  • Paris Hilton Receives Death Threats from Anti-Semite Who Thinks She is Jewish

    Paris Hilton has been receiving death threats from a crazed anti-Semite who apparently thinks she is Jewish, according to TMZ.

    Paris Hilton’s father, Rick Hilton, has apparently also been allegedly named in the man’s Facebook posts. In fact, he seems to be trying to communicate with Rick Hilton, sending threats against Paris.

    While the man’s name has not yet been released, TMZ reports that police know who he is and will make an arrest once they have confirmation from Facebook and Twitter of account ownership.

    Some of the guy’s posts include things like:

    “one month and she’s dead, she’s never coming home.”

    “Invite [Paris] to the match so we can gang raper her ass hahahahahaha.”

    “I’ll beat u and that bitch to unconscious.”

    “KILL JEWS FOR FUN,”

    “I know ur Jew family gives nothing”

    Of course, the joke of all this — if it can be laughed about — is that the Hilton’s are not Jews. Conrad Hilton, founder of the Hilton Hotel empire, was born in the United States to a father from Norway and a mother of German Catholic descent. He grew up Catholic, and autobiography, Be My Guest, credits his Catholic faith with giving him his philanthropic outlook on life and wealth.

    The Hilton Foundation alone gives millions every year. According to the Foundation website:

    “In 2013, the Hilton Foundation awarded $92 million to organizations working to improve the lives of disadvantaged and vulnerable people throughout the world.”

    This stands in sharp contrast with the threats against the Hiltons as ‘Jews who give nothing.’

  • Meryl Streep Calls Walt Disney A “Gender Bigot”

    Meryl Streep Calls Walt Disney A “Gender Bigot”

    On Tuesday, when Meryl Streep got on stage at the National Board of Review Awards Gala, the audience was probably expecting a thoughtful, short, congratulatory speech. She was presenting actress Emma Thompson an award for her role in the movie “Saving Mr. Banks”. Streep read a beautiful poem to honor her friend, but she also took a few minutes to blast American business magnate and animator, Walt Disney, calling him an “anti-Semite” and a “gender bigot”.

    Some in the audience were a bit taken aback when she described the man as having “racist proclivities”. According to the LA Times, Streep described Disney as a man born in his time, and was also part of an anti-Semitic, anti-communist group that consisted of big names such as Ronald Reagan, John Wayne, Clark Gable and others. The group was officially known as the “Motion Picture Alliance for the Preservation of American Ideals”.

    In her rebuke of Disney, Streep also quoted late Disney animator Ward Kimball by saying “Disney didn’t trust women or cats.”

    Disney biographer Neal Gabler concluded that “He (Walt Disney) willingly allied himself with people who were anti-Semitic, and that reputation stuck. He was never really able to expunge it throughout his life.”

    On Thursday, Today.com highlighted a tweet by the Walt Disney Museum, an organization dedicated to the animator. The tweet fires back at Streep by linking to an insightful blog post by former Disney animator turned blogger, Floyd Norman.

    Norman entitles his blog “Sophie’s Poor Choice”, referencing a film for which Streep won a Best Actress Oscar in 1982. In his blog post, Norman acknowledges that women in the 30’s and the 40’s weren’t provided with equal employment opportunities as men but that by the 50’s that inequality had diminished greatly. However, he also pointed out that talented women were employed at Disney and that some of the women who worked there told him “they’d never had a better job”. He also mentions that there were Jewish and African-American workers too, and that Disney recognized that talent had no color or ethnicity.

  • Dieudonne M’bala M’bala: Ban Over Anti-Semitism?

    Interior Minister Manuel Valls said Friday that France is considering banning a comedian who has made a living repeatedly bashing the memory of Holocaust victims. Dieudonne M’bala M’bala has been fined numerous times for hate speech. At one point, he even ran for a seat in Parliament under the banner of the “Anti-Zionist List”, a party with far-right connections.

    Valls admits to looking at legal ways to bring about an end to M’bala M’bala’s behavior as a result of complaints from the Jewish community as well as a sense that the comedian has simply gone too far.

    “Dieudonne M’bala M’bala doesn’t seem to recognize any limits any more. From one comment to the next, as he has shown in several television shows, he attacks the memory of Holocaust victims in an obvious and unbearable way.”

    France is seeing an emigration of Jews to Israel and beyond as the country has seen a rise in Anti-Semitic violence. The fact is that many Jewish citizens no longer feel safe.

    Meanwhile, M’bala M’bala has not been silent about the criticism aimed at him by members of the French Jewish community. He fired back at prominent Jewish figures, threatening a lawsuit over a claim that his gesture is anyway similar to the saluting of Adolf Hitler. His now infamous gesture is something he says stands for his anti-establishment and anti-Zionist views. He says that his physical expression is simply not Anti-Semitic.

    Roger Cukierman, head of the CRIF umbrella group of Jewish organizations, is not convinced.

    “It’s the Nazi salute in reverse. Very clearly, Mr Dieudonne is developing a nearly professional anti-Semitism under the cover of telling jokes.”

    M’bala M’bala is openly critical of Jewish policies as they relate to Palestine. Despite originally participating in left-wing anti-racist politics, his opinions and performances have become increasingly negative towards Jews, leading to numerous fines.

    If Interior Minister Manuel Valls has his way, he’ll be bringing down the curtain on Dieudonne M’bala M’bala once and for all.

  • Anti-Semitic Elmo Gets Jail Sentence

    Today’s letter of the day is “J” for “Jail,” though the recently sentenced Elmo might think it’s for another word.

    The homeless man who dressed up as Elmo in Times Square and went on an anti-Semitic rant last year, and was then arrested for extorting the Girl Scouts, has received his jail sentence.

    On Wednesday, Dan Sandler, also known as Adam Sandler (please, don’t confuse him with the actor/comedian), was sentenced to one year in prison for extortion. Sandler had tried to extort two Girl Scout leaders for $2 million.

    The two Girl Scout leaders once employed Sandler, He told the women via harassing messages that if they didn’t give him $2 million he would spread false rumors about Girl Scouts of America. He also sent semi-nude photos of himself to one of the women.

    In one email he sent he said, “I will show up at Girl Scout functions and other places that parents and kids congregate and hold signs, connecting the Girl Scouts with the Cambodian Rape Camp man.”

    After pleading guilty to reduce his charges of second-degree attempted grand larceny and third-degree stalking, Sandler received the one year sentence. Even with the sentence, Sandler didn’t feel sorry for what he did. He told Judge Robert Stolz, “I accept the fact I committed a crime, but I’m not in anyway sorry to the Girl Scouts organization.This is not the case of someone in the back room of the office trying to embezzle money – This is more of a protest, like laying down in an intersection.”

    Sandler has already spent time in jail, seeing as how he’s been there since he grabbed a child while panhandling in San Francisco.

    According to defense attorney Lori Cohen, Sandler could be out as early as January.

    So come January, hide yo kids, especially if you’re Jewish or connected to the Girl Scouts.
