			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The moderators at Minnpost, a theoretically a &#8220;nonprofit, nonpartisan enterprise whose mission is to provide high-quality journalism for news-intense people who care about Minnesota&#8221; allowed one of the regular Jew-obsessed commenters, Chuck Johnson, to <a href="http://www.minnpost.com/douggrow/2011/09/13/31540/lifelong_activist_marv_davidov_proud_that_alliant_and_honeywell_protests_fought_nations_war_machine#comment_79491" target="_blank">post the following</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>So when has the would be peacenik Davidov ever protested the AIPAC/Israeli Apartheid war machine?<br />
Never&#8230;correct? And I wonder why? Maybe Doug Grow can explain this in an unvarnished fashion???????????????/</p></blockquote>
<p>I wrote Don Effenberger, the News Editor:</p>
<blockquote><p>The use of &#8220;AIPAC/Israeli Apartheid war machine&#8221; is a hyperbolic<br />
anti-Semitic canard, and the use of &#8220;Israeli Apartheid&#8221; is a<br />
pernicious libel. Can you or the nameless moderator justify this?</p></blockquote>
<p>To which he replied:</p>
<blockquote><p>Mr. Krasnoff, you&#8217;re welcome to your opinion, but there appear to be more than 380 groups, including Jewish groups, who disagree with you. <a href="http://www.endtheoccupation.org/" target="_blank">http://www.endtheoccupation.org/</a> I don&#8217;t see a way to prevent folks from disgreeing with you in a way that doesn&#8217;t offend you.</p></blockquote>
<p>This was just too much.</p>
<blockquote><p>Mr. Effenberger,</p>
<p>The &#8220;apartheid&#8221; canard against Israel is a lie, it is libel, it is<br />
unwarranted defamation. This is not my opinion, it is a fact. Using an<br />
appeal to authority and the attempt to use the &#8220;Good Jew&#8221; argument<br />
does not make the charge of apartheid any more valid. Even if a<br />
thousand or two thousand groups leveled the apartheid charge against<br />
Israel it wouldn&#8217;t make it true.</p>
<p>The moderators, representing Minnpost, allowed a lie to be perpetrated.</p></blockquote>
<p>I note that email address of Joel Kramer, Editor and CEO of Minnpost, is not to be found. <a href="http://www.minnpost.com/about/" target="_blank">His bio tells us almost all we need to know</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8230;investors in Minnesota Jewish Media, a private partnership that owns American Jewish World, a local newspaper for the Jewish Community. I also serve as chair of the MJM board. &#8230;members of Shir Tikvah Congregation in South Minneapolis.</p></blockquote>
<p>The American Jewish World, who endorsed <a href="http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2006/09/015165.php" target="_blank">Keith Ellison</a>. Keith Ellison, who <a href="http://loyalopposition.wordpress.com/2011/07/20/closing-the-door/" target="_blank">supported opening supply lines</a> to the genocidal anti-Semitic <a href="http://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/hamas.asp" target="_blank">Islamic Resistance Movement</a> in Gaza?</p>
<p>Yes, <em>that</em> Keith Ellison.</p>
<p>The moderators at Minnpost wouldn&#8217;t allow a comment against Keith Ellison:</p>
<blockquote><p>If progs can forgive Barry Soetero for attending a racist, anti-Semitic church for 20 years, elect Keith Ellison with his past associations with the Nation of Islam, past ethical lapses and current associations with Islamist front groups &#8211; I don&#8217;t think Mr. Gingrichs&#8217; personal problems should be much of a problem.</p></blockquote>
<p>The excuse: &#8220;Struck us as too vague on all the Ellison stuff – past associations, past ethical lapses, current associations&#8221;.</p>
<p>They will, however, assist in perpetrating anti-Semitic libel.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am not the only one who has noticed the betrayal of the Jews by the progleft. Over at <a href="http://karmafishies.blogspot.com/2012/01/progressive-left-betrayal-of-jewish.html" target="_blank">Karmafishes&#8217; blog</a>, they understand exactly what is happening:</p>
<blockquote><p>What we are currently witnessing is the most significant geo-political development since the fall of the Soviet Union and progressives are ignoring it entirely, despite the genocidally anti-Semitic nature of this movement. Calling this development the &#8220;Arab Spring&#8221; is something akin to calling the rise of Nazi Germany the &#8220;German Spring,&#8221; about as cruel a misnomer as one can imagine.</p></blockquote>
<p>The conclusion is spot on.</p>
<blockquote><p>Today&#8217;s progressives are stretching the palm of friendship to the current iteration of Nazi ideology in the Arab world and, yet, they still expect our support? Ridiculous. It is long past time for Jews to drop this movement and see it for what it is. While claiming to stand for anti-racism and universal human rights, the progressive movement has thrown both those concepts in the garbage entirely.</p>
<p>The progressive-left stands for nothing and has sold the Jews down the river. The first thing to do now is simply acknowledge that fact.</p></blockquote>
<p>As the man said, <a href="http://karmafishies.blogspot.com/2012/01/progressive-left-betrayal-of-jewish.html" target="_blank">read it all</a>. Then go to any progleft website (Minnpost, TC Daily Planet, Minnesota Progressive Project, Common Dreams, e-Democracy, et. al.) to read the articles and the subsequent comments the moderators allow when it&#8217;s about Israel, Zionism or the Jews. Go to the Minnesota Green Party website and see their condemnations of Jewish self-defense against opening supply lines to the Islamic Resistance Movement in Gaza.</p>
<p>The progleft sympathies with crude, gutter, genocidal anti-Semitism is right there in front of you.</p>
<p>If you want a <a href="http://www.worldjewishcongress.org/en/news/11186/robert_wistrich_post_mubarak_egypt_the_dark_side_of_islamic_utopia_israel_journal_of_foreign_affairs" target="_blank">great review</a> of Springtime for Qaradawi, <a href="http://israelcfr.com/documents/6-1/6-1-3-Wistrich.pdf" target="_blank">here&#8217;s one</a> by Robert Wistrich. You will then understand why the media, the progleft, and the multicultists are completely delusional.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From the <a href="http://www.ajwnews.com/archives/12408#more-12408" target="_blank">American Jewish World</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>“Marv was the best Jew I have ever met,” Turchick concluded.</p></blockquote>
<p>Ah, yes. The Good Jew. The &#8220;Jew&#8221; who won the Hizb&#8217;Allah sympathizing (Noam) <a href="http://www.justicestudies.org/Justice-About-Awards-Chomsky.htm" target="_blank">Chomsky Award</a> from the Justice Studies Association. The Good Jew who s<a href="http://www.southsidepride.com/2006/7/articles/RachelCorrie.htm" target="_blank">ympathized with the jihadist collaborating Rachel Corrie</a>. The Good Jew who defended the <a href="http://www.citypages.com/2007-10-03/news/banning-desmond-tutu/" target="_blank">lying Desmond Tutu</a> who falsely defamed Israel as an apartheid state and compared them to Nazis. The Good Jew who was <a href="http://www.stthomas.edu/justpeace/" target="_blank">assimilated into the religion of left wing anti-Semitic ideology</a>. The good Jew <a href="http://www.startribune.com/local/minneapolis/137350833.html" target="_blank">who is going to be cremated</a>.</p>
<p>Marv Davidov was the Good Jew who undid his mitzvot from the civil rights era by adhering to left wing anti-Semites who seek the destruction of Israel and the Jews.</p>
<p>He has a lot more to answer for than most. G-d will certainly ask him.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>after opening up my big mouth for almost a decade on my own blog, at the DFL, e-Democracy, Twin Cities Indymedia, MinnPost, the Minnesota Independent, against political fanatics and culture war sociopaths. I&#8217;ll get to this when I think about in over the next few days. Or when I can translate it into something coherent.</p>
<p>I was wondering if I should call the post &#8220;Don&#8217;t piss me off, I&#8217;m a union man&#8221; or &#8220;Politics and the culture of retaliation&#8221;. How about &#8220;Political betrayal and the culture of retaliation&#8221;?</p>
<p>How about &#8220;Why am I now a Republican?</p>
<p>Eh.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you want to know the state of feminism in Minnesota, here it is. Minnesota NOW, this past November, endorsed Farheen Hakeem, a <a href="http://www.gp.org/candidates/display-pr.php?ID=5" target="_blank">past member</a> of the <a href="http://antiwarcommittee.org/in-solidarity/palestine/" target="_blank">Anti War Committee</a> and current member of the <a href="http://www.gp.org/index.php" target="_blank">Green Party</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>The Political Action Committee of the Minnesota chapter of the National Organization for Women (MN NOW PAC) proudly endorses an outstanding feminist candidate for Minnesota State Senate, <a href="http://www.farheenhakeem.org/">Farheen Hakeem</a>. “Farheen Hakeem embodies Minnesota NOW’s values and mission,” said Minnesota NOW President Shannon Drury.</p></blockquote>
<p>What are <a href="http://forums.e-democracy.org/r/post/2lKIy82MiwSv1lbYv80LWj" target="_blank">Hakeem&#8217;s values</a>? As a member of the AWC, she agreed with their belief that</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8230;Israel [is] an illegitimate apartheid state, and we stand in solidarity with the Palestinian struggle for justice and self-determination. We support the Palestinian right of return, the demand for a dismantling of Israeli settlements, an end the Israeli Occupation, and an end to racist policies in all of the territories. Our work includes protest, education, and solidarity trips to Palestine.</p></blockquote>
<p>In other words, anti-Semitic libel and the destruction of the Jewish homeland and the subsequent genocide of the Jews. This is who Minnesota NOW endorses? Yup.</p>
<p>What are <a href="http://www.gp.org/press/pr-national.php?ID=255" target="_blank">Hakeem&#8217;s values</a>?</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Farheen has been proven to be a true Green and is committed to the Ten Key Values (<a href="http://www.gp.org/tenkey.shtml">http://www.gp.org/tenkey.shtml</a>) of the Green Party,&#8221; said Green Party treasurer Jody Grage. &#8221;Among the Ten Key values, non-violence, respect for diversity and feminism are what draws a lot of Muslims to the Green Party,&#8221; said Ms. Hakeem. &#8220;The Green Party has called for divestment from Israel&#8230;.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Protest the horribly oppressive countries that murder Arabs and Muslims that surround Israel? No, replies the Green Party and Farheen Hakeem. &#8221;Kauft nicht bei Juden!&#8221; is the cry of the Green Party.</p>
<blockquote><p>Farheen Hakeem embodies Minnesota NOW’s values and mission,” said Minnesota NOW President Shannon Drury.</p></blockquote>
<p>What are the Green Party&#8217;s <a href="http://www.gp.org/press/pr-national.php?ID=321" target="_blank">values</a>?</p>
<blockquote><p>The Green Party of the United States condemns the attack by the Israeli navy on Gaza-bound humanitarian aid ships in international wates near Cyprus, which have left at least 19 human rights activists dead and at least 50 wounded.</p></blockquote>
<p>Opening supply lines to murderous anti-Semites like Hamas and denying Jews the right of self-defense.</p>
<blockquote><p>Farheen Hakeem embodies Minnesota NOW’s values and mission,” said Minnesota NOW President Shannon Drury.</p></blockquote>
<p>What are the Green Party&#8217;s <a href="http://www.gp.org/press/pr_2005_11_28.shtml" target="_blank">values</a>?</p>
<blockquote><p>The Green Party of the United States has endorsed a statement calling for a comprehensive strategy of boycott and divestment that would pressure the government of Israel to guarantee human rights for Palestinians.</p></blockquote>
<p>&#8220;Kauft nicht bei Juden!&#8221; is one of their values to force Jews to extend rights to non-citizens of Israel who seek its destruction.</p>
<blockquote><p>Farheen Hakeem embodies Minnesota NOW’s values and mission,” said Minnesota NOW President Shannon Drury.</p></blockquote>
<p>What are the Green Party&#8217;s <a href="http://www.gp.org/press/pr_2005_11_28.shtml" target="_blank">values</a>?</p>
<blockquote><p>The Green Party is already on record as supporting the right of Palestinian refugees to return to their homes and to receive compensation for their losses; immediate Israeli withdrawal from all lands acquired since 1967, including the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem (see <a href="http://news.independent.co.uk/world/middle_east/article329199.ece">news.independent.co.uk&#8230;</a>); maintenance of Jerusalem as a shared city open to people of all faiths; suspension of U.S. military and foreign aid to Israel; complete dismantling of the Israeli separation wall; and serious consideration of a single secular, democratic state as the national home of both Israelis and Palestinians. Greens have affirmed the right of self-determination for both Palestinians and Israelis.</p></blockquote>
<p>The elimination of Israel.</p>
<blockquote><p>Farheen Hakeem embodies Minnesota NOW’s values and mission,” said Minnesota NOW President Shannon Drury.</p></blockquote>
<p>Minnesota NOW endorsed a candidate from a Green Party that supports the destruction of Israel, the homeland of the Jews and the most progressive country in the Middle East. They supported a candidate who would rather see a progressive democratic state destroyed, it&#8217;s Jews, Christians, Ahmadis, Bahais massacred, to be replaced by a barbaric, oppressive shari&#8217;a state where women will be subject to a misogynist honor-shame culture.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m trying to find the words that describe my complete disgust at feminists who have betrayed the very people who supported their movement as well as the principles they claimed to uphold.</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t seem to find them.</p>
