Malik Zulu Shabazz is the anti-Semitic leader of the New Black Panther Party. While Shabazz claims to be a champion of civil rights, many of his comments are blatantly anti-Semitic.
Shabazz has accused the Jews of dominating African American entertainers and athletes, controlling the world economy and media and being responsible for September 11th. Like other like-minded conspiracy theorists, his accusations are baseless.
Shabazz charges the Jews of racism and claims that slavery has its roots in the Jewish Talmud. "Let’s go to the Talmud and see what the Talmud says about black people. And let’s see how the Jewish rabbis… set the stage for the African holocaust by putting forth the doctrine and the writing that black people are cursed," he once said.
Shabbaz has also endorsed the anti-Semitic Nation of Islam Publication titled "The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews". The book, harshly criticized by some of America's leading African American studies scholars, claims that the Jews were responsible for and dominated slavery. No credible scholarly body has supported this view.
The rhetoric spread by Shabazz and the New Black Panther Party has been denounced by both civil rights organizations and members of the original Black Panther Party.
If 3,000 people perished in the World Trade Center attacks and the Jewish population is 10 percent, you show me records of 300 Jewish people dying in the World Trade Center…We’re daring anyone to dispute its truth. They got their people out.
