Opinion: We Confronted Chelsea Clinton At The Christchurch Vigil. Here's Why.

Yesterday we posted a video of Leen confronting Chelsea Clinton at a vigil for the victims of the white supremacist New Zealand mosque massacre. Today, we woke up to over 100,000 people talking about it on Twitter. Needless to say, this is not what we expected.

We went to the vigil for one reason: to grieve the loss of innocent lives that were stolen from this world by vile hatred. We wanted to join our friends and colleagues in a time of heartbreak and agony, to remember the 49 Muslims who were murdered for being Muslim. As a Jewish American-Israeli and a Palestinian Muslim, we understand far too well the consequences of anti-Semitism, anti-Muslim bigotry, and white supremacy. And as activists who are unafraid to speak the truth, we know we have a duty to call out any bigotry wherever it exists.

Money quote:

We did a double take when we first noticed Chelsea Clinton was at the vigil. Just weeks before this tragedy, we bore witness to a bigoted, anti-Muslim mob coming after Rep. Ilhan Omar for speaking the truth about the massive influence of the Israel lobby in this country.

/src on/Jews hypnotizing the world with benjamins.

The Israeli lobby is SO STRONG here that we have thousands of troops stationed in Israel.

That’s sarcasm.

I guess SK and W European lobbyists have more clout. And Japanese.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Seems they forgot about the ongoing month-after-month slaughter of Black African Christians in Nigeria by Muslims. I guess those victims aren't "cool" and "trendy" enough for the Starbucks Cowboy Progs.

Those muslim youngins going to spring break?

[farming pharmer]

Yet does Buttfeed agonize over the hundreds of Christians killed this month in various countries?

"we understand far too well the consequences of anti-Semitism, anti-Muslim bigotry, and white supremacy.

Hmmmm... I wonder why the media never talks about muslim supremacy..?

[miss marmelstein]

These are just bad, bad people. They remind me of the SA. It didn’t end well for Germany and won’t end well for us. (Unless something is done.)

Chelsea should have said:

"I have no obligation to remain silent in the face of your antisemitism."

"To pretend that calling you out motivated other hate is a phony defense for your bad behavior."

[alloysteel]

It appears that the author has somehow conflated “anti-Muslim” with “anti-Semitic”, and conjoined both in the fight against “white supremacy”, a stand they think is a worthwhile fight and hill to die upon.

A couple of fallacies here. The first of which is, to IGNORE the fact that some of these rants by Muslims, notably and particularly Representative Ilhan Omar, were EXTREMELY anti-Semitic, and laced with every stereotype ever made up about the Jewish people, and especially Israel. Secondly, to call her on the carpet is anti-Muslim? Calling out hatred is supposed to be a morally right position, is it not? Or who sets the rules of engagement here?

Now, I do not wish to imply that I am in any way defending Chelsea Clinton, who, goodness knows, has plenty of her own lapses to account and atone for, but “white supremacy” is not one of those personal traits.

I am unable to follow the logic of this connection.

[thoughtomator]

Both authors should be deported.

[RoosterRedux]

These two young women, one of whom is Jewish and is willing to backstab Jews and Israel in favor of Muslims, have no, nada, zero concern about anti-semitism, hence their attacks on Chelsea for her disapproval of Ilhan Omar's anti-Semitism.

[Thank You Rush]

“”anti-Muslim mob coming after Rep. Ilhan Omar “”

Really? Were we all asleep when that took place? I sure didn’t see ANY MOB. I saw people exercising their right to speak. The right that these two “activists” seem to think belongs to them.

[OKSooner]

Chelsea is (obviously) up to her eyeballs in her mom's corruption, but geez... these people are nuts.

(See, Chelsea? We're always fair about all this kind of stuff all the time here on our side.)

[Thank You Rush]

“”to grieve the loss of innocent lives that were stolen from this world by vile hatred””

Right - and our way of showing that was by getting in Chelsea’s face in the name of LOVE! It was so apparent - why couldn’t we see it? I thought I saw “vile hatred” but I must have been hallucinating!

[Thank You Rush]

“”have no, nada, zero concern about anti-semitism””

You’re not supposed to have noticed that. They are ill behaved persons of dubious parentage - maybe one has a Jewish name? So what does that prove?

[RoosterRedux]

The little Jewish girl actually brags about her heritage before stabbing her family and ancestors in the back.

Here is her bio (at source)...

Rose Asaf is a senior at New York University where she studies Comparative Politics and American Studies. She is an Israeli-American Jewish woman, and she co-founded the Jewish Voice for Peace chapter at NYU.

These two young women, one of whom is Jewish and is willing to backstab Jews and Israel in favor of Muslims,

In the finest traditions of George Soros who really hates the State of Israel as it is a standing rebuke for his actions during the Holocaust.

[goodnesswins]

She’s crazy

[DesertRhino]

So to owner mass shootings, nobody must ever criticize anything a moslem politician says.
Yeah, sure.

[circlecity]

So, not being an anti-Semite makes you an islamophobe. Gotcha.
