| (EZ-Tracks) - The Anti-Defamation League demanded an apology from superstar Michael Jackson this week, after ABC aired a telephone answering-machine message in which the pop star referred to Jews as "leeches." The answering machine message which was apparently recorded two years ago— has surfaced in connection with a lawsuit against Jackson. alleged to have left for a former adviser, Dieter Wiesner. A transcript quotes Jackson as saying: "They suck them like leeches. ... They start out the most popular person in the world, make a lot of money, big house, cars and everything and end up penniless. It's a conspiracy. The Jews do it on purpose.” This isn’t the first time Jackson has been accused of anti-Semitism. Back in 1995 his song "They Don't Care About Us" included the lyrics "Jew me, sue me, everybody do me, kick me, kike me." Jackson apologized, saying the lyrics were meant to demonstrate the hatefulness of racism, anti-Semitism and stereotyping. He then changed the lyrics. | ||||||||||||
