The issue is not whether there are African Jewish/Israelite tribes. There are. #HebrewsToNegroes just tries to delegitimize any Jews *not* of African descent, wickedly quoting Hitler (falsely) in the process. Our organization supports Lemba Jews in South Africa. You can too. 👇🏾
People quoting Malcolm X in their denigration of ‘Zionists’:
1. Can’t define ‘Zionist’ (hint: it’s used as an antisemitic slur) 2. Don’t know that, after Mecca, Malcolm favorably compared Zionism to pan-Africanism as a model for the African diaspora.
Don’t ask me about antisemitism in the Black community when you blindly support virtually every progressive effort to increase antisemitism within the Black community.
PREVIEW
The film definitely touches on Israelite tribes/customs throughout Africa. It is helpful in that regard if disjunct in its approach (jumping from the Assyrian invasion to the TransAtlantic Slave Trade nearly 1,000 years later)...
The film just attempts to connect African Hebrew presence with the delegitimization of other parts of the Jewish diaspora - especially in Europe. Most dangerously, it blames (or infers blame to) Ashkenazim and Sephardim for slavery and the dispossession of African Israelites...
Louis Farrakhan lies about the historic Jewish role in the enslavement of Black Africans and lies about the *current* Arab role in the enslavement of Black Africans. Even defended the oppressors of the Sudanese.
Nation of Islam head Louis Farrakhan continues to maintain his silence regarding black slavery in Muslim North Africa while blaming the troubles of black people worldwide on the Jews. jns.org/opinion/farrak…
