PHILADELPHIA (JTA) – NFL star DeSean Jackson posted quotes on social media attributed to Adolf Hitler and Louis Farrakhan, but the Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver said he has no hatred toward the Jewish community.

One of the two Hitler quotes posted Monday accuses “white Jews” of having a “plan for world domination.” The quotes are said to be Hitler’s justification for the mass murder of Jews in Europe.
The post also says: “Hitler said, ‘because the white Jews knows that the Negroes are the real Children of Israel and to keep Americas secret the Jews will blackmail America. … The white citizens of America will be terrified to know that all this time they’ve been mistreating and discriminating and lynching the Children of Israel.’”
Jackson later added to one of the posts: “Anyone who feels I have hate towards the Jewish community took my post the wrong way. I have no hatred in my heart toward no one!! Equality. Equality [raised fist emojis].”
DeSean Jackson, posts a quote from Hitler, says he’s not anti-Semitic and then highlights the particularly anti-Semitic part.
As an Eagles fan, this is disgusting. Where is the response from the team and the NFL? pic.twitter.com/MFPmz0PyOY

On Saturday, he posted a photo of Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan delivering his three-hour Fourth of July address in which Farrakhan, who has called Jews “termites” and denounced the “Synagogue of Satan,” repeated canards about Jews.
Jackson wrote: “This man powerful I hope everyone got a chance to watch this!! Don’t be blinded. Know what’s going on!!”
The Eagles brought back Jackson late last season after he had played for the team in 2008-10. The organization has not commented on the posts.
Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie and general manager Howie Roseman are Jewish.
Black antisemitism is virulent and real. Frum Jewish racism is virulent and real. Its our not so hidden secret.
the liberal jew is scared of his own shadow
Just further confirmation that the NFL has punched out.
Save both your money and your morals: go watch your local high school’s football team play.
Only Trump’s social media posts “violate” the standards of the website rules, this guy is just fine. But then again, we expect comportment from a US President, but why would we expect similar behavior from a member of the NFL.
Remember the saying “Shut up and sing!”? Well, someone (probably the NFL bosses) should tell this nutcase “Shut up and play!”
The owner and general manager of the Eagles don’t have the guts to do anything , and probably will remain silent. It reminds me of the case of former baseball Commissioner Bud Selig, when he kept silent, when that anti-semite, Marge Schott, the owner of the Cincinnati Reds, kept making anti-semitic remarks.
Dear owners:
“First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.”
This guy is too imbecilic to know that Hilter hated Black people , and would have done the same to them had they lived in Europe at that time.
Secular Jews are not anti-Black racists. They helped start the NAACP, did many lawsuits against discrimination and marched wirh Dr. Martin Luther King. Jews were killed down south in voter registration drives.
Why would anyone take a football player seriously? These athletes are poorly educated young men who have had numerous concussions. Their ignorant comments are not newsworthy.
We are like lambs being led to slaughter. Where our so called Jewish organizations to speak up about this disgusting hatred. Every Monday and Thursday I get a letter from organizations raising money to fight antisemitism……..well, where are they?
If a professional ball player made a similar statement about people of color, Al Sharpton and his cronies would be yelling for his being fired. Not us though.
As a wise man once said, “when someone spits at a Jew, the Jews will ignore it and claim that it is raining.
He gets a free pass because hes oppressed
Go liberal Jew Yentas. HIAS CONFERENCE OF MAJOR JEWISH ORGS REFORM CONSERVATIVE ORGS ADL ALL SUPPORT ANTI SEMITIC BLM.

He’s started up with the wrong people … The Boooooooogolo boys are gonna be on his tail for a life time . So are the Jewgolo Boys .
