A little background about CNN’s Jake Tapper: CNN was “slammed as ‘disgraceful’” after Jake Tapper remained silent when a guest accused Trump radicalizing “more people than ISIS.” Mark Levin has also stated of Tapper: “Now, keep in mind, it’s about Epstein’s apparent suicide, but Jake Tapper wants you to believe it’s about Trump.” Levin also said: “Jake Tapper’s a leftist. He’s demonstrated that time and again. Even though some fools out there are convinced otherwise, he’s fairly consistent.”
Despite his problematic past, Jake Tapper is now being defended by the more reasonable elements of society after he “made a passing reference to Palestinian incitement.”
Palestinian incitement warrants far more than a passing reference. Consider this point published in The Investigative Project on Terrorism:
If Saturday’s horrifying terrorist attack in an El Paso Walmart had taken place in Jerusalem, leaving 22 Israelis dead, the killer would rot in jail knowing his family would be taken care of, paid every month by his government. He might one day have a park, or a school, or a street named in his honor. He would be held up as a hero and used to inspire more killing. Children would be encouraged to follow his lead.
It’s a stark truth, along with the Palestinian Pay for Slay program, which pays jihadists and their families for the murder of Israelis.
But for a mere passing remark about Palestinian incitement, Tapper has committed a cardinal sin in the eyes of jihadists, stealth jihadists, and Leftist dhimmis (such as Jewish Voice for Peace). The frenzied onslaught against Tapper “seems to have started with Sana Saeed, a host and producer with Al-Jazeera’s online arm.” This is what she tweeted; take note, as it is the same tired intimidation strategy used by all Islamic supremacists. And Westerners just keep falling for it.
Then U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib jumped in. She “accused Tapper of “comparing Palestinian human rights activists to terrorist white nationalists.”
The gang-up continued, and now Tapper’s passing statement has morphed into something unrecognizable:
MPower Change, run by Tlaib ally and Israel-basher Linda Sarsour, then launched a campaign demanding Tapper’s firing. In addition to rejecting the very idea of a Jewish state as “creepy,” Sarsour spreads a blood libel that holds American Jews liable for police shootings of unarmed black people.
From a mild but truthful passing statement by Tapper to American Jews being held “liable for police shootings of unarmed black people.” Whenever any Westerner says something offensive to Islamic supremacists about their abuses or about their religion, that person will be dragged off to the woodshed and mercilessly flogged with the “Islamophobia” cane. It is an inescapable rule of thumb.
“Blind Hate Drives Campaign to Fire Jake Tapper,” by Steven Emerson, IPT News, August 7, 2019:
If Saturday’s horrifying terrorist attack in an El Paso Walmart had taken place in Jerusalem, leaving 22 Israelis dead, the killer would rot in jail knowing his family would be taken care of, paid every month by his government.
He might one day have a park, or a school, or a street named in his honor. He would be held up as a hero and used to inspire more killing. Children would be encouraged to follow his lead.
This is by no means an exhaustive list of how the Palestinian Authority and others incite violence against Israeli civilians. But it’s why, in the wake of discussions about the role political rhetoric plays in attacks like the El Paso massacre, CNN anchor Jake Tapper made a passing reference to Palestinian incitement.
For the sin of invoking a real thing, Israel-haters are demanding Tapper be fired.
It seems to have started with Sana Saeed, a host and producer with Al-Jazeera’s online arm, AJ+.
“Collect your man, CNN,” she wrote Sunday after calling Tapper’s remarks “the height of unethical journalism.” That’s a charge on a scale with plagiarizing, lying or stealing information. What, exactly, did Tapper say to generate such an accusation?
“You hear conservatives talk all the time—rightly, in my view—about the tone set by, well, the Arab world,” Tapper said. “The Palestinians and the way they talk about Israelis, justifying … no direct link between what the leader says and the violence to some poor Israeli girl in a pizzeria—but the idea you’re validating this hatred.”
“You can’t compare the ideology of Hamas with anything else,” Tapper said, “but at the same time, either tone matters or it doesn’t.”
Sober viewers might note that Tapper is using the example of Palestinian incitement to ask whether people are being inconsistent in minimizing political rhetoric in the El Paso shooting. But Palestinian advocates blinded by a hatred for Israel are not sober viewers.
U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., accused Tapper of “[c]omparing Palestinian human rights activists to terrorist white nationalists,” and dismissing it as a lie. It is a lie, Tapper replied, because that’s not at all what he said.
He invoked a dead Israeli girl in a pizzeria – if Tlaib wants to argue the suicide bomber was a “human rights advocate,” let her do it on the House floor.
MPower Change, run by Tlaib ally and Israel-basher Linda Sarsour, then launched a campaign demanding Tapper’s firing. In addition to rejecting the very idea of a Jewish state as “creepy,” Sarsour spreads a blood libel that holds American Jews liable for police shootings of unarmed black people.
“Tapper distorted the violence in El Paso by invoking occupied Palestinians and Arabs out of nowhere and comparing them to the white nationalist shooter,” an MPower Change statement said. “… By inserting Palestinians and Arabs in a conversation about white supremacist violence, Tapper pushed the Islamophobic ‘terrorist’ narrative about Muslims and Arabs that’s been mainstreamed over the past few decades.”….

Let the Left eat their own.
mortimer says
Yes, and after years of supporting the Left, American Jewry is unable to defend itself, because the Left will call them names. Anti-Semitism among American Lefties makes them the real Nazis in America.
They are Stalinist or Trotskyist Lefties or even Maoist Lefties.
The American Left is now raging in a mindless, factless hysterical delirium.
Al Biden recently misspoke some shockingly accurate words : “We value TRUTH over FACTS.”
Truer words haven’t been spoken from the Left. They tell you what the TRUTH is, then they eliminate inconvenient facts that contradict their NARRATIVE.
juleonly says
Islam is in the same bag with nazigroups, KKKlan, White Supremacists….ANY Supremacist who wants apartheid and to declare themselves the best, the one and only legit beings who hate ‘others’ or who think inferior others only good as slaves or servants to the Supremacists. they are in the same bag though modern day Islam from the Qur’an/Hadiths behaves worse than any other modern Supremacist so far. They are on the same level as Hitler was. Why we allow these in a Free country is an illogical mystery of misunderstanding, ignorance or secret identification. Supremacists cannot exist in free countries for they will constantly fight them for, of course, Supremacy. Just look at all the Muslim countries…..Supremacists. Apartheid. Read the Qur’an/Hadiths…Supremacist plus WARLORD Supremacists. Same bag as Hitlers Germany, Nazigroups, KKKlan. Denial is a mask. And all these groups teach/preach to their children.

Like Sarah Silverman being fired from a movie due to an old photo of her in blackface for a comedy sketch: the sort of policies they defended are coming home to roost – and they’re hungry…
Lu says
Yup – as we witnessed in the former USSR, the revolution always starts to “eat her own children” – remember the “cleansings” Stalin did, remember Trotskyi assassinated in Mexico, Zinonev trial, just name it.
I have always been amused (and terrified) by the cannibalism of the Left.
Kepha says
Long ago, under my real name, and far away, one of my jobs was interviewing Cambodian DP’s for humanitarian parole into the USA. Further, because I am a Chinese speaker, I had to interview Chinese who’d fled their country and washed up in Thailand in the wake of the Tiananmen crackdown. Hence, I no longer find the Left’s cannibalism amusing; only terrifying. If that’s how they treat their own, how will they treat those whom they dismiss as reactionary and deplorable?
And for all the killing of ethnic Chinese townsfolk and merchants in Cambodia, Saloth Sar, Chit Chouen, and Khieu Samphan all had Chinese ancestry. Something like the Russian rabbi who told Leon Trotsky something like, ‘So Trotsky makes a revolution, and Bronshtain gets it the neck”?

Jayme says
Rashida Tlaib is going to hand the election right to Trump all he has to say is look the face of the Dems supports Terrorism om Americans.
mortimer says
Good observations from Jayme. ‘See how many Dems actually support terrorism against the US’.
There is a real death wish in the Dems. They want to end the US. The enemies they chose are the jihadists.
mortimer says
correction: the FRIENDS they chose to destroy America are the jihadists. While most Muslims don’t actively support jihadism, they do nothing to oppose it.
The unexpected voice says
Even so called “Moderate Muslim” will breed until they out-number the native population of the country they arrived.

Rich says
Jake is finding out what goes around comes around. So sad, too bad. Actually, his comment was pretty much on the spot. As for Omar, Talib, Sarsour and the like, their Antisemitism and hate for America is well know and documented. The two congresswomen are just the beginning shot in Islams attempt to take over this country and put it under Sharia law.

You are 100 percent right…….
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
(Tlaib) “accused Tapper of “comparing Palestinian human rights activists to terrorist white nationalists.”
I’d love to say that with this utterance we’ve finally reached rock bottom. But I’m not so optimistic as that.
mortimer says
Palestinians who drive cars into bus stops or stab Jewish families in their beds are called ‘PEACE ACTIVISTS’ by Rashida Tlaib.
This is not only propaganda, but war on precise language.
Those acts of terrorism are not the acts of a ‘peace activist’, but the acts of a JIHAD ACTIVIST.

CNN’s Jake Tapper attacked by the “Islamophobia” brigade; Leftist/Islamic campaign calls for his firing
………………
Islam is far more dangerous than is white nationalism–just look at the numbers.
Trick_or_Treat says
Yeah, “just look at the numbers” – but don’t dare try to post them up on facebook, it seems they just hate people doing that. Another thing I’ve just found out about what can really upset the gatekeeper nannys at fb is the term ‘Sudden Jihad Syndrome’, it seems I cannot use that term in any post now without almost immediately getting a notification saying the post has been taken down and that I’ve been suspended from posting anything (again) because the post “goes against community standards and is in breach of their rules on ‘hate speech’ “. !!!

Mortimer were you trained by George Bush? ” While most Muslims don’t actively support jihadism, they do nothing to oppose it.”
Max Priapi says
Did anyone forget to mention that Jake Tapper is Jewish..?.So no matter what he says or does not say, he can’t do anything right as far as the Islamo Ghazis are concerned.
