An undercover video of a departing National Public Radio fundraising executive shows him nodding in agreement as men posing as representatives of a Muslim Brotherhood front group rip Jewish control of the media.
Eventually, the President of the NPR Foundation and VP for development, Ron Schiller chimes in, saying that Zionist influence doesn’t exist at NPR, but “it’s there in those who own newspapers obviously.”
The video also shows Schiller ripping Tea Parties, evangelical Christians, and Americans in general for being stupid. He also says NPR would be better off in the long run without federal funding.
The video was put together by James O’Keefe of the ACORN sting fame. It was announced yesterday that Schiller was leaving NPR for the Aspen Institute.
It’s pretty disheartening how socially acceptable anti-Semitism has become among intellectuals as long as it’s cloaked as criticism of Israel. This is something that Jewish conservatives have warned about for a long time, but our warnings are dismissed as an effort to silence legitimate criticism.
Imagine if some white Southerners saying they were representatives of the KKK started complaining about black influence — would NPR execs even meet with them, let alone nod and smile and say, “Well, the black influence is more prevalent elsewhere”?
VIDEO: The discussion of the Jews starts around the 7 minute mark
#1 Sorry, you’re not thinking clearly. I often say certain religions are false (As Maimonides has said), does that make The Rambam and myself ‘racist?’ Racism is: hatred of a race which would be evil to believe because HaShem made the races. In effect, you’re hating G-d. Great video. Brilliant, hilarious, sad, etc. ‘Esav hates Jacob.’ Esav is either jealous of Jacob or doesn’t want to believe in The Creator. Just look at the foolish and silly academic world. In Israel Prog. Avital was fired for criticizing evolution, calling it a religion and questioning global warming. Tell me, all this… Read more »
Constructive kavanah and suggestion – continue to spread the word.
Not everyone is racist. Jews comprise all races, so to be racist would be really foolish. What you need to do is to find a mitzva and work on it with other Jews, that will help bridge the gaps. If this doesn’t seem to work, then do some self-reflection on how we are one at our source.
NATIONAL PEOPLE’S RADIO.
Hachodesh asher nehepach
its so low class
the guys nod was more to appease and not appear to disagree w the speaker….no real news here, moving on.
Let’s look beneath the “apparant”/under the surface… In the bigger context, why was an undercover video being made? … Suspicious intentions of the person who premeditated the filming. Also, it’s no secrect – everyone’s racist. Even among ourselves… I’ve personally heard people of one observance speak against those of another observance, for example.
