Yuri Kochiyama was clearly a far-left activist and a Marxist, who admired Osama because of their shared hatred for America, Judeo-Christian values, and Western civilization.
“New York City’s Lincoln Center honored activist who said she admired Usama bin Laden,” by Michael Ruiz, Fox News, May 22, 2021:
She endured Japanese American internment during World War II and later helped convince the government to apologize and repay the victims, she opposed U.S. involvement in Vietnam and befriended Malcolm X – all before she said she “admired” Usama bin Laden following the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks.
As police departments around the country report increasing hate crimes against Asian Americans, New York City’s Lincoln Center hosted a pop-up performance to honor the civil rights activist Yuri Kochiyama on what would have been her 100th birthday this week during Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month.
The California native spent most of her adult life in the Big Apple. But even though she adopted New York as her home, in a 2003 interview with The Objector magazine, she praised the man responsible for a horrific attack that killed 2,606 of her unsuspecting neighbors on a sunny Tuesday morning.
“I’m glad that you are curious why I consider Usama bin Laden as one of the people that I admire,” she told the interviewer. “To me, he is in the category of Malcolm X, Che Guevara, Patrice Lumumba, Fidel Castro, all leaders that I admire. They had much in common. Besides being strong leaders who brought consciousness to their people, they all had severe dislike for the U.S. government and those who held power in the U.S.”…

She rightly put “Usama bin Laden ,Malcolm X, Che Guevara , Patrice Lumumba, and Fidel Castro” together all used terrorist , using violence to get their way , advocated killing anyone who opposed them. She could have rounded out her hero worshiping and added Stalin to the pack .As long as they hate Judo-Christian values , and are anti -American ,they are all heroes in her book !
mortimer says
The RED-GREEN AXIS of EVIL is here on display and the GLOBALIST OLIGARCHS running the Lincoln Center are USING it to promote their own GLOBALIST OLIGARCHY (also called ‘fascism’ by serious students of political science).
Both Muslims and neo-Marxists don’t realize the GLOBALIST OLIGARCHS are merely using them … the real game is GLOBALIST FASCISM which aims to lower wages and increase profits by making populations inter-changeable.
tim gallagher says
Well said, wpm. Yes, what a collection of absolute scum of the earth, murderous, vicious creatures this woman admired. As you mention, Stalin would fit right in, and also that other mass murdering scumbag, Mao, and probably also the vermin that have run North Korea for so long. This woman must have had a very bent and twisted mind to admire such evil people.

OTTER says
I told you–women–biggest threat these days. Everywhere, deranged, Muslim-loving women who have no clue about national security. Women do not belong in the public sphere. They are interested in children, homes, cooking, beauty, and love.
Beyond, that a disaster.
Look at the Squad: all women. Go to Barenakedislam and see how Spanish women are embracing Muslim invaders. Disgusting.
Joeyn says
There are stupid women just as there are stupid men. There are also wise women just as there are wise men. The problem is surely not women. It is truly unwise to lump all women as bad just because of some. That is what the Left and Islamists love to do. They take a few bad cops and say every cop is bad.
Keith O says
Otter, if you want,I’ll give you my daughters name and number and you can tell her that.
If you do it face to face, I’m going to sit there with a six pack and watch her destroy you, physically, intellectually and emotionally.
She’s 6′ 2″, long legs , blonde hair, blue eyes and a tolerance for dick heads like you that’s lower than mine. So bring it on!
mortimer says
Otter’s comments about women being naïve about jihad-terrorism should not be left un-nuanced. It is actually TRUE and MEASURABLE that women generally are less skeptical about vicious movements (such as Islam) and fail to recognize the dangers of jihad to women. In the US Protestant and Roman Catholic white males are generally MUCH BETTER informed about Islam and more skeptical than other groups.
Having said that, the women who are skeptical about Islam are making the same, valuable, intellectual contributions to counterjihad as men.
Islam is an ideology and men and women will have to attack Islamic, theocratic supremacism IDEOLOGICALLY. This is the most important fight in the world today if we want world peace.
JOEYN says
Yes I admire women like Pamela Geller, Nonie Darwish, Brigette Gabriel, Candace Owens and many more like them. They put many men to shame with regard to their knowledge, conviction and courage in speaking truth against the evil of Islam and/or Leftism. Thank God for them.
Kepha says
I’ve known some black Protestant males who were pretty well-informed about Islam, and very anti-Islam. Oops. I forgot to mention that they were born in Sudan, Nigeria, and Kenya…

Agreed, JOEYN.

OTTER

………………………
Actually, generally OTTER here rants about how *white* women are the biggest threat, and so they have to be prevented from voting, getting an education, and working outside the home.
He has also said that they have to be forced to breed–in other words, raped.
Note that Yuri Kochiyama is not a white woman.
And if you think this sounds a lot like the agenda of Islam, you are not wrong.
More:
Women do not belong in the public sphere. They are interested in children, homes, cooking, beauty, and love.
………………………
Actually, I rather doubt that Yuri Kochiyama had much of an interest in any of these things–more a fan of Communism and Jihad terror.
Note that OTTER has never said one thing against men who embrace these horrors–very telling.

Beyond, that a disaster.

………………………
On another recent thread OTTER claimed that “the Squad” proved that white women were a threat–despite not a single one of these vicious tools being white (they are African-American, Hispanic, Somali, and “Palestinian” Arab). *Very* odd stuff.
But then, OTTER does not feel the need to be logically consistent. As an advocate of slavery ahd oppression, how could he be?
Mr X says
Do any of the verses in the Quran or Hadith call for the death of kafirs?
Ecosse1314 says
I suggest Rod you go and have a look and come back and tell us.
mortimer says
Mr X … look up the Koran’s GENOCIDAL JIHAD VERSES here:
The Koran’s 164 Jihad Verses: K 2:178-179, 190-191, 193-194, 216-218, 244; 3:121-126, 140-143, 146, 152-158, 165-167,169, 172-173, 195; 4:71-72, 74-077, 84, 89-91, 94-95,100-104; 5:33, 35, 82; 8:1, 5, 7, 9-10, 12, 15-17, 39-48, 57-60, 65-75; 9:5, 12-14, 16, 19-20, 24-26, 29, 36, 38-39, 41, 44, 52, 73, 81, 83, 86, 88, 92, 111, 120, 122-123; 16:110; 22:39, 58, 78; 24:53, 55; 25:52; 29:6, 69; 33:15, 18, 20, 23, 25-27, 50; 42:39; 47:4, 20, 35; 48:15-24; 49:15; 59:2, 5-8, 14; 60:9; 61:4, 11, 13; 63:4; 64:14; 66:9; 73:20; 76:8.
Ecosse1314 says
Mr X tries to make his posts look like genuine questions but in reality they are statements that he thinks are true.
Thank you however for giving him something to chew on

Spot on, Mortimer and Ecosse.
I have asked Mr X at least half a dozen times now if he has a problem with Jihad terror. Tellingly he has always refused to answer.

My father endured non-Japanese-American internment in the US Army (Infantry) from February ’42 until March ’46. They should probably talk soon.

What a disgrace to the name Lincoln. Who the f!@* runs this place?
Infidel says
Also, is that center connected to either Abraham Lincoln or the GOP?
mortimer says
Leftards are people who believe that the act of being a victim AUTOMATICALLY makes one a HERO.
While seriously sensible people look at the NOBLE, RATIONAL RESPONSE of a person who is faced with adversity and injustice, the LEFTARDS use victimized people FOR PROPAGANDA PURPOSE.
A person who has suffered injustice and has countered it in a truly NOBLE, HUMANE manner is the one who should be honored. Ghandi and Martin Luther King fought injustice with PEACEFUL PROTEST and brotherly love.
They are the ones who deserve to be honored … not VICIOUS PROPONENTS OF REVOLUTIONARY MURDER.
The Lincoln Center has been taken over by real COMMUNISTS … or very rich folk who want other to believe they are in favor of the little people by endorsing murderous ideologues.
gravenimage says
Lincoln Center is named for Lincoln Square. Lincoln Square was so named in 1906, but there is apparently no record of whom it was named for. (Possibly President Lincoln, but perhaps someone both more recent and more local).
CogitoErgoSum says
I don’t understand why people living in the U.S. and who hate it here just don’t leave and go someplace else. I assume this woman’s parents immigrated from Japan to the U.S. because they felt life would be better for them and their children here. They left their original home behind and started over in another country on the opposite side of the world. If she came to think that her parents had chosen the wrong country to call their new home why didn’t she just do the same as they did and go elsewhere? She could have gone back to Japan. But no, instead she chose to stay and whine about how bad a country her parents had chosen. If you hate the U.S. then move to a country you think you will like better. None of us who actually like living in the U.S. will stop you.
Kepha says
She needs to move to North Korea and flaunt her Japanese surname.
gravenimage says
She wanted to turn the US into a Communist hell hole.
Andrew Blackadder says
I was in Cambodia in 2018 and I met, by accident, this rather obese American female who informed me that she will not live in America as its being ruled by a fascist… So she found a job teaching English in Cambodia…
Ya just cant fix that kind of stupid.
That Japanese American woman is living in the wrong country and perhaps thats why she was so sad and unhappy, confused even,,,
James Lincoln says
She was an anti-American terrorist sympathizer.
A darling of the Left, who nicely fits the agenda of the Lincoln Center…
Infidel says
Is the Lincoln center connected to the Lincoln Project?
gravenimage says
Certainly not directly. Lincoln Center *does* present some pretty impressive art, theater, and music–along with a lot of fairly stupid claptrap–and they are sadly as riddled with “political correcness” as are most arts groups these days.

All a bunch of murderous thugs.
That she is being honored in NYC is just grotesque.
