Assuming arguendo that Rev. Lee had legitimate grievences against the artistic work of some individual Jewish Americans in the entertainment industry, and perhaps felt slighted by the comments of the unnamed Rabbi who sought to foster some sort of Jewish- American- African -American joint venture, one wonders why he felt that the dinner honoring Ms. Ziman for her philantrophic work on behalf of African-American children was the appropriate forum for such remarks.

The only reason I can come up with is that Rev. Lee wanted to humiliate Ms. Ziman, as a Jew who in his view was somehow responsible for the actions of some or all Jews.
This is classical anti-semitism, of which there is no shortage in the African -American community.
The Jewish community, including Ms. Ziman can only blame itself for looking the other way at a viral spread of such hate, starting with the anti-Jewish campaigns targeting the alleged “slumlords” and teachers in the late sixties, escalating to the Crown Heights pogrom in 1991, and continuing with the Sharpton/Jackson Jew baiting and now the pandemic of out and out Jew hating with Wright, Lee, Farrakhan et al.

Gone are the “jewish” “slumlords” and “teachers” and in their place we have the “Jewish” “diamond-merchants” and Hollywood
entertainment moguls.
Its time for Jewish Americans to step forward and DEMAND that the political leadership of the African American community take a strong stand in confronting this base manifestation of Jew hatred.
If they refuse, we in the Jewish American Community should disengage and put our resources to work elsewhere.
