Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

“To the Students for Justice in Palestine, a Letter From an Angry Black Woman”

Jul 28, 2014 9:12 pm By Robert Spencer

Chloe-Simone-Valdary1Chloe Valdary concludes this terrific piece by saying, “It is of course your prerogative to continue to utilize platitudes for your cause. You are entirely within your rights to chant words like ‘equality’ ‘justice’ and ‘freedom fighter.’ You can keep using those words for as long as you like. But I do not think you know what they mean.” Indeed. Or maybe they know full well what they mean, and want to confuse and manipulate people into no longer being sure , so they can more easily claim them for themselves.

“To the Students for Justice in Palestine, a Letter From an Angry Black Woman,” by Chloe Valdary, Tablet, July 28, 2014 (thanks to Linda):

The student organization Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) is prominent on many college campuses, preaching a mantra of “Freeing Palestine.” It masquerades as though it were a civil rights group when it is not. Indeed, as an African-American, I am highly insulted that my people’s legacy is being pilfered for such a repugnant agenda. It is thus high time to expose its agenda and lay bare some of the fallacies they peddle.

• If you seek to promulgate the legacy of early Islamic colonialists who raped and pillaged the Middle East, subjugated the indigenous peoples living in the region, and foisted upon them a life of persecution and degradation—you do not get to claim the title of “Freedom Fighter.”

• If you support a racist doctrine of Arab supremacism and wish (as a corollary of that doctrine) to destroy the Jewish state, you do not get to claim that the prejudices you peddle are forms of legitimate “resistance.”

• If your heroes are clerics who sit in Gaza plotting the genocide of a people; who place their children on rooftops in the hopes they will get blown to bits; who heap praises upon their fellow gang members when they succeed in murdering Jewish school boys and bombing places of activity where Jews congregate—you do not get to claim that you are some Apollonian advocate of human virtue. You are not.

• If your activities include grieving over the woefully incompetent performance by Hamas rocketeers and the subsequent millions of Jewish souls who are still alive—whose children were not murdered by their rockets; whose limbs were not torn from them; and whose disembowelment did not come into fruition—you do not get to claim that you stand for justice. You profess to be irreproachable. You are categorically not.

• If your idea of a righteous cause entails targeting and intimidating Jewish students on campus, arrogating their history of exile-and-return and fashioning it in your own likeness you do not get to claim that you do so in the name of civil liberty and freedom of expression.

• You do not get to champion regimes that murder, torture, and persecute their own people, deliberately keep them impoverished, and embezzle billions of dollar from them—and claim you are “pro-Arab.” You are not.

• You do not get to champion a system wherein Jews are barred from purchasing land, traveling in certain areas, and living out such an existence merely because they are Jews—and claim that you are promoting equality for all. You do not get to enable that system by pushing a boycott of Jewish owned businesses, shops, and entities—and then claim that you are “against apartheid.” That is evil.

• You do not get to justify the calculated and deliberate bombings, beatings, and lynchings of Jewish men, women, and children by referring to such heinous occurrences as part of a noble “uprising” of the oppressed—that is racism. It is evil.

• You do not get to pretend as though you and Rosa Parks would have been great buddies in the 1960s. Rosa Parks was a real Freedom Fighter. Rosa Parks was a Zionist….

    This essay was a homerun, it will be interesting to see the level of filth and hatred in the responses of Muslims. One point I experienced first hand was how muslims and their leftist allies spread their venom on college campuses

    • EYESOPEN says

      Absolutely a home run! This courageous young woman did an excellent job of skewering the lies of the so-called “palestinian” supporters. Unfortunately, I can see that she will be treated the same as Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Robert Spencer, Pamela Geller and others.

      No one can refute what she says with truth, for there is no truth in them. They can only lie, intimidate and engage in character assassination (if not the real thing). She too will now have to “watch her back”, particularly on college campuses. What a Bizarro world we now live in!

  4. Wellington says

    Jul 28, 2014 at 9:32 pm

    Eloquent. Kudos to this young woman.

    The truth is getting out there more and more (and it will take more time still, even though by now it shouldn’t) that Israel is in the right, that lies aplenty are told about Israel by the malevolent and the foolish, and that Islam is a horrid excuse for a religion.

    Again, hats off to this young female. Inspiring.

  5. Richie says

    Jul 28, 2014 at 9:35 pm

    It’s interesting to read the comments after the original article on the Tablet site, the anti semitism of her critics are proving her point

  6. Blangwort says

    Jul 28, 2014 at 9:36 pm

    This lady has written an epic response to all those leftist ignoramuses who abrogate the history of black slavery in North America toward their cause. In fact, they are using it to support the descendants of those who continue to unrepentantly commit such crimes.

    My how the mighty have fallen.

  7. Richie says

    Jul 28, 2014 at 9:46 pm

    I hope this young woman publishes some books about the truth of the Islamic menace. We need more brave voices like hers, Robert and Pamela

    Jul 28, 2014 at 10:07 pm

    I’ve seen this young woman as a guest on Jaimie Glazov’s “Glazov Gang” show. She was great as she explained her passion in supporting Israel and her strong sense of doing right by the Jewish people. She understands that Islamists are a threat to the entire world.

    May this young woman stay safe in her work trying to protect Israel and the Jewish people.

    I have been watching your growth and progress over the past year, you truly are a honest and special person.
    Keep up the fantastic work in fighting for your right to be heard, and the right of Israel to remain the only free country in the Middle East.
    I personally have been fighting for the removal of the full face covering (Burqas & Niqabs) In Australia since 2010. I started with my SAY NO TO BURQAS mural and have never stop defending my right to debate the growing issue of Islam.

    • dumbledoresarmy says

      Sergio

      maybe you should vary your mural.

      An Israeli flag with the phrase “Am Yisroel Chai”.

      Or a copy of the famous graphic that shows two IDF soldiers in combat attitude *in front of* a pram with a baby in it, protecting the child; while the Muslim jihadis who are attacking them are hiding and firing from *behind* a pram with a baby in it.

        At this time the Mural has the following;

    Magnificent.

    Let us hope and pray that Ms Valdary (and Col [ret.] Allen West) are the first harbingers of a new beginning amongst the Afro-American community in the USA. May many others be inspired and follow their lead, and may the Muslim dawa campaigns among black Americans begin to be met with richly-deserved rejection and contempt.

    I understand that there was a black African Christian church, in the USA, recently, whose pastor loaded onto his phone the app that sends Israeli citizens the signal to take cover when a rocket is heading toward them from Gaza; and when it went “ping!” during a service, he got his entire congregation to dive for cover, in solidarity with people in Israel half a world away. So that they could begin to get a bit of an understanding of what it must be like for the Israelis.

    • rabrooks says

      Jul 29, 2014 at 1:41 pm

      That should be printed in large, gold-leaf letters, and printed on parchment, and framed for purchase! I guess about a thousnad for starts. Where do I order?
      I have asked several “black-american-muslim” friends, from different backgrounds and status, about their connection with the muslim population over seas. Time and time again, I was told “that has nothing to do with us!”

    You have hit where it really hurts, young lady,,,thanks for calling spade a spade..If this opens the eyes of even some of those who support the Hamas, in Europe/US, (which I doubt, because they are blind with hate) it will be worth of your words. May such courageous tribe increase…GOD bless you

    Chloe has a much deeper insight into the Israeli-Palestinian issue than the usual leftist BDS crowd. Let’s hope her comments become more widely understood.

    On another, but related issue, many African-Americans who have converted to Islam, do not understand that their forebears were captured by Arab Muslims and sold to European slave traders, for transport to the New World. As usual, Muslims never admit to this immoral trafficking in human beings. To put the record straight, perhaps Chloe might address this issue too on some future occasion.

    • Oliver says

      Jul 29, 2014 at 11:47 am

      it is my understanding that as recently as the late 20th century ( and possibly even today) SLAVERY (especially black slaves) existed /exists in Moslim countries.

      I remember in the late 1980’s or early 1990’s taking my mother to a doctor, and reading a news magazine (Time or Newsweek or similiar) with a story about slavery (all the slaves were black) in Mauritania, which is an Islamic shit hole.

    • Richie says

      Jul 29, 2014 at 2:00 pm

      As for African American converts to Islam,- many join the Nation of Islam, which if I understand correctly is not even recognized by most Muslims as being letitimate (even though all of Islam is not ‘legitimate’ imo,ts all one big death cult) – Maybe its analogous to how mainstream Hindus see the Hindu sect the Hare Krishnas (in not recognizing them)

    Those that can articulate what every sane person is thinking whens it comes to Islam, have a bright future in what will become a sudden growth industry.

    Go for it Chloe, a chance to make a difference and millions… nice.

  23. Muktafa says

    Jul 29, 2014 at 11:55 am

    We have been witnessing Islamic barbarism all over the world. Islam says apostates must be killed. So, the believers of Islam kill apostates. islam became now a murder religion , there is no more reason to love Islam anymore , there are facts on the ground now and millions of reasons to leave Islam and that’s what I did .

    A bright, courageous and eloquent young woman. A Truth Teller and a visionary.
    It will be through the efforts of people like her that folks of African descent will hopefully come to understand that MUSLIMS were and ARE the greatest “slavers” that the world has ever known. It continues to this day in most muslim-dominated African countries…….. with estimates of 20+ million blacks still held in various states of slavery by the muslim/arab supremacist regimes.

  25. Sankara says

    And for God’s sake, watch your back. There’s nothing leftards and mohammedans hate more, than those who speak unwelcome truths.

  27. Liza Jones says

    Jul 29, 2014 at 4:39 pm

    My congratulations to this young woman for so eloquently and precisely articuling truths that most of us have difficulty expressing. I do react to and reject Hamas’s self-mythologising as “freedom fighters” and “resistance fighters.” As a former Irish Catholic from Northern Ireland I know that Catholics felt some affinity with Palestinians. But, in time, Catholics accepted that Ulster Protestants were going no where and vice versa. We had to choose between continued conflict or peace and co-operation. It’s still not a perfect harmony, but it’s a far cry from the chaotic brutality of the past, and an even farther cry from the despotic death culture of the Islamist agenda. Never, even at the height of the conflict, did I see any member of my community rejoice at the death of the other: often I would hear remarks that commiserated with those who died because “they were some mother’s son or daughter.” Never did I witness outbursts of unrestrained vengeance the way I have seen in the Middle East. It may have been there under the surface with some people but to have displayed such disregard for human life would have been antithetical to our sense of morality and would have elicited instant disapprobation. Once again, congratulations for your courage and insight!

    Not quite ontopic ….. yet.
    Recently I saw a BBC prog about the growing Chinese influence in Africa.
    To all islamists there, may you live in interesting times.

    • ProudInfidel says

      Jul 29, 2014 at 9:01 pm

      If the “islamists” try any of their usual BS on the Chinese, they are in for a VERY RUDE SURPRISE. The Chinese have shown decisively in their Uighur region that they won’t tolerate it. No reason to think that they won’t defend their interests in Africa just as effectively. They might be just the “civilizing” influence needed ………….. and they will do it with a ruthlessness we can barely imagine……………. I’m starting to like those folks more every day!

      • Sarah L Nield says

        Aug 7, 2014 at 11:11 am

        Good remark.
        I wonder what would happened in the Socialist world view if Chinese security guards rounded up and arrested Muslim supporters?
        No, seriously. What could they say? China isn’t known for it’s western imperialist outlook. No males, pale, stale men on the councils and governments over there.
        Pound to a pile of horse muck, they would find an excuse to blame the west and the straight, white men who are responsible for every evil everywhere and no good.

    Israel is a racist apartheid state – it is exactly what an occupation looks like

    – The murder of civilians with impunity
    – the building of settlements after demolishing palestinian villages.
    -the arrest of thousands of political prisoners with no charge
    – controling the movement of goods and peoples via air, sea and checkpoints
    – Palestinans are placed on a diet of 800 calories to starve them into surrendering their rights.

    This is a human rights issue and the expulsion and demonisation of palestinians should not be a byproduct of an Israeli state.

    Hate extremisism in all its force including Islamaphobia and anti semitism but also know that equality never destroyed any country!!

    Even Netanyahu’s nephew acknowledges apartheid exists.

    People need to ask themselves is it ‘Never again for me or never again for everyone.

    Moderate muslims want to be free from the extremism and hatge that is perputuated and supported by US tax dollars – lets bridge the gap – not spread hate and fight Islamphobia, extremism and anti-semitism
