Russian paper
apologizes for ‘anti-Semitic’ article,
By SHELDON KIRSHNER, Canadian Jewish News,
September 11, 2003
"A Russian-language weekly newspaper in Toronto has printed an apology
to readers who were offended by an article that many condemned as anti-Semitic.
In the piece, written from Lvov, Ukrainian academic Valery Serduchenko
writes that a “group of the sons of Abraham” has “undressed the country
down to the underwear” by privatizing government assets. But Arkadi Turin,
editor of Russian Canadian Info, denied the article was offensive.
“I don’t think it was anti-Jewish,” said Turin, a 43-year-old professional
journalist who immigrated to Canada from Moscow 13 years ago. “It was
directed against a very small group of people called the oligarchs, and
unfortunately, some of them are Jewish.” Boris Nusenbaum, the Jewish
proprietor of Russian Canadian Info, said the article did not offend
him. It was an acerbic commentary on wealthy Jewish businessmen in Russia,
collectively known as oligarchs, who made vast fortunes after the collapse
of the Soviet Union in 1991. “I didn’t feel, as a Jew, an assault from
Serduchenko,” said Nusenbaum, whose publication appears in slimmer
editions in Montreal and Otta ... The article ... contains passages that
could have come from the pages of the notorious anti-Semitic Czarist tract
The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. In the opening sentence of
his article, Serduchenko writes: “In many troubled times, of which, basically,
consists of Russian history, a Jew surfaced.” “All this has caused and
continues to cause exasperation in Russian souls,” he observes in the
second paragraph. In a direct reference to Jewish oligarchs Boris Berezovsky,
Roman Abramovich, Vladimir Gusinsky and others, he states:
“Another group of the sons of Abraham arranged a privatization campaign
in Russia and undressed the country down to the underwear, and a Jew with
an operatic last name of Abramovich became the chief person in
Chukotka [a vast region in eastern Russia].” In the third paragraph, he
writes: “It is hard even to imagine more Jewish and, alas, less likeable
Jews. Generally undereducated, they started to worm themselves into all
the crevices of Russian life… “Gusinsky proclaimed himself to be
the president of the self-made World Jewish Congress, stuck a kippah on
his head and started to show it off on the screens of Russian television.”
In a reference to Mikhail Khodorkovsky, an oil magnate whom Forbes
magazine has called the richest man in Russia, Serduchenko says, “[He]
is a cosmopolitan, a ‘citizen of the world,’ and carries his homeland
on the soles of his shoes. Russia, for Khodorkovsky, is a cheap
work force, while for [Russian President Vladimir] Putin, it is his fate,
soul, heart, his… human composition.” Toward the close of the article,
Serduchenko notes: “It is not the nationality but the truth that matters,
and one of the truths is that there should not be too much or too little
Jewish percentage in the genetic substance of any nation. Each time when
this percentage becomes too high, the nations become enraged.” As a result,
he warned, pogroms are bound to occur. “Jews, be alert!” he warn ... Asked
whether the article was anti-Semitic, Igor Korenzvit, a member of The
CJN’s editorial advisory board, replied, “Very much so.” He
then expressed surprise that it had been printed in a publication whose
owner is Jewish and whose staff and readership are primarily Jewish.
“I would have expected more sensitivity and sense from them.” Nusenbaum,
who also publishes the newspaper Gazeta Plus,
conceded that Serduchenko’s foray into genetics could be construed as
anti-Semitic. “But the views in this article are not anti-Semitic,” he
added. A native of St. Petersburg who said he left Russia to escape anti-Semitism,
Nusenbaum, 50, said the oligarchs with Jewish surnames “bring anti-Semitism
to Russian and Ukrainian souls ... In a concession to their sensitivities,
Russian Canadian Info ran an apology to readers
who were offended by the article, as well as letters critical of Serduchenko.
Turin said he will no longer accept contributions from him on similar
topics. “He’s temperamental and goes over the top.”

The
right to voice strong views. An American newspaper recently labelled the
Observer Judeophobic. It is not,
by Geoffrey Wheatcroft, The Observer (UK)
, September 14, 2003
"When Israel was born in 1948, David Ben Gurion said that
the Jewish people had become 'like other nations'. That was the great
dream of Zionism, intended by Theodor Herzl to 'answer the Jewish
question', to 'normalise' the Jews so that they could become as obscure
as the Danes or the Dutch; a nation like all others. The outcome is painfully
clear every time you switch on the television or open a newspaper, where
that tiny patch of territory called the Holy Land is covered at more length
than all of Africa or India. So far from obscure, this Jewish state is
surrounded by bitter argument and recrimination. Last week, the International
Herald Tribune published an article by Barry Kosmin and Paul
Iganski under the headline 'Crossing the line from criticism to
bigotry'. The writers went further than the familiar accusation against
western news media - even against the New York Times - of hostile
bias towards Israel. They claimed that Judeophobia,
'hatred or fear of Jews', had 'infected elements of the British news media',
and that The Observer was 'a serial offender when it comes to bigotry
against Jews'. That is a very serious accusation indeed, and would
be devastating if true. Several pieces were adduced as evidence. One was
a verse by Tom Paulin, published in February 2001, describing the 'Zionist
SS' killing 'little Palestinian boys', the other was a recent column by
Richard Ingrams in which he said that when he saw letters in the paper
about Israel his practice was 'to look at the signature to see if the
writer has a Jewish name. If so, I tend not to read it'. Personally, I
thought both effusions grotesque (perhaps the most offensive word in Paulin's
offering was 'poem'; has the Trades Descriptions Act no literary application?)
and if either had been an expression of editorial policy, this paper would
stand condemned. But there must be a presumption in favour of freedom
of expression and variety of opinion, even if it's easier to suppress
everything unseemly or outrageous in the interests of good taste, or a
quiet life. An intemperate and vulgar press is always better than a licensed
or self-censored press. The American journalist Michael Kinsley,
a Jewish liberal, has said how much he admires the London papers (even
Ingrams's Private Eye, with what Kosmin and Iganski call
its long history 'of sarcasm and vitriol vis-a-vis the Jews') by comparison
with journalism in the US, 'paralysed by gentility'. It is certainly arguable
that reporters covering the conflict in the Holy Land hunt in a pack,
just as they did in Ulster and the Balkans, as the self-appointed friends
of Israel say (Israelis themselves, in my experience, are less thin-skinned,
echoing the Millwall fans: 'Everybody hates us, we don't care.') But does
The Observer have a tradition of 'bigotry against Jews'? Over the
years this paper has been a by-word for supporting progressive causes,
fighting racism, and employing Jewish writers (to the late Lady Pamela
Berry, The Observer was 'a lot of central Europeans writing about a lot
of central Africans') and for long it echoed the fondness once felt for
Israel on the liberal Left. Twenty years ago when
Conor Cruise O'Brien was editor-in-chief and a scintillating columnist,
he used The Observer as a platform for his passionate Zionism.
Everyone knows that the Left and Israel have fallen out of love, for reasons
it would take a book to explain. But can the alienation of so many former
emotional Zionists simply be ascribed to 'hatred or fear of Jews'? For
Kosmin and Iganski, who have edited a book called A new Anti-Semitism?,
it evidently can ... What Kosmin and Iganski call the new
Judeophobia is indeed nothing like the anti-Semitism of the Anti-Dreyfusards.
It is entirely to do with the Jewish state of which
Herzl dreamt. It relates not to the causes of Zionism but to its consequences.
That is the problem. If criticism of Israel, however brutal or unfair,
is construed as anti-Semitism, then this must represent a grave failure
for Zionism. No one cries 'racist' at the fiercest critics of Ireland
or Pakistan. Why is Israel different? Other British Jews have talked
of their pain and estrangement in the face of mounting hostility towards
Israel ... Whatever else is said about Israel, it quite obviously is not
a nation like all others, or these very controversies would not be taking
place. And although Kosmin and Iganski may not realise it,
they come close to confirming that old foreboding
that a Jewish state would compromise the position of western Jews in their
own countries."
[Avid Zionist Israel Asper's National Post takes on the Wesern
intellectual tradition, attempting to destroy its origins as bigoted "antisemitism."
Judeocentrism again is evidenced in every corner of modern culture; it's
aim is historical revisionism on a profound scale. The great philosopher
Immanuel Kant is, we are told, part of the "family tree" of
Nazism. Why were the greatest thinkers of the "Enlightenment"
so critical of Jewry (by today's Jewish terms, "antisemitic")?
There are good reasons which popular Judeocentric discourse forbids from
examination. What these philosophers said about the Jewish tribe were,
for the most part, true. "Being Jewish" has always been rooted
in prejudice to the non-Jewish Other.]
'Enlightened'
kant racist: historian Anti-semitic statements,
by Jeet Heer, National Post (Canadda), September
15, 2003
" For those who cherish the hope of creating a tolerant and cosmopolitan
society, the Enlightenment thinkers of the 18th
century stand as heroes in the battle against prejudice and ignorance.
According to the text books, Enlightenment writers such as Voltaire, Thomas
Paine and Immanuel Kant were born in a Europe still mired in the legacy
of medieval irrationalism, where people cowered in fear of clerical and
monarchical power. Emboldened by the success of Isaac Newton and other
scientists in overturning traditional cosmology, Voltaire and company
launched irreverent attacks on the throne and the altar. With their pens
as weapons and encyclopedias and textbooks as their megaphones, these
scrappy philosophers spread the Enlightenment values of free discussion,
separation of church and state and popular sovereignty. Presented in this
way, the Enlightenment seems like one of the most beneficent intellectual
movements in human history, but some recent scholars are casting doubt
on this conventional view. In his newly released study, German Idealism
and the Jew (University of Chicago Press), Michael
Mack, a historian at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, argues there
is a deep affinity between modern anti-Semitism and the philosophy of
Immanuel Kant, perhaps the greatest thinker to emerge from the Enlightenment.
In presenting his case for the prosecution, Mack observes that
Kant consistently equated Jewish identity with a
host of undesirable traits, including superstition, dishonesty, worldliness
and even cowardliness. "Every coward is a liar; Jews for example,
not only in business, but also in common life," Kant noted in a lecture
on practical philosophy ... "Immanuel Kant was the paradigmatic philosopher
of the European Enlightenment," says Paul Guyer in the Routledge Encyclopedia
of Philosophy (1998). "He eradicated the last traces of the medieval world
view from modern philosophy, joined the key ideas of earlier rationalism
and empiricism into a powerful model of the subjective
origins of the fundamental principles of both science and morality,
and laid the ground for much in the philosophy of the 19th and 20th centuries
... Precisely because of the magnitude of Kant's achievement, scholars
have tended to downplay his unwholesome writings on Jews and non-white
peoples. Kant's remarks on such subjects are often portrayed as casual
and incidental with no real connection to the core of his ideas, which
are based on a commitment to universal human equality. Mack argues,
however, that glossing over Kant's anti-Semitism leads to intellectual
distortion. By Mack's account, Kant's contempt
for the Jews is intimately related to the central themes of his world
view, and sheds light on the limits of Enlightenment thinking.
According to Mack, all the positive traits of Kantian philosophy (freedom,
autonomy, reason) are formed by being contrasted with a negative image
of unenlightened humanity, usually taking the form of an anti-Semitic
or some other racist caricature. For Kant, motives could only be good
if they were not aimed at any material benefit. He
saw Judaism as an inherently materialist religion, based upon a quid pro
quo between God and His chosen people. "In order to fully define
the formal structures of his philosophy (autonomy, reason, morality and
freedom), Kant almost unconsciously fantasized about the Jews as its opposite,"
Mack notes. "He posited Judaism as an abstract principle that does nothing
else but, paradoxically, desire the consumption of material goods." Of
course, Kant did not generate his anti-Semitism out of thin air: As with
other figures of the Enlightenment, his mind was furnished by the medieval
thinking he intended to refute ... As portrayed in Mack's book,
Kant is a pivotal figure in Western thought because
he took this earlier religious hostility toward Jews and reformulated
it in philosophic language. By showing that the traditional critique of
the Jews could be made by an Enlightenment philosopher, Kant set the stage
for modern secular anti-Semitism. In the central chapters of his book,
Mack argues that what he believes is Kant's fundamental antinomy (free
enlightened humanity versus Jews enslaved to materialism) provided the
framework for future anti-Semites, notably the philosopher G.W.F. Hegel
and the musician Richard Wagner. Since Wagner in particular was
a cultural hero for Adolf Hitler, Kant's own anti-Semitism can be seen
as having a far-reaching effect. By tracing an intellectual genealogy
that puts Kant in the family tree of Nazism, historians such as Mack are
upturning deeply held notions ... As he shows in the second half of his
book, many Jewish thinkers, ranging from the philosopher Moses Mendelssohn
to the psychologist Sigmund Freud, used the very freedoms that the Enlightenment
created to launch a fundamental critique of the Kantian division between
the ideal and material world."
Right
Wing Violence in North America, Part IV,
by Jeffrey Kaplan, William Paterson University
"The American Jewish Committee first focused on the activities of
Gerald L. K. Smith on a formal level in May 1947 when, alarmed at the
apparent success of Smith and other right wingers at linking Jews to Soviet
communism, the AJC executive committee met to form a plan of attack against
the Smith crusade. This and subsequent meetings failed to come to an agreement
on a coherent strategy, due primarily to the delicate alance of the body
politic in this, the first flush of the Cold War. Soviet
Jews were simply too deeply involved in the Soviet state, and ith the
international communist movement as well, to risk involving a Jewish organization
in the controversy. Making a virtue of indecision, the strategy
which both the ADL and AJC eventually arrived at was termed at the time
"dynamic silence." Championed by Rabbi
S. A. Fineberg of the AJC, the idea was to close
off all access to the public media- and thus the larger culture-
to "rabble rousers" such as Smith. This decision would mark the moment
in time when the radical right would gradually fade from direct access
to the popular media, and thus the public consciousness, leaving the 'watchdog'
organizations such as the ADL and AJC in a position to
assume stewardship of the public exposure of the movement. It was
not until the attempt by Smith and others to block the appointment of
Anna M. Rosenberg as an Assistant Secretary of Defense in 1950
that both the American Jewish Committee and the Anti-Defamation League
opened a full fledged attack on Gerald L. K. Smith by bringing charges
of anti- Semitism before the United States Senate. By
then, the tactics employed by the ADL and the AJC were well honed: to
identify potential anti- Semites and to seek to preempt if possible, to
halt if not, their activities by putting pressure on elected officials
and on local and national newspapers, by printing the names of suspected
anti-Semites, and by distributing 'educational' materials intended to
neutralize criticism of the Jewish community. It is an interpretive
role that today continues to be performed by the "watchdog" groups of
which the ADL is the most influential. Acting in a role which is strikingly
reminiscent of a "high priesthood"whose self-appointed task it is to interpret
the distant rumblings of the radical right wing milieu, the
ADL and its numerous imitators have, through carefully nurtured connections
with Congress, government agencies and the media, succeeded to a remarkable
degree in banishing the adherents of right wing appeals to the margins
of society. What's more, the ADL, once fastened on a target, is tenacious
in its endeavors to isolate the target movement from the mainstream culture.
No better example could be given of an attempt to physically isolate a
perceived enemy than the 1969 effort by the ADL to prevent the building
of a road at public expense linking an aging Gerald L. K. Smith's biblical
theme park and annual passion play in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, with the
main highway. Using tactics perfected in the 1950s, the ADL acted along
two tracks: a somewhat covert press campaign which attempted to influence
local and national newspapers to write in opposition to the road building
effort, and a high profile campaign headed by ADL National Chairman
Don Schary to appeal to government officials to intervene. Included
in this latter campaign were President Richard Nixon, Secretary of Commerce
Maurice Stans and Secretary of Transportation John Volpe. Smith's theme
parkdid in the end get its road, but not before the
ADL set out to punish any individual or company having any connection
with the project. Smith himself ended his career in virtual obscurity,
publishing his Cross and the Flag newsletter and putting out ever more
inconsequential tracts purporting to contain "revelations" of the Jewish
hand behind sex education, Capital Hill debauchery, and ad infinitum.
The tactics pioneered against Smith proved so efficacious
that even before the onset of the 1980s language rectification movement
known somewhat derisively as "political correctness", the radical right
had been all but silenced in the American public square. In Canada,
the process has gone further with active prosecutions of right wing figures--holocaust
revisionists in particular have fallen afoul of Canadian prosecutors if
not courts of appeal."
[Pipes' article in question is here.]
UO
professor sues authors of column,
By Bill Bishop, The Register-Guard (Oregon),
September 16, 2003
"A University of Oregon sociology professor is claiming defamation
and seeking $1.1 million from the authors of a column published in the
New York Post last year that labeled him as anti-Semitic and listed
him among six "left-wing extremists" who "indoctrinate students" through
their teaching. Adjunct professor Douglas Card names as defendants Daniel
Pipes, a Middle East scholar and controversial Bush administration
appointee to the U.S. Institute of Peace, and Pipes' research assistant,
Jonathan Schanzer, a specialist in radical Islamic movements. The
June 25, 2002, op-ed piece remains in publication on the Web site of Campus
Watch, a group Pipes formed through his Philadelphia think tank, Middle
East Forum, to monitor and critique the teaching of Middle East issues.
The column, titled "Extremists on Campus," accuses Card of describing
Israel as "a terrorist state" and Israelis as "baby killers" in his course.
The column also claims that Card insists that his students agree in a
final exam with his view that Israel "stole land." The column claims that
"leftist activism that too often passes for Middle East scholarship" creates
a wave of "verbal and physical attacks" on campuses and cites four examples
- none at the UO. In his lawsuit, Card says Pipes and Schanzer
are wrong about how he teaches and their column is false and defamatory.
The suit, filed by Eugene lawyer David Force, says Pipes and Schanzer
refused to retract their statements after Card provided proof they were
wrong. Card also claims Pipes and Schanzer tried to force
him to provide names of his students and contents of his class examinations
in violation of UO policy ... [I]n a letter to the editor of Jewish Review
in Portland last year, Pipes and Schanzer stood behind their
article. They said it was based on a complaint by one student, who got
an A in Card's class. They also said character references Card collected
from local Jewish leaders were "irrelevant" to their criticism. Pipes,
an outspoken critic of radical Islamic groups who espouse violence, drew
criticism in the U.S. Senate after President Bush nominated him to one
of eight seats on the U.S. Institute of Peace. Critics delayed his confirmation
to investigate whether Pipes is anti-Muslim. However, Bush used
his presidential power to appoint Pipes without Senate confirmation during
the August recess."
My Life as an “Anti-Semite”,
by Alexander Cockburn, [exerpt here from an posted for Counterpunch
subscribers], CounterPunch, September
24, 2003
"Right in the wake of then-House majority leader Dick Armey’s explicit
call in mid-2002 for two million Palestinians to be booted out of the
West Bank, and East Jerusalem and Gaza as well, came yet one more of those
earnest articles accusing a vague entity called “the left “ of anti-Semitism.
This one was in Salon, by a man called Dennis Fox, identified as
an associate professor of legal studies and psychology at the University
of Illinois. Salon titled Fox’s contribution, " The shame
of the pro-Palestinian left:Ignorance and anti-Semitism are undercutting
the moral legitimacy of Israel’s critics." Over
the past 20 years I’ve learned there’s a quick way of figuring out just
how badly Israel is behaving. You see a brisk uptick in the number of
articles here accusing the left of anti-Semitism. These articles
adopt varying strategies, but the most obvious one is that nowhere in
them is there much sign that the author feels it necessary to concede
that Israel is a racist state whose obvious and
provable intent is to continue to steal Palestinian land, oppress Palestinians,
herd them into smaller and smaller enclaves and ultimately drive them
into the sea or Lebanon or Jordan or Dearborn or the space in Dallas-Fort
Worth airport between the third and fourth runways (the bold Armey plan)
. Eschewing these realities, the author feels entirely at liberty to stigmatize
the left as stained with anti-Semitism.
The real problem is most Jews here just don’t like hearing bad things
said about Israel, same way they don’t like reading articles about the
Jewish lobby here. Mention the lobby and someone will rush into print
saying "Cockburn toys with the old anti-Semitic canard that the Jews
control the press". Back in the 1970s when muteness on the
topic of how Israel was treating Palestinians was near total in the United
States, I’d get the “anti-Semite “ slur hurled at me once in a while for
writing about such nono stuff as Begin’s fascist roots in Betar,
or the torture of Palestinians by Israel’s security forces. I minded then,
as I mind now, but overuse has drained the term of much clout. The other
day I even got accused of anti-Semitism for mentioning that the Jews founded
Hollywood, which they most certainly did, as Neil Gabler recently
recounted in a very funny, pro-Semitic book. The encouraging fact is that
despite the best efforts of the Southern Poverty Law Center to prove that
the Nazis are about to march down Main Street, there’s remarkably little
anti-Semitism in the US, and none that I’ve ever been able to detect on
the American left, which is of course amply stocked
with Jews. It’s comical to find people like Fox trudging all the
way back to the 60s to dig up the necessary anti-Semitic jibe. Being
called an anti-Semite these days isn’t what it once was. The term has
been relentlessly cheapened ... I saw 2002 as a year when the Israel
lobby was worrying that the grip of the gag rule might be loosening a
trifle ... The parallel gag rule these days concerns Israel, a collective
agreement by our legislators and the larger political community that any
discussion of the conduct of any government of Israel, of the relationship
of the United States to Israel, of the power of the pro-Israel lobby in
the United States, be kept as near to zero as is possible. In the 1970s
and early 1980s when I began writing on these issues, the gag rule was
riding high, amid general agreement in respectable circles that Israeli
Prime Minister Golda Meir was on the money when she declared flatly
that there was no such thing as a Palestinian ... As the dust rose above
demolished homes on the West Bank and the enduring terror of the occupation
provoked retaliatory terror in the form of the ghastly, futile suicide
bombings, the predictable warnings against anti-Semitism began to appear
in the liberal and left press. Then, it’s clear, the
Israel lobby decided to enforce the gag rule, by working successfully
for the ouster of two members of Congress who had defied it. A
torrent of money from out of state American Jewish organizations smashed
Earl Hilliard, the first elected black congressperson in Alabama since
Reconstruction, and you could have heard a mouse cough. Hilliard had made
the fatal error of calling for some measure of evenhandedness in the Middle
East. So he was targeted by AIPAC and the others. Down he went, defeated
in the Democratic primary by Artur Davis, a black lawyer who obediently
sang for his supper on the topic of Israel. Then it was Cynthia McKinney’s
turn. An excellent liberal black congresswoman, McKinney hadn’t been cowed
by the Israel-right-or-wrong lobby and had called for a proper debate
on the Middle East, and for a real examination of the lead-up to 9/11.
The sky duly fell in on her. American Jewish money showered upon her opponent,
Denise Majette. Buckets of sewage were poured over McKinney’s head in
the Washington Post, and Cynthia Tucker, the black editorial inhouse
pundit at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, declared McKinney to
be “a fringe lunatic, well outside the congressional mainstream “. Tucker
asserted McKinney is “incapable of aiding any cause “ and had the final
pious effrontery to declare:”The plight of the Palestinians and their
desire for an independent homeland is a serious cause deserving of thoughtful,
mainstream advocates. Hilliard wasn’t one and neither is McKinney"
... It’s supposedly the third rail in political and cultural life here
even to have a discussion of Zionist influence in the media. Obviously,
Jews don’t “control “ the media. All the same, Jewish families are proprietors
of some of the most powerful newspapers in the country. Is it likely that
this has no bearing on their coverage of the Middle East? So, it’s reasonable
to point out that Jewish families control the New York Times and
Washington Post and to put up for discussion whether this affects
the editorial stance of both newspapers."

Jewish power and influence? You're an "anti-semite."]
Blame
the Jews,
by Ilana Mercer, World Net Daily,
September 26, 2003
"Although the administration's Jewish neoconservatives share the
same policy positions as their gentile compatriots, they are being portrayed
– at times subtly, at times not so subtly – as the instigators of the
administration's blunders, but more seriously as being agents of Ariel
Sharon and his Likud Party, essentially doing Israel's bidding. The
chatterboxes promoting this wild-eyed view will concede that most rational
people at the time saw through the lies that took us to war. They imply,
however, that this was beyond Mr. Bush's ken and responsibilities. Neither
was it, apparently, his duty to abide by his campaign commitment to a
humble foreign policy. Mr. Bush was simply "bamboozled" – this manifestly
neoconservative (and unrepentant) president is not responsible for his
blind quest for power. In other words, the Jewish neoconservatives ate
the president's homework ... Kevin MacDonald, at least, comes straight
out with it. Instead of the cowardly, infantile, and frankly nauseating
nudge-nudge, wink-wink insinuations about Jews, he offers grand conspiracy.
Jewish neocons recruited all the non-Jews and now manipulate them like
marionettes. No mortal (read gentile) could possibly resist a Jewish intellectual
– that a cabal of Jews allegedly hijacked the administration is because
gullible gentiles are powerless in the face of Jewish persuasion, or so
it goes according to MacDonald's unique Science of Jews. The argument
that Jews act collectively to promote interests which are exclusively
Jewish, also means, says MacDonald, that Jewish neoconservatives are in
cahoots with the larger "organized Jewish community," all working to promote
a Jewish agenda that is "arguably only tenuously related to the interests
of the U.S." MacDonald has proof ... All in all, the paleoconservatives'
attempts to blame Jews for pervasive gentile madness, such as Mr. Bush's
war in Iraq, his lingering presence in Afghanistan, multiculturalism and
"mass, non-traditional-immigration," is too silly to sustain, but, at
the same time, a little sinister. (Next, MacDonald will hold Jews responsible
for loading the Episcopal Church with homosexuals.) About the Jewish psyche,
MacDonald shows complete ignorance: Justified or not, Jews are petrified
of anti-Semitism. I used to think they were mistaken. I still believe
Jews express this deep-seated fear shamefully and inappropriately. But
in light of recent scapegoating, I am no longer sure about anti-Semitism's
obsolescence. The MacDonald Fe-Fi-Fo-Fum Science of sniffing out Jewish
intellectual habits makes me (as a Jew) wary of mentioning Sigmund Freud
in any capacity. (Certainly not much store should be put on his theories
about human nature.) Nevertheless, there's no harm in a joke. When Freud
was once quizzed about his incessant cigar smoking, he humorously chose
to sidestep what was, according to the very theory he invented, a manifestation
of his own oral fixation. He replied: "sometimes a cigar is just a cigar."
And sometimes, anti-Semitism is just anti-Semitism."
Comment
on Ilana Mercer's 'Blame the Jews',
By Kevin MacDonald, World Net Daily, September
29, 2003
"Columnist Jon Dougherty, in a notably wise and judicious article
on Friday, deplored the fact that: In 2003 America, in order to silence
their critics an increasing number of people no longer feel it's necessary
to debate with facts to prove their point. Instead, they choose to shout
down detractors with infantile rhetoric, name-calling and insults
... And Dougherty had the considerable courage to name the leaders in
this trend: Abraham Foxman and the Anti-Defamation League. As I
noted in my commentary in Vdare.com, the ADL has had no hesitation
in pinning the label of "anti-Semite" on anyone who notices the Jewish
backgrounds, the long history of pro-Israel activism, and close personal
and professional relationships among the neocon cabal in the Bush administration.
Ironically, a classic example of this "infantile rhetoric" appeared on
WND the same day: Ilana Mercer's column denouncing as "anti-Semitism"
my discussion of neoconservatism on Vdare.com. Mercer provides
an absurd caricature of my views on neoconservatism and other Jewish intellectual
and political movements. She says that I depict the "gullible gentiles"
in these movements as "marionettes" manipulated by wily Jews. Where do
I say anything resembling that? In fact, I think that the motives of these
non-Jews are a complicated mix of genuine belief and personal ambition.
(The attractions of the neocon infrastructure in the media, politics and
academe are obvious enough.) But my point remains: The founders and the
core members of the movement are Jews who see their involvement as furthering
Jewish interests. There is nothing inherently implausible about hypothesizing
that minority activist movements like neoconservatism would be willing
to recruit some majority group members. It makes excellent marketing sense
to have at least some spokespeople who resemble the target audience. I
have found numerous other examples in my work. Mercer also argues that
the elected and senior appointed Bush administration officials, in the
main not Jewish, ought to be held responsible for the "administration's
blunders." This is true, but it does not in the least delegitimize consideration
of what motivated the administration's neoconservative members and friends
– who generally are Jewish. Revealingly, Mercer places the term "Jewish
ethnic interests" in quotes – as if to question that there is such a thing
as Jewish interests at all. This is the core of the problem. We all accept
that African-American leaders like Jesse Jackson are pursuing their perceived
ethnic interests. No one would deny that the Mexican-American pro-immigration
activists advocating open borders are pursuing their ethnic interests.
But Jews are somehow exempted from anything so base as even having ethnic
interests ... I am a professional academic. My work has focused on the
influence of the Jewish identity on intellectual, social and political
life. Others laboring in parallel rows in the same vineyard chose to consider
other ethnic groups. They are never attacked. Ilana Mercer reminds
us that Freud said "sometimes a cigar is just a cigar." Why is not scholarship
sometimes only scholarship?"
More merde
from Mercer,
By HENRY GALLAGHER FIELDS, The Last Ditch,
October 9, 2003
"As we used to say in the distant days of my childhood after uttering
an obscenity: Pardon my French. But since TLD doesn't tolerate four-letter
Anglo-Saxonisms, merde is the only appropriate description of Ilana
Mercer's continual whining about "anti-Semitism." Yet another obnoxious
shovelful is available for inspection in her recent article at WorldNetDaily,
"Blame the Jews." In her role as P.C. police-yenta of the Right,
Miss Mercer is determined to ensure that criticism of the war on
Iraq stays within permissible parameters. One may attack the war as having
been misguided or even malevolently mongered. One may even lambaste the
neocons, as Miss Mercer is wont to do herself. But one dasn't say
that the neocons engineered the war. Likewise, it is absolutely verboten
to imply that the neocons are motivated by any Jewish ethnic loyalty to
Israel. That would be equivalent to whispering the disreputable charge
of dual loyalty, whereas we know that the loyalty of all American Jews
is absolutely singular. To chastise those guilty of the above-mentioned
sins, Miss Mercer swings the sharp-edged scimitar of "anti-Semitism."
In fact, in "Blame the Jews" Miss Mercer largely abstains from all the
tiresome marshaling of logic and facts that so hampers fussier writers,
and instead relies simply on imputing anti-Semitism all over the place.
Essentially, she depends on what Ayn Rand termed "the argument
from intimidation." (Miss Rand was certainly one to know about
verbal intimidation, since it was, ahem, a tool she did not always eschew.)
And the charge of anti-Semitism is the hydrogen bomb of intimidation —
just go ask those who have been sacked, blacklisted, fined, excluded from
whole countries, mobbed, or even jailed as a result of being so branded.
Like the night owl's piercing scream that paralyzes its prey with fear,
so the screech of "anti-Semite!" paralyzes its victims into silence ...
Now it doesn't take a rocket scientist, as everyone is always saying these
days, to see that an American removal of all regimes in the Middle East
hostile to Israel would serve the interests of Israel. In fact, there's
only one fellow I know of who lacks the mental capacity to discern that
obvious fact — and he currently resides in a large pale palace in downtown
Washington, D.C."
[A new twist to the "anti-Semitic" charge, which is omnipresent,
everywhere. The Philadelphia Inquirer is "anti-Semitic"
because this Jewish guy doesn't like what a rabbi had to say in its pages.]
Has
the Philly Inquirer Become a Rag?,
by Jack Engelhard, Israel National News,
Oct 9, 2003
"I hate it when people refer to the Philadelphia Inquirer
as anti-Semitic. I used to write for the paper. I had friends there, most
since gone, retired, or even worse. New people have taken over, at the
Inquirer and everywhere; idealists who learned from Woodward and Bernstein
(down goes Nixon!) that you can change the world ... They have no questions,
as it was in the past – who, what, where, when, why. But they have all
the answers. For they are idealists. Stalin and Hitler were also idealists.
Even Osama bin Laden is an idealist. He has his own vision of a perfect
world. Idealists always have a plan, and as with those tyrants just mentioned,
it usually starts with the Jew ... [L]et's just pick out something from
the paper I'm reading today. Here goes the headline on page two: “ISRAEL
TO BUILD MORE HOMES IN WEST BANK DESPITE U.S. PLAN”. Sounds innocuous.
But how quickly we are reminded that Israel is in violation ... Still,
I have been reluctant to accuse the Inquirer of anti-Semitism ... Back
to the question of the Inquirer and anti-Semitism. I wish I could say
no. But then something happened. I usually skip the editorial pages. I
don't need another lesson from Trudy Rubin and others who think
exactly like her. But this day – several weeks ago – I wasn't fast enough,
and my eye caught something unusual. Virtually the entire op-ed page was
devoted to a single opinion, a single writer, a particular byline. Who
but the Pope or the Dalai Lama deserved so much valuable real estate?
This opinion-maker must be sensationally deserving. So I checked the byline
and it was... no, I won't give the name ... In old-world parlance, he
is a meshimid, one who hates his own flesh, his own kind; in short, he
is a poster-boy of the self-hating Jew. Yet, the Inquirer honors this
fake with the courtesy title "rabbi", and further honors him by letting
him vent and prattle, and in such op-ed opulence! I can only imagine readers,
innocent of this counterfeit journalist, and innocent of the Inquirer's
agenda, quoting this madman to further poison Israel. For the word came
from the Inquirer, and from a rabbi! Is it possible that the Inquirer
was exploited by this fake? Or is it possible that the Inquirer exploited
its readers by planting this fake, knowingly, approvingly, deceitfully,
acrimoniously. It is doubtful that the Inquirer would publish the KKK's
David Duke to give "the other side" on race relations – or has David Duke
also morphed into "rabbi"? Is the Philadelphia Inquirer anti-Semitic?
I only know what I read in the papers."

WHISTLEBLOWER
MAGAZINE. THE NEW ANTI-SEMITISM,
World Net Daily, October 14, 2003
"'This is the scariest time for Jews since the Holocaust," warns
talk-show host and national columnist Dennis Prager in the spine-tingling
October issue of WND's acclaimed Whistleblower magazine, titled
"THE NEW ANTI-SEMITISM." Indeed, ever since the Sept. 11, 2001 terror
attacks – blamed by many in the Arab world on Jews, even though all 19
hijackers were Arab Muslims – a virulent strain of anti-Semitism has been
spreading wildly, not only throughout the Muslim-Arab Mideast, but in
Europe and even in America: Major newspapers throughout the Middle East
and elsewhere routinely publish stories claiming "the Jews" torture and
kill children to harvest their blood for use in holiday pastries. Palestinian
children are taught, virtually from birth, to hate "the Jews" and to look
forward to blowing themselves up while killing as many Jews as possible.
Police in Germany recently busted large numbers of neo-Nazis who planned
to bomb a Jewish worship place Nov. 9, to "commemorate" the 65th anniversary
of one of the most stunning examples of anti-Semitism in the 20th century:
Kristallnacht ... So-called Christians on the "radical-right" fringe condemn
"the Jews" for supposedly killing Jesus Christ, pretending to be God's
chosen, corrupting the government, news media, entertainment and banking
industries – and in general, for attempting to rule the world. Liberals
and leftists, traditional champions of the underdog, engage en masse in
a form of fashionable, politically correct anti-Semitism by condemning
Israel's "racist," "apartheid," "Nazi" regime, portraying the tiny Jewish
state (with 0.1 percent of the Mideast land mass) as the brutal aggressor
Goliath, while casting the Arab world (with 99.9 percent of the land,
and all of the oil) as David. Open anti-Semitism is increasingly common
and blatant on America's college campuses, as at the University of Chicago
when recently a car drove up to a Jewish student and a passenger screamed:
"Death to Jews. Hitler should have finished you all off when he had the
chance," and fliers posted in a dorm to publicize a pro-Israel rally were
defaced with obscenities and vile, anti-Semitic suggestions."

Jewish
asylum seeker avoids deportation,
by JOHN ROBERTSON LAW, The Scotsman (Octdober
17, 2003
"A Jewish asylum seeker and his family have won an 11th-hour court
order to stop the Home Office’s plans to remove them from Scotland to
the Ukraine. Aleksander Loban, 30, and his wife and son, ten, arrived
in the United Kingdom in August and have been held at the Dungavel detention
centre in Lanarkshire after being removed from their home in Glasgow.
The Court of Session heard that Mr Loban was Jewish and had fled
the Ukraine because of a fear of persecution. It
was said that anti-Semitism was a problem in his homeland. After
initially going to Israel, the family entered Britain but Mr Loban was
refused leave to remain and immigration officials served papers on the
family to have them removed today. Alan Melvin-Farr, counsel for Mr Loban,
asked Lord Abernethy to suspend the removal directions, until a petition
for judicial review could be heard. He said Mr
Loban had renounced his citizenship of the Ukraine, and was now an
Israeli national. In the circumstances, he said it would be unreasonable
to send Mr Loban and his family to Kiev, as the Home Office proposed.
Ailsa Carmichael, counsel for the Home Office, said Mr Loban
had presented a Ukrainian passport on entering the United Kingdom.
He did not have an Israeli passport, and the only valid travel documents
which the Home Office had for him were issued in the Ukraine. Lord Abernethy
said it appeared to have been accepted during consideration of Mr Loban’s
application for asylum that he was now an Israeli national, and that there
was a doubt about whether he remained a Ukrainian citizen. In those circumstances,
he said it was difficult to understand why the Home Office intended to
remove him to the Ukraine rather than to Israel. The judge said he had
to take a practical, human approach to the matter and decided that until
the issues in the case could be fully resolved, he should grant an order
which would stop the removal of the family to the Ukraine. Last night,
Rosie Kane, the Scottish Socialist Party
MSP, who has supported the family, said: "I am delighted they are
not to be dragged away to an aeroplane and further traumatised. They have
lived previously in the Sighthill area of Glasgow and have no history
of wanting or attempting to abscond."
[Easterbrook is already kissing Jewish butt left and right to keep
his job. You can't publicly speak the truth about Jews in any major news
forum and expect anything but attack.]
If
it sounds like anti-Semitism, maybe it is,
by TIM RUTTEN, Los Angeles Times, October
18, 2003
"Earlier this week, Gregg Easterbrook, a senior editor at the New
Republic, ignited a blistering controversy when he criticized those
responsible for the release of Quentin Tarantino's violent hit film, "Kill
Bill Vol. 1," singling out Miramax Co-Chairman Harvey Weinstein
and Disney Chairman Michael Eisner, who were described as "Jewish
executives" who "worship money above all else." Easterbrook's comments
were distasteful and disturbing in their own right. But the affair also
is notable because his charges appeared in the unedited blog he writes
for the New Republic's online edition, and most of the reaction
to them has appeared on similar sites of other prominent Internet commentators,
including the novelist and screenwriter Roger L. Simon,
whose blog is widely read in Hollywood. Moreover, in an apology posted
in the New Republic Online Thursday and in an interview Friday, Easterbrook
attributed the furor, at least in part, to the peculiar perils of blogging,
a relatively new form of personal journalism that has captured the imagination
of many involved in the coverage of politics and culture. "I stand by
my original thoughts, which are important and true, but the language I
used to express them was careless and bad," the veteran magazine writer
said in the interview. "It was crummy work on my part." In his apology,
he described himself as guilty of "mangling words" and speculated that
"maybe this is an object lesson in the new blog reality. I worked on this
alone and posted the piece. Twenty minutes after I pressed 'send,' the
entire world had read it. When I reread my own words and beheld how I'd
written words that could be misunderstood, I felt awful." Easterbrook,
a Presbyterian, is one of the rare Washington-based journalists who has
written explicitly about the importance of religious belief in his life.
His initial essay was a forthright attack on the brutality of Tarantino's
film, which pays homage to Asian martial arts films in an elaborate —
and bloody — revenge fantasy. Disney is the parent company of Miramax,
which released the film, and Easterbrook extended his criticism to executives
at the head of both companies. "Set aside what it says about Hollywood
that today even Disney thinks what the public needs is ever-more-graphic
depictions of killing the innocent as cool amusement," he wrote. "Disney's
CEO, Michael Eisner, is Jewish; the chief of Miramax, Harvey
Weinstein, is Jewish. Yes, there are plenty of Christian and other
Hollywood executives who worship money above all else, promoting for profit
the adulation of violence. Does that make it right for Jewish executives
to worship money above all else by promoting for profit the adulation
of violence? Recent European history alone ought to cause Jewish
executives to experience second thoughts about glorifying the killing
of the helpless as a fun lifestyle choice." These days, that is about
as clear an example of objective anti-Semitism as one is likely to encounter
in polite rhetorical society. Over the next 48 hours, the Web's equivalent
of the roof fell in on Easterbrook. Simon — who shared an Oscar
nomination for his adaptation of Isaac Singer's "Enemies, a Love Story"
— fiercely denounced the remarks and, shortly, had posted more than 100
responses, mostly from readers from within the film industry. Disney
and Miramax issued a statement saying, "It is sad that these terrible
stereotypes persist and that these comments are receiving a wider platform."
Easterbrook's friend and New Republic colleague, Leon Wieseltier — the
magazine's longtime literary editor — agreed that "insofar as Gregg's
comments impute Jewish motives for everything that Jews do, insofar as
they suggest that everything any Jew does is intrinsically a Jewish thing,
they are objectively anti-Semitic. But Gregg Easterbrook is not an anti-Semite
and the suggestion that the New Republic is in any way receptive to anti-Semitism
is the most ludicrous thing I've heard since the election of Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Gregg typed his way into a wildly offensive formulation, into classic
anti-Semitic code." Part of that, said Wieseltier, can be attributed "to
the hubris of this whole blogging enterprise ... Easterbrook's case is
not helped by other aspects of his apology. In one, he recounts how he
joined a particular Presbyterian congregation specifically because it
shares facilities and finances with a synagogue. Experienced readers will
find it a bit like the old "some of my best friends are " argument. Worse,
in his apology and in an interview with the New York Times Thursday,
Easterbrook pointed to a column he wrote last week, assailing Mel Gibson
for a history of violent filmmaking while defending his controversial
re-creation of the Passion. "I raised the exact same question about a
Christian," Easterbrook said Thursday, and "there was not a single peep."
In that same essay, however, he attacked Catholic biblical scholars who
have criticized Gibson's script as anti-Semitic, as well as the Anti-Defamation
League, which has expressed similar reservations. "The ADL has a financial
interest in accusing Gibson of anti-Semitism," he wrote, "as the organization
raises money using this charge how better to get publicity and pry open
checkbooks." Friday, the writer said that neither those remarks nor those
to the New York Times were meant "to suggest a conspiracy or anything
like that. I was simply making a statement of fact."

is focused on"anti-Semitism."]
THE
JEWISH QUESTION IN THE RUSSIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH,
by Gregory Benevitch, ocf.org
"ANTI-SEMITISM IN THE RUSSIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH. The problem
of anti-Semitism in the Russian Orthodox Church as in society in general
has various dimensions. One of them is the sociological dimension. I would
like to start with this aspect of the problem to clear up some possible
misunderstanding on this point on the part of the Western audience. Let
me cite the general conclusion of the article by Vladimir Borzenco, 'Anti-Semitism
and Orthodoxy in Russian today (a sociologist's view)', written in 1992,
to be published by Keston Institute in Religion, State and Society, vol.
23 N 1 1995: "The general level of anti-Semitism in Russia is lower than
the average in comparison with developed European countries". According
to Borzenko, who supports his statement through the results of serious
sociological surveys, "In practically every category and in practically
every question there was less evidence of anti-Semitism among Orthodox
subgroups than among atheists. Not more than around 10 per cent of the
Russian population as a whole could be said to be anti-Semitic." What
is there then to discuss if the situation is so good? I do not think that
Borsenko's results are wrong, however, Russia is not a Western country
... Now I would like to draw your attention to quite a different problem.
Yes, it is a matter of fact that maybe no where in the world is anti-Semitism
so openly aggressive as in modern Russian Orthodoxy. However, one may
easily find another striking tendency. I do not know if any Christian
body in the world can boast of so great a number of Jews becoming Christians
than the Russian Orthodox Church. I do not like counting but I may testify
that I personally know a lot of Jews who became, and are becoming Christians
in this Church. Father Alexander Men is the most famous one. There
are many Jews among priests and monks as well as among the best theologians.
Life in Russia now is quite hard and Jews can easily emigrate to Israel
or to America and lead a much better life. Those who stay in Russia, however,
often have some spiritual reasons. The strongest one is their Christianity
and their love for the Russian spiritual and cultural tradition which
is inseparable from Russian Orthodoxy. It seems that the number of Jews
who became Christians in Russia is so great that it makes Russians themselves
jealous: something opposite to the process described by Apostle Paul in
Rom.11.11 ... Russians who find these Jews who became Christians in their,
as they sometimes erroneously think, national Church are not always happy.
Hence we can find a slogan: A Jewish Church for Jews. This is the title
of an article by N.Dubrovin published in the right-wing nationalist news-paper
Zemschina N 99 ... The only thing which we know for certain that there
can be only one Israel, one people of God, as there is only one God, and
our Church understands Herself as a witness for this oneness. In other
words, we believe that only in Christ the very opposition of Jewish Israel
and non-Jewish Gentiles which is the main source of enmity between them,
is abolished. It is abolished in the New and yet Old Israel of God which
is the Church of both Jews and Non-Jews who believe in Christ. Instead
of Moltmann's phrase: "Christendom can gain Salvation only together with
Israel"/ibid. p 90/, I would say, "Christendom can
gain Salvation only being Israel", and I would add: "Jews can gain
Salvation only being that same Israel." There cannot be two Israels or
Israel and the Church, as the "theology after Auschwitz" tries to argue."
Evolutionary
Psychology's Anti-Semite,
by Judith Shulevitz, Slate, January
24, 2000
"Irving's other expert is an American professor named Kevin MacDonald,
whose ideas about Jews have almost no relevance to the case but represent
the broadest, ugliest, and most vicious anti-Semitism passing for scholarship
in this country today. We know more or less what McDonald will say on
the stand, because he recently put a copy of his written statement to
the British court on the Internet.The bulk of MacDonald's testimony will
be a summary of his three books about Jews: A People That Shall Dwell
Alone: Judaism as a Group Evolutionary Strategy (Praeger, 1994); Separation
and Discontents: Toward an Evolutionary Theory of Anti-Semitism (Praeger,
1998); and The Culture of Critique: An Evolutionary Analysis of Jewish
Involvement in Twentieth-Century Intellectual and Political Movements
(Praeger, 1998). Here is what he says in them--in Culturebox's words,
not his. MacDonald's central thesis is that Judaism is best understood
not as a religion but as a blueprint for an experiment in eugenics--a
"group evolutionary strategy," he calls it--designed to maximize a single
trait: intelligence. For thousands of years, he says, Jews have separated
themselves from their neighbors, choosing to confine themselves to a closed
society with strict rules against marrying outside the group. They have
lived by policies of extreme group loyalty and obedience to rabbinical
authority, which served to maintain their racial purity; and they practiced
low-birth-rate, high-investment parenting, which is the royal road to
a high group I.Q. They conferred social status (which brings along with
it the most desirable women) on men according to their brilliance--indeed,
says MacDonald, study of the Talmud was nothing more than a casuistic
exercise meant to weed out the dim. Eventually, their highly developed
genes for mental and verbal acuity, as well as their social aggression
(also carefully bred-in), gave the Jews powerful tools that enable them
to dominate neighboring ethnic groups in the endless war of all against
all for food and resources. In his second book, MacDonald
explains why Jews have encountered so much anti-Semitism for so many years:
It was justified. Gentiles reacted to Jews the way any group of
animals on the veldt would when confronted with a group of superior animals
likely to challenge them successfully for control of the available resources--they
tried to destroy the Jews before the Jews destroyed them. Even the most
extreme forms of anti-Semitism, such as Nazism, can be seen not as aberrations
but as "a mirror image" of Judaism, with its emphasis on creating a master
race. (MacDonald does not deny that the Holocaust occurred, but he appears
to think it was rooted in an immutable biological chain reaction that
the Jews set off.) Faced with the hatred of gentiles, Jews have often
resorted to a "strategy of crypsis"--that is, they have pretended not
to be Jews. Do the Jews themselves realize what they're up to?

Germany's
Jewish revival 'a sign of normality',
By Kate Connolly. Telegraph (UK), October
21, 2003
"Germany's Jewish population, already the fastest-growing in the
world, is expected to soar by a third in the next two years, the head
of the country's Jewish community said yesterday. Paul Spiegel,
leader of the Central Council of Jews, forecast that the there would be
around 130,000 Jews in Germany by 2005, and welcomed the increase as a
sign that Germany was "on the way to normality". "Today we have 83 Jewish
communities with 100,000 members and synagogues are being built all around
the country," Mr Spiegel said. "We could not have dreamt of this
when we returned after the Second World War." Most Jewish immigrants to
Germany arrive from countries in the former Soviet Union, such as Kazakhstan
and Uzbekistan, where anti-Semitism is rife. In 1950, following the devastation
of the Holocaust, only 15,000 Jews lived in Germany compared to 560,000
before Hitler came to power. But since 1990 persecuted Jews from the former
Soviet Union have been invited to live and work in Germany, and it now
has the third-largest Jewish community in Europe after France and Britain.
The state offers arriving Jews generous benefits
and the chance of higher education. Applicants can have free German language
lessons in their own countries while their cases are considered. But critics
within the Jewish community have often accused the newcomers of "diluting"
the faith, citing the numbers who have never stepped foot in a synagogue.
An illegal trade in forged Jewish birth certificates has added to charges
that many who arrive are not Jews. Mr Spiegel said many Jews chose
Germany because they had to fight anti-Semitism in their homelands. "The
thinking is that a country with the history that Germany has is unlikely
to let anti-Semitism become a danger again, so that is why they come to
Germany," he said."

group calls for boycott of investment in Malaysia,
New Straits Times (Malaysia), Oct 22, 2003
"A leading US-based Jewish lobby group has condemned Prime Minister
Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad as a “serial anti-Semite” and called for
a boycott of tourism and investment in Malaysia. The influential Simon
Wiesenthal Centre launched a scathing counterattack on the outgoing Prime
Minister after he branded Jews "arrogant" and accused them of controlling
the world by proxy. The centre called on investors
and tourists to avoid Malaysia until it became clear that the leaders
who will follow him after he retires do not share his views. "It
cannot be business as usual as long as the head of Malaysia continues
to validate the ugly racist hate of anti-Semitism that invites antiJewish
hate crimes and terrorism," said the centre's Rabbi Abraham Cooper.
"Dr Mahathir's serial anti-Semitism has now moved the most virulent anti-Semitic
stereotypes into the mainstream of the body-politik of the Islamic and
Asian communities," he added. But Dr Mahathir stepped up his attacks on
Jews in an interview on the fringes of the Asia-Pacific Economic Summit
on Tuesday. "The Europeans killed six million Jews out of 12 million.
But today the Jews rule this world by proxy," he said at last week's summit
of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC) in Malaysia. "The
reaction of the world shows that they (Jews) do control the world," Dr
Mahathir said in an interview published in the Bangkok Post. Cooper
also accused the world community, with the exception of the United States,
of meeting Dr Mahathir's remarks with "silent indifference and in the
case of the recent OIC Summit, standing ovation".

Lithuanian
Jewish community blames LNK television for anti-Semitism,
Interfax, October 23, 2003
"The Jewish Community of Lithuania (JCL) has demanded that the private
TV channel LNK stop the "anti- Semitic propaganda" in its programs,
JCL Chairman Simonas Alperavicius told Interfax on Wednesday.
JCL has sent LNK's managers, Swedish media group Bonnier,
which owns the station, and the Swedish media community an open letter
saying that "the authors of the humorous program Dviracio Zynios
(Bicycle News), pretending to engage in parodies, incites spectators
against the Jewish people," Alperavicius said. This was especially
clear in the program dealing with the September visit of Israeli Knesset
Chairman Reuven Rivlin to Vilnius. "When the humorous issues of
this TV channel concern the Jewish theme, a character parodying a Jew
is always presented as a swindler or thief trying to get rich in a dishonest
way - how long are we going to tolerate this?" Alperavicius said.
Rivlin's statements in Lithuania "have evoked a tide of intolerance
and anti-Semitism, and websites have seen over four thousand anti-Semitic
remarks that were beyond any standards of civilized dialogue," he said.
"In this situation, the escalation of negative stereotypes on a TV channel's
programs could influence the state of mind in unhealthy people and encourage
some politicians to make irresponsible statements or even verbal attacks
against Lithuanian citizens of Jewish origin," the letter says. Israeli
Knesset speaker Reuven Rivlin, during his September visit, was
categorical about the responsibility of Lithuanians for slaughtering Jews
during the Nazi occupation, which caused a controversial response. In

Columnist
Fired Over Anti-Jewish Remarks,
1010 Wins, Oct 23, 2003
"Cable sports network ESPN has fired Gregg Easterbook as a
freelance contributor to its Web site. Easterbook was canned after he
wrote that the producers of the movie "Kill Bill" were -- in his words
"Jewish executives" who "worship money above all else." Easterbrook apologized
for the remarks last week, as has The New Republic magazine, which
posted Easterbrook's comments in an online column on its Web site. In
a statement, the sports network said Easterbrook had made comments "that
were highly offensive and intolerable." Easterbrook apologized for the
remark last week and said he was guilty of "mangling words." In his last
ESPN column, Easterbrook was critical of "Kill Bill" and its director,
Quentin Tarantino, saying they glorified violence. He criticized the studio
that released the film, Miramax, and its parent, Walt Disney
Co., saying it was "wallowing in gore" for profit. He noted that Disney
and Miramax are both run by Jewish executives, Michael Eisner and
Harvey Weinstein, respectively. "Yes, there are plenty of Christian
and other Hollywood executives who worship money above all else, promoting
for profit the adulation of violence," Easterbrook wrote in the column.
"Does that make it right for Jewish executives to worship money above
all else, by promoting for profit the adulation of violence?"
Don King sues over anti-Semitism claim,
by Leon Symons, Jewish Chronicle (UK,
paper copy), 2003
"Colorful American boxing promoter Don King [who is African American]
has filed a High Court action over the allegations of anti-Semitism
published on the Internet. The claims were made in two interviews to boxing
websites by Judd Burstein, and American Jewish lawyer who
represents world heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis ... Burstein
objected to King calling him a 'shyster lawyer' and was angered that one
of King's in-house lawyers sent him a letter on the erev Yom Kippur demanding
that he reply during the fast ... King donated $100,000
to the [Jewish] Kisharon school in Golders Green and was a guest of honor
at one of its dinners. He has also given to the Lubavitch organisation
[Chabad] in New York."

An
Internet Version of the Nazi Yellow Star THE IVORY TOWER,
By GIL TROY, [Jewish] Forward, October
17, 2003
"One American history student recently wrote me that, following a
link from the Web log Little Green Footballs, he noticed my "name
on a list of 'known Jews.' Does it disturb or frighten you to be bluntly
characterized as a 'Zionist American Jew,'" he asked, "or do you take
a degree of pride in your apparent notoriety among Palestinian activists?"
Clicking onto the Web log I discovered a site in high dudgeon. Over 280
people had responded to the news that "Students at University College
Cork in Ireland have put together a list of well-known authors and speakers
who are Jews." Calling it a "shameful database," Little Green Footballs
quoted one reader who pronounced it the "Internet version of the Nazi
yellow star." A few clicks later, I found the "Cork Palestine Solidarity
Campaign" Web site listing 149 American Jews, from Elliot Abrams
to Mortimer Zuckerman. Most names were designated "American Jew";
23 were "anti-Zionist American Jew"; 18 of us, including, Abrams, Zuckerman,
Wolf Blitzer, Arthur Hertzberg, Richard Perle and Paul
Wolfowitz, were labeled "Zionist American Jew." A few merited their
own categories, including the "Hardline Zionist Israeli American Jew"
Martin Kramer, the "Moderate Zionist American Jew" Michael Lerner
and the "neo-con American Jew" Martin Peretz. I first thought of
Richard Nixon's "enemies list" rather than a virtual "yellow star." I
remembered Lesley Stahl reporting in her memoir about CBS News
that correspondent Daniel Schorr "loved" being on Nixon's list
— it "was a badge of honor." Yet along with my perverse pride came a slight
tremor of dread. "Is this hate list a hit list?", I wondered. If Palestinians
gain glory from targeting pizzerias and murdering infants, what would
stop them from targeting an academic, however obscure I might be? The
more I perused the list, the more confused I became. The list had dead
Jews and live Jews, including the banker Felix Warburg and the
screenwriter Ben Hecht. I realized this was a vast database listing
articles related to "Palestinian Solidarity," with pungent commentary
on pro-Zionist pieces. There were also lists of Palestinians, Europeans,
Israeli Jews — some deemed Zionist, others not — categorized by subject
as well as by nationality and political orientation. All this was an effort
to fight the media bias these activists perceived — in favor of Israel.
As an educator, I wanted to pronounce the site benign. "Our side" has
Jewish Agency databases detailing the history of Zionism, and Daniel
Pipes's "Campus Watch" database monitoring classroom bias. How can
I begrudge Palestinian activists their research project? Yet that reaction,
too, was not satisfying. There was something about the tone and wording,
the use of "Zionist" as a pejorative, that was menacing. Being outed on
this Web site as a "Zionist American Jew" lacked the warmth and lyricism
of my proudly proclaiming "I am a Zionist." Part of it had to do with
the list's ugly reductionism — boiling people down to their national origins
and then branding them "kosher" or "unkosher," as it were. There was something
a bit too European about the need to identify reporters such as CBS's
Bob Simon and NPR's Terry Gross as "American Jew," Wolf
Blitzer as "Zionist American Jew" when the relevance was unclear.
Moreover, after Daniel Pearl's captors beheaded him because they deemed
him a "ZAJ" rather than an "AJ" or simply an American, such labels promulgated
in Europe by Palestinian supporters spring from poisoned sources. In an
immoral universe where being a Zionist is a capital crime, being identified
as such becomes a death threat. The Web site rests on a seedbed of hate,
broadcasting hostility to the Jewish state, hijacking symbols to make
Jaffa Oranges manifestations of "apartheid" policies to be boycotted,
rather than fruits of a people's renewal ... I resent the bloody intifada
the Palestinians have unleashed against Israelis, and I resent the worldwide
intellectual and ideological intifada fostering that violence which is
scarring my home turf, the university. I hate the polarizing effect on
discourse about the Middle East, the emotion that squelches candid analysis
on both sides. And I despise the whiff of menace hovering about the intellectual
intifada-ists, given the constant rhetorical attacks against "Americans
and Jews" and the global reach terrorists and antisemites have demonstrated.
So, I will wear my listing as a ZAJ with pride. And I will urge leaders
who are merely listed as "American Jews" to support Israel more passionately
to get bumped up into my more exclusive category. But when I next move,
I am sorry to say, my home phone number will be unlisted. Gil Troy

[Judeocentrism pops up its Hydra head even in China. Bauer is a priest,
teaching/propagandizing at Fu Jen Catholic University. He's active in
"interreligous" networking. He's a prime example of a philosemitic
sycophant and the Judeocentrism that sweeps the West. In his case, as
a priest, his very world view is rooted in the Jewish Torah, the Old Testament.
His name, Daniel, is even of Jewish origin. No Jewish influence in the
West? Father Bauer would do well to read the Old Testament text closely.
In fairness to journalistic balance, where's the China Post editorial
that says "Mahathir's words against the Jews were utterly right."
Every culture in history that has ever had a significant Jewish population
has criticized them for the same reasons. Why? Note that Father Bauer
doesn't offer any evidence that Voltaire, Dostoevsky and even Biblical
John were wrong in their assessment of Jewish tribalism. Bauer only has
a chant: Mahathir was "wrong, wrong, wrong." A long list of
the continuous Jewish assault against Fr. Bauer's belief system, Catholicism,
is here.]
Mahathir's
words against the Jews were utterly wrong,
By Daniel J. Bauer, Special to The China Post
"I sometimes talk very directly with my students about the anti-Jewishness
that occasionally appears in important and otherwise beautifully written
western literature. I speak about Voltaire's prejudice against Jews whenever
I teach his novella Candide, for example. I teach Dostoevsky's
Notes from the Underground every few years, and mention his anti-Semitism
in a general way. Actually, The Brothers Karamazov probably illustrates
Dostoevsky's lamentable views of Jews better than any of his works. In
class I emphasize that a certain amount of racism and religious prejudice
(ugly and disgusting, to be sure) is inherent in many cultures at various
times of history. I say we should not be surprised that even our greatest
authors are influenced by the evil of their societies. Rare indeed is
the person who is perfectly open minded to all people, regardless of background
or race. It is also a fact that I don't have to teach literature to confront
writings that appear to be patently biased against Jewish people. When
I pray over the Bible in my morning meditations, I sometimes shudder
at the blanket accusations the evangelist John levels at Jews. Although
I treasure his Gospel in all other ways, I am bewildered at John's harshness
against his own people. John himself was a Jewish-Christian, an apostle
who loved Jesus, after all, and Jesus, of course, was also a Jew. Yet,
in some lines of his Gospel, that same John comes close to painting all
Jews with a mean, broad, and all-encompassing brush of condemnation. When
I read last week of Prime Minister Mohammad Mahathir's pathetic outburst
against Jews at a high profile conference for Islamic leaders, I felt
like throwing up. "The Europeans killed six million Jews out of 12 million.
But today, Jews rule the world by proxy," he said. "They get others to
fight and die for them . . .. 1.3 billion Muslims cannot be defeated by
a few million Jews." The more I picture him talking like that, the less
I feel like eating lunch today. "Why write about Mahathir's hateful words?"
I've asked myself this question all week long. "Why not stay silent? You'll
only get into trouble by speaking ou" ... Very few of us are prominent
spiritual or social leaders. There are times in life, however, when even
small people like you and I ought to speak out in some way against evil.
No matter how humble our roles in the world might be, we should say clearly
and loudly that Mahathir was wrong, wrong, wrong."

Reframing
the Enemy 'Cultural Marxism,' a conspiracy theory with an anti-Semitic
twist, is being pushed by much of the American right,
By Bill Berkowitz, Southern Poverty Law Center
"Pat Buchanan, sometime presidential candidate and radical right
darling, says he is opposed to it is being used to "de-Christianize" America.
Washington heavyweight William Lind claims it is turning U.S. college
campuses into "ivy-covered North Koreas." Retired naval commander Gerald
Atkinson fears it has invaded the nation's military academies. Immigration
activist John Vinson suggests it aims "to distort and destroy" our country.
"Cultural Marxism," described as a conspiratorial attempt to wreck American
culture and morality, is the newest intellectual bugaboo on the radical
right. Surprisingly, there are signs that this bizarre
theory is catching on in the mainstream. The phrase refers to a
kind of "political correctness" on steroids — a covert assault on the
American way of life that allegedly has been developed by the left over
the course of the last 70 years. Those who are pushing the "cultural Marxism"
scenario aren't merely poking fun at the PC excesses of the "People's
Republic of Berkeley," or the couple of American cities whose leaders
renamed manholes "person-holes" in a bid to root out sexist thought. Right-wing
ideologues, racists and other extremists have jazzed up political correctness
and repackaged it — in its most virulent form, as
an anti-Semitic theory that identifies Jews in general and several Jewish
intellectuals in particular as nefarious, communistic destroyers.
These supposed originators of "cultural Marxism" are seen as conspiratorial
plotters intent on making Americans feel guilty and thus subverting their
Christian culture. In a nutshell, the theory posits
that a tiny group of Jewish philosophers who fled Germany in the 1930s
and set up shop at Columbia University in New York City devised an unorthodox
form of "Marxism" that took aim at American society's culture, rather
than its economic system. The theory holds that these self-interested
Jews — the so-called "Frankfurt School" of philosophers — planned to try
to convince mainstream Americans that white ethnic pride is bad, that
sexual liberation is good, and that supposedly traditional American values
— Christianity, "family values," and so on — are reactionary and bigoted.
With their core values thus subverted, the theory goes, Americans would
be quick to sign on to the ideas of the far left. The very term,
"cultural Marxism," is clearly intended to conjure up xenophobic anxieties.
But can a theory like this, built on the words of long-dead intellectuals
who have little discernible relevance to normal Americans' lives, really
fly? As bizarre as it might sound, there is some evidence that it may.
Certainly, those who are pushing the theory seem to believe that it is
an important one. "Political correctness looms over American society like
a colossus," William Lind, a principal of far-right political strategist
Paul Weyrich's Free Congress Foundation (see group description, in Into
the Mainstream) and a key popularizer of the idea of cultural Marxism,
warned in a 1998 speech. "It has taken over both political parties and
is enforced by many laws and government regulations. It almost totally
controls the most powerful element in our culture, the entertainment industry.
It dominates both public and higher education. ... It has even captured
the clergy in many Christian churches." From PC to Cultural Marxism
The idea of political correctness — the predecessor of the more highly
charged concept of cultural Marxism — was popularized by the mass media
in the early 1990s, highlighted by a 1991 speech by the first President
Bush in which he warned that "free speech [is] under assault throughout
the United States."

The
Mainstreaming Of Anti-Semitism,
by Abraham H. Foxman, Jewish Week,
October 31, 2003
"Much is appalling about what took place in Kuala Lumpur at the summit
of the Organization of the Islamic Conference. It is appalling that the
Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad in effect called for holy war
against the Jewish people and charged that the Jews “rule the world by
proxy.” It is appalling that leaders of the 57 participating countries
stood as one and applauded Mr. Mahathir. It is appalling that even after
criticism surfaced, many leaders in attendance defended the Malaysian
leader’s comments. It is appalling that Mr. Mahathir said days later that
condemnation of his remarks by some world leaders proved the truth of
his claim that Jews ruled the world. It is appalling that some in Europe,
particularly French leaders, did everything to prevent a clear and unequivocal
condemnation of Mahathir’s remarks as vicious anti-Semitism by the European
Union as a body ... The challenge for the Jewish community is to understand
the significance of this event and determine where we must go from here.
I think it is fair to say that what took place that day in Malaysia —
the statement, the forum, the timing, the reaction — was the most serious
public display of anti-Semitism since the Holocaust. Our efforts for decades
since that great tragedy of the Jewish people were to keep anti-Semitism
on the fringes, fighting it by exposing the dangers of such hatred and
what it could lead to, and calling on reasonable people to reject such
ideology ... [I]t is as a wake-up call to the Jewish community, and beyond
as well. We need to mobilize ourselves; we need to mobilize our friends;
we need to mobilize people and leaders who may not have been such good
friends but who must understand what happens to democratic societies whenever
Jews are under such a concerted attack as took place in Malaysia. Every
Jew in America and around the world should express his or her indignation
at those leaders who supported Mahathir or who hesitated to condemn him.
We should commend those who stood up. We, together with our friends in
the non-Jewish community, must say that none of us seek conflict with
or have animus toward the Islamic religion. However, when 57 leaders under
the banner of Islam appear to support such hatred, it requires that leadership
to declare that this is not what Islam is about. We must insist to world
leaders to not only say that Mahathir’s remarks are unacceptable, but
they must think long and hard about the role their one-sided criticism
of Israel has played in creating an environment where vicious anti-Semitism
is now acceptable. I continue to believe that the world today is a more
dangerous place for Jews than any time since the Holocaust. At the same
time, Jews are not powerless or alone as we were back then. We
have Israel, we have America, and we have ourselves and our allies.
The challenge is to mobilize these assets."

Judeocentric apologetic horse manure into cyberspace. The Jewish Lobby

dominance in America, you are "flirting" with being a "fascist."
You see here clearly why the Left, per the Jewish Question, is completely

the boat into the reefs. And CounterPunch gives them public forum.]
Israel and White
Supremacy,
by AARON MICHAEL LOVE, CounterPunch,
October 15, 2002
"[There] is a powerful reminder of the contradiction in the European
conception of freedom. Freedom only applies absolutely to the white man,
temporarily excluding the complications of class and of course, gender.
Du Bois argued that the Atlantic slave trade produced this schism materially
and culturally, although its origins no doubt go much farther back in
European history. He concludes, "nothing so vividly illustrates the twisted
contradiction of thought in the minds of white men." Much ink has been
spilled bemoaning the Zionist lobby in the United States. The success
of this lobby in the Washington and media establishment, in terms of its
limited objectives, is no doubt spectacular. However, it is a strange
success, which has made strange bedfellows when considering the history
of anti-Jewish racism in the U.S. After all, how could such a lobby hold
sway over the Christian Right, Waspish conservative think tanks and a
Congress filled with southern gentlemen? The answer
is the Zionist organizations do not hold sway over anyone and to
imply otherwise, as some do, has the unintended consequence of flirting
on the margins of a major Fascist conceit. Instead, the answer
can be found in the history of white supremacy and imperialism within
the United States and Europe themselves. In other words, Zionist Apartheid
is seen as an old fashioned war on people of color and, as such is perfectly
attune to the historical psyche of white America. Rather than trying to
"liberate" American foreign policy from Zionist influence, I think it
would be much more fruitful to ask why Americans, particularly the political,
business class, and certain sectors of the white middle class, love Israel
so much. In an indispensable article, "Antisemitism: Real and Imagined",
Tim Wise writes, "Zionism is a form of white
supremacy" ... My experience as a divestment and solidarity organizer
over the last couple of years has brought me first hand knowledge of the
Zionist paradox in the Jewish community. More than once, young Jews approached
us, confessing they struggle to maintain a Jewish identity outside of
whiteness, revealing young minds trying to grasp with the irony of an
alliance between Jews and White Supremacy."
[Yet ANOTHER media-empowered Jewish apologist tries to divert attention

Antiglobalism’s
Jewish Problem,
by Mark Strauss, Foreign Policy (November/December
2003)
"Anti-Semitism is again on the rise. Why now? Blame the backlash
against globalization. As public anxiety grows over lost jobs, shaky economies,
and political and social upheaval, the Brownshirt and Birkenstock crowds
are seeking solace in conspiracy theories. And in their search for the
hidden hand that guides the new world order, modern anxieties are merging
with old hatreds and the myths on which they rest. There is no shortage
of symbols representing peace, justice, and economic equality. The dove
and the olive branch. The peace sign. The rainbow flag. Even the emblem
of the United Nations. So why did some protesters at the 2003 World Social
Forum (WSF) in Porto Alegre, Brazil, display the swastika? Held two months
prior to the U.S.-led attack on Iraq, this year’s conference—an annual
grassroots riposte to the well-heeled World Economic Forum in Davos—had
the theme, “Another World is Possible.” But the more appropriate theme
might have been “Yesterday’s World is Back.” Marchers among the 20,000
activists from 120 countries carried signs reading “Nazis,
Yankees, and Jews: No More Chosen Peoples!” Some
wore T-shirts with the Star of David twisted into Nazi swastikas. Members
of a Palestinian organization pilloried Jews as the “true fundamentalists
who control United States capitalism.” Jewish delegates carrying
banners declaring “Two peoples—Two states: Peace in the Middle East” were
assaulted. Porto Alegre provides just one snapshot of an unfolding phenomenon
known as the “new anti-Semitism.” Since the fall of the Berlin Wall, the
oldest hatred has been making a global comeback, culminating in 2002 with
the highest number of anti-Semitic attacks in 12 years. Not since Kristallnacht,
the Nazi-led pogrom against German Jews in 1938, have so many European
synagogues and Jewish schools been desecrated. This new anti-Semitism
is a kaleidoscope of old hatreds shattered and rearranged into random
patterns at once familiar and strange. It is the medieval image of the
“Christ-killing” Jew resurrected on the editorial pages of cosmopolitan
European newspapers. It is the International Red Cross and Red Crescent
Movement refusing to put the Star of David on their ambulances. It is
Zimbabwe and Malaysia—nations nearly bereft of Jews—warning of an international
Jewish conspiracy to control the world’s finances. It is neo-Nazis donning
checkered Palestinian kaffiyehs and Palestinians lining up to buy copies
of Mein Kampf ... “Who is to blame?” asked General
Albert Makashov of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation following
the collapse of the ruble in 1998. “Usury, deceit, corruption, and thievery
are flourishing in the country. That is why I call the reformers Yids
[Jews].” But other countries don’t fit this profile. How, for instance,
does one explain anti-Semitism’s resurgence in Austria and Great Britain,
which have enjoyed some of the lowest unemployment rates in Europe? Rising
hostility toward Israel is also a significant factor ... This sentiment
only deepened with U.S. military action against Iraq, when anti-Semitism
bandwagoned on the anti-war movement and rising anti-Americanism. How
else to explain a war against a country that had never attacked the United
States, it was argued, if not for a cabal of Jewish
neocon advisors who had hoodwinked the U.S. president into conquering
Iraq to safeguard Israel? ... The backlash against globalization
unites all elements of the political spectrum through a common cause,
and in doing so it sometimes fosters a common enemy—what French Jewish
leader Roger Cukierman calls an anti-Semitic “brown-green-red alliance”
among ultra-nationalists, the populist green movement, and communism’s
fellow travelers. The new anti-Semitism is unique because it seamlessly
stitches together the various forms of old anti-Semitism: The far right’s
conception of the Jew (a fifth column, loyal only to itself, undermining
economic sovereignty and national culture), the far left’s conception
of the Jew (capitalists and usurers, controlling the international economic
system), and the “blood libel” Jew (murderers and modern-day colonial
oppressors). Jews have always aroused suspicion and contempt as a people
apart, stubbornly resisting assimilation and clinging to their own religion,
language, rituals, and dietary laws. But modern anti-Semitism made its
debut with the emergence of global capitalism in the 19th century. When
Jews left their urban ghettos and a small but visible number emerged as
successful bankers, financiers, and entrepreneurs, they engendered resentment
among those who envied their unfathomable success, especially given Jews’
secondary status in society. Some left-wing economists, such as French
anarchist Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, depicted Jews as the driving force behind
global capitalism."

Attacks Ramadan Series For 'Anti-Semitism',

remarks. A number of Jewish organizations are pressurizing
Arab satellite channels into taking Al-Shatat (Diaspora) off the air during
the holy month of Ramadan, read a statement by Lebanon's Al-Manar

all political, economic and religious levels, and unmasking ways used
by the Jews to create their "fictitious" entity in Palestinian territories,

leaders and contributors to the movement on the screen, the program also
highlights their role to release its objectives culminated in the establishment
of Israel in 1948. The first scene is of a British Jewish grandfather
flanked at deathbed by his five sons, to deliver his will trusting them
with seizing control of the world under the name of the secret world Jewish
government. Other related events are rolled in England, Russia, Romania,
France, Egypt and the United States, as the production unveils plots by
Theodore Herzl, the founder of Zionism, to achieve his coveted
dream of setting up a homeland for Jews in Palestinian territories, said
the statement. The miniseries, produced by Sryia's Lin company, includes
26 episodes, with 250 actors from Syria and other Arab countries."
Jews
vs. Anti-Semites: A View Without Fear or Favor,
by Lev Navrozov, Newsmax, June 20,
2003
"My column of June 6 purported to show that the last three Russian
czars were advancing Russia politically and that the abdication of the
last of them, Nicholas II, resulted in a disaster for at least the next
75 years. (See: The Tyranny of Russian Czars?) I received an e-mail in
which "Bob from Michigan” said, "Dear Sir, I read your article on NewsMax.com
about the rule of the Russian Czars and agreed 100% with your analysis.”
What Bob from Michigan finds necessary to add to my analysis is his understanding
of the fatal role of Jews in the "Russian revolution" – and in all disasters
of Christendom or mankind at large. He writes, "80% of the Bolsheviks
were Jews.” After "similar data" on the United States, Bob from Michigan
asks me, "Please explain to me what is the mental illness of Jews that
makes them Leftwing." On June 9, I was to speak for two hours on an international
radio show called "Free American," but I canceled the show when I fortunately
learned that the host wanted me to explain how Jews (no, not the rulers
of China, and not even Saddam Hussein!) want to establish world domination.
As in the 19th century forgery "Protocols of the Elders of Zion.” To listen
to Western anti-Semites for most of the past two millennia, Jews have
come to the West to take advantage of the good, noble, honest Westerners,
to fleece them, to practice usury and to drink the blood of their little
children, to say nothing of spoiling Western life by their vulgarity and
filth. However, the Jews did not come to the West of their own free will.
The Roman Empire wanted the territory of Israel as part of its imperial
expansion, but the Jews resisted so fiercely that the Roman Empire either
killed or deported them ... The pretense that it was not the Roman Empire
that invaded and destroyed Israel, killed and deported Jews, crucified
Christ, and persecuted Christians for centuries, but the Jews who crucified
Christ, is one of the most comical deceptions of anti-Semitism. Showing
to what lengths of ignorance, stupidity and self-contradiction the hate
for a nation can go only because that nation is not the nation of Bob
from Michigan. In this column I was helped by Alan Freed, a
Lutheran pastor by education and profession, and a sociopolitical thinker
by vocation."

The anti-Semitism
of the liberal left,
By Amnon Rubinstein, Haaretz (Israel),
October 30, 2003
"Who would have believed that at the start of the 21st century, less
than 60 years after the liberation of Auschwitz, anti-Semitism would be
back in the headlines? Not long ago, French television broadcast a special
program on the subject, and several new books about modern anti-Semitism
have been published, including works by American jurist Alan Dershowitz,
French Jewish philosopher Alain Finkielkraut and the American author
Phyllis Chesler. What all these people share in common is that
they are liberal Jews fighting for human rights. Chesler even has bonafide
credentials from the radical left in both America and Israel (she also
demonstrated at the Western Wall for joint prayers of men and women).
Nevertheless, each of the three was astounded to
see that criticism of Israel wears a form of renewed hatred of Jews, and
each was infuriated at the way attacks on the very existence of Israel
has become fashionable among members of the liberal and intellectual left.
These circles extend to intellectuals and civil rights advocates in Israel,
in whose virtual world there is nothing but Zionist guilt. These same
authors were shocked at the proliferation of attacks against Jews, from
the fact that enlightened public opinion is not rallying on their behalf,
and by the articles in which the establishment of the Jewish state is
regarded a historic error. In these terms, they remind one of the
precursors and leaders of the Zionist movement - Moshe Hess, Herzl, Leo
Pinsker and Max Nordau - assimilated Jews who one day wake up and are
astounded to see how the society in which they have struck roots has become
a Jew-hating society."

Israel
outraged as EU poll names it a threat to peace,
by Peter Beaumont, Observer (UK), November
2, 2003
"Israel has been described as the top threat
to world peace, ahead of North Korea, Afghanistan and Iran, by
an unpublished European Commission poll of 7,500 Europeans, sparking an
international row. The survey, conducted in October, of 500 people from
each of the EU's member nations included a list of 15 countries with the
question, 'tell me if in your opinion it presents or not a threat to peace
in the world'. Israel was reportedly picked by 59
per cent of those interviewed. The leaking of the results of the
poll to El Pais and the International Herald Tribune has
sparked a bitter row, with a major Jewish human rights and lobbying group,
the Simon Wiesenthal Centre, demanding that the
EU be excluded from the Israel-Palestinian peace process and accusing
Europe of suffering the worst outbreak of 'anti-semitism' since World
War Two. The results appear to be a mark of the widespread disapproval
in Europe of the tactics employed by the government of Ariel Sharon during
the present intifada. Israeli Ministers and spokesman
have also been at pains recently to insist that a definition of modern
'anti-semitism' should include criticism of the way the state of Israel
chooses to protect itself, defining that criticism as an overt
attack on Israel's survival ... Reacting to the
poll, the Simon Wiesenthal Centre, which claims 400,000 members in the
US alone, has begun ordering a petition to condemn the European Commission
and demand the EU no longer be represented in the so-called Quartet group
trying to mediate an end to violence between Israel and Palestine.
The poll also comes against a background of an increase in anti-semitic
attacks in Europe in the past year, although the evidence in countries
such as France suggests that many are being committed by young Islamists.
'This poll is an indication that Europeans have bought in, "hook, line
and sinker", to the vilification and demonisation campaign directed against
the state of Israel and her supporters by European leaders and media,'
said Rabbi Marvin Hier, the Wiesenthal Centre's founder. 'This
shocking result that Israel is the greatest threat to world peace, bigger
than North Korea and Iran, defies logic and is a
racist flight of fantasy that only shows that anti-semitism is
deeply embedded within European society, more then at any other period
since the end of the war,' he added."
[Off-base analysis, but asserting that the Jewish community makes
myths out of "antisemitism" is progress.]
What
the Jews won't tell you,
Asia Times, November 4, 2003
"Why is it that the subject of Jews enflames so many passions? I
stand by my contention that paranoia suffused outgoing Malaysian Prime
Minister Mahathir Mohammed's Islamic Conference speech on October 16 in
last week's column But paranoia is only part of the story; after all,
Dr Mahathir does not imagine that Gypsies or Armenians are out to get
him. There is something more to say about this, which the Jews will not
admit to you, if indeed they admit it to themselves. It is what Protestant
theologians once called "the scandal of election". More on this below.
"Where there is smoke, there also must be fire," many Asians think to
themselves when they hear how much hatred the Jews seem to elicit. There
must be more too it than a territorial dispute in the Eastern Mediterranean.
It is not just Muslims who hate and fear the Jews. In Europe, according
to a November 1 report in the Spanish newspaper El Pais, a new
opinion poll by the European Commission shows that Europeans think Israel
is more dangerous than North Korea or Iran. Is it
possible that so many people hate the Jews for no reason whatever?
How can a people that comprise just three-hundredths of a percent of the
world population provoke so much rancor? There is something more to it,
and it is not the delusion that a Jewish conspiracy controls the United
States. American Jews require no conspiracy to exercise influence, as
they do so in the full light of day in the rough-and-tumble of democracy.
Arab-American organizations do precisely the same thing, albeit with poorer
results. So does Saudi Arabia. It is entirely possible to believe that
American policy, too, heavily favors Israel, as do Howard Dean and Patrick
Buchanan, without going over the deep end. Jews
protest that they are no different from any other minority, and that anti-Semitism
amounts to a mental disease. Of these organizations, the most authoritative
on matters of anti-Semitism is the Simon Wiesenthal Center of Los Angeles,
whose website offers the following gem: "The philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre
... emphasized that it is not the anti-Semite's personal experience with
Jews that evokes his hatred toward them, but rather his tendency to see
the source of his own personal failings in his abstract perception of
Jews. Psychologists explain this type of antipathy in times of stress
as a projection of the frustration of the modern anonymous masses and
the consequences of this frustration on an object outside their circle.
The Jew is the available scapegoat and meets these basically paranoid
needs. In periods of crisis, or in the face of failure or public outbursts
of anger, an accusing finger was pointed at the Jews." In
effect, says the Wiesenthal Center, anti-Semitism is a simple paranoid
delusion, like the madman's belief that martians have planted a radio
transmitter in his brain. It is a chemical imbalance in the brain.
If there were no Jews, paranoids would talk of a Parsi or Mongolian world
conspiracy. Most Jews, from what I can tell, appear
to believe this rubbish. I do not think the Wiesenthal Center dissimulates
here, but rather that it has psychological problems of its own. The Jews
do not wish to admit to themselves that Jew-hatred has profound roots
which will not respond to psychiatric treatment. The Jews are hated
for many reasons, to be sure, not least of which is the fact that as the
oldest of the Abrahamic religions, they have a claim to legitimacy which
represents a stumbling block to Christians as well as Muslims ... That
is why Americans have no fundamental issue with the Jews. Americans enjoy
the newborn's sense of immortality, because they have exchanged cultural
memory for the promise of a new beginning. Indians and Chinese, for that
matter, rarely take an interest in anti-Semitism, because their cultures
are both ancient and robust. It is the peoples whose love for their own
culture is sweet and pregnant with the presentiment of death that have
deep cause to detest the Jews."
[The coopted European elite condemns its own citizens in veiling its
own profound Judeocentric pro-Israelism. Why would anyone condemn those
who condemn violently apartheid Israel? Unless they are shills for the
racist Jewish state themselves. How come many of these same "anti-Jewish"
people aren't also condemned for saying the UNITED STATES is also a threat
to world peace? Because there's always a dual standard when it comes to
Jews; Jews are held to be beyond criticism. How about another survey question
that asks if rank-and-file Europeans think their leaders have been coopted
as Judeocentric sycophants? And how about a leak to the answers about
THAT question?]
EU
Condemns Anti-Jewish Bias Amid Poll,
Earthlink (from Associated Pres), November

"The European Union Monday condemned lingering anti-Jewish bias it
said was reflected in a new survey, which found that many Europeans see
Israel as a threat to world peace. Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi,
whose country holds the EU presidency, called Israeli Prime Minister Ariel
Sharon to express his "surprise and indignation" over the survey results,
saying the question had been "misleading." The results "point to the continued
existence of a bias that must be condemned out of hand," European Commission
President Romano Prodi said in a statement. "To the extent that this may
indicate a deeper, more general prejudice against the Jewish world, our
repugnance is even more radical." The EU poll, released Monday after
parts were leaked last week, found 59 percent of EU citizens said
"yes" when asked if Israel posed "a threat to peace in the world." More
than half - 53 percent - also said "yes" to Iran, North Korea and the
United States. Eleven other countries followed ... Prodi, who is visiting
New York, said the survey does not reflect the Commission's thinking and
will not affect its Mideast policy. The telephone survey of 7,515 people
was carried out Oct. 8-16 by 15 EOS Gallup Europe institutes. It has a
margin of error of 4 percentage points."

German
special forces chief sacked in anti-Semitism row,
Yahoo! News, November 4, 2003
"The head of the German military's special
forces was sacked after backing a conservative politician under fire for
comments widely criticized as anti-Semitic. Defence Minister Peter
Struck, announcing the dismissal, described Reinhard Guenzel as a "lone,
confused general" and said he was being dismissed from his post with immediate
effect. At a hastily-arranged news conference, a clearly angry Struck
said Guenzel had damaged the image of the army with his "abstruse and
confused" views. "I don't think that you can call it an honorary dismissal
when the minister throws him out," he said in reply to a question. Struck
said he was convinced Guenzel was an isolated case. The row has
again highlighted the acute sensitivity in Germany, because of its unique
past, to anything which smacks of anti-Semitism or is seen to hark back
to the Nazi era. Guenzel got into trouble for writing
a letter to support to Martin Hohmann, a Christian Democratic Union (CDU)
lawmaker, who said Jews could be seen as a "race of perpetrators" for
alleged crimes against civilians during the Russian revolution of 1917.
The CDU leadership has already formally admonished Hohmann and removed
him from a key parliamentary committee. Guenzel, 59, a career soldier
who rose through the ranks after joining as a paratrooper, has headed
the elite KSK special forces for three years. It is not the first time
he has been in trouble -- two years ago he warned of a potential "bloodbath"
in the hunt for al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden and accused politicians
of being willing to see anti-terror soldiers die to avoid the deaths of
thousands of civilians. According to ZDF public television, Guenzel's
letter lauded Hohmann for "an excellent speech ... of the kind only seldom
read or heard in this nation" and showing a "courage for truth and clarity."
He assured Hohmann that "with your words, you are speaking for the soul
of the majority of our people." Hohmann's comments came in a speech to
constituents early last month which only recently came to public attention.
In it, the backbench Bundestag deputy likened what he claimed was bloodshed
orchestrated by Jews during the Russian revolution to the Holocaust. He
said Jews were active in the Bolshevik leadership and the Soviet secret
police firing squads, according to a transcript that was later removed
from a CDU website. "Thus one could describe Jews with some justification
as a Taetervolk (race of perpetrators). "That may sound horrible," said
Hohmann, 55. "But it would follow the same logic with which one describes
the Germans as a race of perpetrators." He later said his words had been
taken out of context and that he had not meant to deny the unique character
of the Holocaust. Germany's Central Council of Jews said it planned to
lodge a complaint with police and along with the Greens, junior partner
in the ruling coalition, has demanded his expulsion
from the CDU. The CDU leadership said Tuesday it saw no reason
to take further action. Hohmann himself appeared to nuance his earlier
apology, saying on ZDF that there were "dark areas" of Jewish history.
"An apology would, I think, be a signal that the facts to which I referred
are not correct. But the facts are correct." The KSK enjoy a reputation
as Germany's toughest soldiers. Formed in 1996, the unit has some 450
troops, with plans to increase that to 1,000."
[So now Europeans are "anti-Semitic." Malaysians are "anti-Semitic."
Arabs are "anti-Semitic." Christians are "anti-Semite."
Jewry never faces its own face in the mirror and now faces a narrowing
world to push to its knees to serve the Jewish Innocent. Under Ariel Sharon,
Israel is increasingly a neo-fascistic country. Face it. Look at yourself.
Stop reckless Judeocentric insanity.]
Israel's
Sharansky blames "anti-Semitism" for poll,
By Astrid Zweynert, Alert Net, November 4,
2003
"Israeli cabinet minister Natan Sharansky on Tuesday blamed
what he called a campaign of new anti-Semitism in Europe for a poll which
showed that most Europeans regard Israel as the greatest threat to world
peace. A European Commission survey on Monday found that more EU citizens
see Israel as a threat to world peace than any other country including
Iran, Iraq and North Korea. "If people in Europe really believe that Israel
is a bigger threat than a country like North Korea, which still embraces
Stalinist communism...then we have much to be concerned about," Sharansky
told reporters during a visit to London. "It proves that the campaign
of anti-Semitism and delegitimisation of Israel and Jews in the Muslim
world, together with the lack of any clear and public opposition to it
by the Western world, has now borne fruit," Sharansky said. Israel
on Monday charged that the survey, in which 59 percent of those questioned
said the country was a menace, revealed a "hidden agenda" by those asking
the question. "For many people, as in so many times in the past, the Jews
have become automatically and irrationally connected with something that
is bad or dangerous," Sharansky, who is in charge of diaspora and
Jerusalem affairs, said. Sharansky, a prominent former Soviet dissident,
said Western nations must stop what he called any
attempt to try to understand or justify the new anti-Semitism."
[The ADL is so incredibly arrogant. Here they list largely Muslim

'Homes

Drops Effort to Suppress Reprints,
Newswire, November 5, 2003
"Following protests by The David S. Wyman Institute for Holocaust
Studies and a petition signed by Holocaust educators from around the world,
the publisher of the British magazine "Homes & Gardens" has said
it is "appalled" that it published an article in 1938 glamorizing Adolf
Hitler, and it has withdrawn its previous objections to the reproduction
of the article. The controversy began earlier this year, when IPC Media
-- the largest British media company, publisher of 76 magazines -- pressured
Simon Waldman of The Guardian to remove from his personal
web site a 1938 Homes & Gardens article glamorizing Hitler and
his Bavarian Alps vacation home. IPC Media had originally claimed that
reproduction of the article was a copyright violation. The David S. Wyman
Institute for Holocaust Studies responded by posting the full original
1938 article on its own Web site, http://www.WymanInstitute.org. The Wyman
Institute also organized a petition, signed by 70 leading Holocaust scholars
and educators, urging IPC Media to "face up to its past" and stop blocking
the reproduction of the article."
ADL
Issues First Report in New Series Exposing Arab Media's Anti-Semitism,
U.S. Newswire, November 5, 2003
"Concerned with the ongoing surge in hateful anti-Semitic images
in the Muslim and Arab press -- a problem compounded by the debut last
week of an anti-Jewish series on Arab satellite television -- the Anti-Defamation
League (ADL) today issued the first in a new series of reports documenting
the extent of this "troubling and worsening problem." Released in conjunction
with ADL's 90th Annual National Commission Meeting in New York City, the
ADL report Anti-Semitism in the Arab and Muslim World: October 2003 exposes
anti-Semitic articles and cartoons appearing during the 10-week period
ending October 31 in Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Jordan, Oman, Palestinian Authority,
Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Syria. "Anti-Semitism in the Arab world has always
been troubling, but now it is a worsening problem. The failure of the
international community and Arab nations to address this problem is serious,"
said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director and author of the
new book Never Again? The Threat of the New Anti-Semitism (HarperSanFrancisco,
2003). "The fact that we are dealing with a phenomenon that is not on
the fringes, but in the mainstream of many Arab and Muslim countries,
makes the danger very great and immediate. The anti-Semitic images are
especially of concern because in Arab nations with low levels of adult
literacy, people are getting daily doses of anti-Jewish stereotypes through
the cartoons." Copies of the League's report are
being distributed on Capitol Hill, and ADL communicated its concerns this
week to Secretary of State Colin Powell, urging the United States to press
the issue with those Muslim and Arab governments whose media regularly
promote and rationalize anti-Semitism."
Handing
a Club to Anti-Semites,
by Phillip Adams, Miftah, October 30, 2003
"As today's column will provoke accusations of anti-Semitism, let
me begin with a few words in my defence. A classic philo-Semite, I've
long been described as a Jew lover by the anti-Semites in organisations
such as Frederick Tobin's Adelaide Institute. I've been dragged before
the Press Council by the abominable League of Rights and am proud to say
I'm regularly attacked in the hate pages of neo-Nazi organisations. I'm
on the receiving end of stacks of hate mail, up to and including death
threats. My home was attacked by an anti-Semitic group that spray-painted
racist obscenities all over it, then tried to sledgehammer their way in.
My children grew up in a home with a mezuzah, which consecrates it, on
the doorpost. They were taught to respect the extraordinary contribution
of Jews to science, philosophy, philanthropy, ethics, civil rights and
the arts. My first daughter, named Rebecca, renounced her father's atheism
and converted to Judaism. And I've lost count of the occasions when I've
launched books by Jewish authors, opened exhibitions by Jewish artists
or spoken at Jewish fundraisers or at Holocaust exhibitions or museums.
Yet, with growing frequency, I get letters branding
me an anti-Semite. Worse still, I've lost close friends in the Jewish
community. Why? Because in recent years I've found it impossible not to
criticise Israel's policies towards the Palestinians. It is not
anti-Semitic to disagree with Israel's behaviour in the Lebanon or the
disputed territories. It is not anti-Semitic to regard Israeli Prime Minister
Ariel Sharon as equally culpable with Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat
in the present mess. And it is not anti-Semitic to protest long and loud
against the attempts to denigrate Hanan Ashrawi and those who would honour
her. The behaviour of the so-called Jewish lobby over the Ashrawi issue
is not only appalling but extraordinarily stupid. Once again, in its efforts
to suppress and censor, the lobby challenges the efforts of its worst
enemies to become its own worst enemy ... I've met few I admire as much
as [Palestinian Hanan]Ashrawi. Now there are attempts to deny her the
Australian Peace Prize. First the University of Sydney was cowed into
slamming the door of the Great Hall in her face. Then it was Sydney Town
Hall, with Lord Mayor Lucy Turnbull's behaviour, calling into question
not only her courage but her judgment. Which brings us to Sydney councillor
Kathryn Greiner's attack on the Sydney Peace Foundation, which she'd chaired
for four years. Her attempts to have the award to Ashrawi overturned were
uncharacteristically craven. Yesterday, Foreign Minister Alexander Downer
bought into the issue, tut-tutting Ashrawi's award. Odd, given that the
Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade paid for Ashrawi to attend, and
address, the Festival of Ideas in Adelaide. Everyone,
it seems, is running scared. At least NSW Premier Bob Carr has
refused to back off. Equally admirable, the behaviour of Stuart Rees,
director of the SPF. As a consequence of their bitter experiences over
the centuries, Jews have stood at the forefront of human rights and civil
rights issues across the world. To be so wrong-headed on this occasion
is, therefore, doubly disappointing. The campaign smacks of an attack
on free speech in this country and, yes, on free assembly. And it plays
right into the hands of the true anti-Semites."
[This censorial persecution may guarantee increasing reflection of
the governing ideologies in the West by Germany's rank-and-file. The search
for the "anti-Semite," world wide, has become a Thought Police
witch hunt. Why is criticizing the Jewish Lobby and racist Zionism not
"rooted in democracy?"]
Germany's
defense minister denies anti-Semitism widespread in army,
Taipei Times (from REUTERS) Nov 7, 2003,
Page 6
"German Defense Minister Peter Struck said on Wednesday he was sure
that anti-Jewish views endorsed by a top general were not widespread in
the army and stressed all soldiers were taught in-depth about the Nazi
past. Struck fired the commander of the elite KSK special forces, Reinhard
Guenzel, on Tuesday after the brigadier-general wrote a letter of support,
on army notepaper, to a lawmaker who sparked outrage with comments widely
seen as belittling the Holocaust. Struck said soldiers receive extensive
training about Germany's "terrible past." Regular studies of the attitudes
of conscripts and professional soldiers, from privates to generals, are
made to ensure the Bundeswehr remains anchored in democracy. "I am completely
convinced that members of the armed forces, and especially the KSK, are
firmly rooted in democracy," Struck told a news conference. "I have no
reason to assume the general's views are shared -- quite the contrary."
Struck sacked Guenzel almost instantly after learning about a letter he
wrote in support of Martin Hohmann, a conservative member of parliament
under pressure to resign for saying that Jews, like Germans, could be
seen as "perpetrators." Struck said Guenzel's comments were "warped" and
he would study the 59-year-old's files for signs of extremist views. Guenzel
told Hohmann, a member of the Christian Democrats, most Germans shared
the lawmaker's views."
The Jewish Lobby has successfully driven the head of Germany's elite
commando squad into banishment: retirement. How will that look to his
troops? Per Hohmann, Jews WERE profoundly influential in the Russian secret
police: the Cheka. That's a historical fact. We have the citations
about it at JTR, from Jewish scholars.]
German
troops ‘must fight anti-Semitism’,
Expatica Germany, November 6, 2003
"German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder has lashed out at anti-Semitic
remarks by a general as a Frankfurt-based Jewish organization filed charges
of incitement against a conservative German parliament member who said
Jews were "a perpetrator people". "German forces are called upon at all
times to combat the forces of intolerance and anti-Semitism," the German
chancellor said. The Hessen State Jewish Community
lodged complaints of anti-Semitic utterances and incitement to xenophobic
violence against German parliament MP Martin Hohmann. The charges
come amid mounting pressure both within Hohmann's Christian Democratic
Union (CDU) party and elsewhere for him to resign from Germany's Bundestag
parliament. The head of Germany's elite KSK commando
force meanwhile has been dismissed for supporting Hohmann's remarks
in a letter to the CDU MP. The chancellor reinforced that ouster in a
speech to military forces. He said he wholeheartedly supported the decision
by Defence Minister Peter Struck to remove General Reinhard Guenzel as
head of the German army's 1,000-man Kommando Spezialkraefte (KSK). "These
anti-Semitic comments were foolhardy and deleterious to the military establishment
of our nation," said the chancellor. Guenzel, 59,
said in an open letter to Hohmann that he felt the anti-Semitic remarks
were "wholly justified". Guenzel will also be forced out of the armed
forces and put on early retirement ... At issue are remarks Hohmann
made a 3 October German Unity Day speech which argued that neither Germans
nor Jews could be saddled with collective guilt for events such as World
War II or the Russian Revolution. But there was fury over the speech in
which Hohmann said the large number of Jewish Bolsheviks
meant Jews had special responsibility for events of the Russian Revolution.
"We can, with certain justification, view the millions of dead in the
revolution's first phase and ask about the guilt of the Jews," said Hohmann
in the speech made in his home town of Neuhof near Fulda. Hohmann, a former
policeman and army major, said it was clear a large
number of Jews were active at the command level for the execution squads
of the dreaded Soviet secret police, the Cheka."

Now
Europeans see Israel as a threat to their existence. For the first time,
moral critique and self defence have coincided,
by Martin Woollacott, Guardian (UK), November
7, 2003
"Ever since its foundation, Israel has been troubled by the thought
that it might have as much to fear from supposed friends as from avowed
enemies. That is one reason why Israelis are often anxious monitors of
public opinion in North America and Europe. Their
anxiety, and perhaps their anger, showed a peak last week when the European
Union's polling organisation released figures showing that Europeans reckoned
Israel was a greater threat to world peace than any other country. The
results reinforced the Israeli sense that the distance between them and
the Europeans continues to grow and that the United States is their only
reliable partner. Most of the protests about the poll were disingenuous,
since they were couched in terms suggesting that a sampling of public
opinion somehow represents an act of European policy. But the poll itself
was certainly suspect. The question 7,500 Europeans answered was too general.
In particular, it left open whether the countries on the list were threats
through grave fault of their own or, if they were, whether they shared
that fault with another state or society with which they were in conflict.
An EU spokesman this week confirmed that the poll unit had no plans to
ask that particular question again in the near future. Flawed as the question
was, and misdirected as some of the protests were, the
poll results, nevertheless, do suggest - along with other evidence - that
there has been a critical change in European perceptions of Israel.
Europeans have, of course, always seen the conflict between Israelis and
Palestinians as a moral issue ... What is new since
September 11 is that Europeans sense a threat to their existence, and
not just to their interests ... Now, because there could be terrorist
acts on a new scale, they sense that devastation is indeed a possibility
... But, viscerally, Europeans believe they would be much safer if there
were such a settlement, and a majority probably believe that Israel is
much more to blame for the lack of it than the Palestinians. Since European
opinion was already running against Israel on other grounds, a
coincidence of moral critique and self defence emerges. This, it
may be speculated, was what was really measured by the poll. Europe's
feeling of vulnerability and its alienation from Israel have been deepened
by the difficult situation in Iraq; by the durability of the Sharon
government; by the judgment that the Israeli right is likely to stay in
power beyond Sharon; and by the American government's feebleness
and complicity in Israeli policies ... The Jerusalem Post ludicrously
described the poll as indicative of Europe's "profound intellectual and
ideological malaise" ... Israel, in any case, will have to accept that
it is properly subject to the rigorous scrutiny of those who may suffer,
as much as Israelis themselves, the bad consequences of their decisions."

In
rare Jewish appearance, George Soros says Jews and Israel cause anti-Semitism,
By Uriel Heilman, Jewish Telegraphic Agency,
November, 7, 2003
"It’s not often that George Soros, the billionaire financier
and philanthropist, makes an appearance before a Jewish audience. It’s
even rarer for him to use such an occasion to talk about Israel, Jews
and his own role in effecting political change. So when Soros stepped
to the podium Wednesday to address those issues at a conference of the
Jewish Funders Network, audience members were listening carefully. Many
were surprised by what they heard. When asked about anti-Semitism in Europe,
Soros, who is Jewish, said European anti-Semitism
is the result of the policies of Israel and the United States.
“There is a resurgence of anti-Semitism in Europe. The policies of the
Bush administration and the Sharon administration contribute to that,”
Soros said. “It’s not specifically anti-Semitism, but it does manifest
itself in anti-Semitism as well. I’m critical of those policies.” “If
we change that direction, then anti-Semitism also will diminish,” he said.
“I can’t see how one could confront it directly.” That is a point made
by Israel’s most vociferous critics, whom some Jewish activists charge
with using anti-Zionism as a guise for anti-Semitism. The
billionaire financier said he, too, bears some responsibility for the
new anti-Semitism, citing last month’s speech by Malaysia’s outgoing prime
minister, Mahathir Mohammad, who said, “Jews rule the world by proxy.”
“I’m also very concerned about my own role because
the new anti-Semitism holds that the Jews rule the world,” said Soros,
whose projects and funding have influenced governments and promoted various
political causes around the world. “As an
unintended consequence of my actions,” he said, “I also contribute to
that image.” After the conference, some Jewish leaders who heard
about the speech reacted angrily to Soros’ remarks. “Let’s understand
things clearly: Anti-Semitism is not caused by Jews;
it’s caused by anti-Semites,” said Elan Steinberg, senior
advisor at the World Jewish Congress. “One can certainly be critical of
Bush policy or Sharon policy, but any deviation from the understanding
of the real cause of anti-Semitism is not merely a disservice, but a historic
lie.” Abraham Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation
League, called Soros’ comments “absolutely obscene.” “He buys into
the stereotype,” Foxman said. “It’s a simplistic, counterproductive,
biased and bigoted perception of what’s out there. It’s blaming the victim
for all of Israel’s and the Jewish people’s ills.” Furthermore, Foxman
said, “If he sees that his position of being who he is may contribute
to the perception of anti-Semitism, what’s his solution to himself — that
he give up his money? That he close his mouth?” Associates said Soros’
appearance Wednesday was the first they could ever recall in which the
billionaire, a Hungarian-born U.S. Jew who escaped the Holocaust by fleeing
to London as a child, had spoken in front of a Jewish group or attended
a Jewish function. The one-day meeting on funding in Israel, which took
place at the Harvard Club in New York, was limited mostly to representatives
of Jewish philanthropic foundations. After Soros’
speech, Michael Steinhardt, the real-estate magnate and Jewish
philanthropist who arranged for Soros to address the group, said in an
interview that Soros’ views do not reflect those of most Jewish millionaires
or philanthropists. He also pointed out that this was Soros’ first
speech to a Jewish audience. Steinhardt
approached the lectern and interrupted Soros immediately after
his remarks on anti-Semitism. “George Soros does not think
Jews should be hated any more than they deserve to be,” Steinhardt
said by way of clarification, eliciting chuckles from the audience. Steinhardt
then gave the lectern back to Soros, who said he had something
to add to his remarks on the issue of anti-Semitism. Soros then paused
to ask if there were any journalists in the room. When
he learned that there were, Soros withheld further comment."
[So. Jewish billionaire George Soros isn't "spreading an anti-Semitic
message" for his honest comments above? Ernest Zundel is apparently
in jail for it.]
Holocaust-denier
says Canadian courts have no power over U.S.-based site,
by GREG BONNELL, Canadian Press, November
07, 2003
"Holocaust-denier Ernst Zundel told a judge Friday that Canadian
courts have no authority over a U.S.-based website administered by his
American wife that the Canadian Human Rights Commission says spreads
anti-Semitic messages. "Am I going to ask my wife, from my jail
cell, to enforce a ruling that does not apply to her?" Zundel replied
when asked if he'd comply with the commission's order to remove the offending
material from www.zundelsite.org. "I cannot. I have no means."
Zundel, 64, has repeatedly said he has no control over the website, and
told his detention review Friday that "there's no court in Canada that
can force my wife" to remove the material ... In January 2002, the tribunal
ruled that the site contravened the Canadian Human Rights Act and found
that Zundel had "effective control of the site." But defence lawyer Doug
Christie argued that "I can't stop her" was a perfectly valid defence
and that it was wrong of Blais to conclude Zundel was refusing to abide
by the ruling ... Throughout the review, which began in May, government
lawyers have repeatedly tried to link Zundel with other Holocaust-deniers
and white supremacists. Zundel was jailed in February when he was deported
to Canada from the United States for overstaying a visitor's visa. He
immediately applied for refugee status in Canada but was denied release
by the Immigration and Refugee Board three times before Ottawa suspended
the application May 2, one day after the security certificate was issued.
Once Zundel's detention review is complete, a judge must decide whether
the security certificate, much of it based on secret evidence from the
Canadian Security and Intelligence Service, is reasonable. Once approved,
the certificate becomes an immediate removal order. Zundel remains in
solitary confinement at Toronto's Metro West Detention Centre."

ADL's
Foxman: Mel Gibson 'Infected' With Anti-Semitism,
by Marc Morano, CNSNews.com, Nov. 8, 2003
"A prominent Jewish leader declared that movie actor and director
Mel Gibson was "seriously infected" with
anti-Semitic views, based on recent comments the Hollywood star has made
regarding his movie "The Passion of Christ." Abraham Foxman, the
national director of Anti-Defamation League, said, "I
think he's infected, seriously infected, with some very, very serious
anti-Semitic views." Foxman made the remarks at a panel
discussion titled "Mel Gibson's The Passion: A Conversation on Its Implications
for Jews and Christians." The discussion took place during the 90th annual
national meeting of ADL Thursday. In an interview with CNSNews.com after
the discussion, Foxman reiterated his comments about Gibson. "[Gibson's]
got classical anti-Semitic views. If he can say that there is a cabal
out there of secular liberal Jews who are trying to blame the Holocaust
on the Catholic Church, that's a classic anti-Semitic canard, that Jews
operate in cabals to get their way. "If he can say that somebody will
not permit him to make another move - who? Jewish Hollywood? The ADL?
When he can say that he now understands how Jesus felt now - not before
he made the film, not because the gospel inspired him, but now - because
he has been criticized and attacked. That's anti-Semitism," Foxman
told CNSNews.com. 'People in an Asylum' But William Donohue,
president of the conservative Catholic League for Religious and Civil
Rights, repudiated Foxman's comments about Gibson being "infected"
with anti-Semitic views. "I would regard this as
the most singular irresponsible statement we have heard yet from any one
of Mel Gibson's critics," Donohue told CNSNews.com. Donohue said
the comments about Gibson and his movie at ADL's panel discussion are
what you would "expect from people in an asylum."
Donohue, who has seen the movie, noted that none of the three panelists
featured at the ADL meeting on Thursday had yet to see the film. Conservative
media critic Michael Medved also lambasted Foxman for his
comments about Gibson. "I respect the ADL, but what [Foxman] is doing
is marginalizing himself," Medved told CNSNews.com. Medved,
the author of the book "Hollywood vs. America" and a nationally syndicated
radio talk show host, said it was "ridiculous" to say that Gibson holds
anti-Semitic views. "I think it's very sad, I really do. Sad and unnecessary,"
said Medved, an orthodox Jew. Foxman did attempt to qualify his
assertion regarding Gibson's views toward Jews. "I
don't think [Gibson is] the type of person who gets up in the morning
and says 'I want to get the Jews.' But does he have attitudes that are
anti-Semitic? Yes," Foxman said ... Foxman
claimed that "hate crimes [against Jews] go up Easter week worldwide"
because in many Christian churches, "the sermon is given about the passion,"
the suffering of Christ. Foxman noted that the reforms of the Second Vatican
Council, which Gibson reportedly opposes, responded to centuries of anti-Semitic
interpretations of Christ's crucifixion by issuing a document in 1965
called Nostra Aetate ... Foxman vowed that he would not give up
his public criticism of Gibson's film. "After [the] Holocaust, I don't
have the luxury to keep quiet about concerns about" anti-Semitism, Foxman
told reporters following the panel discussion. ... Steve Lyons,
an ADL member from California who watched the panel discussion, said that
Gibson might very well be an anti-Semite. "From what I have read, it appears
that way," Lyons told CNSNews.com ... Kenneth Jacobson,
the associate national director of ADL, said the
solution to ending the film controversy was for Gibson to alter the film
and present the story "in a way that could be pleasing to Christians and
not offend Jews." Medved, who has seen the film, said, "Mel
Gibson is obviously uninterested in Foxman's input on the film,
and the movie will come out, win critical praise and become a box-office
hit in spite of any ADL fulminations." Medved said the ADL's criticisms
of Gibson's film were not helping Jews. Medved: ADL Fuels Anti-Semitism
"My concern is that the campaign against 'The Passion'
is provoking far more anti-Semitism than the movie itself ever could,"
Medved said. "It's a battle, frankly that the Jewish community
doesn't need." Jennifer Giroux, the foundation director of the group Women
Influencing the Nation (W.I.N.) and founder of the Web site See the Passion,
called the ADL panel's rhetoric "intellectually reckless and irresponsible."
'Hate Crime' "I think [Foxman] has now defined
what a verbal hate crime is, because he just committed it against Mel
Gibson," she told CNSNews.com."

National
outcry over speech. Calls intensify for party ousting of allegedly anti-Semitic
Christian Democrat,
By Heidi Sylvester, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
(Germany), November 7, 2003
"Calls for an exclusion of Martin Hohmann from his party's parliamentary
faction grew louder this week, although the Christian Democrat by Monday
had apologized for parts of his Oct. 3 speech in which he
called the Jews “a race of perpetrators.“ Hohmann,
an otherwise obscure member of parliament, had suggested that Jews had
served in leadership positions and death squads during the Russian Revolution,
making them culpable in the same way that Germans were held responsible
for the Holocaust. An increasingly pressured Hohmann on Monday
expressed regret for his remarks, stating in a press release: “It was
not my intention to deny the uniqueness of the Holocaust“ nor “to describe
the Jews as a race of perpetrators.“ Hohmann's remarks drew hefty criticism
from politicians across the spectrum. CDU leader Angela Merkel on Monday
described the statements as “completely unacceptable and intolerable.“
Nonetheless, the parliamentarian has only been reprimanded with the threat
that he would face further consequences if such remarks were repeated.
He will, however, have to switch from the CDU faction's interior committee
to the environmental committee. While the circumstances
make sacking the parliamentarian difficult, Paul Spiegel, the president
of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, criticized the CDU's weak response
to the issue, saying that Hohmann's statement was the worst case of anti-Semitism
he had come across in the past few decades. Spiegel's organization has
also filed a complaint against Hohmann for violating Germany's law against
inciting racial hatred. If found guilty, Hohmann, who has frequently been
accused of holding extremist views, could face a fine or a jail sentence
of up to five years. The Israeli ambassador to Germany, Shimon
Stein, also demanded more wide-ranging consequences. Hohmann's remarks
weren't “a slip of the tongue,“ but “old anti-Semitism,“ Stein
said in an interview with a Berlin radio broadcaster. The scandal intensified
on Tuesday after Defense Minister Peter Struck sacked Reinhard Günzel,
a general commanding an elite army force, for backing Hohmann's statements.
Günzel was dismissed after it was revealed that he had sent a letter to
Hohmann backing his assertions and praising, among other things, Hohmann's
“excellent speech.“ Struck said the affair had not only damaged the image
of Germany but also the international reputation of the
Bundeswehr armed forces, which some fear are a hotbed of anti-Semitic
beliefs."

German
locals wrestle with Jewish row,
By Ray Furlong, BBC (UK), November 5, 2003
"In the Schutzenhof pub in the centre of Neuhof, the single customer
didn't want to speak about Martin Hohmann. "I don't
want to face criminal prosecution too," he said, nursing a mid-morning
beer and poring over a fax with the latest news on the anti-Semitism scandal
that's propelled this town of 12,000 people into national headlines. Local
Christian Democrat (CDU) MP Martin Hohmann is currently under investigation
for inciting racial hatred after a speech he made here a month ago. In
it, he suggested that Jewish people had served in leadership positions
and death squads during the Russian revolution - making
Jews culpable in the same way that Germans were held responsible for the
Holocaust. Martin Hohmann's constituents are unfazed by his remarks
"There was a calm atmosphere in the hall, nobody dared to say anything
against Mr Hohmann," says Helmut Moeller, a Social Democrat (SPD) MP who
witnessed the speech. "Afterwards there was polite applause. I felt unhappy
about it and left.'" But many people in Neuhof,
an orderly town of well-kept gardens and tidy streets, stand by Mr Hohmann.
"He was just telling the truth - if you read history, you know what happened,"
said an employee at a car repair shop on the edge of town. "It's
not just Germans who have done bad things. Other nations have too." A
woman from a neighbouring office also stood up for Mr Hohmann. People
here were not surprised about what he was saying, but by the national
media reaction. We were too ... The content of the speech was only brought
to national attention quite by chance a month later, when someone in the
United States noticed it on the internet. Since becoming national news,
Mr Hohmann has apologised for his views and been disciplined by the CDU.
But the scandal keeps growing. The head of Germany's elite special forces,
Reinhard Guenzel, was sacked on Tuesday for writing a letter of support
to Mr Hohmann. It's prompted calls for an inquiry into extremism in the
armed forces, and a war of words between politicians in Berlin."

Analysis:
Jews flooding into Germany,
By Uwe Siemon-Netto, UPI, June 5, 2003
"The turbulent relationship between Jews and Germany is taking yet
another stunning turn. Seventy years after Hitler's ascendance to power
and 60 years after the Holocaust, more Jews are
flooding into Germany than into any other country, Israel included. This
makes Germany the one nation with the fastest-growing Jewish community
in the world ... As a result of this accelerating migration, the
Jewish population in Germany has swollen from 33,000 in 1990, the year
of that nation's reunification, to 200,000 today, according to Schoeps.
Before World War II more than half a million Jews lived in that country.
At the end of the war there were only 15,000 left. But in 2002, 19,262
Jews from the former Soviet Commonwealth of Independent States settled
in Germany, compared with 18,878 who went to Israel and fewer than 10,000
who were admitted into the United States. German consulates in CIS cities
report that 70,000 more Jews have already applied for resettlement visas.
In addition, thousands of Israelis, whose parents had fled to Palestine
in the Nazi years, are now claiming German passports to which they are
entitled by German law."

say Jewish citizens aren't 'real Italians',

"A poll published Monday showed that Italians have mixed feelings
about Israel and Jews, with 22 percent of those polled saying fellow Jewish
citizens are not "real Italians," and 51 percent saying Jews have a different
mentality and way of life from the rest of Italians. The poll, published
in the Corriere della Sera newspaper, showed
that 52 percent of Italians have little sympathy
for the Jewish state, while 42 percent do. Seventy percent said
Israel has a right to exist although its government makes mistakes, while
17 percent said it would be better if the Jewish state didn't exist."

German
conservatives launch ouster of lawmaker accused of anti-Semitism,
by TONY CZUCZKA, San Francisco Chronicle,
November 10, 2003
"Germany's main conservative party ended two weeks of wavering and
yielded to mounting outrage over an anti-Semitism scandal Monday,
saying it would seek the expulsion of a lawmaker who compared Jews with
Nazis. Roland Koch, the governor of Hesse, said he would propose to the
conservative party's state branch that lawmaker Martin Hohmann be expelled
from the party. Hohmann has been widely criticized
for a remark comparing the Jews with the Nazis during an Oct. 3
speech marking German Unity Day. The announcement was a reversal for the
Christian Democrats, who had said earlier they would not move against
Hohmann and defended his right to speak out.
It came after the scandal brought down one of Germany's
top generals and set off worries about the country's reputation
abroad. Jewish leaders and politicians from all
the mainstream parties had increasingly called for Hohmann's removal
... Hohmann, whose district is in Hesse, has been accused of anti-Semitic
stereotyping for suggesting that if the Germans were a "guilty people,"
the same could apply to Jews because of their role in Russia's 1917 communist
revolution. Hohmann later apologized and was reprimanded by his party.
As late as Monday morning, Meyer defended Hohmann's right to speak out
and said he had been sufficiently punished. But the party said it acted
after Christian Democrat leaders in parliament again confronted Hohmann
on Monday and he refused to distance himself more clearly from his remarks.
Several dozen people walked out of a Frankfurt synagogue during a Sunday
night ceremony marking the Nov. 9, 1938 Kristallnacht Nazi pogrom against
German Jews when Koch defended the party's reluctance to oust the lawmaker
from its parliamentary caucus, witnesses and media reports said. Although
Koch was quoted as condemning the lawmaker's remarks in his speech, the
flap injected a sour note into the 65th anniversary of Kristallnacht,
or the Night of Broken Glass, which Germany's Jewish community marked
by laying the cornerstone for a new main synagogue in Munich. The scandal
widened last week when the Defense Ministry fired Brig. Gen. Reinhard
Guenzel, the commander of Germany's special forces, after he wrote a letter
to Hohmann praising his "courage" for making the speech. Many in the Christian
Democrats -- the party formerly led by Helmut Kohl that has governed Germany
for most of the postwar era -- fear he could speak
more freely if he no longer faces the constraint
of party discipline."

Palestinian
daily: Israel strangling the world Official PA publication depicts Jews
as threat to entire planet,
World Net Daily, November 11, 2003
"Amid what some analysts are calling a new wave of anti-Semitism,
the official Palestinian daily newspaper published a cartoon depicting
the oft-repeated charge Jews are a danger to the world. The
cartoon in Al Hayat Al Jadida plays off a recent European poll
showing nearly 60 percent of those surveyed believe Israel is the greatest
threat to peace in the world today. "The doctrine that Jews endanger
the entire world has been a common theme of anti-Semites throughout history,"
commented Itamar Marcus of Israel-based Palestinian
Media Watch. "Often they create a specified threat, as in the 'poison
wells' lie in the Middle Ages," Marcus said. "Other times Jews
are depicted as a general universal threat, as a larger-than-life evil
threatening humanity." Marcus notes Malaysia's recently retired
Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad's comment on the European poll. Mohamad
asserted: "The reaction of the world shows that
[Jews] do control the world." "There are not many Jews in the world,"
he said. "But they are so arrogant that they defy the whole world."
The poll was conducted in 15 European countries. In the survey, 500 people
from each of the 15 EU countries were asked which state they regard as
most dangerous to world peace. According to the
results, 59 percent believe Israel tops the list, and 52 percent positioned
the U.S. in second place ... The information age, particularly
with the advent of the Web, said Weitzman, has helped spread the hate
material. In her new book, "The New Anti-Semitism: The Current Crisis
and What We Must Do About It," Phyllis Chesler argues a
dangerous, worldwide coalition of forces have joined together to blame
the Jews and the Jewish state for the current state of turmoil around
the world. This Orwellian force, Chesler says, comprises Islamic
terrorists, well-intentioned but misinformed students, right-wing
fascists, left-wing ideologues, pious academics, feminists, opportunistic
European politicians and sensation-seeking international media."
Israel
complains about Greek composer's anti-Semitic remarks,
Haaretz (Israel), November 12, 2003
"Israel has complained to the Greek government about comments by
composer Mikis Theodorakis, who called Jews "the
root of evil" and dismissed key Biblical figures as mere "shadows,"
a diplomatic source said Wednesday. The source, who requested anonymity,
said the Israeli Embassy in Athens pointed out the "gravity" of the remarks
by Theodorakis, who is best known for the score of the 1964 film "Zorba
the Greek." The Foreign Ministry issued a statement denouncing the comments
as "anti-Semitic" and expressing "sorrow that such remarks were made by
a personality of his stature." Meanwhile, the Foreign
Ministry has also found that Israel is perceived as a provocative, unreliable
country whose agenda is controlled by a handful of settlers, Army
Radio reported Wednesday. The findings were contained in a draft document
on Israel's image in the world, which also indicated rising international
criticism against Israeli policies, the radio reported. Sympathy
for the Palestinians is high in Greece and protests are often held to
criticize Israel's actions in the Palestinian territories. "We
are two nations without brothers in the world, us and the Jews, but they
have fanaticism and are forceful," Theodorakis said at a November 4 news
conference to promote his book "Where Can I Find My Soul." The event was
attended by some senior government officials. "Today
we can say that this small nation [Israel]
is the root of evil, not of good, which means that too much self importance
and too much stubbornness is evil," he told the audience of journalists
and officials, including Cultural Minister Evangelos Venizelos and Education
Minister Petros Efthimiou. According to the daily Apogevmatini,
Theodorakis said Greece "did not turn aggressive like them" because of
its rich history. "They only had Abraham and Jacob, shadows... We had
the great Pericles here," Theodorakis was quoted as saying. Theodorakis
often grabs headlines with his blunt remarks, particularly against the
U.S. government. After the U.S.-led attacks on Iraq, he described Americans
as "disgusting, cruel and cowardly murderers." Israeli and Jewish leaders
have expressed fears of a resurgence in anti-Semitism in Europe. European
and EU leaders have also condemned the results of a recent Eurobarometer
poll, indicating that 59 percent of the EU's citizens consider Israel
the main threat to peace, closely followed by the United States, Iran
and North Korea, each with 53 percent."

Jewry. Never again? Anti-Semitism is rising to historic levels, writes
ADL’s Foxman,
by Rachel Pomerance, Virtual Jerusalem
"If Abraham Foxman’s predictions are right, “we currently
face as great a threat to the safety and security of the Jewish people
as the one we faced in the 1930s — if not a greater one.” That’s the case
the national director of the Anti-Defamation League, a child Holocaust
survivor, makes in his new book, “Never Again? The Threat of the New
Anti-Semitism.” In his opening address at the ADL’s 90th annual meeting
in New York on Nov. 6, Foxman anchored today’s “sobering times”
in another anniversary — the 65th anniversary of Kristallnacht, the Nazi-inspired
pogrom in Germany and Austria on the night of Nov. 9-10 that presaged
the Holocaust. Kristallnacht, when Nazi-inspired rioters stormed the streets
torching synagogues and beating Jews, is a stark reminder that anti-Semitic
persecution “started with glass” and “ended with flesh,” Foxman
said. Today’s version primarily is hidden under
the guise of anti-Zionism, he said. Holding Israel to a double
standard and questioning the Jewish right to self-determination smacks
of anti-Semitism, Foxman and others argue. Today’s anti-Israel messages
carry broad appeal, finding champions among the right and left, with bigots
and anti-colonialists adhering to the cause. Globalization and the Internet
allow anti-Israel tirades that dehumanize Jews and delegitimize Israel
to move around the world in seconds ... The idea that Jews are more vulnerable
today than in the 1930s is “absurd,” said Steven M. Cohen, a sociologist
of American Jewry and professor at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.
“We have the most powerful military in Jewish history”
in the State of Israel, Cohen said, “and
possibly the most influential Diaspora Jewry since Joseph sat next to
Pharoah on the throne of Egypt" ... Like Foxman, other
Jewish leaders are topping their agendas with talk of the “new anti-Semitism.”
Sallai Meridor, chairman of the World Zionist Organization and
the Jewish Agency for Israel, has proposed an “international
campaign on behalf of Zionism and against hatred of Israel and the new
anti Semitism.” The Zionist General Council, an international body of
Zionist groups that is meeting this week in Jerusalem, is slated to discuss
putting the issue at the center of its activities in the coming year.
According to Foxman, Israel has few friends. With the United Nations
a bully pulpit for the Palestinian cause, the Jewish
state often finds itself allied only with America and Micronesia,
he said. Simply put, Israel has become “the Jew
of nations,” Foxman told Wolf Blitzer last week in
a CNN interview — shunned, hounded and persecuted."

AROUND
THE JEWISH WORLD. After rise in Dutch anti-Semitism, Kristallnacht event
draws crowds ,
Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Nov. 12, 2003
"Most years, Holland’s commemoration of Kristallnacht is a low-key
affair, drawing a few hundred people at best. This year, on the commemoration
of the 1938 pogrom that roiled Germany and Austria, more than 1,000 people
showed up to protest the rise of anti-Semitism in Holland. The rally passed
peacefully except for an incident when three members of the new Dutch
branch of the militant Jewish Defense League insisted on participating
in the commemoration. The three were arrested for disturbing the peace
but were released shortly afterward. Quite a few participants at the rally
have had their own experiences of anti-Semitism recently. In some parts
of Amsterdam — where most Dutch Jews live — Jews are afraid to wear yarmulkes
when they go out. Anti-Semitic name calling has become more frequent and
Holocaust education in high schools is occasionally sabotaged by students,
who sometimes even threaten teachers when they bring up the subject in
class. In a recent European Union poll, 74 percent
of Dutch respondents said they considered Israel the greatest threat to
world peace — the highest percentage in Europe. Critics of the
poll say the questions were tendentious and misleading, but Dutch Jews
nevertheless are concerned that so many people in Holland view Israel
so negatively. The findings were especially shocking considering that
Holland once was one of Israel’s staunchest supporters, and Dutch citizens
used to display bumper stickers saying they stood behind the Jewish state.
At the rally, Job Cohen, the Jewish mayor
of Amsterdam, pledged to “keep the city together” despite ethnic
and cultural tensions. It is “shocking and shameful” to have to warn of
increasing anti-Semitism in Holland’s leading city, he told the rally."

Gotta Be Kidding,

"Barry Morrison, executive director of the Philadelphia branch
of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), is on the line, reminding me about
the time when a guy suggested that someone slit my throat, like they did
to Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl. Oh yeah. The
guy who called me a "Jew spy" for reporting where Dick Cheney hides. After
a few minutes of chitchat about old times, Morrison segues into
a discussion about a group that believes in "reparations" -- payments
to blacks as compensation for the ills imposed on African slaves. Reparations?
The ADL wants to know from reparations? Well, sort of. Morrison
asks me if I know about the reparations conference being held in Philly
over the weekend. I tell him I do. He asks if I am going. Probably not,
I answer. Why? And here comes the punch line to this story. With
the reparationistas in town, Morrison asks me how I would like
to spy on them for him. The invitation, let me tell you, shocks and offends.
If I didn't spy for the FBI when they asked me to lure an espionage suspect
into a sting, why would I spy for Morrison and the ADL? He
is dismayed a bit when I tell him I won't do it. There will be some anti-Semitic
nutballs in town to discuss whether the United States should pay reparations,
he argues. People like Dr. Leonard Jeffries, the CUNY professor who once
referred to Jews as "skunks." The ADL wants to know
what they are up to, but they can't get anyone in. "Can
you or one of your reporters give us some information?" Morrison
asks. I am not a big fan of reparations. Then again, I don't want any
money from the families of Nazis. But regardless of what I think about
reparations, and regardless that I feel that Morrison's outfit does important
work, there is no way I am going to give any information to the ADL. Or
anyone else ... I have friends and sources in every community. Blacks,
whites, Asians, Latinos, Jews, Christians, Muslims, Arabs, LGBT, everybody.
Who would talk to me if I were a font of intel for the ADL? It's hard
enough getting people to trust the media, Barry. I hope I am not
the only one to turn you down."

Phobia
of Jews?,
The Phobia Clinic
"The Phobia Clinic's 24-hour Judeophobia and Fear of Jewish People
program offers guaranteed relief. Is it worth just 24 hours of your time
to learn to live without the fear forever? PHOBIA OF JEWS: (Judeophobia
and Fear of Jewish People) 1: phobia of jews: a persistent, abnormal,
and unwarranted fear of jewish people , despite the understanding by the
phobic individual and reassurance by others that there is no danger. 2:
phobia of jews: a strong fear of, dislike of, or aversion to jewish people.
"[The Phobia Clinic's] bold promise — that clients remove their fears
and phobias forever — gives readers good reason to pause..." Our board-certified
team specializes in helping individuals overcome fears, phobias & anxiety
of all kinds, and is particularly focused on problems such as phobia of
jews. With a success rate close to 100% ... What is Phobia Of Jews? Defined
as "a persistent, abnormal, and irrational fear of jewish people", each
year, this surprisingly common phobia causes
countless people needless distress. To add insult to an already distressing
condition, most phobia of jews therapies take months or years and sometimes
even require the patient to be exposed repeatedly to their fear. We believe
that not only is this totally unnecessary, it will often make the condition
worse. And it is particularly cruel as phobia of jews can be eliminated
with the right methods and just 24 hours of commitment
by the phobic individual. Known by a number of names
Judeophobia and Fear of Jewish People being the most common, the
problem often significantly impacts the quality of life. It can cause
panic attacks and keep people apart from loved ones and business associates.
Symptoms typically include shortness of breath, rapid breathing, irregular
heartbeat, sweating, nausea, and overall feelings of dread, although everyone
experiences phobia of jews in their own way and may have different symptoms.
Though a variety of potent drugs are often prescribed for phobia of jews,
side effects and/or withdrawal symptoms can be severe. Moreover, drugs
do not "cure" phobia of jews or any other phobia. At best they temporarily
suppress the symptoms through chemical interaction. The good news is that
the modern, fast, drug-free process we use at The
Phobia Clinic will train your mind to feel completely different about
Jewish People, eliminating the fear so it never haunts you again.
Consider the true cost of living with Phobia Of Jews. If you are living
with Phobia of Jews, what is the real cost to your health, your career
or school, and to your family life? Avoiding the issue indefinitely would
mean resigning yourself to living in fear – missing out on priceless life
experiences big and small – living a life that is just a shadow of what
it will be when the problem is gone. For anyone earning a living or at
school, the financial toll of this phobia is incalculable.
Living with fear means you can never concentrate fully and give your best.
Lost opportunities. Poor performance or grades. Promotions that pass you
by. Phobia of Jews will likely cost you tens, even
hundreds of thousands of dollars over the course of your lifetime
–– let alone the cost to your health and quality of life. Now Phobia of
Jews can be gone for less than the price of a round-trip airline ticket,
or a few weeks of drugs or conventional therapy ... Like all fears and
phobias, Phobia of Jews is created by the unconscious
mind as a protective mechanism. At some point in your past, there was
likely an event linking Jewish People and emotional trauma. Whilst the
original catalyst may have been a real-life scare of some kind, the condition
can also be triggered by myriad, benign events like movies, TV, or perhaps
seeing someone else experience trauma. But so long as the negative association
is powerful enough, the unconscious mind thinks: "Ahh, this whole thing
is clearly very dangerous. How do I keep myself from getting in this kind
of situation again? I know, I'll attach terrible feelings to Jewish People
–– that way I'll steer clear in future and so be safe." Just like that
Phobia of Jews is born ... How Long Does it Take to get rid of
Phobia Of Jews? How Much Does it Cost? The Phobia Of Jews Clinic at The
Phobia Clinic™ is entirely results-focused, so we charge you for the result
you want: freedom from Phobia of Jews - regardless of how long it takes.
The process usually requires no more than ten hours. In exceptional cases
we can achieve a favorable result in two to three. But because we guarantee

Israel
proposes council to fight anti-Semitism,
stuff.co (New Zealand), November 18, 2003
"BRUSSELS: Israeli Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom says anti-Semitism
is creeping back into Europe and he will propose setting up a joint ministerial
council with the European Union to fight it off. "Unfortunately, recently
we...noticed that some signals of anti-Semitism are back in Europe," Shalom
said in an interview yesterday before meeting European Union foreign ministers.
"I would like to ask all of them tonight to form
a ministerial council of Europe and Israel that will fight together
against this phenomenon of anti-Semitism. I believe that we should do
it immediately." Charges of anti-Semitism were fuelled this month when
a controversial opinion poll carried out by the EU's executive, the European
Commission, found that more Europeans see Israel
as a threat to world peace than any other country. While Shalom
met his EU counterparts in Brussels, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon
flew to Rome to enlist the bloc's current president, Italy, in stemming
what he calls a rise in European anti-Semitism. Sharon's spokesman
Raanan Gissin described Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi as "a
staunch fighter against anti-Semitism, and therefore I think he will be
open to our complaints and also to action that can be taken in Europe
to stop this". Berlusconi met the head of the European Jewish Congress,
Cobi Benatoff, in Milan on Monday ahead of the prime minister's
talks with Sharon. BERLUSCONI TO RAISE EU AWARENESS Berlusconi's
office said Benatoff had expressed concern about what he said were
new forms of anti-Semitism in Europe. The prime minister replied that
the Italian EU presidency would work to further raise awareness among
its European partners over this (anti-Semitic) phenomenon. Shalom
told Jewish leaders last week that foreign criticism of Israel's "right
to use force to defend itself" in its conflict with the Palestinians stemmed
from a new type of anti-Semitism that effectively denied Israel's "birthright
to exist". He said yesterday that for many years it appeared to
Israel that Europe "had a very pro-Palestinian attitude" ... Some
EU officials are concerned however at what they see as a tendency to stigmatise
legitimate criticism of Israel's policies towards the Palestinians as
anti-Semitic."
