A Muslim terrorist shot a Jewish man on the way to synagogue over the Sabbath, and then battled cops while shouting, “Allahu Akbar”.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson released a statement that never mentioned Jews.
A few days before the shooting he appointed a bigot who called Jews “Nazis” and defended Hamas to head Chicago’s Board of Education.
Rev. Mitchell Ikenna Johnson, the newly appointed president of the Chicago Board of Education, has a lengthy history of posting inflammatory antisemitic, anti-Israel and pro-Hamas content on social media, according to a review of Johnson’s public and private Facebook posts following the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks last year.
How bad was Johnson’s hate? Pretty bad.
“The Nazi Germans’ ideology has been adopted by the Zionist Jews,” he posted.
In one message, he suggested Jews were not really Jews.
In another, he posted, “I am not Anti-Semitic. I am anti in Justice.”
Johnson’s posts did not just attack Israel and Jews. He routinely made clear his support for Hamas: “I have been saying this since October 2023. People have an absolute right to attack their oppressors by any means necessary!!!” he wrote in March.
Last Christmas, Johnson shared a video showing Miko Peled, an anti-Zionist writer, defending the Hamas attacks as merely prisoners breaking out of their jail.
“The single most direct video that has crossed my feed,” Johnson wrote. “I invite my once Jewish friends to respond to this video with honesty, integrity, and morality.”
“Let us go into 2024 with a commitment to change the narrative and force, yes force Israel to attone [sic] for its shameful attempt at genocide against the Palistinian [sic] people,” Johnson wrote. In another post, he shared a video of a Columbia University professor criticizing Israel: “This is why sane people must stand up and move away from supporting Israel. At present Israel is an occupying force and the world will support the oppressed.”
Later in the day, he made clear what he meant by “support[ing] the oppressed”: “I say again, stop blaming Hamas,” Johnson wrote. He did not respond to a request for comment on Wednesday.
The head of one of the biggest school districts in the country is an antisemitic racist swimming in some of the worst social media sewage imaginable.
After Oct. 7, he dispensed with civility in his posts and frequently called out his “former” Jewish friends, asking them to personally explain Israel’s actions or apologize for supporting “genocide,” often alongside false or misleading content.
“How long will the Jewish people in America stand for these crimes?” he wrote in October, atop a conspiratorial video that claimed Israel was responsible for bombing the Al Ahli Hospital in Gaza, a claim that had been debunked by American and Israeli intelligence officials who determined the rocket was actually fired by Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
On Nov. 1, a video that Johnson shared featured a caption saying that Zionists are not real Jews but actually “Luciferians” —Satan. “I would like to hear from my Jewish friend in reference to this post,” Johnson stated.
This is a story that the mainstream media will not touch. No national Democrat will condemn it.
The president of the Chicago Board of Education suggests Jews are ‘Luciferians’ and there will be awkward and uncomfortable silence.
How long until this escalates into calls for antisemitic violence in America?
One of his posts took on a threatening tone: “My Jewish colleagues appear drunk with the Israeli power and will live to see their payment. It will not be nice and I care not how and what you call me,” he wrote in December.
Doug Emhoff just performed his speech accusing Trump of antisemitism. This will be one of the legion of issues he won’t touch because it’s coming from his side.
Johnson attended a White House event billed as a “Faith leaders convening on climate, clean energy and environmental justice” in August.
