The Life and Influence of Louis Farrakhan on Jay Z and the Music Industry

The Nation of Islam, under the leadership of Louis Farrakhan, has heavily influenced the modern Hip-Hop community. Watch our video to better understand how this influence has resulted in the Hip-Hop industry’s entanglement with antisemitism. ISGAP applauds YouTube’s decision to remove the Nation of Islam’s (NOI) YouTube channel from its platform. YouTube cited its policies against hate speech in explaining this landmark decision. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center and the American Defamation League, the Nation of Islam and Louis Farrakhan in particular, are among the most active and dangerous purveyors of antisemitism in the United States.

“The possibility of another contentious confirmation hearing recalls the first the Senate ever held, which just happened to be for the first Jewish justice to sit on the court”

What the First Senate Hearing for a Supreme Court Nominee Shows about Today’s Confirmation Process
by Rick Richman
October 6, 2020

Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s Supreme Court nomination, and the possibility of another contentious Senate confirmation hearing, evoke the first time the Senate ever held such a hearing, a little over a century ago—when President Woodrow Wilson nominated, in the same election year in which he was running for a second term, a jurist who belonged to one of America’s religious minorities, and whose views were thought incompatible with the conventional opinions shared by the Washington establishment. That nominee would go on to become the first Jewish justice to sit on the Supreme Court. For the first 142 years of our history, there were no hearings on Supreme Court nominations. Presidents simply sent their names to the Senate, which considered the nominations privately and then voted on them. READ MORE (THERE IS A FREE INITAL SIGNUP TO VIEW IF ARTICLE DOESN’T DISPLAY)

Hating Tucker
by Professor Jason D. Hill
October 3, 2020

The attacks on Fox News host Tucker Carlson as a racist, white nationalist, xenophobic, immigrant-hating troll have become coin of the realm in the establishment media. Last week, the Daily Beast hit an all-time low when one of its reporters accused Carlson of blaming George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Jacob Blake for their own deaths and injuries from police. The almost libelous article attributes claims that Carlson actually never made on his show. The Daily Beast reporter simply offers his own dubious interpretations of Carlson’s interpretation of news and facts as he receives them. READ MORE

Is ultra-Orthodox ideological disobedience fueling Israel’s soaring virus rate?
by Nathan Jeffay
October 1, 2020

With Israel currently topping the world record for the rate of new daily cases of COVID-19 infection, some doctors are reaching an uncomfortable conclusion: that the actions of one community are disproportionately responsible for the surge. “I’m afraid to draw this conclusion,” says Dror Mevorach, after a day on the COVID-19 wards at Jerusalem’s Hadassah Medical Center. “I’m not sure people will get it right, and they’ll see anti-Semitism and think I’m chasing the Orthodox, and I don’t want that at all.” But he says he’s unable to ignore the scene in his wards, with numerous patients hospitalized soon after attending large indoor prayer services over Rosh Hashanah.

Why are certain New York Jews “perplexed” that #AOC has no time to meet them; #JewishInsider seems clueless

New York Jewish leaders perplexed that AOC won’t engage with them

Not long after Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) pulled off a surprise upset in the June 2018 Democratic congressional primary, Michael S. Miller, executive vice president and CEO of the Jewish Community Relations Council of New York, reached out to set up an in-person meeting…Miller, whose organization represents the Jewish community to New York government officials and counts more than 50 local Jewish groups as members, had hoped to begin a dialogue with the young progressive upstart — and, after speaking with her chief of staff, was informed that a meeting with Ocasio-Cortez would be arranged. Two years and multiple follow-ups later, Miller is still waiting on her call. READ MORE

JERUSALEM POST Comparison of US President Donald Trump to a Nazi met with criticism The immediate flashpoint in the debate is a new 30-second ad released Tuesday by the Jewish Democratic Council of America that draws parallels between the rise of fascism in Germany and the Trump presidency. In swift and strong rebukes, the antisemitism watchdogs condemned the ad as offensive. One came from the Anti-Defamation League, which has been anything but shy in calling out a range of Trump’s statements and actions.

JNS Melanie Phillips: Trivializing the true evil of Nazism There is clearly no limit to the depths of moral perversity that the enemies of President Donald Trump are prepared to plumb, not least within America’s Jewish community. The Jewish Democratic Council of America has released a new campaign ad aimed at Jewish voters in swing states which compares Trump’s presidency to the rise of fascism in Germany.

Hungry Hound:Jeff & Jude’s brings pick-up Jewish deli to Chicago’s Northwest Side
by Steve Dolinsky
October 2, 2020

…It’s only open a few hours on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. But the few items on offer are certainly worth driving to pick up, especially if you miss the hearty breads and smoked meats, like I do, from a bygone era. Ursula Siker was a baker in L.A., so when she decided to open Jeff & Jude’s Jewish Deli – an homage to her folks, located on the cusp of Humboldt Park and Ukrainian Village – eggy, braided challahs and rustic country loaves would have to be a part of her menu. “We had a really large Jewish deli community where I come from, and so when I moved to Chicago, one of the first things I noticed was there was a lack of it in the city itself.

Meet the top 15 Jewish political donors in this election cycle
by Ron Kampeas
September 24, 2020

George Soros may draw some of the most vociferous criticism, but he’s hardly the biggest political donor in this cash-heavy election cycle — Democrat or Republican. In fact, Soros is 24th on the largest givers in this cycle, and Jewish donors on both the right and left populate the list above him. That’s according to Open Secrets, which provides the top 100 individuals or married couples donating to the 2020 campaign. Among the top 25 on the list, 15 are Jewish or of Jewish origin. They include Tom Steyer, No. 1 on the list, and Donald Sussman, who have joined Soros in the litany of Democratic donors criticized by Republicans. READ MORE

Why Is It so Hard for There to Be Zero Tolerance for Jew-Hatred on Campus?
by Micha Danzig
October 1, 2020

On March 7, 2015, members of the University of Oklahoma (OU) chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE) were filmed on a bus performing a racist song that used the “N word” and enthusiastically referencing Jim Crow. The video of the incident was reported by The Oklahoma Daily on March 8. That same day, the national office for SAE closed the OU Chapter house, and OU officials gave SAE members until the end of March 10 to move out…All of this — sadly — stands in sharp contrast to how USC has responded to Jew-hatred on its campus.

Amy Coney Barrett, Jewish liberals and the US Constitution
by Ruthie Blum
September 29, 2020

…Her personal life and politics are not the main thorns in the side of the left, however. No, the real problem is one that her detractors are doing everything in their power to obfuscate: that she believes in the separation of powers—restricting the purview of the Supreme Court to interpreting the law rather than forging it. During her speech at the White House on Saturday—with her husband and seven children in attendance—she was clear on this matter. “A judge must apply the law as written,” she said. “Judges are not policymakers, and they must be resolute in setting aside any policy views they might hold.” READ MORE

The rabbis deplored these attacks upon the nominee as “based in bigotry and bias.”

New Documentary Examines The Death Of Michael Brown And Race In America
by Jordan Davidson
September 17, 2020

Shelby Steele, a conservative author and Robert J. and Marion E. Oster Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, wrote and narrated a new documentary, “What Killed Michael Brown?”, exploring race and violence in America. Directed by Eli Steele and set to premiere on streaming platforms on October 16, “What Killed Michael Brown?” is meant to examine race relations in the United States and the reactions to the deaths of young black men such as Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri…Steele believes it is the culture of black victimization and the rise of “white guilt” that plays a role in the increasing amount of attention and outrage at these events.
