Fox News calls Malcolm X a "civil rights activist"


In its coverage of of the death of Malcolm Shabazz, the grandson of Malcolm X, Fox News on May 10 shockingly labeled Malcolm X as a "civil rights activist."

The headline on Fox News Latino on Published May 10, 2013 read "Malcolm Shabazz, Grandson Of Civil Rights Leader Malcolm X, Killed In Mexico" and the first line of the story stated "The grandson of famed civil rights activists Malcolm X was killed in Mexico City under what is a currently unclear circumstances."

(See: http://latino.foxnews.com/latino/news/2013/05/10/malcolm-shabazz-grandson-civil-rights-leader-malcolm-x-killed-in-mexico/.)

Even The New York Times did better in 2011 when they labeled him as a "the black nationalist leader." (See: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/02/books/malcolm-x-biographer-dies-on-eve-of-publication-of-redefining-work.html)

Will Fox next call Che Guevara a freedom fighter?

Since the '60s Che and Malcolm X have been among the very top poster icons of Anti-Americans.

And, it is worth remembering that the Islamists that launched the revolution in Tunisia in 2011 worshiped Che too:

My apologies to Steve Malzberg for leaving him out of my latest article.


My sincerest apologies to Steve Malzberg for leaving him out of my latest article. Any list of Jewish and patriotic radio talk show hosts is incomplete without him.

The article Why Abe Foxman Was Wrong on Islamic Attack on the Boston Marathon can be read at:

http://www.algemeiner.com/2013/04/23/why-abe-foxman-was-wrong-on-islamic-attack-on-the-boston-marathon/

It has generated some attention. See:

The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising: Worth Remembering


With the huge headlines last week -- the Islamic terrorist attack on the Boston Marathon, the Ricin Letters and the Texas Fertilizer Fire --  you may have missed the below April 19th New York Times op-ed discussing the Jewish fighters from the ZZW and ZOB in the Warsaw Ghetto. The article mentions Moshe Arens whose research on the Ghetto I have written about twice:

The Jewish Hero History Forgot:
http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/19/opinion/the-jewish-hero-history-forgot.html

As I wrote in December 2012:

When it comes to criticizing Democrats who are hostile to Israel, the Jewish elites have a history of weakness.  From Jesse Jackson to Jimmy Carter to Barack Obama, Democrats are treated with kid gloves and given the benefit of the doubt, while pro-Israel Republicans are never given their due praise.  [Source: http://www.americanthinker.com/2012/12/john_kerry_at_state_a_disaster_for_israel.html]

TimeWarner Is Spinning Off Time Inc - Let's Remember Time's Record on Israel



As news hits that "Time Warner Inc [has] announced that its Board of Directors has authorized management to proceed with plans for the complete legal and structural separation of Time Inc. from Time Warner." perhaps there is no better time to recall Time Magazine's truly horrible record of anti-Israel bias.

Here are links to two of my articles on Time:

Time Warner's Two-Front Assault on Israel:

 'Time' is Biased Against Israel:

Lastly, here is the headline from The Atlantic that sums up things well:

Jews, Israel and the 2013 Oscars


A lot has been written about Jews, Israel and the 2013 Oscars. Most articles before the awards show dealt with "5 Broken Cameras” and “The Gatekeepers” two films that were highly critical of Israel and rightly failed to win the Oscar for Best Documentary. After the show many pundits wrote about the segment taht featured host Seth MacFarlane’s “Ted” character and actor Mark Wahlberg. One of the better responses to ADL's reaction can be found here: http://yidwithlid.blogspot.com/2013/02/abe-foxmans-slam-of-macfarlane-jewish.html

The annual “In Memoriam” segment was introduced by George Clooney and featured Ernest Borgnine, Jack Klugman and Charles Durning. Also mentioned was Celeste Holm who won an Academy Award 65  years ago for her performance in Gentleman's Agreement.

Here is a link to an article I wrote after Ms. Holm's passing: http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/11935.

An article about the Gentleman's Agreement that appeared in February 2013 is also worth reading:

General Norman Schwarzkopf vs. John Kerry

General Norman Schwarzkopf passed away on December 27, 2012.

Senator Kerry has been nominated by President Obama to be the next Secretary of State and it would serve Americans well to recall the words of General Schwarzkopf from November 1, 2004:

"Senator Kerry opposed the Reagan defense build-up that won the Cold War. Senator Kerry opposed the removal of Saddam Hussein from Kuwait. Senator Kerry proposed billions in intelligence cuts after the first attack on the World Trade Center. Senator Kerry voted against funds to equip our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan with supplies like body armor and ammunition... Senator Kerry has a record of weakness that gives me no confidence in his ability to fight and win the War on Terror."

[Source: http://tks.nationalreview.com/post/?q=ZTQ2MDNkNjQ3Yzc3NTMwNzQ1YjA1MDY3Y2I0NjM3YzA=]

My essay about John Kerry appeared on December 28, 2012 on the American Thinker website:

http://www.americanthinker.com/2012/12/john_kerry_at_state_a_disaster_for_israel.html

The passing of General Schwarzkopf reminds one of General Douglas MacArthur's Address to Congress (April 19, 1951) when he stated:

"The world has turned over many times since I took the oath at West Point, and the hopes and dreams have all since vanished, but I still remember the refrain of one of the most popular barracks ballads of that day which proclaimed most proudly that old soldiers never die; they just fade away. And like the old soldier of that ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty."  

Both Schwarzkopf and MacArthur were graduates of West Point.

R.I.P. General Schwarzkopf.

A Zionist Answer to Tom Friedman of The New York Times

A Zionist Answer to Tom Friedman of The New York Times

Tom Friedman has done it again. Displaying his distorted view of the U.S. - Israel relationship for all to see in the Sunday Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/11/opinion/sunday/friedman-president-obama-is-busy.html?_r=0.

To better understand Tom Friedman and his hypocrisy and his biases please see my April 2011 article "Thomas Friedman, Anti-Semitism and Louis Farrakhan" here: http://www.jewishindy.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=15147 or here:   http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2011/04/thomas_friedman_antisemitism_a.html.


As Jerusalem Post columnist Caroline Glick wrote in December 2011:
"For decades New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman balanced his substantively anti-Israel positions with repeated protestations of love for Israel."  See her whole article here: http://townhall.com/columnists/carolineglick/2011/12/20/tom_friedmans_losing_battle.

Finally, here is a response Dennis Prager penned in December 2011 in response to Friedman column:
