When the ADL first disavowed him over the IPT tape, Keith Ellison claimed that it was taken out of context. But the context is ugly and he's trading in pretty blatant anti-Semitism. While emphasizing Muslim power, he's making it clear how he views Jews.
"If you have come to America, if you've left Syria, let's do something about that sanctions bill that prohibits the trade. If you left North Africa or Malaysia or Indonesia, I know that there's something over there we can sell and there's something from there we can buy here. These business relationships can be leveraged to say that we need some, a new deal politically. Do you understand what I am trying to say?"
Ellison emphasizes that Muslim power needs to be built up to counter the Jews.
"I'm looking for public diplomacy. You understand what I am saying? Public diplomacy... It just doesn't make any mathematical sense. But it makes all the sense in the world when you see that that country has mobilized its Diaspora in America to do its bidding in America. The question is, with all of us here, we ought to be able to do at least as much. You understand what I am trying to say? That we got a lot of work to do. I'm working on it. We're working on it together, and by supporting with my campaign you're keeping me in business doing this stuff."
The "Diaspora" is the Jewish diaspora. Keith Ellison sees a struggle between Jews and Muslims.
