The Anti-Defamation League and the Southern Poverty Law Center list the New Black Panthers as a black separatist hate group. The Huey Newton Foundation, former chairman and co-founder Bobby Seale, and members of the original Black Panther Party have insisted that this New Black Panther Party is illegitimate and they have strongly objected to it, stating that there "is no new Black Panther Party".
Louis Farrakhan Louis Farrakhan Sr., formerly known as Louis X, is an American religious leader and political activist who heads the Nation of Islam. Earlier in his career, he served as the minister of mosques in Boston and Harlem and was appointed National Representative of the Nation of Islam by former NOI leader Elijah Muhammad. A quote of his is: "The Jews don't like Farrakhan, so they call me Hitler. Well, that's a good name. Hitler was a very great man." In 2008, Farrakhan publicly criticized the United States and supported then-Senator Barack Obama who was campaigning at the time to become the president of the United States of America. Farrakhan and Obama had met at least once before that time, but Obama rejected his help and support.
Farrakhan has been quoted with so many anti-Semitic statements that I can't possibly get them all here, but many are listed from my source, wikipedia.
In June 1984, after returning from a visit to Libya, Farrakhan delivered a sermon that was recorded by a Chicago Sun-Times reporter. A transcript from part of the sermon was published in The New York Times:
Toward the end of that portion of his speech that was recorded, Mr. Farrakhan said: "Now that nation called Israel never has had any peace in 40 years and she will never have any peace because there can be no peace structured on injustice, thievery, lying and deceit and using the name of God to shield your dirty religion under His holy and righteous name.
Farrakhan has repeatedly denied referring to Judaism as a "gutter religion" by explaining that he was instead referring to what he believed was the Israeli Government's use of Judaism as a political tool. In a June 18, 1997, letter to a former Wall Street Journal editor Jude Wanniski he stated:
Countless times over the years I have explained that I never referred to Judaism as a gutter religion, but, clearly referred to the machinations of those who hide behind the shield of Judaism while using unjust political means to achieve their objectives. This was distilled in the New York tabloids and other media saying, 'Farrakhan calls Judaism a gutter religion.'
As a Muslim, I revere Abraham, Moses, and all the Prophets whom Allah (God) sent to the children of Israel. I believe in the scriptures brought by these Prophets and the Laws of Allah (God) as expressed in the Torah. I would never refer to the Revealed Word of Allah (God)—the basis of Jewish Faith—as 'dirty' or 'gutter.' You know, Jude, as well as I, that the Revealed Word of Allah (God) comes as a Message from Allah (God) to purify us from our evil that has divided us and caused us to fall into the gutter.
"And don't you forget, when it's God who puts you in the ovens, it's forever!" He has also claimed that German Jews financed the Holocaust in a speech at the Mosque Maryam, Chicago in March 1995: "German Jews financed Hitler right here in America...International bankers financed Hitler and poor Jews died while big Jews were at the root of what you call the Holocaust". Almost three years later at a Saviors' Day gathering in the same city, he said: "The Jews have been so bad at politics they lost half their population in the Holocaust. They thought they could trust in Hitler, and they helped him get the Third Reich on the road."
Now we have young white parties growing who are also anti-Semitic, such as the PROUD BOYS. Most likely they are made up of the least proud of the white population, having to tell themselves they are proud, being they hate everyone that is not like them.
Anti-Semitism is not core to the group’s ideology, but according to the Anti-Defamation League, the group has allied with white supremacists, and Gavin McInnes, the leader, has made a series of anti-Semitic statements. The ADL estimates that it has several hundred members, but other articles mention a thousand. A former member of the Proud Boys, Jason Kessler, was the primary organizer of the 2017 white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, which Joe Biden again criticized for its anti- Semitism during the debate. Chapters of the Proud Boys have marched with neo-Nazis on other occasions as well. Violence is at the core of their ideology and their primary tool for silencing their political foes.
Out of the Proud Boys is growing another group, even more anti-Semitic.
“We will confront the Zionist criminals who wish to destroy our civilization,” Kyle Chapman, of the Proud Boys, wrote after using a lot of bigoted language. “We recognize that the West was built by the White Race alone and we owe nothing to any other race. ”Chapman also wrote that he has renamed the group the Proud Goys, referring to the Jewish term for non-Jews that neo-Nazis have tried to appropriate and use to symbolize their anti-Semitism.
The uptick in partisan violence and anti-Jewish rhetoric these days seems to come from the left and the right. This is not to ignore the actions of neo-Nazis, Klansmen, or right-wing extremists. Anti-Semitism has never been worse today and has been compared to the late 1930's anti-Semitism.
The Alt-right are also not instigating much of the conflict marring town squares and college campuses today as they did when Trump first came into office. No, this is most often the work of progressive activists and groups, like the Antifa movement, who engage in confrontation and seek to suppress speech. And the epidemic of campus anti-Semitism is largely attributable to liberal BDS advocates, leftist faculty stooges, and Islamists – not neo-Nazis or white supremacists, who unlike progressives don’t have a symbiotic relationship with American academia.
Torch-bearing white supremacists and neo-Nazis marching in Charlottesville, VA in August 2017 shocked many with their chants of “blood and soil” and “Jews will not replace us.” Days later, white nationalist Richard Spencer was interviewed on Israeli TV about the role of the so-called “alt-right” in Charlottesville rally that turned deadly.
The demonstration was suffused with anti-black racism, but also with anti-Semitism. Marchers displayed swastikas on banners and shouted slogans like “blood and soil,” a phrase drawn from Nazi ideology. “This city is run by Jewish communists and criminal niggers,” one demonstrator told Vice News’ Elspeth Reeve during their march. As Jews prayed at a local synagogue, Congregation Beth Israel, men dressed in fatigues carrying semi-automatic rifles stood across the street, according to the temple’s president. Nazi websites posted a call to burn their building. As a precautionary measure, congregants had removed their Torah scrolls and exited through the back of the building when they were done praying.
Anti-Semitism has been going on from both the left and the right of our country, it's only that some people have just not been aware of it. The methods have often been insidious. Which party you voted in is not the source of the anti-Semitism, as it's carried by both.
Anti-Semitism is also about Israel. To slander Israel is also slandering Jews, as it is a Jewish nation, created as a haven for Jews which is almost 80% Jewish populated. It can't be covered by saying it's Israel that we want to get rid of only.
