Youtube deleted this video holding Farrakhan, and his defender Cornel West, to account. (I'm "glorifying or inciting violence against," apparently, the Jews, @YouTube tells me.)

So I'm posting it here.
Many thanks to @TaliGoldsheft for shining an unrelenting spotlight on Farrakhan's hate speech.
But it looks like Youtube continues to host that same video posted by defenders of Farrakan. Lovely.

1/ I have to say, "don't worry so much about celebrities with millions of followers spewing and spreading rank antisemitism, because white nationalists elsewhere are a big problem" — as if we didn't know that — strikes me as a bad take.
2/ Identity politics at its worst treats certain antisemitism as a problem on its face and more as an inconvenient distraction from another cause, and sometimes sympathizes more with those antisemites than with their victims.
3/ Here's the thing: we have enough room in our minds to fear and oppose antisemitism from Farrakhan supporters with giant megaphones AND antisemitism from white supremacists, and maybe even hold other unrelated thoughts about politics, the environment, etc, all at the same time.

Not unfortunate because 1000bdead Israelis, mind you. Unfortunate because it would be "less effective." Incredible.
Beinart's article already made it clear he lacks empathy for Jewish lives. *Even the horrific, antisemitic 1929 massacres* he dismisses as "hardly unusual."

His follow up only underscored that point.

Suicide bombings: T'would be unfortunate if it doesn't get the job done.

Combatting suicide bombings: Brutality!

1/ Omar Shakir is Human Rights Watch's director in Israel and the Palestinian Authority. Read his account. Then see the video, in the reply immediately below, of what actually happened -- an attempted murderer being shot in the course of his attack.
2/ Here's the video:
3/ Car ramming attacks like this have been a frequent tactic by Palestinian attackers, and sometimes involved the perpetrator leaving the vehicle and continuing the attack with crowbars or knives. You can see video of an older attack, for example, here:
