Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz has had his share of battles against antisemitism in his five decades defending civil liberties and human rights. His penchant for finding the heart of an issue and simplifying it to its core has made him a popular figure to follow on social media, particularly in the fight against antisemitism.
A recent article on JPost questions why former president Bill Clinton shared a stage with Louis Farrakhan. He wondered what the media reaction would have been had President Trump shared a stage with David Duke. It’s a good question, though one that’s easy to answer.
Trump would have been demolished by the press while Clinton was ignored.
Why did the Clintons share a stage with Farrakhan?
There is no place for a double standard when it comes to antisemitism. Black antisemitism should not get a pass account of the oppression suffered by so many black people. Neither should “progressive” tolerance of antisemitism of the kind shown by Bernie Sanders’s support for Jeremy Corbyn, the antisemite who heads the British Labour Party and may well become the next prime minister of America’s closest ally.
It isn’t the passionate support of the limited hardcore followers of people like Farrakhan or Duke that generates as man problems as the lukewarm, “wink wink” support of their less-enthusiastic supporters. Those who make excuses for bigots to make them appear not-quite-so-bad give license to others to explore and embrace racist ideologies. By sharing a stage with Farrakhan instead of speaking out about him, Clinton gave his unofficial approval to the antisemite.
There are not “good people” on the side of antisemitism any more than there are “good people” on the side of white supremacy.https://t.co/vX8oh6u87q

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our new GiveSendGo. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Truth Based Media
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
