CHOMSKY’S CHUM’S Local Professor Honors Those who hate America

Dearborn Press & Guide 8/9/06, reported Sharona Shapiro’s despair over the rhetoric used at a protest/rally the Dearborn march and rally with an estimated 10,000 other protesters.

"I walked away feeling great despair," she said and her feelings were based upon the rhetoric used at the rally as well as the strong language displayed on the signs. One of the signs Shapiro said, read "Israel Nazi Are the Same Thing." – Some with Nazi symbols or equating President George W. Bush to Adolf Hitler.

Shapiro said she found it insulting that the organizers of the rally brought in two people from an anti-Zionist group to represent the Jewish community. Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss, a spokesperson for Neturei Karta International-Jews against Zionism was one of the attendees. He also attended a press briefing at the Lebanese American Heritage Club that week wearing an Israeli flag with a slash through it.

Shapiro decided to attend the rally as part of her ongoing work to promote relationships between different religious groups.

Shapiro said she thinks the Arabic community should be doing all they can to build up the Lebanese government because, as she points out, Hezbollah does not just call for "death to Israel," but also for "death to America."

Here is a response from Dr. Nabeel Abraham, HFCC. It doesn’t actually address the complaints of Ms. Shapiro, but uses her words to spread more propaganda on a wide variety of subjects.

“ One has to turn to the alternative press to discover that leading intellectuals and writers, many Jewish, issued an open letter blaming Israel for escalating the conflict in the Middle East as part and parcel of a sinister policy of eliminating the Palestinian nation, the real crux of the Middle East conflict. Among the letter’s signatories are Nobel Prize winner, Harold Pinter, Nobel Prize laureate Jose’ Saramago, American authors Russell Banks and Gore Vidal, and world famous linguist and philosopher Noam Chomsky”.

You really have to pity Ms. Shapiro and welcome her to Dearborn at the same time. I don’t know how she missed the signs as she entered the city. – PROCEED WITH CAUTION: HISTORY UNDER CONSTRUCTION – by unidentified element. .The propaganda was a little disordered and contradictory . How do you explain this:

Hate Bush + Love Hitler = Dead Jews but, BUSH = HITLER? You can rewrite history but, not this fast. Try again.

Why bring this up now? It is several weeks in the past. Well, I though of Ms Shapiro and her indignation when American’s reacted similarly last week to Hugo Chavez. I recalled a “Be OUR GUEST” editorial by Dearborn’s own HFCC professor Nabeel Abraham. He shares Mr. Chavez’s opinion of great American philosopher’s. In case you are not familiar with Chomsky – He is just an everyday American hero – saving us all from proletarian sin and imperial greed.

The visual picture of Chavez clutching Chomsky’s book reminded me of Mr. Abraham who wields “Chomsky speak” as a weapon of mass distraction. It is used only on special occasions when the spotlight hits Islamic ugliness and there is no where for it to hide. This is curious behavior for well educated agnostic intellectuals. Is it possible he is not as irreligious as he purports?

If you found yourself shocked by Chavez’s boldness you can empathize with Ms. Shapiro. But, don’t dismiss him as a half cracked nut. His views are very similar to the views of Abraham al HFCC professor and many Islamic leaders who seem to live in an alternate universe where history has been rewritten to accommodate their religious and political agendas. Ms. Shapiro was shocked but, she should not have been.

Where do our fellow citizens get all this information? Have you seen the number of satellite dishes in East Dearborn? Within the last 10 years there has been a re-Islamization of our town toward a more fundamental Islamic principle. It has drastically inhibited the ability of local Muslims to assimilate. Several years ago a group of Lebanese Shites were denouncing Hezbollah because it took over southern Lebanon and citizens were forced to leave. Now, a few satellite dishes and one very large mosque later we discover Hezbollah is really a social services organization. It is not a threat to anyone. If you want to see what the long term effects will be, look at Europe. I believe that unless our fellow Muslim citizens realize the demands being placed on them by Islamic leaders are not about the individual but for a political agenda, we will see more and more of a divide and increased hostility in our own community and all over the U.S.

We all need to be critically evaluating what is said. There are many inconsistencies and a hidden agenda. Allies in strange places are working toward a movement of rallying the masses against America. I value many things about the country I live in. I believe individual rights and freedom of speech are worth going to war over.

The war of words – they are rallying the masses by satellite TV. It is the only way they can rationalize the horrific behavior of jihad and terrorism. It’s a propaganda war and the only way to win is by defeat. If 10,000rally/protesters were out and shouting Israel is evil, Israel apartheid, we might think there is some truth to it. People believe the lies of Chavez, Chomsky, and local anti-Amerikan movements. So if while watching any of the Hugo Chavez press coverage you laughed – beware he is closer than you think.
