Ellison faces renewed scrutiny over past ties to Nation of Islam, defense of anti-Semitic figures
CNN ^ | 12/1/2016 | Andrew Kaczynski

University of Minnesota President Nils Hasselmo said he "personally found the statements in Ture's speech concerning alleged Zionist collaboration with the Nazis deeply offensive." Ellison, writing under the name "Keith E. Hakim" for the Minnesota Daily, the student newspaper at the University of Minnesota where Ellison attended law school, argued that Hasselmo "denounced Ture's comment without offering any factual refutation of it," and defended Ture's right to speak on campus and to question Zionism.

Ellison wrote, "Concerning Zionism and Ture's speech, the ASCC's position is simply this: Whether one supports or opposes the establishment of Israel in Palestine and Israel's present policies, Zionism, the ideological undergirding of Israel, is a debatable political philosophy. Anyone, including black people, has the right to hear and voice alternative views on the subject — notwithstanding our nominal citizenship."

He added, "Alternatively, the University's position appears to be this: Political Zionism is off-limits no matter what dubious circumstances Israel was founded under; no matter what the Zionists do to the Palestinians; and no matter what wicked regimes Israel allies itself with — like South Africa. This position is untenable."

FR’s coterie of Jew-haters seems to be back after a hiatus in honor of Trump.

To quote from a radical hippy song:

Ellison is not and never was Jewish. He was raised Roman Catholic by his parents, and converted to Islam in 1972 because he regarded it as an agent of social justice (and given his past laudatory views towards Farrakhan, this would have been the NOI rather than the mainline Sunni he proclaims these days).

Yes, we got all that straightened out. I was referring to the “other” Ellison...mistakenly. Thanks.

And, unless some powerful Democrats have second thoughts, he is soon to be the head of the national Democratic Party organization.

If Akim a.k.a Ellison does, it will be a significant marker in the End-of-Years Ismael/Esau alliance we now witness.

Imagine the DNC presidential candidate names that will appear in two short years.

What will Eurabia look like in two or three years?

Their planning is already underway.
