Anti-Israel Leftist Cited by Anti-Semitic Killer Mocked Idea that American Jews are At Risk
By Daniel Greenfield On April 14, 2014
Leftist Anti-Israel journalist Max Blumenthal, who is affiliated with The Nation, ridiculed the idea that American Jews are an at risk population.
Blumenthal, whose attacks on Israel and Jews were described as anti-Semitic even by many on the left, and whose work was allegedly cited by the Kansas City killer and has been mentioned hundreds of times on Neo-Nazi forums such as Stormfront and VNN, found the idea that the Jews he was putting at risk would need special security to be ridiculous.
But in fact, despite the constant clamor of a mythical Islamophobia, American Jews are far more likely to be at risk than Muslims.
Anti-Israel and anti-Semitic demagogues like Max Blumenthal spread hate toward Jews around the world and then mock the idea that the people they target will be attacked by some of their readers and viewers.
It’s time to seriously examine the intersection between Neo-Nazi groups and the left’s New Anti-Semitism characterized by hatemongers like Max Blumenthal.
It’s time for The Nation and other outlets that publish hatemongers like Blumenthal to do some serious soul-searching about their role in the killings.

Kansas City Anti-Semitic Shooter Inspired by Leftist Anti-Israel Demagogue Max Blumenthal

I hope Max Blumenthal is very proud today. He finally achieved his great dream. Inspiring the murder of Jews. It’s what his hatefilled work, that even those on the left have disavowed, has been leading to.
Frazier Glenn Miller was identified Sunday afternoon by the Southern Poverty Law Center as the gunman who killed three people in an attack on two Jewish sites in Overland Park, Kansas. According to SPLC’s file on Miller, who was arrested under the alias Glenn Frazier Cross, he has been involved in white supremacist movements since the later 1970s, mostly ads a “grand dragon” in the Ku Klux Klan.
As Ron Radosh points out, Miller wasn’t just inspired by the KKK, but also cited the work of leftist anti-Israel activist Max Blumenthal.
A quick look at some of the antisemitic extremist websites has led to the following post by Mr. Miller, reproduced verbatim below:
Israel Forming Super PAC to Attack Paul & Obama
This is some big dookee, yaw’ll.

Jew journalist Max Blumenthal exposes and explains this attempt by a foreign government Israel, to buy the presidential election for the neo-con, war-mongering republican establishment.
The Ron Paul fan site is since defunct, but it appears to refer to a Blumenthal interview on Putin’s propaganda channel RT, which he has since defended, in which he claimed that Netanyahu was targeting Ron Paul and Obama.
Blumenthal is unsurprisingly fairly popular on the Ron Paul sites and there are 382 results for him on the Neo-Nazi VNN forum that the Kansas City killer patronized.
Neo-Nazis have found Max Blumenthal’s left-wing anti-semitism quite useful and VNN’s forums follow Blumenthal’s career. Blumenthal is likewise popular on Stormfront with over 100 mentions.
After these shootings, it’s time for The Nation’s Katrina vanden Heuvel to take some responsibility for promoting the culture of hate spread by Max Blumenthal and its role in the Kansas City murders. |
