Goodbye Hymietown

“The Rev. Jesse L. Jackson, a protege of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and two-time presidential candidate who led the Civil Rights Movement for decades after the revered leader’s assassination, died Tuesday [February 17].” This is how the Associated Press announced Jackson’s death.

Jackson, Farrakhan and Hitler

Jackson had a long career as an anti-semitic agitator…er, civil rights leader. When he started his career, Hubert Humphrey was the typical Democrat, love for the United States a given, and Democrats would not think of calling for the annihilation of Israel. But he would see that that would change.

The shining and emblematic moment of Jackson's career was labeling New York City as Hymietown and helping to cement antisemitism as part and parcel of the progressive movement and mainstream Democrat dogma.

By the time Jesse “Hymietown” Jackson died New York City already had an Islamist communist mayor, was in the boycott the zionist entity camp, and it’s Hymies were second class citizens. Yes, it was a short ride from when Democrats largely supported Israel, were patriotic Americans and stood for the flag to today when Democrats stand four-square for Islamism and Hamas and accuse Israel of genocide, while they support the genocide of every Jew in Israel.

Jackson was one of the people who drove the Democrat party there. And in the time of his passing passing, all good, progressive Marxists should remember his great accomplishments.

In 1984 Jackson had a lot of support in his run for President, including that of

The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, then and now is the most important black leader.The alliance between Islamists and communists, the red–green alliance, might not have gone as smoothly if Farrakhan hadn't proclaimed that “Hitler was a very great man.” Hitler, of course, was a socialist and stealth Muslim, his views in line with today's “Democratic Socialists”.

Jesse Jackson, the Legacy

Farrakhan and Jackson campaigned together and traveled tother, to Syria for example. They maintained a united front. In 1984 Jackson would have been elected president if not for the Jews. At least that's what Jackson claimed. By that point, he had already firmly established his career on anti-semitism, blaming black poverty on the Jews, claiming that Nixon was insensitive to black needs because of the Jews.

As put by Al Jazeera, the liberal’s idea of fair, honest and prestigious journalism, “Arab-American advocates eulogize Jackson as a civil rights giant who embraced their communities and defended Palestine.”

Jackson's statements and record on Jewish matters would make that “very great man” Adolf Hitler proud. Jackson was the first American leader to embrace and legitimize the terrorist Yasser Arafat, who was responsible for the most murdered Jewish civilians since Hitler. Jackson attributed everything he considered wrong to a Jewish conspiracy. He expressed that he was he was tired of hearing about the Holocaust.

In his embrace of Arafat, Jackson glorified and legitimized the murder of Jews. Hamas could not have spectacularly succeeded on October 7, 2023 without the support of the western world. And its men like Jackson who ensured that Hamas has the support of the western world, enabling it to remain firmly in power and victorious.

According to the American Jewish Committee, 42% of Jewish college students report experiencing antisemitism. Without influential “civil rights leaders” like Jesse Jackson this situation would not have existed today. In fact, without men of his ilk college students might actually see Hamas as a terrorist organization, not valiant freedom fighters.

Jackson's consistent attacks on Israel and Jews mainstreamed opposition to the existence of Israel and mainstreamed antisemitism. He led to people like Spike Lee, who complains that because of Jewish control of Hollywood he's not allowed to make antisemitic movies, to wear a jacket glorifying the murder of Jews in order to taunt an athlete from what he views as the Zionist entity and deserving of destruction.

My grandparents were shoved into gas ovens. Hymietown Jackson bears the responsibility for perpetuating that hate.

Jonathan Tobin, editor in chief of the Jewish News Syndicate, summarizes Jackson’s Legacy accurately as “He paved the way for the illiberal rejection of the Western canon, without which such freedoms are not imaginable…he was also a forerunner of an effort to legitimize antisemitism and loathing for Israel that played a not insignificant role in helping fuel the surge of Jew-hatred that is currently raging.”

Epilogue

In a more primitive era when Democrats not only supported Israel, but some actually stooped so low as to support the United States, Jesse Jackson was a true pioneer who helped reshape a reactionary Democrat party which still clung to capitalism into the progressive social justice warrior Maoist beacon it is today. Democrats did not always believe "Hey hey, ho ho, Western culture's got to go”. It took men like Jackson to show them the light.

So Democrats, chant from river to sea, wear a keffiyeh-patterned sweater and a Palestinian flag, and burn an American flag today in the memory of Jesse “Hymietown” Jackson.
