So now the Jew-haters, and the black establishment are going at it.
Get out the popcorn.
It started when a tony, privileged, much-praised and feted Palestinian elite commentator took a trip to the gutter and declared the top black congressional Democrat, Hakeem Jeffries of New York, a ‘monkey,’ who takes his marching orders from Israel (read: Jews). Suddenly the glamour-shot journalist was talking like a troglodyte Ku Klux Klansman.

According to Fox News:
“His name is Hakeem. ‘Hakeem’ is an Arabic name which means ‘healer.’ He’s not a healer, he’s a divider,” Jebreal said.”He is a bought and paid by AIPAC monkey,” she added. “With all due respect — and I don’t mean it in a racist way.” Jebreal continued, “He is just basically an errand boy, and we’re done and tired.”
Immediately following Jebreal’s comments, host Ali sought to clarify the meaning behind her remarks.
“I know you corrected yourself, Rula, but I just want to address it,” Ali said. “Using monkey to anyone Black, it has terrible racial connotations. But I think you caught yourself and said you didn’t mean it with any racial animosity.”
“I didn’t,” Jebreal replied. “There’s these three monkeys — one, I cannot hear, I cannot see, I cannot speak. It reminds me of these three monkeys.”
What a ridiculous explanation, no doubt made up on the fly. Jebreal was deliberate as heck in her remarks, as the Fox video reveals, yet also knows the Western world’s disdain for racism which explains her preposterous U-Turn, and silly claim that she didn’t mean it in a ‘racist way.’ She later apologized but it was obvious what she said the first time.
She’s even reportedly been called a monkey herself when she was a talking head on Italy’s elite news shows.
She nevertheless went the way of the Klan and let it all hang out as to what she really thought, because she couldn’t stop herself on the AIPAC-hate, or in reality, Jew-hate, which she has written about for years, with the same kind of hate we saw in Los Angeles a couple years ago, by pro-Palestine maniacs who threw smoke bombs and spattered red paint at the home of Michael Tuchin, AIPAC’s top lobbyist, in Brentwood, California.
Seems ‘AIPAC’ is their code word whenever they want to spew Jew-hate against anyone who is either Jewish or might support Israel.
Racist contempt for blacks from pro-Palestinian extremists, even in Israel is a thing.
Jebreal, who comes from a lot of places other than Israel but managed through her mother to be raised in Jerusalem before moving on to Italy, is obviously familiar with it.
According to this account from HonestReporting:
Slavery is the extreme. The everyday version is everywhere, and it includes the Palestinian society that the Western left has spent two years holding up as the moral center of the world.

In Gaza City, in the al-Jalaa district, there is a neighborhood called Harat al-Abeed. It translates as the neighborhood of the slaves. It is poor. It is still called that. Nobody has renamed it, and nobody has seriously tried.
The people who live there have described their lives to journalists on the rare occasions anyone has asked. A young man named Mohammad Obaid told Gulf News that he had to “prove myself twice as much as others,” that Black Gazans are kept out of jobs where they would be seen by customers, and that when a Black man wants to marry a lighter-skinned woman, her family’s answer can be public humiliation. He described a groom’s father threatening to disown his son in the newspapers over such a match. A Black woman marrying a lighter-skinned Palestinian man is rarer still. He said he was the one passenger pulled aside at checkpoints run by his own people, and he wrote a poem about it. Its title was “Blacks are not security suspects.”
In Jerusalem’s Old City there is an African Quarter too, by the Bab al-Majlis gate, where Afro-Palestinians have lived for generations. Its residents have told the same story for decades: that in the street they are called abeed, slaves, and that their neighborhood is known to other Palestinians as “the slaves’ prison.”
And it is not only Palestinians. Every Ramadan, Arab television networks broadcast comedies in which Arab actors perform in blackface, with padded lips and exaggerated accents, playing Black characters, usually Sudanese, as servants and fools.
I know there are black Gazans — I first learned about it from this infamous picture, and it’s not a nice one. Obviously, they were some of the perpetrators of Oct. 7, and at the same time are treated with racism by the Hamas-ruled Gazans.
In any case, the Congressional Black Caucus is up in arms, calling out her racism, even though the pair of them are supposed to be allies:
To be clear, there isn’t a non-racist way to call Leader Jeffries—a Black man—a “monkey” or “errand boy.”@WajahatAli, this is what happens when we hold ourselves to such low standards for what’s allowable in our discourse—people get comfortable being openly bigoted.

Maybe they can try to make better quality friends than from the cause that champions racism and calls them monkeys.
I’m glad they responded with umbrage, but maybe they ought to distance themselves from the lunatic left, which includes these Palestinian fanatics. It would even do them some good: Black voters in Michigan apparently can’t stand another Islamist fanatic, Abdul El-Sayed, who is running for the Senate in Michigan. El-Sayed reportedly drew only 21 percent of Black voters in the Democratic primary, from among Michigans 1.4 million black voters. They say they’re taken for granted by these third-world elites who champion Palestine, viewing them as invisible. Or they just know a racist when they see one.
The rest of us don’t have a dog in this fight, so they can just hash it out among themselves, and if the black contingent is smart, distance themselves from the Palestinian elites. But don’t hold your breath. Just get out the popcorn.
