Jewish American Heritage Month

Nation of Islam (NOI) leader Louis Farrakhans first public appearance after suffering a heart attack featured a number of anti-Semitic claims about Jewish control over the American government, Black organizations and other sectors.

During his December 1 speech at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis, Farrakhan revealed he was hospitalized approximately two months ago due to a heart attack. When Farrakhan was unable to deliver his 2013 Holy Day of Atonement speech in Alabama in October, the NOI originally said he was hospitalized for an infection.

In his speech, Farrakhan bluntly stated his theory about who controls the U.S. government: were gonna bring you up to speed. The American government is under control of the Zionists. Farrakhan went on to claim that the Jewish community has power over the NOI and other Black organizations. Its not that Im against the Jewish people. Thats just falseThey have such power and influence that they made most of you believe that Im against the Jewish people.

He made similar claims about the NAACP, stating You members of the NAACP, you want to put on a march to Washington but you dont have no money, so who do you go to? You go to philanthropists, many of them are Jewish. He continued, They tell you who you can have speaking. And they told you dont have Farrakhan. And you couldnt say a damn thing because it wasnt your money it was theirs.

Farrakhan also described sending a copy of the NOIs anti-Semitic book, The Secret Relationship between Blacks and Jews, which alleges disproportionate Jewish involvement in the slavetrade, to the presidents of all the major Jewish organizations as well as some Jewish public officials. This is not the first time Farrakhan has done so. The letter stated that the purpose of sending the book was to appeal to Jews who are sitting on top of the world in power with riches and influence while the masses of my peopleare in the worst condition of any member of the human family to convince them to repair the damage that has been done by your ancestors tomine.

The crowd applauded as Farrakhan read the last line of the letter which claimed that if the Jews do not make the wise and best choice, that God will bring you and your people to disgrace and ruin and destroy your power and influence here in America and throughout theworld.

Also in the sermon, Farrakhan compared the Jews of today to those of Jesus time, claiming both had disproportionate influence over the government. Did you know the Jesus had a real problem with the Jewish community? They had power, the rabbis of that day, over the Roman authorities just as they have power today over our government, he alleged.

Farrakhans blatantly anti-Semitic public statements are just one part of the NOIs larger anti-Jewish propaganda campaign. The NOI Research Group (NOIRG), which created a website in 2012 that promotes virulently anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, tweeted and posted on Facebook a number of times that Israel was behind 9/11, including most recently (December 3) posting that #Israel has an ugly history of deadly false flag operations, including9/11.
