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.”

Look at the image.

Whoever posted this isn't just wrong but mentally ill. This image is a lie that helps the left (laughably) paint supporters of the Second Amendment as antisemitic. It doesn't matter if Sandra Froman, a previous president of the NRA is Jewish, or that Jews for the preservation of firearms ownership exists.
The use of the Israeli flag is a retarded lie. None of them is an Israeli citizens. Boxer, Feinstein, and Levin are objective enemies of Israel (and the US) for supporting Obama's deal to protect Iran's nuclear weapons program. Disarming Americans serves no Israeli agenda. In fact, the most pro-Israel politicians in America tend to be the most pro-gun politicians, aside from a dwindling number of Jewish Democrats.

Sure, the conservative Jewish wing. Both of them.

Sorry but that notion is a hit job by a very very liberal site called the Young Turks based on very flimsy evidence

Don't have to log in to read it.

Eight Jews responsible for gun control, identified by the Star of David. And a touch of trutherism, the Jews did 9/11. It's classic antisemitism. And though some on the thread suggest he might not have read the captions, likely lifted from a hate site, he's defending and repeating his post.

[wardaddy]

Nugent is a huge Israel supporter and works on their behalf for causes and charities

He was chastised in recent years for supporting their right to nuke their enemies

His beef is with lib Jews in media and Hollywood

[The Toll]

Are the people in this graphic supporters of Israel? I can’t say for certain with some. The only interesting question would be wether or not any of these folks make similar efforts to disarm Israelis that they do for Americans? I honestly don’t know.

[Borges]

I have a large circle of Jewish friends. Virtually all of them are conservative. You need to get out more.

.
The Nazis were as ignorant as most Jews and Christians are today.

Its all ignorance, and everyone is proud of it.

Just how that Egyptian star got chosen for the Israeli Flag, I have no idea, but the Nazi chose it because they believed that it was something holy to Yah, whom they obviously despised, along with his chosen people.

Dude look at the image.

[wardaddy]

So what’s your beef?

The fact they are Jewish and he said it

Or that he used the Star of David....i didn’t see the context of its usage so I’ll pass on commenting

Btw....the poster I replied to suggested Nugent was anti Israel and that Israeli agents were behind Jewish libtard efforts at gun control

That is not in the article and is untrue

A very progressive site called Young Turks claims he’s a 9-11 Israel truther

With almost zero evidence aside from his commenting on an Alex Jones post about media blackouts

[anton]

Your reference point, the 501(c)(3) organization, Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership, had all of $129,000 of revenues from contributions for all of 2014. About as much as the two person spay and neuter shelter I support. and, half of that was paid out in salaries.

Try again.

[Ransomed]

That confirms the impression I guess I had of Nugent.

Do you think this is some sort of weird sarcasm thing or something and just done badly? What is a ‘9/11 Israeli agent’ supposed to be or mean in the context of NY mayor Bloomberg being a Jew who wants guns banned?

Thank you for blowing this up. It is even more mentally ill than I thought. The only thing Michael Bloomberg had to do with September 11th was a need to redo a primary. Giuliani was mayor in 2001. September 11th was primary day, a fact that saved many people. (Sadly not all, including another anti-Bloomberg Jewish Republican who swore he would vote on his way home, but was always early for work with a cup of coffee and a daily briefing ready for his boss, this being his first real job. I'll never forget the email he sent at 6:45 that Tuesday, where he said that he had convinced his parents to vote for Herman Badillo. A few weeks after he died, in a paperwork error, the City of New York granted him a shotgun permit.)

There is exactly one person on this who holds Israeli dual citizenship, Rahm Emmanuel, who was Clinton's shield to screw Israel.

Please trust me on this one. The posted graphic was very anti-Semitic and referred to Michael Bloomberg as the mayor of “Jew York” and said that he was an Israeli agent involved with 911. The graphic was clearly made by someone who hated and feared Jewish people.

[Mr. Mojo]

I stated a fact — that there are plenty of conservative Jews in America and on this website. In fact, 40% of Jews voted for Reagan, who was by far the most conservative President in our lifetimes.. If you want to believe otherwise to help fuel your idiocy, so be it.

[JewishRighter]

David Horowitz, Ben Shapiro, Mark Levin, Daniel Friedman (Sultan Knish), Pamela Geller, Dennis Prager, Michael Savage, Jeff Jacoby, John Podhoretz, Andrew Breitbart, Debbie Schussel, Michael Ledeen, Daniel Pipes, Charles Krauthammer, Irving Kristol, Milton Friedman, Ayn Rand, just to name a few. Plenty of people post openly here as Jews.

I am an Orthodox Jew and I can tell you that, outside a few enclaves that are heavily into public program support, the Orthodox Jewish community is extremely conservative and votes that way. Many non-observant Jews traded their religion for a new religion: liberalism. But they are not all Jews. Far from it.

[rmlew]

Well, given is likely Jewish ancestry....

Hitler had no recorded Jewish ancestry. He was an inbred potato digger. 1000 years ago is another story

[dschapin]

The graphic that Nugent posted had captions which said that Michael Bloomberg was an Israeli agent involved in 911.

[rmlew]

Look at the graphic again. It implies they are all Israeli agents of citizens (Israeli flag) and blames Israel for 9/11. It is mentally ill garbage. You are smarter than this.
