African Americans dislike for Jews and Israel is a throw back to the 1960’s and the Cold War, when Marxists made Jews out to be the blacks’ enemies. Walker grew up in that era, and that is the source for her disdain.

About ten or fifteen years ago, the B'nai B'rith Anti-Defamation League did a study on antisemitism in the United States. Based on a system of scoring the answers to a questionnaire, they reported that 34% of American blacks harbored antisemitic attitudes compared to 9% of whites. And while white antisemitism correelated statistically with lower socioeconmic class, black antisemitism did not.

So it seems that in the black community, antisemitic attitudes (often disguised as anti-Israel attitudes) are all too commonly passed down from the elite to the masses.

The author of the posted article makes some valid points, but to imply that modern black antisemitism in the United States first reared its ugly head with the Crown Heights riot of 1991 is not historically accurate. Ironically, it was in Brooklyn, NY as well, back in 1968, that a teachers' strike by a heavily Jewish teachers' union, protesting the firing of several teachers by an overwhelmingly black local school district, precipitated a spate of well-documented, public antisemitic comments by black "leaders."

Perhaps Martin Luther King served a commendable role in suppressing underlying black antisemitism with his pro-Israel attitude, because it began to manifest itself very publicly shortly after his death.

Today, black antisemitism is one of the major reasons why there is a large gap in support for Israel between the two major political parties.

Ironically, even when Israel was supported by the domestic American Left it was being demonized and linked with Rhodesia and South Africa by the International Communist propaganda machine. Meanwhile, certain sectors of the "Right" demonized Israel as the source of the campaign against Rhodesia and South Africa.

Black anti-Semitism is another illustration that something is very, very wrong in the Black church.

All the same, I do wish apologists for Israel would stop invoking democracy and the "enlightenment" and stick to Torah and Halakhah. That is all that is needed.
