From Louis Farrakhan to Kyrie Irving, Kanye West, Dave Chappelle, Ilhan Omar, Jay-Z, Tamika Mallory, the Black Lives Matter movement and beyond, there is a seeming tsunami of antisemitism emanating from prominent black Americans.
Combined with the physical assaults against Jews by blacks in Brooklyn, Queens, Monsey, Jersey City, Los Angeles and other cities, the sense is growing that blacks and Jews in America are doomed to a pathological relationship of assailant and victim.
To assess the situation and find ways to remedy it, I was joined this week on the Caroline Glick Show by by Pastor Dumisani Washington. Pastor Washington is the founder and CEO of IBSI – The Institute for Black Solidarity with Israel. Through his work, he is educating black pastors about Israel and the Jews.
Pastor Washington and I analyzed the ideologies driving the hatred and what needs to happen within the black community to diminish the hatred and rebuilt the shattered tries between the two communities and between black Americans and Israel.
A large part of this work, Pastor Washington explained, involves educating black Americans about their own history—the lost history of 100 years of black advancement in America from the end of the Civil War in 1865 through the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1965.
In my opening I discussed former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s latest “exit.” This week Bennett launched an international speaking tour with an op-ed in the Sunday New York Times. It was a piece that Bennett wouldn’t have dared to publish in Israel because no one would have bought any of his lies. I explained why the political campaign Bennett wouldn’t have dared try on Israeli voters is now his calling card abroad, and why it bodes ill for Israel.
