Rahm Emanuel: Anti-Zionism Carries a Tone and a Permission Slip for Anti-Semitism

RUSH EXCERPT:

EMANUEL: “Look, you know, a long time ago, as I‘ve said this before, I said it in 92nd street y. Caitlin, we used to have, you know, people would chant, the Jews will not replace us. And then a car drives in and kills people in an act of violence. Then you had what happened at the tree of life. And then you have these incidents. And the actual truth is, when we called out a lot of voices, you‘re saying it‘s anti-zionism, but it‘s actually mutating and evolving into anti-Semitism, and that‘s how you‘re getting the goods through customs. And then people like in this situation, like last week, like at the tree of life act on that anti-Semitism and what‘s now you have had. I‘ve gone back and talked to the ADL and going through the statistics in the last five of the last six years, you have set a new record for anti-Semitic acts. Jews are 3% of the population, but over two thirds of the acts of hate crimes associated with religion and what as somebody who has studied this, what is steps out when you look at Jewish history, usually the rise in anti-Semitism is associated with bad financial economic situations.”
