After anti-Semitic tirade, Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan loses Twitter verification

The little blue check-mark badge was removed after a video from Farrakhan’s three-hour May 27 sermon blamed Jews for advocating “Satanic” same-sex marriage, imposing undue influence on former U.S. President Barack Obama and using sex to get parts in Hollywood films.

Twitter withdrew Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan’s verified status after he tweeted last week about the “Satanic Jew and the Synagogue of Satan.”

The little blue check-mark badge, which highlights noteworthy, popular accounts, was removed over the weekend after a video from Farrakhan’s three-hour May 27 sermon blamed Jews for advocating “Satanic” same-sex marriage, imposing undue influence on former U.S. President Barack Obama and using sex to get parts in Hollywood movies.

“Whenever you read that God has told the Jews to hear and obey, and they say, ‘I hear and I disobey,’ that’s Satan. ... [The Jews] are openly disobeying God,” railed Farrakhan. “He [a Jew] will take down the whole world with him.”

“Do you know that many of us who go to Hollywood seeking a chance have to submit to anal sex and all kinds of debauchery, and they give you a little part? It’s called the casting couch,” added Farrakhan. “See, that’s Jewish power.”

Ticket sales opened this week for the July 1 opening ceremony, featuring leading Israeli and American performers, including pro-Israel advocate Montana Tucker.
Jewish groups and local leaders are expected to gather in support of the Israeli-owned business as police continue searching for the suspect.
The indictment is subject to a hearing, according to the Office of the State Attorney. If the decision is made to proceed, Tzachi Braverman will be tried for fraud, breach of trust and obstruction of justice.
The meeting also included Isareli Defense Minister Israel Katz and Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir.
The amount of warning time ranges from several seconds in border communities to up to one minute in northern Israel and around two minutes elsewhere.
In supplementary opinion, the Advisory Committee on Senior Civil Service Appointments found “no defect” in the integrity of IDF Maj. Gen. Gofman.
