  • The Jewish Defense League
    The Jewish Defense League This document is an archived copy of an older ADL report and may not reflect the most current facts or developments related to its subject matter. About the Jewish Defense League The Jewish Defense League, also known as JDL, was established in 1968 for the declared purpose of protecting Jews by whatever means necessary in the face of what was seen by the group’s principals as their dire peril. The founder, national chairman and leader of the JDL was a then-38-year-old ordained rabbi from Brooklyn, New York, Meir Kahane, who, in 1990, was assassinated in New York by an Arab extremist. In Rabbi Kahane’s gross distortion of the position of Jews in America, American Jews were living in a fiercely hostile society, facing much the same dangers as the Jews in Nazi Germany or those in Israel surrounded by 100-million Arab enemies. Rabbi Kahane believed that the major Jewish organizations in the United States had failed to protect America’s Jews from anti-Semitism, which he saw as “exploding” all over the country. "If I have succeeded in instilling fear in you," Rabbi Kahane said in the closing statement of his standard speech, "I consider this evening a success." In fact, Kahane consistently preached a radical form of Jewish nationalism which reflected racism, violence and political extremism. In Their Own Words Irv Rubin -- Chairman of the Jewish Defense League 1 / 36 After the attack on the Jewish community center in Los Angeles: "Those kids at that community center were sitting ducks.

  • It Seems Barely an Exaggeration to Say That Arab and Muslim Americans Are Constantly Talked About but Almost Never Heard From. T
    It seems barely an exaggeration to say that Arab and Muslim Americans are constantly talked about but almost never heard from. The problem is not that they lack representations but that they have too many. And these are all abstractions. Arabs and Muslims have become a foreign-policy issue, an argument on the domestic agenda, a law-enforcement priority, and a point of well-meaning concern. They appear as shadowy characters on terror television shows, have become objects of sociological inquiry, and get paraded around as puppets for public diplomacy…They are floating everywhere in the virtual landscape of the national imagination, as either villains of Islam or victims of Arab culture. — Moustafa Bayoumi, How Does it Feel to be a Problem1 36 Waleed F. Mahdi investigation of the historical trajectory of Hollywood's engagement with the Arab American cultural identity. INTRODUCTION Popular culture in the United States functions through sensational and rating­ based entertainment. It also promotes a hegemonic frame of reference for cultural citizenship and national belonging in the life of "cultural citizens.'" It serves as an ideological state apparatus, to echo French philosopher Louis Althusser, guiding citizens through an acculturation process that homogenizes their own subjectivity.' In this sense, this article defines cultural citizenship as a tool to sUbjectify minorities through the mediation of popular culture.4 In his scholarly reviews of Hollywood's history, Lary May emphasizes the cinema's role in enunciating cultural citizenship. Hollywood, he argues, has been a site of fury for debates around "good citizenship" because of its connection to "political power, cultural authority, and the very meaning of national identity."5 For decades, Hollywood has played a major role in Circulating a popular sense of American collective imagination and manufacturing sensational conceptions of cultural Otherness.
