A power struggle is tearing apart a right-wing vigilante group that once served as the stander bearer of Jewish militancy in America. The Jewish Defense League, founded in 1968 by late militant rabbi Meir Kahane, has been in a virtual tailspin since 2001, according to experts who monitor extremist groups. It was then that Irv Rubin, the group's national chairman and Kahane's handpicked successor, was arrested in Southern California by federal authorities in connection with a plot to kill Arabs, including a local congressman. Rubin died � in what authorities called a suicide � just four days before preliminary hearings on his case were slated to begin.

Could you explain why this is not supposed to be known about here in the US? We have all kinds of hate groups in America because you have the freedom to believe whatever you want. But when those thoughts are acted on, then you get in trouble just like this guy did. What is so special about this case? Because it involved jews?

Just so you know, not everyone in America loves the jews. You don't know how many times I've heard the phrase "don't jew me" as in don't screw me over or steal from me. Just because they have influence for some reason over our politicians doesn't mean a lot of Americans like them and want anything to do with a jew.

Assalamu Alaikum:

It is SO important to note that many Jewish leaders and scholars speak out against Zionism and hatred of any type. To hate jewish people unconditionally is the same as people hating Muslims or Arabs unconditionally.

One of the most otuspoken and active groups against the genocoide in the Sudan is a Jewish based organization. They are standing up and spending lots of time and resources trying to save Muslims. I have posted their information here.

There is a huge organization called Jews Against the Occupation who work diligently against the occupation in Phalesteen. They do this despite being called traitors and often at risk of their own lives. How many of us can say the same?    http://www.jatonyc.org/ - http://www.jatonyc.org/

There are people of all religions who are good and just people just as there are people of all religions who are evil and corrupt. Blind prejudice is just as ugly whether you are the victim or the perpetrator.
