Conspiracy theorists on the right and left have long pointed to a "Jewish conspriacy" to take over the world. On the right, the complaint has been that Jews are socialists and communists. On the left, the complaint has been that Jews are Likudniks and neocons. The truth is that most Jews are neither communists nor Likudniks--they're just plain old folks like you trying to do whats right. This diary has to do with doing whats right in the Darfur region of western Sudan.
I've never been so proud of the so-called Jewish conspiracy, as when Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir accused Jews of being the driving force behind a solution in Darfur http://www.jpost.com/... More below
First, lets talk about Sudanese President al-Bashir. He's the man responsible for
housing Osama Bin Ladin in the early years.
http://en.wikipedia.org/... He's also responsible for
sending the Janjaweed to mass-execute Black Muslims in the Darfur region. This isn't rhetorical genocide--this is the real kind of mass exectuion of innocents in a systematic pattern.
http://www.darfurgenocide.org President al-Bashir is not the kind of guy you'd want to babysit your kids.
But upon whom does he blame internationalists wanting to help the Darfur situation? Of course--its the Jews. Mr. al-Bashir stated, "If we return to the last demonstrations in the United States, and the groups that organized the demonstrations, we find that they are all Jewish organizations..."
Do you want to know who the good guys are in Sudan? There's no need to look any further than two (non-Jewish) Dinka tribesman-turned NBA players. In a typical scandal, you follow the money. In Sudan, follow the Dinkas. And both Manute Bol and Luol Deng are strongly in favor of efforts to provide relief to Darfur. http://www.suntimes.com/... As a community, we need to strongly support their efforts. Its the liberal thing to do. And we Jewish liberals can be proud of the one time the Jewish conspiracy is blamed for something good.
