Farrakhan: 'Israeli lobby' controls U.S. government
Louis Farrakhan said the "Israeli lobby controls the government of the United States of America."
In excerpts released by the Anti-Defamation League of his annual Saviours' Day speech on March 1 in Chicago, the Nation of Islam leader also said Congress was "terrorized" by the lobby and doesn't "act for the American people that sent you to Congress, but acts for "the money and interests that have bought your soul."
Farrakhan said Israelis are "liars, thieves, murderers" who have "taken the position of God" and are out to "kill everybody." He also appeared to question the accuracy of Holocaust records.
"You can't even engage in constructive argument over the veracity of the figures of the Holocaust. We know something happened, sure, but you can't talk about" it, Farrakhan said. "In certain cities in Europe they arrest you and put you in prison for denying such."...
Anyone who has anything to do with Farrakhan or any organization of his should be ashamed.
Those bearing shame must include Facing History and Ourselves, a Boston based national organization that uses the experience of the Holocaust to teach high school students about discrimination and racism. Their teaching guide has stated that:
"Louis Farrakhan speaks to the anger and pride of African Americans"
Yet another example of the collapse and complicity of mainstream Jewish organizations.
