[The usual circle: a band of Jewish "oligarchs" loot Russia and Ukraine, a Canadian Russian language newspaper reports this, the Jewish Lobby complains and screams "Antisemitism," and -- ho! -- the owner of the offending paper is ALSO Jewish.

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.”

[Shielding Jewish racism by screaming "Antisemitism!" has become institutionalized. It is a Jewish reflex action and the Jewish Thought Police are everywhere. ALWAYS try to decipher if a news author is Jewish. You're looking for bias, especially per Israel. You're looking for what's selectively stated -- and selectively hidden.]
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."

[The endless Jewish apologetic rolls on. Anyone dare to criticize 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."

On the other hand, American Jews overwhelmingly support the brutally violent militarization -- from guns and fighter jets to nuclear bombs -- of racist Israel. Billions of U.S. dollars fund the obscene growth of the Israeli army. In the Jewish state, Jews walking around with guns is nearly as common as carrying groceries.]

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."

[Jewish convert to the Russian Orthodox Church makes sure attention 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."

Jewish 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".

Rockland Pol Blasts ‘Evil’ Rabbi. Defense against inflammatory comments gets Legislature hopeful in even hotter water,
by Adam Dickter, Jewish Week, October 24, 2003
"A Spring Valley village trustee who is running for the Rockland County Legislature is having a rough time weathering the storm following his controversial comments about Jewish influence. Demeza Delhomme in an interview Monday with The Jewish Week blasted the Monsey rabbi who made public his remarks on cable TV as “evil.” On the same day, he reportedly told the Journal News of Rockland that he considered the rabbi, Justin Schwartz, a person “with 20 horns on his head, raping our community at large.” The latest comments follow statements made in Creole on a show aimed at fellow Haitian Americans. Delhomme accuses “the white man, the Jew” of creating policies that leave others behind. He adds later that “the poor person who used to give to the collection at church cannot do so anymore — it goes into the Jew’s pocket,” according to a transcript distributed to local officials and the media, including The Jewish Week, by Rabbi Schwartz."

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 particular, Seimas Chairman Arturas Paulauskas told Lithuanian radio that Rivlin's visit "was not something that could serve the improvement of our relations or better understanding of our positions."

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?"

The claims were made in two interviews to boxing websites by Judd Burstein, and American Jewish lawyer who represents world heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis ...

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.

[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."

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."

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."

Israel Attacks Ramadan Series For 'Anti-Semitism',
Islam Online (Egypt), October 24, 2003
"A new Arab miniseries on the evolution of Zionism and the creation of Israel has come under fire for alleged accusations of containing anti-Semitic 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 TV. Promoted as political drama, the miniseries traces back Zionism at all political, economic and religious levels, and unmasking ways used by the Jews to create their "fictitious" entity in Palestinian territories, said the statement obtained by IslamOnline.net Thursday, October 23. Putting 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."

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 3, 2003 09:53 PM EST
"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.

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 agreement with Malayasian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad's comment that Jews run the world. The likes of the ADL are at the heart of the widening gulf between America's ISRAEL foreign policy and the Muslim world. What do leaders of Somalia, Yemen, Malyasia, Iran, Egypt, Pakistan, etc. all have in common? For the Jewish-run Western world view, they are "anti-Semites," all.]

Anti-Defamation League
“He (Mahathir) said the truth! There are more than a billion Muslims in the world, and they see that there is 4th World war is going against them. They see Israel as the main catalyst of this war, and this is not false. The media outlets who publishing bad articles about Islam are headed by Semites. The biggest banks and world corporations are run by Jews... This is a national talent of the Jews. Jews, who are no more than 16 millions in the world, captured power over the world. All banks, companies, the key "pain" points - everything is captured by Jews, and in our country too.... Today anti-Semitism is a powerful tool for solidarity of Muslim nations faced common threat. This tool today is similar to the way anti-Communism was used in the past for Western courtiers. " Vladimir Zhirinovsky, the well-known leader of extremist Russian Liberal Democratic party, October 29, 2003
"It was a brilliant speech. Very logical. Anti-Semitism is a product of the West. Muslims are not anti-Semitic." Iranian President Mohammad Khatami
"I'm sorry that they have misunderstood the whole thing. ... Please forget about anti-Semitism ... The PM's message is to stop violence, which is not the answer for us to succeed in our struggle. People may not be very happy but this is the reality: the Jews are very powerful." Malaysian Foreign Minister Syed Hamid Albar
"I am sure he did not ask to go to war against the Jews." Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf
"This was a pep talk to the Muslim countries for them to work hard and look to the future, but as soon as you have any criticism of Israel, then there are people who are very eager to rush to condemnation, even without comprehending what it's all about." Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Maher
"The prime minister was not inciting war. He was just saying that we should be united to face threats from many quarters, including Israel." Somalian President Abdiqasim Salad Hassan
"I don't think they were anti-Semitic at all. I think he was basically stating the fact to the Muslim world." Yemen Foreign Minister Abubakar al-Qirbi

[Wouldn't it be interesting if such a petititon below instigated a parallel petition to the American Jewish Congress to put back online the censored article by one of AJC's own officals about how Jewish tradition has always accepted responsibility for the death of Jesus?

'Homes & Gardens' Admits Publication of 1938 Pro-Hitler Article Was 'Appalling,' 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."

Munich Neo-Nazis to stand trial for planned attack on Jewish centre,

"German federal prosecutor Kay Nehm has announced that 13 of the 14 Neo-Nazis, who allegedly planned to bomb the under-construction Jewish centre in Munich, will be put on trial early next year. The charge is membership in or support of a terrorist organisation. The 14 Neo-Nazis were seized in September after police uncovered their intention to bomb the Jewish cultural centre. The Neo-Nazis had already obtained the explosives for the planned attack, according to the Sueddeutsche Zeitung newspaper."

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."

Italians say Jewish citizens aren't 'real Italians',
Jerusalem Post, November 10, 2003
"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."

World 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."

Jew Gotta Be Kidding,
by Howard Altman, City Paper (Philadeolphia), November 13, 19, 2003

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."

"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.

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."
