ADL: Ellisons Racist Comments Disqualifies Him To Lead DNC

Israel News Agency
New York, NY December 1, 2016 The Anti-Defamation League (ADL), which only last month defended and described Rep. Keith Ellison as a man of good character, have now decided to expose Ellison for racist comments he has made against Jews.
In 2010, Ellison stated that US foreign policy was directed by Israel. By making this comment Ellison reinforced age-old racist stereotypes about Jewish control of the US government.
Ellison, a past member of the radical Nation of Islam and supporter of anti-semite advocate Louis Farrakhan, received substantial campaign contributions from groups tied to the Muslim Brotherhood. The Muslim Brotherhood is the parent organization of Hamas, al Qaeda and other terrorist entities.
Egypt, Kazakhstan, Saudi Arabia, Russia, the UAE and Kuwait have all designated the Muslim Brotherhood to be a terrorist organization.
In 2014, Ellison was one of only eight members of Congress who voted against the bipartisan bill to provide $225 million to Israels Iron dome missile system.
Ellison was now supporting the ability of Islamic terror organizations to launch missiles against cities and towns in Israel the murder of Jewish civilians.
ADL CEO Jonathan A. Greenblatt, issued the following statement today denouncing Ellison.
When Rep. Ellisons candidacy to be chair of the Democratic National Committee was first reported, ADL did not rush to judgment. Instead, we took a hard look at the totality of his record on key issues on our agenda. We spoke to numerous leaders in the community and to Mr. Ellison himself.
ADLs subsequent statement on his candidacy appreciated his contrition on some matters, acknowledged areas of commonality but clearly expressed real concern where Rep. Ellison held divergent policy views, particularly related to Israels security.
New information recently has come to light that raises serious concerns about whether Rep. Ellison faithfully could represent the Democratic Partys traditional support for a strong and secure Israel.
In a speech recorded in 2010 to a group of supporters, Rep. Ellison is heard suggesting that American foreign policy in the Middle East is driven by Israel, saying: The United States foreign policy in the Middle East is governed by what is good or bad through a country of 7 million people. A region of 350 million all turns on a country of 7 million. Does that make sense? Is that logic? Right? When the Americans who trace their roots back to those 350 million get involved, everything changes.
Rep. Ellisons remarks are both deeply disturbing and disqualifying.
His words imply that U.S. foreign policy is based on religiously or national origin-based special interests rather than simply on Americas best interests.
Additionally, whether intentional or not, his words raise the specter of age-old stereotypes about Jewish control of our government, a poisonous myth that may persist in parts of the world where intolerance thrives, but that has no place in open societies like the U.S.
These comments sharply contrast with the Democratic National Committee platform position, which states: A strong and secure Israel is vital to the United States because we share overarching strategic interests and the common values of democracy, equality, tolerance, and pluralism.
ADL is a non-partisan organization and does not support any political party; however, we deeply believe in the importance of bipartisan support for Israel. Such support is crucial to ensure continued engagement with our most important ally in the region, a democracy whose emphasis on equality and commitment to the rule of law stands in stark contrast to the anarchy and authoritarian regimes that prevail in much of the Middle East. These shared values are the bedrock for the long-standing relationship between the U.S. and Israel.
Whoever it may be, we would hope that the next head of the Democratic Party would have fidelity to these timeless ideals at all times.
Two weeks ago, Morton A. Klein, the President of the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) urged that Ellison not be appointed to head the DNC.
The ZOA clearly illustrated Ellisons dangerous positions, involvements and anti-Israel congressional initiatives.
OH PUHLEEZE, ADL...you would RATHER condemn a CHRISTIAN than a MUSLIM....EMBRACE THE SUCK!!!
I love this guy as the head of the DNC. Perfect. Black militant hater and a muslim to boot. Couldn’t be better.
Oh let’s be magnanimous. It’s dawned on them that they did something stupid.
Ain’t it funny how experience can be the best teacher?
Ellison is a perfect fit for DNC.
He’d be a beautiful nemesis for their wickedness.
The question that has dawned on ADL, finally, is that they’re going to be on the receiving end of this nemesis too.
Keith Ellison was sworn in, as a new member of congress holding two Korans not a bible:
Keith Ellison, Mohammedan. Allahu Akbar!
He is a NOI Islamic pos. He was sworn into office holding two not one Korans.
Is this the same ADL CEO Jonathan A. Greenblatt whose previous job was Special Assistant to the President (Obama)?
What a sudden turnaround! Someone saw the light.
The flak/fear from the membership must have been extraordinary.
Racist? That qualifies him for eternal DNC head.
I hope they do name Ellison the DNC chief, they will clearly identify themselves as the party of Allah (Satan)
I hope they name him as chairman also.
The cognitive dissonance liberal Jews will experience will hopefully shock them back to reality. But, it’s not a sure thing.
Perfect racist choice for the racist Democrats.
The democrats are racists and this is simply further qualification for the bastard to lead them.
News: ADL surprised that anti-Jew Muslim is anti-Jew. Film at 11.
Ellison is a plant and the Democrats are falling for it hook,line and sinker
Waiting for civil war to erupt in the Dem party between Jewish Leftists and Black Muslims.
Democrat women WANT to be forced to wear burkas!
Liberal Jews will soon find out that the demo-rat party doesn’t need them.
The DNC should choose him! This would just add to the dumpster fire that is the Left. This is going to be a very invigorating 4 years.
If Ellison had remained quiet on Israel, the ADL likely would have said he’s a positive and passionate example for diversity, tolerance and inclusion.
Their game is getting old and worn out.
