Rev. Peterson Charges: “Jesse Jackson Is A Terrorist Sympathizer”
Los Angeles – Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, Founder and President of BOND, the Brotherhood Organization of A New Destiny, today blasted Rev. Jesse Jackson for his comments equating police officers accused of abuse with terrorist “militia” and for his planned “peace” talks with Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. Jackson, who is the head of Rainbow/PUSH Coalition, was reported to have made the comments this past Monday, at the 36th annual Rainbow/PUSH Coalition and Citizenship Education Fund Conference in Chicago, Illinois.
“For Jesse Jackson to equate police officers with terrorists and ‘militia’ is pure wickedness,” said Rev. Peterson. “This so-called ‘civil-rights leader’ has encouraged the anger and hostility that most young blacks feel towards the police and whites. He is once again calling for the black community to be ‘enraged’ at the police. Jesse Jackson is the most evil and destructive force in America,” said Rev. Peterson.
Rev. Peterson added, “Jackson’s plan to go to the Middle East to meet with known terrorist Yasser Arafat is another example of his hatred for America. Only a blind and desperate man would attempt to broker a “peace” deal with the devil. The entire world knows Arafat is behind the suicide bombings in Israel. Jackson and his terrorist friends must be unmasked and exposed and we at BOND are committed to doing that.”
Rev. Peterson is the author of From Rage To Responsibility . He is also the host of a nationally syndicated, live call in radio talk show “The Jesse Lee Peterson Show” heard on Information Radio Network (IRN), M-F, 6 PM E.S.T. / 3 PM P.S.T.
