[Order Michael Finch’s new book, A Time to Stand: HERE. Prof. Jason Hill calls it “an aesthetic and political tour de force.”]
Van Jones, the CNN host and commentator, recently complained that neither the global left nor the mainstream media are covering the horrific violence against Nigerian civilians by Islamic terrorists.
True, they are not reporting the slaughter.
Truer still, they should be.
However, Van Jones went completely off the rails when he blamed “the Jews.”
Or as he put it, “No Jews, no news”–a stereotyped statement as antisemitic as it is untrue.
In truth, lots of mass violence worldwide is ignored.
Unlike President Donald Trump, neither the left nor the mainstream media cared much for the recent mass ethnic cleansing of Armenian Christians from Nagorno-Karabakh — more than 120,000 — by Azerbaijani Muslims.
Nor did they report much on the dangerous May 2025 “mini” war between nuclear Pakistan and nuclear India, prompted by a mass killing by Pakistani terrorists.
They mostly ignored mass evacuations, terrorist acts, and ethnic cleansings had nothing to do with Jones’s absurd idea of “no Jews, no news.”
Nor were they neglected because of the color of the dead.
The West snored all through the 1990s when Russia obliterated Chechnya and left Grozny completely flattened.
Why then so much more attention to the Middle East conflicts, and for that matter, the Ukraine War?
The Middle East is the historic and volatile nexus of three continents: Europe, Asia, and Africa.
Choke points, like the Straits of Hormuz, Suez Canal, and Bosphorus, are critical to the global economy.
The region is the birthplace of three global religions–Islam, Christianity, and Judaism. Religious wars there have incited world attention continuously, from well before and after the Crusades.
The Middle East proved a critical front in both World Wars. During the Cold War, the U.S. and the Soviet Union in 1973 neared a nuclear showdown over a proxy war.
Over 40 percent of the world’s daily oil leaves the Middle East.
It is the birthplace of the terrorists of Al-Qaeda, ISIS, Islamic Jihad, Hamas, the Palestinian Liberation Organization, and Hezbollah. Over the decades, they have collectively killed thousands of Americans.
To the degree the media now fixates on Israel, it is likely because of fear of an exchange between wannabe nuclear Iran and Israel, in such a historic, oil-rich, and geostrategically contested area. Or better, we might fault ancient antisemitism, which explains why the majority of condemnatory UN resolutions have fixated on tiny Israel.
Moreover, Europe has learned that any violence in the Middle East quickly translates to widespread terrorism and mass violence on its own streets by its growing and restive Islamic minorities.
As far as media attention on the Ukraine war, it marks the first proxy conflict between nuclear Russia and the nuclear West, in which one side is directly involved in the fighting, on Russia’s own border and at the doorstep of Europe.
The war is the greatest bloodbath in Europe since 1945, exceeding battles at the Somme, Verdun, and Stalingrad in both duration and body count.
As for the horror in Nigeria, the only time when the left and the mainstream media really covered violence in Africa was during the unrest of the 1980s in apartheid South Africa, when it was a daily news story.
Then the Western media focused only on white Afrikaner-on-black violence.
In contrast, there is plenty of black-on-white violence today in South Africa, whose cities are statistically among the most dangerous in the world.
But the media and the world have mostly ignored the failures of a post-Mandela and increasingly racist and violent South Africa.
It is also lamentable that the left and the media do not talk much about the 12,000 murders per year of black Americans, mostly by black males.
Instead, it focuses far more on rare white-on-black iconic deaths that the left sees as politically useful, such as those of Michael Brown, George Floyd, and Trayvon Martin.
To the degree that the media reacts to particular pressures at home, domestic constituencies play some role.
Meteoric rises in the U.S. Islamic population and foreign students from the Middle East have made the Gaza “genocide” front and center in popular culture and the news, and far more covered by the media than October 7 itself.
If Jones wishes proper attention to the Nigerian catastrophe, he might better explain why American blacks have not commensurately pressured the left to publicize the slaughter of innocent Nigerians by Islamist terror gangs.
The reason is not “the Jews,” but more likely the nature of the killers.
The mass deaths in Africa are not due to affluent white “colonial settlers,” but to radical black Islamic terrorists.
Moreover, the protocols of diversity/equity/inclusion have strangely cast radical Islam as a shared victim in the binary of victimized/victimizers.
In sum, black Islamic terrorists who commit mass murder are often immune from left-wing and media censure, and thus their innocent black victims are mostly forgotten as well.
I’m guessing the attention to Israel and Ukraine has to do with the billions upon billions of our tax dollars going to those countries.
But yes, the black Islamist’s aren’t just killing other Nigerians. They are killing Christian Nigerians, specifically. Slavery still goes today in black Africa in places like Nigeria, Sudan, Mauritania, etc. Just like the media ignores those atrocities they ignore the 85% black on white interracial crime in this country.
So the electronic prowess of Israel combined with the engineering and manufacturing prowess of the US have given both countries the most sophisticated weapons in the world. Israel invented the modern cellphone. She invented the Intel Core i3, i5 and i7 chip. The money coming from the US is the best spent. Besides Israel is the size of NJ and has only 8 million Jewish citizens and 1 million Muslim and 1 million Christian citizens.
The Quran, the bible of Islam says in order for the messiah to come, the 12th Mahdi (not Jesus), all religions of the world must convert to Islam or die. The world must fall under Sharia law.
Yes… we couldn’t watch any BLM media reports without seeing satanic worshiping muslims in the mix… even being speakers at protests…
Naturally… the same with the (Fake) Palestinian protests in all of the West…
Folks… the islamic loving Luciferian Globalists are funding, aiding and helping satanic islam’s quest to dominate the world…
The Holy Bible references this in Daniels Statue… where the Iron represents the Roman Empire democratic, senate system… which unites with the Clay in the feet. <<< satanic islam…
You need to realize that you’re a lunatic.
Does the mere mention of the Holy Bible make you cringe?
Only when loonies talk about it.
Well… have no fear… God’s Holy Word stands on it’s own.
You stand on your own in boy’s bathrooms.
mi heffy Jeffy – did you start drinking early today? If you’re replying to sumsrent’s comment – it seems to be a knee jerk reaction from a bleary eyed frustrated burn out – I know, I have been in that state a few times in my life — Protein Shakes help along with sobriety — I give you a thumbs up on your life but a thumbs down that your comment was out of focus.
Oh Magoo, You done it again! :p)
I’m on a week long bender, big guy. And I was with Crazy Josie again.
BLM is an anti white, anti Christian, anti Jewish group with one of its leaders being the Black Muslim ,Louis Farrakhan who hates us all. ANTIFA is a communist movement that hates blacks, Christians and Jews.
And so our satanic fake christian is more akin to the snake oil salesmen who roamed the U.S. in wagons filled with bottles of what can cure ya, back when a dollar was still a dollar.
Dr. Sumsrent’s magic Christian elixer will drive all of that satanic Muslim crap out of your systembut it may give you stomach ache. All for $30 a bottle.
The Quran references The Star – An-Najm in chapter 53. and The Moon – Al-Qamar in chapter 54…
The Masonic star layout is evident on US currency, and Washington DC’s separate ten square mile radius and Masonic star layout.
And when we consider Daniels Statue… we realize that two entities coexist at the same time. The Iron (Roman) and The Clay (Islam). And knowing iron and clay don’t mix, we clearly see what is unfolding before our eyes.
It is clear that the Luciferian Globalists are aiding their anti-Christ, totalitarian government called Islam. They coexist with problems… but the end result is clear. Persecution of the Church and the Jews…
More gobble de gook from Dr. Sumsrent’s Snake Oil Magic Christian Elixer. What a bargain at $30 a bottle.
No idea what you are talking about. Don’t care. And I’m supposed to be one of your cheap insult allah worshipers?
I agree with J.B…….You need to realize that you’re a lunatic. See a psychiatrist. Or go to a river wearing a sheepskin and scream at the sky.
Oh yeah, I don’t cringe at the mention of the Bible. Just your whack interpretation of it. Do you make this sh*t up everyday or do you have it stored on index cards so you can pull it out as needed?
You don’t get out of your rubber room very often, do you?
Snake oil. He probably milks it himself
Abovetopsecret:
“In the Old Testament, there are many prophecies scattered throughout where God is calling out nations by name and destroying them. These are always associated with the Day of the Lord, and usually with Sun going black and the moon to red. 100% of these nations are Muslim countries today.
The Antichrist is called the Assyrian, Prince of Tyre, King of Babylon, Pharaoh of Egypt, Gog. The KJV in Isaiah calls this master, Lucifer.
In other versions he’s the Shining One, Son of the dawn.
In Hebrew he’s Helel Ben Shacker… In Arabic that’s Crescent Moon and Morning Star (symbols of Islam).”
The Jews have never believed in Satan and Hell. That was made up in the New Testament to scare Christians into being good. The 5000 year old, Old Testament, the Torah of the Jews written in the language of Hebrew never mentions Hell or Satan.
When you need a religious snake oil salesman, is this really the clown car you get in?
Hey Dr. Snake Oil, I think you are really starting to lose it.
Van Jones, of the Communist News Network, seems to imply from
his remark “No Jews – No News” that the Jews – brutalized victims
today from an ongoing global pogrom – are getting preferential
treatment in coverage.
What a vicious creep.
That is not at all how I understand his comment. He echoed the frequently repeated refrain from the pro-Israel corner of Twitter/X. If you follow some of the prominent voices defending Israel, they often lament the lack of coverage of numerous other conflicts where Islamists are slaughtering defenceless people of various religions. If Jews are not involved in a conflict, mainstream media ignores it.
???? There are only 20 million people in the world with the religion of Jewish. There are 1.3 billion Muslims in 22 countries. Who is doing the most damage to the world?
“Meteoric rises in the U.S. Islamic population and foreign students from the Middle East” – how did this happen?
During Obama & Biden?
Because any sane person today, with eyes to see and heart to understand knows what happens when islam enters a territory.
Dear Americans – you have a huge showcase; just look at my once beautiful Europe and the Nordics. We are drowning. And our politicians do it. And they give them – and other minorities (not the Jew) – special rights/treatment.
And immigrants get citizenship easy (not the Ukrainians), and then we are stuck.
They mainly study 3 subjects (it they study): doctor, engineer, lawyer…
Just google and read Copt/Swedish Sameh Egyptson phd – about how MB has infiltrated almost all parts of the Swedish society. They drain the country for money, live separately, demand special treatment. Gangs and clans. Also in the streets muslims are among the most criminals regarding rape, knife attacks, robbery, forced marriage, etc etc.
It is islam & its culture that make people this way – allah is no god, he/it is not good, and he/it makes the people who read and believe the koran really bad people. They are victims, but not the way they claim.
America – take care. Use todays window of opportunity to make better laws and expel as many as possible.
And do NOT give any from the Midde East (except Christians) citizenship. Not.
You are correct, Lisa. We in the US have been watching the mess Europe is making by welcoming these immigrants with open arms. Those here on the Left apparently want their daughters raped, their cities in chaos, and bearded mutants pushing for Sharia.
What I wonder, is who or what would thumbs down your post, That would appear to be the enemy within,
Paterson NJ has been taken over by a Muslim town council. It has gone the way of Michigan and Minnesota. Islam is patient, They sneak in and before you know it another city falls under Sharia law in the US.
I think that the reason that you get this biased attitude from the media is that they have been infiltrated by Communists since 1960 onwards. The Islamists are in bed with Communists.
Read this book to get a better understanding.
United in Hate: The Left’s Romance with Tyranny and Terror Hardcover – 3 Mar. 2009
by Jamie Glazov (Author)
United in Hate analyzes the Left’s contemporary romance with militant Islam as a continuation of the Left’s love affair with communist totalitarianism in the twentieth century. Just as the Left was drawn to the communist killing machines of Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot and Castro, so too it is now attracted to radical Islam. Both the radical Left and radical Islam possess a profound hatred for Western culture, for a capitalist economic structure that recognizes individual achievement and for the Judeo-Christian heritage of the United States. Both seek to establish a new world order: leftists in the form of a classless communist society and Islamists in the form of a caliphate ruled by Sharia law. To achieve these goals, both are willing to wipe the slate clean by means of limitless carnage, with the ultimate goal of erecting their utopia upon the ruins of the system they have destroyed.
KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov’s warning to America.
Kudos, Siddi. I have seldom read such a thoughtful and articulate analysis.
The utilization of culture to create Islam and their adherents as victims is the truly ignorant manifestation of the most warped, mentally circumscribed among us. Rules for Radicals, The Communist Manifesto along with other tomes of destruction began capitalizing on the natural rebellion of youth pushing their desires as the inviolable truth necessitating fundamental changes in our culture. Certainly to some extent before but most certainly after the radical shift in the late 1960’s, the cultural abuse of America’s foundational institutions became the focus of young, college-age kids. Still awaiting the complete maturation of their frontal lobes, the glut of drugs, supposed sexual freedoms, anarchy against parents, religion and the draft to send our young men into Vietnam became a cauldron of newly evolving hatred toward family and our shared cultural institutions. Black Communists like professor Angela Davis, along with additional radicals of various stripes became newly-minted activists embracing violence as a means to their revolutionary ends.
Feminists wanted their insufferable, self-centeredness canonized as imparting women with previously, non-existent freedoms by not only throwing away their bras but also entering the workforce abandoning all things familial.
As our culture began it’s collective spiral from sanity into the drug-infused catacombs of alternative reality, the cause for destroying America became the myopic trap door of ideological tyranny spawned and embodied in the indulgent, obsessive virtues of the collective good.
Each decade eroded more of the previously strong interconnectedness within our culture as graduate radicals did then what radical Islam is doing here today. It is the slow, meticulous invasion of everything but done slowly enough as to keep most of our citizenry, primarily occupied with family life, employment and children unaware of the massive, ideological Trojan Horse infiltration.
Surely this is far more complicated but shattering cultural cohesiveness by deliberately segmenting society into ever-evolving victimhood has allowed the left to facilitate Islam’s advance here using similar, clandestine strategies. Van Jones and others of this indulgent ilk have a macular degeneracy that prohibits them from rationally seeing honestly what is right before their eyes.
Very well said. I wonder of Jones and his ilk ever consider the long-term consequences of their incremental cultural “wins’ while they do the dirty work for the satanic cult that will cut them asunder when they are all that’s left of Western civilization?
Actually, “No Jews, no news” is not “blaming the Jews” – it is quite the opposite, and it is used primarily by pro-Israel people to emphasize that news organizations skip the news items if it is impossible to use them to blame the Jews/Israel. So Van Jones – and not for the first time – is being “anti-antisemitic” here. I don’t think it is from any conviction though although I might be mistaken. He is a very politically shrewd person and understands that Democrats are going to far in anti-Israel and pro-Islam direction.

These podcasters have to hit an emotional cord in just enough people to keep them financially operating – The sliver of percentage of the populace is all one needs!
Now that vile satanic hamazz have agreed not to attack Jews in Israel anymore, they are turning on their own and executing them!
President Trump will get to the Christians being slaughtered in the African continent when Russia and Ukraine is solved or perhaps adding this to the multitasking now that Israel can stand down, rebuild and increase surveillances on Iran proxy malitias.
A former pastor of my hometown church told of what happened to the Christian church in his hometown of Kano, Nigeria. Because the Christian church was holding services at the same time the mosque was also having services, the Islamists came and burned the Christian church to the ground. Thankfully we have freedom of religion in this nation. Will we have it in the near future?
Whom ever called Islam the Religion of Peace are the same fools who trusts the M.S. Media is honest and truthful
As far as I am aware, the term ‘No Jews No News’ was coined by a Jewish journalist. He also said ‘the news is not about Israel, Israel is the news’ which neatly sums up the media obsession with, and about, Israel
