[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]P.S. I just checked Trayon's twitter. Not a WORD about the antisemite who spoke at the "support Trayon" rally! And he has been asked to comment and has refused. Thus, he has condoned the Farrkhan speaker's remarks - both the anti-Jew attack on Silverman and the "Jews are termites" vomit.

Now it almost seems that he's showing the Jews that he can get away with anything and is rubbing their faces in it. That's why this should have been nipped in the bud. You guys who defended his actions last week gave him the proverbial "inch" - and so he took a mile. And so did others, as the tone was set.

I am as appalled by this as you are! I think you are the OP, and I am a PP who has responded a couple of times. I am also surprised this thread hasn't blown up with outrage. I think it might be the timing as it is the weekend and folks are distracted.  I'm sure the council members all hope this will go away by Monday.  I feel terrible for Silverman and wonder how she will move forward under this blatant hate talk. [/quote]
Yes, I'm the OP you're responding to.

And true what you say about the council members hoping it will go away by Monday, but that right there shows the problem. When horrific anti-Jew venom is spilled, the hope seems to be that it will blow over after a couple of days - and that's an awful message to communicate. They are basically saying that no action will be taken when blatant antisemitism is revealed by one of their members, with the hope that the Jews will "settle down" after 48 hours or so.

I too feel sorry for Silverman. The only appropriate responses are to 1) fire Lopez, 2) issue a scathing censure to White and call for his resignation, 3) sever all ties with the Farrkhan cult (they're as bad as neo-Nazis on the conservative side), and 4) issue a heartfelt apology to the Jewish people.[/quote]
