Only a few days after Orthodox Jewish synagogues and schools were targeted by black supremacist rioters and their allies, Shais Rishon, a former Content Manager for Bend the Arc, posted a hateful image of an Orthodox Jew in a Klan hood wearing handcuffs and nooses over his Tallit surrounded by text from Jews complaining about antisemitism and violence from Black Lives Matter.
Rishon accused Jews, who had anti-Semitic slurs shouted at them, seen synagogues defaced, congregants attacked, and stores looted, of “cluck clucking” about the black supremacist riots.
The former Bend the Arc content manager had previously defended Farrakhan supporter Tamika Mallory’s slur that Jews uphold white supremacy by claiming that there is “white supremacy aplenty” in synagogues.
Shais Rishon, who goes by Ma Nishtana on social media, is a black nationalist activist who claims to have been privately ordained as a rabbi, and it was easy to see why he fit in perfectly at Bend the Arc.
Alexander Soros, on behalf of Bend the Arc: Jewish Action, a PAC he founded, had endorsed Keith Ellison, a longtime member of the Nation of Islam hate group with an even longer history of antisemitism. Bend the Arc’s CEO is Stosh Cotler is a former sex club dancer and anti-Israel activist.
Like its cousins J Street and If Not Now, Bend the Arc claims to be Jewish while violently hating Jews.
When Black Lives Matter added support for BDS to its platform, Cotler blamed the Jews. Yavilah McCoy, a Bend the Arc board member who serves as a coach for the Presbyterian Church’s Auburn Theological Seminary's Pastoral Coach Training Program, had accused Jews of white supremacy. “When Jews accepted a white identity in America, they participated in sustaining white supremacy," she ranted.
When Bend the Arc talks about defeating white supremacism, it really means defeating Jews.
When House Democrats tried to deal with their internal anti-Semitism problem, they invited Bend the Arc to send in a facilitator. That facilitator got things off on the right foot with an anti-Semitic joke.
None of that is surprising because Bend the Arc is as Jewish as a ham sandwich with cheese.
Cotler had been plucked from obscurity by a project run by “Rabbi” Rachel Cowan, a Unitarian descendant of the Mayflower, who went on to wreak havoc on the Jewish community. And considering the non-Jewish billionaires who fund it, it’s a good thing that the leftist group changed its name from Jewish Funds for Justice to its current name based on a quote from an anti-Semitic Unitarian minister.
Bend the Arc scored over $14 million from Warren Buffett’s son. Why is the son of a Presbyterian agnostic pouring a fortune into an organization that claims to be promoting Jewish issues?
The group also gets $1.5 million a year from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund. The Rockefeller clan has been accused of being many things, but being Jewish isn’t one of them. The Rockefeller Brothers Fund however does provide major funding for a spectrum of anti-Israel hate groups that back BDS. A significant amount of the funding for the infrastructure of the BDS movement comes from RBF.
The Rockefeller Brothers Fund has also given millions to the anti-Israel J Street lobby along with aggressively backing the propaganda campaign in favor of legalizing Iran’s nuclear program. One of its major recipients, the Ploughshares Fund, had aggressively campaigned for the Iran Deal. Its board members included Valerie Plame, who had tweeted an Unz site article titled, “America’s Jews are driving America’s wars”. This is the sort of gutter anti-Semitism that Bend the Arc is conjoined with.
The Rockefeller Brothers Fund had been set up by the sons of John D. Rockefeller and funded partly by him. But that’s not all he funded. Edwin Black’s War Against the Weak credited the Rockefeller Foundation with essentially providing the blueprint for the ideology utilized in the Holocaust.
As Black noted, “The Rockefeller Foundation helped found the German eugenics program and even funded the program that Josef Mengele worked in before he went to Auschwitz.” Alexis Carrel, a Rockefeller beneficiary, proposed gassing "defectives" and cheered the Nazi regime for its "energetic measures against the propagation of the defective."
Rockefeller money was used to fund an institute run by Otmar Freiherr von Verschuer who promised a "total solution to the Jewish problem." His assistant was Mengele: the Nazi regime’s Frankenstein.
As his boss later noted, Mengele was "presently employed as Hauptsturmführer and camp physician in the Auschwitz concentration camp. Anthropological testing of the most diverse racial groups in this concentration camp is being carried out with permission of the SS Reichsführer."
The Rockefellers have always been interested in diversity.
Only in the upside-down world of the progressive movement can a Nazi collaborator’s fund that helped finance the Holocaust and has gone on to champion Iran’s nuclear program, which is meant to kill millions of Jews again, be funding programming that accuses Jews of being the real white supremacists.
A Nazi collaborator’s fund is helping finance smears of Jewish people as, “white supremacists”.
If Bend the Arc’s folks want to find the real white supremacists, they can follow their own paychecks.
Bend the Arc’s big backers, the Soros clan and the Rockefeller clan, were at best complicit in the Nazi oppression of Jews. Now they’re financing black supremacist trolls who arrogantly tell Jewish people that if they don’t like their synagogues being vandalized, they’re white supremacists.
If you oppose the new Kristallnacht, you’re a Nazi.
This obscene inversion turns Jews into Nazis, and racial supremacists who quote Hitler-lover Stokely Carmichael into the new Jews. Perpetrators became victims and victims are turned into perpetrators. The police are the criminals, and the criminals are oppressed victims. Jews who don’t want their synagogues vandalized are Nazis, and anti-Jewish groups funded by Nazi collaborators are the real Jews.
Bend the Arc's Twitter account tweeted an article by Rebecca Pierce, an anti-Israel activist with JVP and If Not Now, who had accused Jews of white supremacy, in which she wrote of the riots, "property destruction becomes a symbolic tool." Much like Kristallnacht. There was a lot of symbolism there too.
The new Klan are Orthodox Jews cleaning Black Lives Matter graffiti off their synagogues.
Bend the Arc has gone on championing behavior that threatens Jews while working closely with Black Lives Matter, an anti-Semitic group that endorses BDS and whose activists have triggered attacks on Jewish establishments. Meanwhile the hate group keeps claiming that it’s Jewish and represents Jews.
As Jewish as John D. Rockefeller, George Soros, and Peter Buffett.
What would inspire Buffett’s son and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund to plow a combined $26 million into Bend the Arc? As Sean Cooper’s Bending the Jews notes, neither have a history of giving to Jewish causes. But Bend the Arc isn’t a Jewish cause. It’s a radical lefty cause that occasionally targets Jews, preying on them as useful idiots or targets for its inflexible hostility to the American way of life.
Like its counterparts, Bend the Arc has adopted the Unitarian approach of performative political religion in which community organizers function as clergy and treat political chants as inspirational prayers. The distinctions between the Quaker summer camp and Unitarian Church youth movement that Cowan née Brown credited with inspiring her and Bend the Arc is which religious tradition they’ve hollowed out.
Unlike its partner If Not Now, Bend the Arc hasn’t even bothered appropriating a Jewish expression.
Bend the Arc’s name, as its CEO Stosh Cotler noted, “comes from a sermon by a 19th century Unitarian Minister named Theodore Parker.”
Parker was a transcendentalist minister in the Unitarian Church who hated Jews.
In all fairness, Parker hated a lot of people. The Unitarian minister, whose phrase about the moral arc of the universe always bending toward justice became Obama's go-to line, was a career bigot.
The abolitionist hero was prone to saying things like, "the Irishman will always lie if it is for his momentary interest" and describing the Irish as the "N___ of the South". And while he fought vigorously for the rights of slaves, he also insisted that there was "no doubt the African race is greatly inferior."
The minister, whose sermon gave its name to Bend the Arc, reserved a special contempt for Jews, which may be because he disliked the bible, which he believed, was the work of “bigoted Jews.”
The Jewish intellect, Parker ranted in one letter, was “pinched in those narrow foreheads”. Jews are "lecherous", "incline to despotism", and "were always cruel".
"I doubt not they did sometimes kill a Christian baby at the Passover," he speculated.
That is the origin of Bend the Arc’s name. Jews are being accused of white supremacy by an organization named after a line from an actual white supremacist whose funding derives from a Nazi collaborator.
The moral arc of Bend the Arc will always bend toward antisemitism.

I have been a huge fan of yours for a long time Daniel, but how is this any different from Jews tut-tutting “fellow White people” over every imaginable racial grievance held by the brown man?
ReplyDeleteI’m curious Daniel.
I’m honestly curious.
What would you call the practice of passing as White, to all non-Jews, and pretending to lecture Whites on their own “privilege” when they don’t even recognize themselves as such?
Leftist Political Judaism, in an attempt at harming European cultural identity, has now been swept up in their own rhetoric by a foreign people and culture that see Jews as some kind of ultra-Whites, because hey, to them, we really do all look alike.
You're a huge fan of mine, but you're parroting MacDonaldesque nonsense about Jews.
DeleteLeftist Jews and Christians push the same political garbage. And yes, the people with Jewish last names who do this, eagerly confess their privilege as white people.
The issue here is the Left.
Nazi Collaborators are scum, just like slave traders, but if one of them had a statue in Bristol for 40 years and young people chucked it into the sea, millions of right wing cretins would defend the Nazi Collaborator by pointing out “he spent a lot of money on good causes” and would be annoyed/petrified that by chucking a statue into the sea, the young people are “erasing our history”.
ReplyDeleteCan a Nazi Collaborator earn/deserve a statue - that must stand forever - if he donates money to a local church/school/hospital/homeless shelter before he dies?
I’ll let the right wing academics - and right wing cretins with an opinion they imagine us worth sharing - decide exactly when it is right to pull down the statue of a filthy Nazi collaborator and when it is wrong and then once they’ve decided the rest of the world can take note and pledge to mindlessly go along with whatever the right have decided.
Nazi collaborators who raised money for good causes. - wrong for young people to pull down the statues or right? Always wrong? Always right?
Let’s hear from the “proud patriotic Christians” on this as well - where do you stand if a young woman in Bristol, U.K. decides to blow up a statue of a Nazi Collaborator who “did a lot of good stuff with his money in months leading up to his death”.
Do you think she us morally justified or a bitch who should do a long stretch in prison for destruction of public property?
Do you - any right wing cretins out there - think that by destroying a statue of a Nazi collaborator, history is somehow being erased?
Analogy: Do we need statues of The Krays all over the world so that they are not “erased from history”?
Do we need statues of the Unabomber to be placed throughout the United Kingdom so that British children never forget that Ted wotsisname exists?
My own theory is that only cretins and morons think it’s important we have statues of Bruce Willis in every town in England “so that he’s not erased from history” but then I’m no Katie Hopkins type genius so I could be wrong.
First, putting up statues is up to the local citizenry. Taking them down or putting them up is a reflection of local preferences, that's very different than mob action.
DeleteSecond, pretty much every statue of a monarch is going to be that of a monster. That's a complicated discussion about history and context. The larger question is what does going after the statues of historical figure say about the agenda of the demolishers.
That's the question hardly anyone in the pro camp asks.
Hello Daniel,
ReplyDeleteInteresting and informative as usual.
May I suggest another reason behind this?
As we both know, Jews who still honor HaShem have a special place in this world and in His divine plan. As such,they are targeted by evil many times. And unfortunately, many Jews associate themselves with this. They do it because it is easy and allows them to discard many spiritual duties and aspects of our faith, and to be 'accepted' or so they
think, by the sort of people they choose to surround themselves with, to be liked.
If we remember, even after seeing HaShem's deeds that freed the Jews of Egypt, only a small percentage of Jews actually were willing to leave with Moses and Aaron and go to freedom. The rest, depending on what your source is either stayed as slaves and simply faded into the Egyptian mass or were killed.
Another thing to think about is that a number of Egyptians went with the Jews...they were not serious about worshiping HaShem but became the Erev Rav, people considered Jews who had no allegiance to HaShem or Judaism in reality. And they have been with us ever since.
Evn now, we see many religious Jews kow towing to BLM because they feel it will protect them and make them 'liked.' They're mistaken, and will eventually find this out the hard way unless they wise up.
But as the Torah tells us, HaShem will protect those who worship Him. And again as we both know, He runs this world.
B'Shalom,
Rob Miller
I just want to say "thanks" to the author for responding to comments that many would dismiss as simply vitriolic. I'm not feeling vitrioloc today, but at least some modicum was assuaged by reading your replies. This is not meant to beg a reply, I doubt I'll check back.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Sincerely, _______
Dear Sincerely;
DeleteAstute pickup on Daniel’s style. He covers a topic
with great precision and detail, yet keeps a clinical
and objective tone. It’s for the readers to react.
Some do; with vitriol, even with shallow comprehension.
I’ve only seen Daniel answer with equanimity and to
address misunderstanding. Admirable, indeed.
Charlie
Plz contact me in relation to an anti-Semitic incident in Cleveland. Thank you.
