The record is clear. My latest in FrontPage:
When is anti-Semitism not anti-Semitism? When it comes from the Left, of course.
President-elect Trump has enraged the establishment media by choosing Steven K. Bannon as his chief strategist, because Bannon, they claim on the flimsiest of evidence, is a white supremacist and an anti-Semite. Meanwhile, that same media is hailing Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) for announcing his candidacy for Chairman of the Democratic National Committee – despite Ellison’s very real links to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, two groups that are outdone by no one in anti-Semitism.
“A chorus of critics took to Twitter,” said the New York Times, “to lament what they said was a frightening normalization of the fringe views that Mr. Bannon promoted as the chairman of Breitbart News. The site has for years given voice to anti-Semitic, racist and white nationalist ideology.”
The evidence? Slim to none. As David Horowitz pointed out Monday, the source for the claim that Bannon is anti-Semitic is “a one sentence claim from an angry ex-wife in divorce court no less, that Bannon didn’t want their kids to go to school with Jews.” Horowitz noted in response that Bannon had wanted to produce a Horowitz biopic: “I find that particularly amusing since Bannon wanted to make a film to celebrate this Jew’s life.”
Horowitz also noted that CNN hit Bannon over “a headline at Breitbart.com calling Bill Kristol a ‘renegade Jew.’” Surely that proves Bannon’s anti-Semitism, right? Wrong. Said Horowitz: “In fact, neither Breitbart nor Bannon is responsible for that statement. A Jew is. I wrote the article, which was neither requested nor commissioned by Breitbart. And I wrote the headline: ‘Bill Kristol, Republican Spoiler, Renegade Jew,’” because “Kristol and his friends betrayed the Republican Party, betrayed the American people, and betrayed the Jews when he set out to undermine Trump and elect the criminal Hillary Clinton. Obama and Hillary are supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood, the organization that launched the Arab drive to destroy Israel and push its Jews into the sea (that was their slogan).”
Joel B. Pollak, senior editor-at-large at Breitbart News and an Orthodox Jew, declared: “I have worked with Stephen K. Bannon, President-elect Donald Trump’s new chief strategist and senior counselor, for nearly six years at Breitbart News. I can say, without hesitation, that Steve is a friend of the Jewish people and a defender of Israel, as well as being a passionate American patriot and a great leader.”
Meanwhile, the same Democrats who are howling about Bannon are applauding Ellison’s announcement that he is running for DNC Chair, despite the abundant evidence of Ellison’s links to anti-Semitic groups. Ellison has spoken at a convention of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA). Yet ISNA has actually admitted its ties to Hamas, which styles itself the Palestinian arm of the Muslim Brotherhood. The Justice Department actually classified ISNA among entities “who are and/or were members of the US Muslim Brotherhood.”
It gets worse. In 2008, Ellison accepted $13,350 from the Muslim American Society (MAS) to go on a pilgrimage to Mecca. The Muslim American Society is a Muslim Brotherhood organization: “In recent years, the U.S. Brotherhood operated under the name Muslim American Society, according to documents and interviews. One of the nation’s major Islamic groups, it was incorporated in Illinois in 1993 after a contentious debate among Brotherhood members.” That’s from the Chicago Tribune in 2004, in an article that is now carried on the Muslim Brotherhood’s English-language website, Ikhwanweb.
Also, the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) raised large amounts of for Ellison’s first campaign, and he has spoken at numerous CAIR events. Yet CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding case — so named by the Justice Department. CAIR officials have repeatedly refused to denounce Hamas and Hizballah as terrorist groups.
Hamas has declared: “Killing Jews is worship that draws us close to Allah.” Ellison has spoken before several groups that have ties to Hamas, and has accepted money from a Muslim Brotherhood group; Hamas styles itself the Muslim Brotherhood for Palestine. Does Keith Ellison also, then, think that “killing Jews is worship that draws us close to Allah”? No establishment media “journalist” would ever dream of asking him that question, but it’s a fair one: Hamas repeatedly demonstrates genuine and murderous anti-Semitism, and Ellison has repeatedly shown himself willing and even eager to associate himself with Hamas-linked groups.
That’s the real story of anti-Semitism in American politics this week. But the media propagandists are most certainly not going to pause in their hysteria over Trump and Bannon to take any notice of it. Their hypocrisy is obvious, their dishonesty unrelenting, and their moral authority absolutely nil.

After hearing the denunciations of Bannon from the usual suspects, I waited for word from someone I trust to make up my own mind. Now I see how laughable the accusations are, but I’m not surprised.

Yup.
blitz2b says
At this point why does any sane minded person give two hoots to the “corrupt news network”? It is a biased, mendacious, organization with an obvious leftist agenda, an insult to the intelligence and integrity of any individual with the capacity to think.
The utter rubbish they spew out as “news” should be taken with a pinch of salt…. Rotten to the core is what they are…
Don McKellar says
Some members of White Supremacist Hate groups also drive Hondas and they recommend them to their friends as good cars, therefore the CEO of Honda must be a White Supremacist!

Dexter L. Wilson says
Speaking of rhe Goebbel’s Nazi Propaganda Machine need to have truth as a goal because they seem to allow it to escape. Their supremacist lestist position who care little for the protection of the American People and unwilingness to vet Refugees and bring in Refugee Christians who are suffering at the hands of ISIS, Iranian, Syrian, African and Muslim refugees seem to be second class people by these supposed elites Of course they still don’t mention Venequelans who are starving, their money worthless, and the Corrupt Leaders stayed in power by their Judiciary. It wouldn’t be so bad if they weren’t a rich oil producing nation, the riches in our Hemisphere.
Mac-101 says
So I guess the big question is did Leo Trotsky reply, when asked by a Red Soldier, “Comrade General, Why do you take such pleasure in murdering Orthodox Jewish Rabbis and burning their synagogues with the Jews in them while you, yourself is a Jew”, he replied “I am NOT a JEW, I’m a Communist”?
.
So it appears to me that these Leftist self destructive Jews are working for Satan , not G-d. The religious Jews who are right with G-d needs to call them out and everyone else who calls us Israel Lovin Gentiles anti-Semites when we are working to support Israel and the USA.
gravenimage says
Mac, not every secular Jew hates religious Jews, nor are they all antisemites. I have a good friend who is a secular Jew, and he is as stanch a supporter of Israel and Anti-Jihadist as you could hope to know.
Mac-101 says
Image, I did not say ALL or even MOST. However, up to this election the majority of American Jews have fully supported the Democrat party and it has been evident since Jimmy Carter that the Donkey has turned Anti-Semitic at an ever accelerating rate. How much more can it be given the last eight years? Without G-ds protection Israel is toast.
.
I’m waiting for a good break down on demographics by how they voted. Hopefully we can get a good chunk of minorities on board to MAKE America GREATER for ALL Americans!
gravenimage says
True, Mac.
Francis Merde says
I believe the exact statement was “I don’t want my kids going to school with all those whiny Jewish girls.” Apparently there is an acronym within the Jewish community where JAP = Jewish-American Princess. His complaint seems to have been that the school was apparently full of insufferable harpies, their ethnic background had very little to do with it.
gravenimage says
You are right, Francis–I’ve had Jewish friends who have complained about “JAPs”.
Moreover, the only evidence for his having said anything along these lines at all is from his estranged wife in divorce court–hardly an unbiased source.
Jay Boo says
Muslims have infected the MSM with Rachel MAD COW disease.
The insidious root of the problem is not the Commie-Crats.
It is MUSLIMS and the MSM pulling their puppet’s strings.
The never would be such continuous demagoguery and victim mongering from the anti-Semitic BDS democrats if not for instigation from the devious cult followers called MUSLIMS who manipulate the willing ghimmis in the news media.
I hope Trump saves a few cruise missiles for America’s biggest enemies marked “Traitors” for NPR and MSNBC.
underbed cat says
No wonder why Ob jumped on a plane after the election and flew out of the country. The real truth about Israel, and the intolerant doctrine that wants to eliminate Israel is about to be exposed. So he has to muster up support from the Europe, where he has many like minded supporters that may be recognized, and Israel may survive. So as the media errors fall, the truth may rise.
miriamrove says
OT: But very important. This sums up Trump’s victory and all of us here who won. By the way if you live anywhere in the east coast as I do live in NJ and work NYC, do not wear a hat that Says Make America Great. You will taking a chance with your life Isis and Jihadists here are trying to silence you and by that I mean the leftists. m

Westman says
The left media is on the same whine session as the demonstrators. They don’t even check the sources, much like the demonstrators who are chanting that Trump is anti-gay. If one left source prints something with factual errors which criticizes the newly-forming administration, they all run it. They certainly aren’t restoring their formerly perceived pre-election credibility.
gravenimage says
In fact, Trump was the *only* one who talked about protecting the LGBTQ community from more attacks like Orlando.
davej says
Any religion that claims that slaughtering another group is “worship and draws us closer to God” is obviously a demented death cult, not a religion.
eduardo odraude says
If the Dems cared about anti-Semitism as much as they care about hating Repubs, the Dems would never ally with Islam as they often have been doing.
Muhammad says that one day the very trees and stones will help Muslims to kill Jews

Thomas Hulting says
Barack Hussein Obama was adept at masking his true Alinsky Socialist biases with his “doin’ it for the
people” drivel; Keith Mohammed Ellison is far, far less capable of masking his true anti-American
sentiments, and so would accelerate the rate of exposing the Democrat/Socialist/Progressive/Marxist
agenda, hopefully to the final eye-opening of the average head-in-the-sand American.

………………….
Fine article. Very telling.
TJ says
It would be nice to see all Christian churches recognize the prophets they are using to produce evidence Jesus is the Messiah also say there is a need for Jews in the land of Israel. If it wasn’t for the continued presence of Jews in the world, the words of these Messianic prophets would not be valid. In addition, rabbis should realize their forefather Jacob’s words in Genesis 49 clearly favor Jesus as the Messiah. Jacob said in a parable words to the effect that the Jewish Messiah would face false accusations and come clean in the end. This statement by Jacob could only be fulfilled by a Messiah who has been in the world already. If Jews and Christians practiced this well about each other all the time, it would go along way towards burning the antisemitism in the koran out of our country.
gravenimage says
It is not Jews who are to blame for the genocidal antisemitism of Islam.
common sense says
The next MB shill is up to bat: of course the MSM runs a false narrative against Bannon as the low life DNC makes their next low life choice. Whoever president Trump picks we should see this repeating formula, its what the enemy within does.
Soros, Pelosi and company meet and it’s the riots that they show because we should be made to think Trump is bad.
Iran should be a leading story every week, “death to America” friday and “push the Jews into the sea” goes completely ignored. Some people who I have informed about Iran have told me that I’m “delusional”. The kool aid is thick and its going to go this way for 4 years and beyond.
Great article amazing!
Kay says
“The koolaid is thick.”
That’s a great description. I wish I could put here some of what I’ve been hearing lately. Brains off. Confirmation of unfounded fears. Head beams on high looking for offense or hate speech.
Theodore Freund says
Truth and facts never matters to the committed anarchist. They’re just inconveniences to be hidden, denied, sculptured and obfuscated.
Lying Bums. ADL, SPLC, NYT are just race baiting trash trolls. SMEAR, SMEAR, SMEAR……..
The Grey Lady produced 50 Shades of grey.
Now they’re smearing Stephen K Bannon.
According to MSM Moses(from the Bible) would’ve been a Nazi.
This is funny from the Jew hating and Israel hating NYT (read their articles). Just more NYT post- election garbage.
The leftie loosers lost the election precisely for such hit jobs. They never learn. Oh!.., ti’s really the only weapon they have…., and the echo- chamber. Like a ball, from one trolling idiot to the next. Repeat it enough times and it’s an established troll.
Bring it on. The more the merrier. Very transparent race baiting.
Funny, the ADL supports BDS and accused Isreal of Apartheid. Accordingly if you oppose BDS You’re an antisemite.
I’m sure that the ADL fully agrees with Speaker Nancy Pelosi that “Hamas is a humanitarian organization”
Ha…… the the poisonous left…..
To round it up. A partial list of the whom left calls Nazis. George Bush, Dick Chaney, Sarah Plain, Michelle Bachman, Mitt Romney. John Mccain, Donald trump and now Stephen Bannon. They should add Moses (you know from the Bible) to the list.
As a proud practicing Jew whose parents survived the Holocaust these baseless accusations are deeply offensive and insulting.
I and and my coreligionists proudly look forward to Mr. Bannon’s valued contribution to the Trump Administration and the USA.
Look how we voted. Check what Jews in Brooklyn voted. Knowing very well how NYS votes we still made sure to register our vote loud and clear for Donanld Trump and Stephen K Bannon.
PROUDLY SO.
common sense says
Oh yeah! I’m liking the truth, it sounds like my favorite music. The only remaining purpose of the Left truly is to stand in opposition of being a simple ole American. There are simply no measurable contributions from these communists, only negatives in every aspect of American life.
NOT. ONE. THING.
Lookmann says
No let- up in MSM’s attack on Bannon
…..Trump’s appointment of Steve Bannon as chief strategist was criticized by Democrats, civil rights organizations and some Republicans. They denounced the former Breitbart News chief, whose website is a forum for the “alt-right,” a loose grouping of neo-Nazis, white supremacists and anti-Semites.
http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-idUSKBN13A2I7
So Breitbart News is a place Where Jews and anti-Semites work together happily.
Is not that wonderful ?
Merklexit says
Simple reply:
Ask those who attack Bannon “do you support israel as much as he does?”
Bannon and Trump support Israel. Do you?
For many leftists, especially Ellison, the answer is an emphatic anti-semitic NO!
Crocadile tears I believe is the expression = fake concern trolls. They don’t want to acknowledge, let alone confront, the real anti-semites.
Ver Auger says
Yes, you are absolutely right, Robert Spencer. I was forced to go through this same exact exercise in an argument with a high school acquaintance a few months ago. She cited the same thin evidence of anti-Semitism, and I easily debunked it. The word “evidence” should not even be used. Nothing there. Nor in the police report of the one incident of abuse alleged by Bannon’s wife. He was retreating the whole time, she assaulted him first (by spitting at him) and even told this to the police, thus dooming her chance to clean up her story later and take a shot at winning the he said/ new-university.. Bannon restrained his wife by holding her wrists, the best way to neutralize threatened assault while minimizing the magnitude of the force applied. without any harm except the slight bruising where his hands held her wrists. He would have been justified using more forceful measures, but he did not. The point being that Bannon did not “beat his wife” nor has he expressed any significant anti-Semitism, based on all teh evidence available.. But again today I see the same BS charges against Spencer in that lying yellow rag, the NY Times. “Liberalism is a Mental Disorder” and for heaven’s sake, “Beware the Government-Media Complex” – two reservoirs of truth and sanity, both coined by the brilliant radio political science lecturer and thought-leader, Dr. Michael Savage.
Ver Auger says
Sorry for the typo, Mr. Spencer, your name should be replaced by “Bannon” in “BS charges against Spencer in that lying yellow rag, the NY Times.” but it’s definitely a moot point! Also, he-said / new-university would actually be: he-said / she-said. Thanks again for your bravery.
Politicalqrm says
The Dems’ charges against Mr. Bannon are being used to deflect from the possible chairmanship of Keith Ellison of their party. Mr. Ellison is a real anti-Semite. Mr Bannon is being used to deflect attention from that fact.
This is just sleight of hand by the Dems. The media is willing to carry the story, all the while not mentioning Keith Ellison. When he’s elected as chairman of the party (and he will be) they will laud the Dems for their progressive attitude, their inclusiveness, all the while ignoring the fact that Ellison is a true anti-Semite.
And I have to ask: when Ellison is head of the DNC, will Jews be welcome in the Party??
Pong says
I wander if Robert will be asked to go back and teach FBI and the army the principal issues of Islam. The importance of such move by the government cannot be underestimated.
I am also worried that many people, who support President Trump, will decide that their mission is complete and everything is now up to the president. Unfortunately, we only won the battle, not the war. The president will need a lot of support not only from his administration, but from many ordinary people. We must recognize the importance of that support and understand that we will have to win many battles in the future. To rest and be euphoric is the biggest mistake we can make.
Politicalqrm says
I agree completely. Right now we sigh with relief that he’s elected, but we can’t sit back and expect him to do everything. Ordinary Americans who voted for him must be there for him. We must keep an eye on who we’ve sent to Congress and ensure the changes Mr. Trump promised us and will want to put forth are indeed enacted by them.
