Louis Farrakhan’s anti-Semitism and the silence of the left

Excerpt from an article by John Kass https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/columnists/kass/ct-met-anti-semitism-democrats-farrakhan-20180306-story.html

Most Americans understand the penalty for thought crimes on issues ranging from traditional marriage to affirmative action to American citizenship. Say the wrong thing, write the wrong thing, even think the wrong thing, or tweet the wrong thing — in referencing positions that were mainstream only a few years ago — and you’ll be publicly shamed in media. And you’ll be shunned as a homophobe or a racist or ultra-nationalist and mocked and probably lose your job.

The left will see to that. And most Americans understand this.

But if you’re of the left, and happen to be a Democratic Party politician, you can get away with making excuses for notorious anti-Semite and Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.

And when those excuses are made, the left is largely silent.

Comment by Shlomo Moshe Scheinman. Even though it might cause me to lose allies on this issue of opposition to all anti-semitism, I have to stick to my traditional opposition to the Homo-Sin based on the demands of the Bible (see Vayikra/Leviticus 18:22) despite the advice of John Kass.
