Akin Gump: Anti-Semitic Stereotyping

In early March 1989 Eastern Airlines pilots went on strike.  The law firm of Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld, where I worked as a paralegal at the time, represented Eastern in its ongoing labor disputes with its unions.

Eastern pilots picketed at Washington National Airport.  Two Akin Gump paralegals, Jesse Raben and Phil Feigen, were sent by the firm to videotape the striking pilots at Washington National.

Some time later, another legal assistant Stacey Schaar was assigned the task of reviewing the videotapes.  I shared office space with Stacey Schaar.  I remember her carting the TV to the office and watching the tapes (as well as Regis and Kathy Lee).  She referred several times to Raben and Feigen as "the two monkeys."  "Oh, look at the two monkeys.  Don't they look like a pair of monkeys."

Oddly enough, I recently learned that referring to Jews as monkeys is a traditional expression of Islamic anti-Semitism.

It has been argued that the conventional Muslim epithets for Jews, apes, and Christians, pigs derive from Quranic usage. Lewis adduces three passages in the Quran used to ground this view. The interpretation of these 'enigmatic' passages in Islamic exegetics is highly complex, dealing as they do with infractions like breaking the Sabbath. According to Goitein, the idea of Jewish Sabbath breakers turning into apes may reflect the influence of Yemeni midrashim. Firestone notes that the Qurayza tribe itself is described in Muslim sources as using the trope of being turned into apes if one breaks the Sabbath to justify not exploiting the Sabbath in order to attack Mohammad, when they were under siege.

The Quran states that wretchedness and baseness were stamped upon the Jews, and they were visited with wrath from Allah, that was because they disbelieved in Allah's revelations and slew the prophets wrongfully. And for their taking usury, which was prohibited for them, and because of their consuming people's wealth under false pretense, a painful punishment was prepared for them. The Quran requires their "abasement and poverty" in the form of the poll tax jizya. In his "wrath" God has "cursed" the Jews and will turn them into apes/monkeys and swine and idol worshipers because they are "infidels".

Two verses later we read: "And remember, Children of Israel, when We made a covenant with you and raised Mount Sinai before you saying, "Hold tightly to what We have revealed to you and keep it in mind so that you may guard against evil." But then you turned away, and if it had not been for Allah's grace and mercy, you surely would have been among the lost. And you know those among who sinned on the Sabbath. We said to them, "You will be transformed into despised apes." So we used them as a warning to their people and to the following generations, as well as a lesson for the Allah-fearing." The accusation that Jews will ultimately be transformed into apes and pigs is traditionally understood literally and is derived from such Quranic and other early Muslim sources.

American academic Bernard Lewis and others have charged that standard antisemitic themes have become commonplace in the publications of Arab Islamic movements such as Hizbullah and Hamas, in the pronouncements of various agencies of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and even in the newspapers and other publications of Refah Partisi, the Turkish Islamic party whose head served as prime minister in 1996–97." Lewis has also written that the language of abuse is often quite strong, arguing that the conventional epithets for Jews and Christians are apes and pigs, respectively.

In a speech delivered by Egyptian Salafi Islamic scholar Muhammad Hussein Yacoub which aired on Al-Rahma TV on January 17, 2009, he stated:
"We must believe that our fighting with the Jews is eternal, and it will not end until the final battle...You must believe that we will fight, defeat, and annihilate them, until not a single Jew remains on the face of the Earth...As for you Jews – the curse of Allah upon you. The curse of Allah upon you, whose ancestors were apes and pigs. You Jews have sown hatred in our hearts, and we have bequeathed it to our children and grandchildren. You will not survive as long as a single one of us remains...Oh Jews, may the curse of Allah be upon you. Oh Jews... Oh Allah, bring Your wrath, punishment, and torment down upon them. Allah, we pray that you transform them again, and make the Muslims rejoice again in seeing them as apes and pigs. You pigs of the earth! You pigs of the earth! You kill the Muslims with that cold pig of yours."

Communication with Judge Lynne M. Abraham

Mr. Friedman: 

If you wish to become my client, I'd be most interested to see if I can help you. As it stands right now , I have no factual, significant or detailed evidence to speak to any law enforcement agency except for the statements, brief as they are, you raised in your e-mail. Under the circumstances, my informing anyone in law enforcement about what you say occurred, is a non-starter.

Judge Abraham:

I am writing to you as a concerned citizen in your capacity as a former state court judge and prosecutor.

There is circumstantial evidence that I am engaged in the commission of a felony against the government of the United States and the District of Columbia.  There is circumstantial evidence that I have used The George Washington University to help me defraud the government of the United States of hundreds of thousands of dollars in Social Security Disability and Medicare benefits as well as the Government of the District of Columbia of DC Medicaid Benefits.

I was employed as a paralegal at the law firm of Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld from 1988 to October 29, 1991, on which date my employment was terminated.  To avoid the legal consequences of an unlawful termination, several Akin Gump management partners conspired to defame me, enabling me to defraud the U.S. Social Security Administration of hundreds of thousands of dollars in disability benefits on the grounds that I suffered from disabling mental illness that might be associated with a risk of violence.

There is also circumstantial evidence that Akin Gump engaged in perjury in a federal court case that was related to my employment with the firm.

I request that you contact the Washington Field Office of the FBI to urge that this possible felony be investigated.  You may contact the Washington Field Office of the FBI at 202 278-2000.

Incidentally, I am a native Philadelphian and a 1982 graduate of Temple University Law School.  I moved to Washington, DC in 1983 to earn an LL.M. in International Trade Law at the American University.

Akin Gump Perjury

To the Federal Bureau of Investigation--Washington Metropolitan Field Office:

There is circumstantial evidence that the law firm of Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld may have committed perjury in the following case litigated in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (Judge Joyce Hens Green, presiding): McNeil v. Akin, Gump Strauss, Hauer & Feld,
Civil Action No. 93-0477 (1993).

Plaintiff McNeil, an African American employee in Akin Gump's Litigation Support Department, was fired for insubordination by Personnel Administrator, Laurel Digweed in April 1992.  Thereafter McNeil filed a suit for damages in U.S. District Court alleging discrimination under Title VII.  McNeil alleged that her supervisor, Litigation Support Director Christine Robertson was a known racist and that Robertson had colluded in the termination decision with Personnel Administrator Digweed.  Akin Gump denied that Robertson and Digweed colluded in the wrongful termination of McNeil, and the court granted Defendant Akin Gump's motion for summary judgment.  The court found that Robertson's alleged prior racist behavior was irrelevant to the case since Robertson played no role in Plaintiff McNeil's termination.  Defendant Akin Gump was represented by Robert J. Higgins, Esq.
(202 420 2272) of Dickstein Shapiro, LLP.  I believe that previously, Akin Gump management partner Dennis M. Race, Esq. (202 887 4028)  handled the case for the firm.

http://dailstrug.blogspot.com/2009/11/racism-at-vernon-jordans-law-firm.html

In late October 1991, six months before McNeil was terminated, I had filed a harassment complaint against my supervisor, Litigation Support Director Robertson and others with management attorney Dennis M. Race, Esq., alleging religious and sexual preference harassment under the D.C. Human Rights Act of 1977.  Several days later the firm terminated my employment, later alleging before the D.C. Department of Human Rights that the firm's investigation of my complaint disclosed that I suffered from psychological problems that rendered me unemployable and a direct threat in the workplace.  Akin Gump's Interrogatory Response filed with the D.C. Department of Human Rights on May 22, 1992 (in full knowledge of the McNeil termination in April 1992) failed to disclose that I had ever alleged that I had been harassed by Litigation Support Director Robertson.  In effect, Akin Gump failed to disclose that as of late October 1991 it had knowledge that Robertson posed a Title VII problem for the firm.

Moreover, in my own case Akin Gump admitted that Robertson cooperated with Digweed (and Race) in my job termination.  In a termination chart prepared by the firm Akin Gump lists the following three individuals as the decisionmakers in my termination: Robertson, Digweed and Race.  Freedman v. Akin Gump, Hauer & Feld (agency record at 167).

http://dailstrug.blogspot.com/2009/12/social-security-administration-initial.html

Additionally,
statements contained in Akin Gump’s Response to Interrogatories, filed with the D.C. Department of Human Rights on May 22, 1992, directly contradict the firm's production in McNeil v. Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld.

Akin Gump refers in the Freedman Response to my “transfer” or “transition,” in March 1990, from the firm’s legal assistant program to the firm’s litigation support department:

“In an attempt to find comparable work for the Claimant, a decision was made to transfer him to the Litigation Support Department.” Response to Particulars, Attachment A, page 1. (emphasis added).

“During his transition from a legal assistant position (paralegal) to his work with the litigation support department, Claimant had several discussions with his direct supervisor about problems with interacting with co-workers and occasional outbursts. . . .” Response to Particulars, Attachment A, page 5. (emphasis added).

In McNeil the court found that a transfer from Akin Gump’s litigation support department to the legal assistant program constituted a promotion. McNeil v. Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld, No. 93-0477, footnote 2 at 2 (D.C.D.C., filed Nov. 29, 1993) (“McNeil could have applied for promotions outside of the [litigation support] department to legal secretary or legal assistant, however, she stated that she was not interested in either position. During her tenure, two of her coworkers both black, were promoted to legal assistant positions.”) Thus, according to McNeil, a necessary logical conclusion is that my own reverse transfer from legal assistant to litigation support employee in March 1990 was a demotion.

Akin Gump’s characterization of my demotion as a "transfer” or “transition” directly contradicts Akin Gump's production in McNeil that a "transfer" from the firm's Litigation Support Department to the Legal Assistant program constituted a promotion.
