Let’s hope more people abandon Democrats. That’s the only positive angle in Joy Reid’s absolutely irrational comments, which are sure to influence her leftist following. Reid’s accusation that Israel is an “expansionist power” is highly uninformed. Compare the tiny state of Israel (including Judea and Samaria) to the vast Middle East, which Islam conquered by […]
How Antisemitism Turned CBS Against the Left
There comes a time when even liberal Jews have had enough. Every systemic change has a dividing line and that line arrived for CBS on September 30, 2024. Ta-Nehisi Coates, a black supremacist author, whose books had taken off in the era of BLM, had made the same post-BLM shift as many others of his […]
Left Outraged After Military School Libraries Dump Book That Called 9/11 Firefighters ‘Not Human’
The police officers and firefighters who died on September 11 “were not human to me.” The question isn’t why the Pentagon has begun getting toxic trash like this out of military school libraries. The question is why they were there in the first place. But the Huffington Post has a list of what they’re calling […]
Ta-Nehisi Coates’ Ignorant Adventure in Jerusalem
Ta-Nehisi Coates sees “apartheid” in having to wait to enter the Mughrabi Gate to the Temple Mount? But why was Ta-Nehisi Coates’ party kept waiting before being given permission to enter? First, there was all that photographic equipment which was surely unusual; how many visitors to the Temple Mount would be carrying such heavy equipment? […]
Ta-Nehisi Coates Spent Ten Days in Israel and Became an Expert
The well-pleased pleaser Ta-Nehisi Coates spent ten days in Israel and became an expert on the country. He is, you see, a quick study. Coates displayed his “expertise” in his book The Message, which has been harshly criticized by knowledgeable reviewers, including the tireless Elder of Ziyon. More on Coates’ discussion of Jerusalem’s Old City, […]
Ta-Nehisi Coates Finds Zionism ‘Disturbing,’ But Why?
Ta-Nehisi Coates wants the world to know that Israel practices “apartheid,” though he provides not a shred of evidence for that: “Ta-Nehisi Coates Compares Israeli Policies Toward Palestinians to American Jim Crow Laws at Campus Event,” by Corey Walker, Algemeiner, December 5, 2024: “You know that during segregation [white people] were like ‘yes, but what […]
Ta-Nehisi Coates On Israeli ‘Apartheid’
Ta-Nehisi Coates is a smiling simpleton, comically unaware of the foolish figure he cuts. He recently returned from a 10-day trip to Israel and the West Bank, and decided he knew so much about the truth of the Israel-Arab dispute that he simply had to write it up in book form. And voilà, The Message […]
CBS Staffers Enraged As Tony Dokoupil’s Questioning of Ta-Nehisi Coates was Insufficiently Obsequious
Veteran CBS journalist Tony Dokoupil dared to question Ta-Nehisi Coates, whose books are jejune attacks on real and imagined white racism, about a chapter on Israel and the Palestinians in his just-published book The Message: “CBS News says heated Ta-Nehisi Coates interview did not meet editorial standards after criticism,” by Brian Stelter and Hadas Gold, […]
CBS Rebukes Journalist for Committing the Crime of Journalism Against Ta-Nehisi Coates
On CBS’s The Morning Show, the veteran journalist Tony Dokoupil dared to question the show’s guest, Ta-Nehisi Coates, about a chapter on Israel and the Palestinians in his just-published book The Message. Then all hell broke loose, as left-wing anti-Israel staffers at CBS demanded that Dokoupil be made to answer for his performance, and the […]
The Real Scandal at CBS News is Promoting a Terror Apologist Before Oct 7
The Jews are guilty of “an enormous con,” he storms, their history is “a poorly wrought fairy tale.” It was bad enough that professional woke author Ta-Nehisi Coates chose to go all in on antisemitism and Islamic terrorism with his new book of essays ‘The Message’ (which I reviewed today), but Random House, an ex-Nazi corporation that […]
