Prominent Black Conservative Deserts Team Reality for Planet Tucker
Glenn Loury joins the anti-Semites — and betrays Africans under jihad assault
Once a voice of sanity during the racial hysterias of 2020, Glenn Loury has, since October 7, descended into the same anti-Jewish sewer as fellow former mainstream conservative Candace Owens.
Recently, Loury rushed to appear on Tucker Carlson’s podcast, now a gathering hole of the “woke right,” to complain about his recent break with the Manhattan Institute over their revulsion at his new-found willingness to believe any lie about Israel.
“The Manhattan Institute first signaled their dismay with my position on Gaza after I posted my conversation with [anti-Israel] Israeli historian Omer Bartov,” Loury wrote on his Substack.
“I could have heeded the warnings and pulled back, …[but] I would have been censoring myself for the sake of a financially beneficial arrangement,” he concluded. In other words, “No Jew bought me off!”
Since October 7, Loury — often along with John McWhorter, another formerly sane black intellectual — has accused Israel of apartheid; recommended an “Israel-Palestine Reading List” including a book by self-loathing Jew (and Holocaust denier) Norman Finkelstein and another by PLO propagandist Rashid Khalidi; agreed that Israel targets civilians; and lauded Ta-Nehisi Coates’ anti-Semitic book The Message.
Loury’s transformation follows a trend among a growing “conservative” faction which is isolationist, sympathetic sometimes to both socialism and Islam, anti-constitutional, increasingly amoral, misogynistic, and anti-Jewish.
Loury’s new friend Tucker Carlson is arguably the most visible leader of this movement — and, infamously, enjoys warm relations with the Trump family.
As the resolutely Zionist conservative movement of Ted Cruz, Mark Levin, Ben Shapiro, et al. is being matched or overtaken by these elements, there is much reason for Jews and Zionists to worry.
Other people will be upset as well. What happened to the Jews on October 7 is happening to black people in at least 11 countries in Africa, as Islamic terrorists — the ideological brethren of Hamas — storm African villages and murder innocents in the name of Allah while they rape and capture women and girls as sex slaves. Loury’s betrayal of the Jews is also — somewhat like Louis Farrakhan before him — a betrayal his black brethren.
This toxic and completely unnecessary animosity between Jews and black Americans is tragic. We formed the African Jewish Alliance to spread the truth that today, just as in the past, blacks and Jews are natural friends precisely because we have the same enemies.
Black anti-Semites have chosen to be silent about the jihad across Africa in order to pounce on the Jews. For shame!
