’s put it this way: You ain’t got you choice. Now it’s public.

  • Hmm, Menashe was trying to be polite with you and yet you continued with your idiotic rants.

    It seems to me that we have been very hospitable in allowing you to post your “public” comments. In case you’re wondering why, it’s because we are familiar with the same bullshit coming from sites like Stormfront. At some point we’ll tire of you and politely banish your comments.

    Menashe points out that your grasp of history is poor and the little you know makes no sense. Maybe it’s because you don’t want to convict other Christians such as yourself (but of a different skin color) of the horrors that were done to black people, but I’m afraid they and the Romans (who were pretty good at finding and making their victims slaves) are where you’re going to have to look to find your historic satisfaction for the suffering and deprivation of your people.

    Now really, I mean it, your ignorance is shocking. In my opinion, so are your idiotic observations that just because Menashe or others here spoke to you in response to your negative comments, that anybody thinks of you in racist terms. Stupidity crosses all color lines and I think that you are simply a stupid person regardless of your skin color. Also, the only person here who is making broad, negative generalities is you.

    By the way, according to dictionary.com, antisemitism is defined as “discrimination against or prejudice or hostility toward Jews” and “the intense dislike for and prejudice against Jewish people.” Do you think you’re antisemitic, Cheryl? On the basis of what you have published here so far, do you think that people might surmise that you’re antisemitic?

    I’m just asking.

  • themiddle:

    Your comment: “seems to me that we have been very hospitable in allowing you to post your “public” comments.

    My response: After several hundred years of schvartzes being slandered by defamatory Euro-Judaic drivel regarding the curse of dark skin, the European Jewish community owes us that — AT THE VERY LEAST.

    Your statement: “we have been very hospitable in allowing you to post your “public” comments.”

    My response: What do you mean by “we?” You and your predatory “let’s silence the schvartze” crew? Get a grip. The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution is responsible for my freedom of speech. The fact is, the First Amendment also allowed European Jews to disseminate the myth regarding the curse of dark skin. But if you and your whinny friends want to take credit for giving this schvartze freedom of speech, go ahead, genius. However, if you have deluded yourself into believing that you hold the power to control my speech, try to take it from me, and see if I don’t file a lawsuit against jewlicious.com for violating my First Amendment right to free speech.

    I am going to try an experiment: I am going to make a T-shirt with a picture of Doron Braunshtein. Under the picture it will say: Why did this fool call Obama “my slave?” I will also put a picture of a black man who was lynched. Under the picture, I am going to place page 293 of Midrash Rabbah, the part that refers to the descendants of Ham as “ugly and dark-skinned.” Then I am going to say: European Judaism is the foundation for the hatred of dark skin. Lastly, I am going to stand on the block where Apollo Braun’s sells that crap he wants to pass off as “fashion” store and say: “It’s my right to free speech!”

    You need to understand that just as the European Jewish community exercised their freedom of speech and disseminated information regarding the curse of dark skin without caring if black people were hurt or not, I AM DOING THE SAME THING. The only difference is: I AM TELLING THE TRUTH.

    I plan to make “fashionable” T-shirts with the Midrash Rabbah, page 293, the Talmud, page 108b, the Legends of the Jews, page 169, the Aggadah, Artsot Ha-Hayyim — and proudly display it to millions of goyim who don’t know the truth.

    Anti-black racism exists in Israel where European Jews discriminate against Ethopian Jews. Anti-dark skin racism exists against European Jews and the darker-skinned Mizrahim. Anti-dark-skin racism exists between European Jews and their darker-skinned Arab neighbors. The same anti-dark-skin racism exists in the way European Jews of South African underpay their native South African employees.

    European Jews who taught that stupid shit about the curse of dark skin should have thought about it before unleashing that bullshit on the world — and before they started slandering my people.

    Payback’s a bitch, baby girl. You don’t like it? Too bad. Get over it.

  • Listen, we are not going to go to the brothers at the NY Times over some t-shirts. It’s got to be important. If we can’t call you or your website antisemitic, why would they care at all? I gave you two definitions of antisemitism to go by. Are you or aren’t you antisemitic?

  • themiddle:

    I see that you take pleasure in referring to what I’ve said with terms like “idiotic rants”, “bullshit”, “a stupid person.” Why didn’t you refer to those European Jews who wrote anti-black bullshit in books like the the Talmud, the Midrash Rabbah, the Legend of the Jew as “idiotic rants,” and “bullshit” and the writers as “stupid people?”

    Oh, yeah I forget: Goy are not supposed to criticize Jews. My bad.

    Your statement: “Do you think you’re antisemitic, Cheryl?”

    There is only one way to prove that — in a court room.

    Ready for me to sue you for defamation of character, stupid?

    Are you anti-Hamitic?

  • themiddle:

    Your statement: Listen, we are not going to go to the brothers at the NY Times over some t-shirts. It’s got to be important. If we can’t call you antisemitic, why would they care at all? I gave you two definitions to go by. Are you or aren’t you?

    My response: The reason why you can’t go to “your brothers” at the New York Times is because you don’t have anything newsworthy (i.e. proof of your allegations, dumb-ass). Since you have no proof of your allegations, “your brothers” at the times would not be able to do anything with me, for (obvious) fear that I would sue the shit out of them, and for fear of (really) bad publicity (i.e. they would not want to pick in a helpless schvartze).

    Your statement: I gave you two definitions to go by. Are you or aren’t you?

    My response: Let me tell you something, you arrogant, stupid schmuck. No one has any responsibility to tell Jews what they think. I have a constitutional right to privacy — and that privacy extends to my thoughts. If I said no, you would said “she’s lying.” If I said “yes”, you’d say “see?” So guess what? I am not giving you answer.

    The world does not owe Jews exposure of their private thoughts. If you think that I am anti-Semitic, go ahead. I don’t give a shit. Just watch your mouth, because if I lock horns with you in a courtroom, the first thing that will happen is that everything that I have said on this site will be publicized. And you will lose.

    Suffice it to say that if you say it, and you can’t prove it, I will kick your ass in court.

    Got it?

  • How have I defamed you, Cheryl? I asked you whether you felt that your comments have been antisemitic. Have they been?

  • Also, asserting that a Jew has horns is reminiscent of historically antisemitic imagery. I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt that you weren’t aware of that since you mentioned that you also had horns.

  • themiddle:

    Your statement: How have I defamed you, Cheryl? I asked you whether you felt that your comments have been antisemitic. Are they?

    My response: You and your stupid cybermob still trying to defame my character by calling me anti-semitic?

    Seems like your desire to attack schvartzes has made to stupid and forgetful. Let me remind you what said: “”Do you think you’re antisemitic, Cheryl?”

    The only reason I can’t sue you is because I don’t know who or where you are. That is typical of bullies. But don’t worry. I have pending lawsuit for another matter. If I win the money, I will find you, drag your ass into court, and then you can try to prove to the court if I am anti-Semitic.

    The word expression “anti-Semite” and “anti-Semitic” has been used against non-Jews so often that many non-Jews are now afraid of being named thusly. I do not have that problem. If a Jewish person is stupid enough to label me with that stupid expression, he/she had better be able to prove it.

    Here’s why: Anti-semitism can only be assessed based on what a person says or what a person does — not based solely on a Jewish person’s allegation. That would mean that a person would have to say something stupid like “I hate Jews.” Or, they would have to have a business that does not cater to Jews. Or they would have to live a life where they would openly avoid Jews.

    Ask yourself: Have I ever stated in any of my posting that I hate Jews? NO. Do I have a business that does not cater to Jewish people. Again, NO. Do I live a life where I go out of my way to avoid Jews. Again, NO.

    Disseminating proof that books like the Midrash Rabbah, the Aggadah, Legends of the Jews, the Babylonian Talmud, Artsot Ha-Hayyim promulgate the Euro-Judaic doctrine regarding the curse of dark skin is the anti-Semitic — IT IS THE TRUTH.

    Does that imply that all European Jews believe it? No, it does not. At the website where I first found the information, the writer, Marc Shapiro, disagreed with books, as do many Jews. However, that the myth regarding the curse of dark skin has its foundation in European Judaism is the truth.

    It is not a coincidence that Doron Braunshtein a.k.a. Apollo Braun created a shirt that said “Obama is my slave.” He is a member of the Ashkenazim, and as such, many of them are taught that blacks are cursed.

    That is my I intend to make T-shirts with pictures of the books I mentioned above — so that the world can see where the anti-black racism comes from.

    You asked me are you anti-Semitic? Are you anti-Hamitic — especially considering the fact that many European Jews are taught they blacks are cursed?

    Well, are you?

  • Dear cyberposters:

    I have a question for everybody here who is European Jewish: Did anyone of you hear, or were any of you taught that blacks are cursed?

    I’ll settle for a simple yes or no.

    Thank you.

  • Well, I certainly wasn’t taught anything like that. I even attended a Jewish school and have never heard of anything like this. Never has anybody in my family or close to me used the word “shvartze” or any other derogatory term regarding blacks or any other minority.

    You’ve written a bunch of crap, you see?

    I’ve given you two definitions of the word antisemitic and you keep avoiding a response to my question as to whether your comments are antisemitic. It’s a simple question and you have the dictionary definitions there to help you. I couldn’t find anti-hamitic in the dictionary.

  • themiddle:

    According to the Talmud, Tractate Baba Kamma, Folio 113a, it says: “‘Where a suit arises between an Israelite and a heathen, if you can justify the former according to the laws of Israel, justify him and say: ‘This is our law’; so also if you can justify him by the laws of the heathens justify him and say [to the other party:] ‘This is your law’; but if this can not be done, we use subterfuges to circumvent him.” (DON’T FORGET, THIS IS ALSO CRAP).

    So…since the Talmud allows Jews to lie to non-Jews (or heathens”), please forgive me if I don’t believe your lying ass.

    Here’s the web page for the scripture in the Talmud where I found the information: http://www.come-and-hear.com/babakamma/babakamma_113.html#113a_34

    If you think for one minute that I believe anything you say, then you’re nuts.

    One thing I must agree with, what I have written is a bunch of crap — but then look where I got it from: the Talmud, The Midrash Rabbah, Legends of the Jews. Yes, the European Jewish authors who penned those books wrote a whole lot of crap. Thank you for admitting that.

  • themiddle:

    The word “Hamitic” is in the dictionary, stupid. Look it up. I added the “anti.”

    Lastly, contrary to your arrogant, goyim do not need Jews permission to pen a new word. Before the end of this year, I will have penned the word “anti-Hamitic.” If you believe that “anti-Hamitism” or anti-Hamitic” are not words because Jews say that they are not, then you are a friggin’ idiot.

    They are words because I SAY SO. I do not need your permission.

    Get a grip. The non-Jewish world does not need your permission to exist.

    My response: I’ve given you the opportunity to give me your name and address so that I can sue you for defamation of character. See, when I sue your stupid ass for defamation of character, you will have a chance to use everything I wrote to this board and prove that I am an anti-Semite. Facts can only be established beyond the shadow of a doubt in a court room. Your stupid ass does not want to me in court.

    The question is not “Am I anti-Semitic?” The question is “CAN YOU PROVE IT IN A COURT OF LAW?”

    If you are not even willing to pose your question about me to a court — SHUT THE FUCK UP.

  • Cheryl, you must be the dumbest anti-Semite I’ve ever come across! Anti-Semite. Please make me shut the fuck up. Please.

  • By the way, I’ve been on your website, and as someone who frequents the net daily, you are in desperate need of a new web designer/developer. Also, is that version of Buffalo Soldier licensed to you? I hope so as that is something courts and companies vigorously pursue. You look like a nice woman, but you sound like an Anti-Semite. See you in court, I’ll make sure to bring the RIAA.

  • Alex:

    What’s wrong? Are you afraid that other people will find out that the foundation for the belief in the inferiority of black skin came from European Jews.

    Damn! That’s gotta hurt.

  • Cyberposters (including anti-goy haters):

    Abraham H. Foxman of the Anti Defamation League reportedly conducted a survey’s called the Index of Anti-Semitic Belief. According to this survey, “one segment of American society, Jew-hatred is still strong among African-Americans.” Furthermore, it states that 34% of black Americans fit into the ADL’s category of most anti-Semitic” and that “34 percent of black Americans fit into the ADL’s category of most anti-Semitic. That is compared to only 9 percent of the general population.”

    So, in reply to Alex, and his dumb-ass response, it seems that Abraham Foxman has already judged that 34% of all African Americans hate Jews.

    Alex, let me asked your dumb ass a question (not that you can answer it): Do you think that Mr. Foxman actually asked 34% of all African Americans?

    Why don’t you read up on the Anti-Defamation League and the paranoid spying it conducted against innocent African American? In one of the cases, the ADL is sued and lost the case against a goy couple they slandered by calling them anti-Semitic (Colorado Jury Orders Jewish Group to Pay $10.5 Million for Defamatory Statements, http://www.ihr.org/jhr/v19/v19n3p18_ADL.html, also, ADL spying activities in progressive organization, http://www.webshells.com/adlwatch/news22.htm).

    Don’t be a fuckin’ idiot. Just like ADL lost a lawsuit for calling a couple anti-Semitic, don’t think that you have so much power that you can’t be challenged in court.

  • Cheryl,

    If you are too dumb to do a cursory search on Google for my information, then I am very hopeful about my case. Mr. Foxman is a bit paranoid and jumpy, but he obviously has nothing on you, and your website! Good luck in your lawsuit, I know a few great Jewish lawyers in case you need them.

  • Alex:

    There are two interesting verses from the Talmud:

    PROHIBITION AGAINST BEING A MOSER — Tractate Abodah Zarah 26b: “informers…may be cast in, and need not be brought up.”

    Informing on Fellow Jews who Commit Crimes (http://www.come-and-hear.com/editor/moser-broyde/index.html): “…the Talmud recounts – in a number of places – that it is prohibited to inform on Jews to the secular government, EVEN WHEN THEIR CONDUCT IS A VIOLATION OF SECULAR LAW and even when their conduct is a violation of Jewish law.”

    BABA KAMMA, FOLIA 113A — JEWS CAN DECEIVE NON-JEWS TO AVOID GETTING CAUGHT: “Where a suit arises between an Israelite and a heathen, if you can justify the former according to the laws of Israel, justify him and say: ‘This is our law’; so also if you can justify him by the laws of the heathens justify him and say [to the other party:] ‘This is your law’; but if this can not be done, we use subterfuges to circumvent him.”

    “subterfuge” — (noun) an artifice or expedient used to evade a rule, escape a consequence, hide something, etc.; synonyms: deception, scheme, trick, dodge, ruse.

    I know more about your Talmud than you do, jackass. You really believe that in a courtroom full of GOYIM, that a person whose religion advocates lying to GOYIM can win a case in a courtroom against a GOY???!!!

    Looks like the only dummy here is you.

    One more thing dummy: No need for me to look for anything since I have violated no laws. And even if I did violate laws, I thrive in a courtroom. If you don’t believe me, why don’t you do some research on me with regard to my lawsuit history? My real name is listed at my website. There are not a lot of attorneys in the New York City area who wish to lock horns with me because I know how to bring lawsuits and I know how to defend against them.

    Trying to turn an unactionable, unfileable, unprovable frivolous “anti-Semite” complaint into a complaint regarding copyright infringement — especially when every single one of your stupid posts has already been e-mailed to me??? Do you know how easily I can scream retaliation and anti-Hamitic racism — and be able to prove it???

    And oh, yes, dummy, I don’t need an attorney. Filing a poor person’s order, an affidavit in support of the poor person’s order, the summon, complaint, waiting for the case to be joined, filing the papers for the preliminary conference and effecting discovery are not a big deal for a person who went to school to became a paralegal and made the Dean’s List. And if push came to shove, one of my sisters-in-law is a attorney; the other is a paralegal and works for a law firm. While you may have your loyalties to the Jewish community, I am goy. As such, I have no loyalties to your group. I can hire anyone I wish, and if I chose to hire someone, it would be someone in my family. So save your suggestions. I have education people in my family also.

    In the meantime, file the complaint or shut the hell up (or you can run your mouth, never file the complaint, and let everybody see how goddamn dumb and cowardly you are).

    WIPE YOUR ASS AND STOP GETTING HIGH OFF YOUR OWN STINK.

  • Dear Cyberposters:

    Nothing I posted to this board can ever been as bad the statement from that jackass Doron Braunshtein, the young man comes from a religion that, for hundreds of years has taught that black people are meant to be slaves, and someone has the audacity to say: “Obama is my slave.”

    When I accomplished my campaign to let the whole world know about the foundation of anti-Hamitic hatred, and why Doron said what he said, no one will buy his stupid shirts, and I will shame the European Jewish community so that they will never against attempt to make light of the African Holocaust, and the Euro-Judaic slander that justified it.

  • You folks don’t know who you’re dealing with here. Cheryl Uzamere has sued George Bush and Condoleeza Rice.

    http://dockets.justia.com/docket/court-nyedce/case_no-1:2008cv00891/case_id-278273/

    “Plaintiff Cheryl D. Uzamere alleges that Defendants government officials failed to act on her report that her husband Ehigie Edobor a/k/a Godwin Uzamere entered into a sham marriage with her and committed bigamy by marrying another woman at the same time.”

    Cheryl’s case was dismissed with the following warning from the judge:

    “Uzamere is put on notice that filing of more frivolous complaints will result in being precluded from obtaining in forma pauper status to file complaints without leave of the court.
