How NOT To Show You Aren’t An Antisemite, by Alice Walker

Alice Walker has responded to criticism of her (again) recommending antisemite David Icke’s book And the Truth Shall Set You Free. Her response should serve as a primer on what NOT to say if you want to convince people you aren’t a Jew hater.

“David Icke is not antisemitic or anti-Jewish”

I was asked, in writing, by the NYTs BY THE BOOK “What is on your nightstand?” I replied with the titles of the pile of books that were currently on mine; all of them in some state of read, to read, or unread. David Icke’s book, And the Truth Shall Set You Free was among them. I find Icke’s work to be very important to humanity’s conversation, especially at this time. I do not believe he is anti-Semitic or anti-Jewish. I do believe he is brave enough to ask the questions others fear to ask, and to speak his own understanding of the truth wherever it might lead.

Umm..

“I once tried to read Mein Kampf but couldn’t get through it..too boring”

But apparently all that Jew hatred wasn’t a turnoff.

I read everything. I even tried once to read Mein Kampf but found it too steeped in German history to make sense. It also seemed pedantic and boring. But after hearing so much about it, I wanted to know what it said for myself.

“I will compare Mein Kampf to the Talmud and Bible”

I’ve also taken a crack at the Koran. I’m not equating these two, simply noting that many people encounter them both with dread. Suppose these books had been in the pile of books on my nightstand? Was I to be so fearful of what people thought that I would deny I was attempting to read them? The same is true of reading the Talmud, or the Bible, for that matter. Some parts of both are extremely problematic, and contain programming – about how to live, think, behave – that has caused us more grief than we, poor beaten down humans, for the most part, deserve.

Alice Walker, I have a recommendation for you: quit digging yourself a deeper hole and embrace your Jew hatred.
