The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) today condemned a Facebook post by rock musician and gun rights activist Ted Nugent suggesting that prominent Jewish Americans are behind the advocacy for stronger gun control laws.

Earlier today, Nugent shared a graphic titled “So who is really behind gun control?” on his Facebook page. The visual featured thumbnail photos of prominent Jewish Americans, including former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Senator Chuck Schumer, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Harvard professor Alan Dershowitz and several others, with each photo emblazoned with the Israeli flag.

The post was accompanied by a written message from Nugent: “Know these punks. They hate freedom, they hate good over evil. They would deny us the basic human right to self defense & to KEEP AND BEAR ARMS while many of them have tax paid hired ARMED security! Know them well. Tell every1 you know how evil they are.”

The visual was apparently not created by Nugent, but has appeared in the past on anti-Semitic web sites.

Jonathan A. Greenblatt, ADL CEO, issued the following statement:

“Ted Nugent has a long history of being an equal opportunity offender. But his latest share on Facebook, making the outrageous suggestion that Jews are behind gun control, is nothing short of conspiratorial anti-Semitism. Regardless of one’s views on gun control, this kind of scapegoating of an entire religious group is completely unacceptable and completely divorced from reality.

“It should go without saying that anti-Semitism has no place in the gun control debate. Nugent should be ashamed for promoting anti-Semitic content, and we hope that good people on both sides of the gun control debate will reject his tactics and his message. We hope that Nugent will have the good sense to remove this share immediately so that it does not spread virally across the internet.”

In January 2014, ADL spoke out after Nugent made public remarks comparing film producer Harvey Weinstein to Hitler’s chief propagandist, Joseph Goebbels, charging that Weinstein was out to “destroy the NRA.”

It makes no sense to single out da joos for being communists/anti-constitution gun control freaks. But I am not surprised it happened.

I’m over the first stage of shock in the negative way Jews and Israel are being treated and depicted in Western countries. Arab fellow travelers have fueled the West’s usual suspects - neo-nazis (socialists)- with new life.

It pisses me off now. But it is getting worse for both Jews and Christians. We either hang together against cultural marxists and Islam or hang separately. It’s time for cultural and political Islam and Marxism to be put down.

“Their support for gun control has nothing to do with their Judaism. “

My stock opinion regarding Jews and gun control is:

Six Million unarmed, dead Jews didn’t teach anyone a lesson?

How are they going to enforce “Never Again!” without guns?

Well, I read fast.

Didnt even see that.

[DoughtyOne]

Ok, great.

This repulsive garbage is being advocated by Ann Coulter on her Twitter feed as well.

The Trump candidacy is being used as a vehicle to isolate Israel and denigrate Jews.

I'm not having it.

If you lack the intellectual capacity or integrity to acknowledge that the symbols in Nugent’so post were stars of David and referred to the fact that the people shown were Jews then you have only two choices: you’re a filthy ant-semite or a moron. Take your pick.

Ann was cheerleading Christie’s abhorrent response to abortion at that last debate, as well: https://twitter.com/AnnCoulter/status/696174520986660865

I don't see what Israel has to do with gun control in the US, but again, the image itself not exactly nightmare-inducing.

You're joking, right? What about labeling Bloomberg an "Israeli agent?" What about "Gave Russian Jew immigrants your tax money?"

I've been attacking and ridiculing the paranoia of Jewish liberals for years and years, but this graphic is a nightmare. It brazenly identifies "Jews" (as Jews) as the power "behind" gun control. It marks them with Israeli flags and contains the above slurs. This is an anti-Semitic nightmare and no wonder Jews of all political persuasions are scared.

Some FReepers apparently simply don't get it. Shame on them.

And shame on Ted Nugent!

Disgusting.

I'm not surprised at continued classic anti-Semitism, but I have been very surprised (and disappointed) at the quarters from which some of it is coming.

How many of these "conservative leaders" have been anti-Semites all along? How many FReepers agree with them???

He had some Semitic and African ancestors. We don’t know when and have no reason to think that Alois Heidler was not inbred as his parents attested to.

[Pox]

Their advocacy for gun control makes them my mortal enemy. I don't care if they are jews, christians, or whatever. They are the enemy, period.

[Ransomed]

I’m not convinced he posted this absolutely knowingly yet. This is social media, the medium of mass confusion and PR disasters. We’ll see if he is a mouth breather or not. I mean, what has he said about Jews and Israel in the past? Anyone know? Did something change or what? I’m going to wait till the dust completely settles on this one.

I'm not convinced he posted this absolutely knowingly yet.

How in blazes does one "unknowingly" post a graphic of Jews with Israeli flags superimposed on them and explicitly anti-Semitic statements? Did he do it in his sleep???

Like you, so far as I know Nugent has never been anti-Israel. But we may be about to find out a lot of things we didn't know about a lot of people.

[wardaddy]

He denies he spread anything

He commented to Alex Jones that he couldn’t get media time either

He participates in charities for the IDF

He has a personal relationship with JFPO

And there’s more if you google it

If you think he’s a 9-11 Israel truther you need to ask him

I don’t know Ted

I’m just googling what I can glean and examining who’s beating him up online

I agreed the Star of David was poor taste given the obvious linkage

Beyond that I’m just seeing a lot of accusing

And watching Sopranos for the 4th time

[wardaddy]

I agree but you need to see the context of it and he stated that as juxtaposed on his Facebook page against the right thinking JFPO

I linked his Facebook page earlier

How the hell has this graphic been posted TO THIS VERY THREAD so often AND FREEPERS NOT GET IT YET?!! It’s only been 170 posts over 4 hours or so. I reckon IF he did it unknowingly, then MAYBE some of this same precision and observational skill went down as regards a 60+ year old posting kooky evil Jew weirdness on mass social media.

Unfortunately this will be one more hurdle for Nugent to be confirmed as Secretary of the Interior next year.
