Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan suggested that the sex scandal plaguing President Clinton was introduced as part of a Zionist conspiracy to reduce U.S. pressure on Israel. In an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Farrakhan also insisted he does not hate Jews, but is only “hateful of their inordinate control over black politicians, black intellectuals, black organizations, and I will fight to destroy that kind of control as long as God gives me health and strength.”
