[It doesn't matter that this woman is Jewish. The Jewish Thought Police declares who is to be considered "anti-Semitic," even among their own, and that's really all that matters. It is a totalitarian web, and even Jews are subject to moral and intellectual suffocation if they step out of line. Of course we don't get to see her arguments here. We are merely told the smear that she apparently has a strand of "anti-Semitism" in her work. The damage is done, unless she yet comes crawling to Zionism.]
Lancaster rescues embattled linguist,
by Steve Farrar and Clare Chapman, The Times Higher Education Supplement (UK), "An internationally renowned linguist has quit Austria for the UK amid a row tainted by allegations of political intolerance, anti-Semitism and misrepresentation. Ruth Wodak accepted a personal chair at Lancaster University after the Austrian Academy of Science declined to fund her work, partly because some felt her analysis of discourses on racism and national identity cast Austria in a bad light. The Jewish researcher, who is the second most-cited scholar in discourse studies, was both the first woman and the first social scientist to win Austria's Wittgenstein prize, which gave her funding for six years. In that time, her research group produced 40 books and more than 200 articles. The group had been earmarked for more support from the academy to work on European identities. Professor Wodak had already been encouraged to begin field studies for the new project when members of the academy's philosophical-historical section voted 19 to 18 to reject her as the head of the group. The entire project was then ditched. Professor Wodak was outraged. She told The THES: "If my research had been approved, I would probably have stayed in Vienna to carry it out. As it is, I'm looking forward to leaving Austria and working in the UK. "I was not given the chance to defend myself against false accusations. The manner in which the academy handled the matter was unprofessional and contrary to all international standards." One of Professor Wodak's leading opponents is Wolfgang Brezinka, a member of the academy and a professor of education from Innsbruck, who accused her of pursuing political action under the cover of scholarship. But Professor Wodak showed that he had misquoted her, in effect distorting the meaning of her words, while making his case. Herbert Mattis, vice-president of the academy, admitted that some members thought that Professor Wodak had acted as if she were a spokesperson for the academy through work that they believed reflected badly on Austria."

[Boris Berezovsky, the corrupt billionaire criminal, looter of Russia, and well-documented "Godfather of the Kremlin," is one of those many Jews who are destroying the "accusation of anti-Semitism" tool. The credibility of calling someone an "anti-Semite" continues to plummet. Any Jewish mafioso will claim "anti-Semitism," sooner or later. Khodorkovsky is also Jewish.]
Tycoon accuses Swiss authorities of anti-Semitism,
The Russia Journal, November 18, 2003 Posted: 11:34 Moscow time (07:34 GMT) "Boris Berezovsky, Russian tycoon who was granted refugee status in Britain after fleeing Moscow, said the opening of a Swiss money-laundering investigation against him was an "anti-Semitic act". The oligarch accused Swiss authorities of applying double standards. "Swiss authorities try to hide the crime of the Nazis in Swiss banks. I think it is just a continuation of the same game," Mr. Berezovsky, who is Jewish, told The Associated Press in a telephone interview from London. He said he did not believe it was an independent decision of Swiss prosecutors. According to Mr. Berezovsky, he has direct evidence that the prosecutors got false information from Russian intelligence agencies. The office of Swiss Federal Prosecutor Valentin Roschacher confirmed Sunday that it had opened the investigation, which is linked to Russian claims that Mr. Berezovsky and an associate defrauded a Russian regional government of the equivalent of $13m in the mid-1990s by stealing cars from Russia's largest automaker AvtoVaz. On Sunday, Swiss authorities launched a formal investigation into alleged money laundering and membership of a criminal organization by Boris Berezovsky. According to Mr. Roschacher, the probe is purely a criminal investigation and is unrelated to the recent arrest in Russia of Mikhail Khodorkovsky, the head of the YUKOS oil company who resigned as the company’s CEO after the arrest. "We are concerned with criminal justice, not politics," Mr. Roschacher told AP. "We just want to know which of Mr. Berezovsky's activities in Switzerland were legal and which ones might have been illegal," he added. The businessman has been granted political asylum and refugee status in Britain. In September, London’s Bow Street Magistrates Court discharged the extradition proceedings against Mr. Berezovsky, who faces money laundering and fraud charges in his homeland."

[It is important to understand that the central rift between the U.S. and Europe is Judeocentrism and the Jewish Lobby, particularly regarding Israel, the American wars for Israel against Islam, and "anti-Semitism." The organized Jewish Lobby is at the core of spoiling relations between America and its largely European historical ties. The increasing "Islamicization" of Europe is also a result of the multiculturalist movement, of which world Jewry has been in the vanguard, and which has provided a hiding place for international Zionism. Ah, but a profound backlash against Israel is forming. In a discussion of whether or not Europeans are "cockroaches," we can rest assured that the author of this piece is Jewish.

Europeans are worse than cockroaches. There is a Cold War between the US and the EU, says Mark Steyn, and it will end with the collapse of Old Europe,
by Mark Steyn, The Spectator (UK), November 8, 2003
"On 11 September 2001, I wrote that one of the casualties of the day’s events would be the Western alliance: ‘The US taxpayer’s willingness to pay for the defence of Canada and Europe has contributed to the decay of America’s so-called “allies”, freeing them to disband their armed forces, flirt with dictators and gangster states, and essentially convert themselves to semi-non-aligned.’ ‘The West’ was an obsolete concept, because, as I put it later that month, for everyone but America ‘the free world is mostly a free ride’. Two years on, most governments, at least officially, and most commentators, at least in the mainstream press, still don’t believe the relationship between America and its ‘allies’ is in a terminal state. But the above quartet of stories — and you can find equivalent items any week — illustrates why it can’t be put back together. One: Mr Collenette’s response to terrorists is to take it out on their targets. Terrorists are threatening to use SAMs against El Al [the Israeli ariline]? No problem, we’ll get rid of El Al. That’s a great message to send. How soon before similar threats are phoned in to similarly jelly-spined jurisdictions in Europe? Pretty soon El Al won’t be flying anywhere. But no matter: Air Canada and Air France and Lufthansa will still be flying to Tel Aviv — at least until a couple of anonymous phone calls are made hinting at fresh targets ... Three: 59 per cent of Europeans think Israel is the biggest threat to world peace. Only 59 per cent? What’s wrong with the rest of you? But, hey, don’t worry. In Britain, it’s 60 per cent; Germany, 65 per cent; Austria, 69 per cent; the Netherlands, 74 per cent ... Given the rate of Islamic immigration to Europe, those anti-Israeli numbers are heading in only one direction. At present demographic rates, by 2020 the majority of children in Holland — i.e., the population under 18 — will be Muslim. What do you figure that 74 per cent will be up to by then? Eighty-five per cent? Ninety-six per cent? If Americans think it’s difficult getting the Continentals on side now, wait another decade. In that sense, the Israelis are the canaries in the coalmine ... The Europeans are not cockroaches. The cockroach is the one creature you can rely on to come crawling out of the rubble of the nuclear holocaust. Whereas the one thing that can be said with absolute confidence is that the Europeans will not emerge from under their own rubble. Europe is dying. As I’ve pointed out here before, it can’t square rising welfare costs, a collapsed birthrate and a manpower dependent on the world’s least skilled, least assimilable immigrants. In 20 years’ time, as those Dutch Muslim teenagers are entering the voting booths, European countries, unlike parts of Nigeria, will not be living under Sharia, but they will be reaching their accommodations with their radicalised Islamic compatriots, who like many intolerant types are expert at exploiting the ‘tolerance’ of pluralist societies."

ADL Welcomes Ford Foundation Commitment to Cease Funding to Groups Who Engage in Anti-Semitism,
U.S. Newswire, November 18, 2003
"The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) today welcomed commitments by the Ford Foundation to cease funding organizations that incite anti-Semitism or challenge Israel's legitimacy. In a meeting with ADL and in a written response to Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), Ford Foundation President Susan V. Berresford outlined a series of measures to ensure that no future grants would go to organizations that in any way support terrorism, bigotry, or the delegitimization of Israel. Rep. Nadler had made an inquiry following allegations raised in a series of articles in JTA that Ford Foundation grantees were active in the anti-Semitic, anti-Israel campaign at the 2001 U.N. World Conference Against Racism in Durban, South Africa. Abraham H. Foxman, ADL national director and author of the new book "Never Again? The Threat of the New Anti-Semitism" (HarperSanFrancisco, 2003) issued the following statement: "We welcome Ford's renunciation of the anti-Semitism and delegitimization of Israel at the U.N. World Conference Against Racism in which some of their grantees were involved. The Durban conference reminded us that, even under the rubric of tolerance, anti-Jewish and anti-Israel bias is a potent force that, when left unchecked, leads to the kind of broad vilification of Jews and the Jewish State that we witnessed in Durban in 2001. "The Ford Foundation has demonstrated courage and conscience in recognizing that foundations can and must take responsibility to see to it that they are not funding incitement. They have used this as an opportunity to deepen their understanding of anti-Semitism and look for ways to counteract and prevent it. Ms. Berresford and the Foundation have charted a course we hope others will follow and we look forward to working with them to follow up on these commitments. "We commend Ms. Berresford for understanding that, just as we call on political and community leaders to take a moral stand against hatred and bigotry, supporters of civil society organizations have a vital role to play in fostering a climate of tolerance and setting standards for fair and equal judgment of all sovereign states."

An Open Letter to the World’s Anti-Semites,
by Isaac Kohn, Israel National News, November18, 2003
"Dear World: Now that you have all reassembled here (only a few years after the Holocaust) in order to re-promote the one, universally accepted, unifying theme, eternally known as anti-Semitism, I'd like your attention for a moment or so, in order to deliver my short yet absolute defiance. Point blank and without much ado, let me greet you with the following, correctly-spelled, simple statement: Go to Hell! ... Dear World: I have come to the conclusion that you hate me because I am, and you hate me because I'm not. You hate me for what you think I ought to be, and you hate me that much more when I try to be that which you imagine me to be. You hate me when I succeed, you hate me for not failing; when I fail, you rejoice. You hate me for being poor and hate me even more if I'm rich. The wealth I have was stolen, you say; honesty is not part of me. So you proceeded to steal from me, to rob, to plunder and pillage. You lament: 'Why do you stay apart from all of us? Why don't you try to come closer, to adapt.' But if I do, you hate me for 'stepping over the line', which your hate for me has long-ago drawn in the sand. You hate my unshakable faith in my religion and you do whatever you can to reach my soul. And if, at times, you succeed with one or two of my fellow Jews, you hate them even more for not being true to their own religion, for being traitors to their own faith. Dear World: ... You hate my ability to rise again and again from the inferno your hate keeps igniting. You hate my resilience, my perseverance; you despise my capacity to outlive, outsmart, outperform. I have outlived every one of my detractors and tormentors; the Romans, the Greeks, the Crusaders and the infamous Nazis are merely pages in the annals of history. They no longer exist as anything more than artifacts in a museum and as archeological diggings and remnants, but I survived and I flourished. My fingerprints are visible in every facet of daily living in science and medicine. Yes, I lead in medical research and innovations; and, yes, many of the medicines you administer and the inventions you heal with have my imprint on them. You use and employ and utilize all of my successes. And for having achieved, you hate me, too. Dear World: ... And if I, the Jew, were to somehow disappear, what shall become of your hate? Should I disappear, one in my image would have to be created. For imagine how boring life would be; where will all your hate be directed? Imagine, if you will, a Durban Conference Against Racism, without the 'Kill The Jews' signs and placards? How empty and silent would the Security Council chambers be, if there was no Jew to condemn? After all, tyrannies, dictatorships and self-appointed, murdering despots don't provide the enthusiasm needed as does another hate-filled motion to blindly convict me. How listless and boring would the General Assembly of the United Nations be if the ever-present punching-bag ceased to exist? You hate me, dear world, and I, the Jew, despise you. Dear World: I have only touched the surface of your deep hate; three-thousand-three-hundred years of hate can not be analyzed in a mere few pages. Let me, therefore, end this letter on a positive note: You can positively go to Hell!"

[The "anti-Semitism" "trump card" is becoming bogus EVEN FOR JEWS. The charge of "anti-Semitism" has become a grotesque scam. The state of Israel, defended so vehemently by propagandizing world Jewry, is leading everyone to Hell. Once and a while a Jew speaks honestly about "anti-Semitism" in public, and it is so incredibly rare that IT IS BREATHTAKING. (Of course though, the "radical aggressive" U.S. government this guy slams IS ALSO JEWISH-LED. Its policy in Iraq has been in fact modeled in the oppressive Israeli image).]
Fanning the flames of hatred,
By Roman Bronfman, Haaretz (Israel), November 19, 2003
"Another day of Jewish victims somewhere in the world, and this time in a terrible attack on synagogues in Istanbul. The number of violent incidents worldwide against anything identified with the State of Israel and the Jewish people no longer leaves any doubt that this is a real wave. Even a quick glance at the newspapers in recent weeks indicates the worrisome change in world public opinion: Israel as a symbol - and Jews, in general - have been transformed from the helpless victims of the Nazi extermination machine into "the most dangerous country to world peace," as defined by the latest European Union Commission survey. This was a problematic survey from a structural point of view, so I shall reword the statement - Israel has become the most hated nation in the world. How can this hatred toward us be explained, particularly in the developed European states? And why is it being expressed specifically now, and with such intensity? At first, Israel officially assumed that these were only marginal expressions of radicalization toward Israel. But when the waves of hatred spread and appeared on all the media networks around the world and penetrated every home, the new-old answer surfaced: anti-Semitism. After all, anti-Semitism has always been the Jews' trump card because it is easy to quote some crazy figure from history and seek cover. This time, too, the anti-Semitism card has been pulled from the sleeve of explanations by the Israeli government and its most faithful spokespeople have been sent to wave it. But the time has come for the Israeli public to wake up from the fairy tale being told by its elected government. The rhetoric of the perpetual victim is not a sufficient answer for the question of the timing. Why all of a sudden have all the anti-Semites, or haters of Israel, raised their heads and begun chanting hate slogans? Enough of our whining, "The whole world is against us." After all, every country first takes care of its national interests and no other country has to be included among the fans of the Zionist effort. The time has come to look at the facts and admit the simple but bitter truth - Israel has lost its legitimacy in the eyes of the world and we are guilty for what has happened. This generalization is a bit harsh for me, so I will be more precise - not all of us, but our government. Even though I am absolutely certain that each one of its ministers really wants what is best for the country, the government is mistaken and is bringing calamity upon us. The government is mistaken because it is conducting a destructive policy. No government in Israel has succeeded in solving the tragedy of the two peoples - the occupier and the occupied. Governments have had 36 years to do this, and no government has figured out how to be rid of the territories. But this government, which Prime Minister Ariel Sharon heads, has brought the Palestinians' despair to new depths. Considering the criticism of the international community, there is only one nation left that insists on believing in the government's path - the Jewish nation, which backs up the government's actions time after time. Where do we get our pretentiousness for such sympathy at a time when the Sharon government is conducting an unethical and inhumane policy? This is the answer to all the surveys that have been published around the world lately. This is the answer to all those "anti-Semitic" statements that have been voiced lately. This is the answer to all the arsons, the murders and the terror attacks we have suffered. The Jewish people, who went through a Holocaust just decades ago - a short moment in historical terms - must not oppress another people and deny them their rights and any shadow of hope for a future. We must not be blinded by the unrestrained support from "Uncle Sam" - even the United States is being run by a radical, aggressive government that is, therefore, also failing. It is this government that entangled the "leader of the free world" in an unnecessary and painful war, and this government is responsible for the erosion of America's status in the world. True, the roots of anti-Semitism are planted very deeply in the culture and history of Christian Europe. It is also reasonable to assume that even the ideas of the liberals, who wanted to sever ties with traditional nationalism, will be unable to pull out these roots. But if anti-Semitism was until now found exclusively in the extreme political fringes, Israel's continued policy of the cruel occupation will only encourage and fan the spread of anti-Semitic sentiments. From this, I conclude that if Israel wants to be embraced by the family of nations as a full member, it must learn how to behave according to the accepted rules around the world - rules of ethics, fairness and justice. The writer is a member of Knesset from the Meretz faction."

[So, if you're German and you're tired of listening to Jews condemn you for 58 years, and you state the absolutely obvious fact that Jews have "too much influence in the world," and you believe that Jews are trying to make Germany "pay" (world Jewry is still demanding reparations of various types), voila! You're a bonfide "anti-Semite." Three steps. It doesn't even matter if what you think is true. It's that easy to brand you off to the moral -- and disempowered political -- pigpen!]
Signs of 'latent' German anti-Semitism,
Expatica (Germany), November 19, 2003
"Almost a quarter of all Germans are latently anti-Semitic, an opinion poll reported Wednesday. The Stern magazine poll found 23 percent of Germans - up from 20 percent in 1998 - answered a series of questions about Jews in a way which led pollsters to classify them as latently anti-Semitic. Among questions posed was whether Jews were trying to profit from the Nazi past and seeking to make Germans pay. Some 36 percent of those asked this question responded with "yes." A total of 28 percent said Jews have to much influence in the world while 61 percent said 58 years after the end of Adolf Hitler's Third Reich it was time to start talking less about the persecution of the Jews. The poll carried out by Germany's Forsa agency surveyed 1,301 people last Friday and Saturday. Germany has one of the world's fastest growing Jewish populations with immigrants coming from the former Soviet Union. The number of German Jews is now over 100,000 - up from about 30,000 in 1989. This is still a small minority within Germany's total population of 82 million."

[Look at what is happening. World Jewish support for racist Israel has created conditions where Jews get special police protection in Western countries. Are we looking at a future science fiction scenario where Jews go shopping with private armies? Is this the world that Israel-loving international Jewry is creating for itself? Are they satisfied with Israel's power in stopping "anti-Semitism?"]
Danish police increase protection for Jews,
alertnet.org (from Reuters), November 20, 2003
"Danish security police said on Thursday they had tightened protection of Jews in Denmark after attacks on synagogues in Istanbul and a Jewish school in Paris. "In the light of the events in Turkey and France, PET and the Jewish Congregation in Denmark... agreed on various steps which I obviously cannot elaborate on," the deputy head of the security police Erik Terp said. At least five people were killed when three explosions rocked Istanbul on Thursday, days after suicide bombs outside synagogues in the city killed 25 and wounded hundreds more. Danish Foreign Minister Per Stig Moeller told Reuters after the Thursday explosions: "We now are in the danger zone because Denmark takes part in the fight against terrorism." Several hundred Danish troops have been sent to Iraq to take part in the U.S.-led occupation. The Jewish Congregation in Denmark said it had registered 39 incidents of violence and threats against Jews this year and the number was rising. "Almost daily I talk to people who have received obscene phone calls and been exposed to coarse verbal attacks but don't dare to report it for fear of retaliation," spokesman Jacques Blum said. The Congregation says there are about 7,000 Jews in Denmark."

[People -- and communities -- reap what they sow, as they always have. Here this British newspaper implores the political Left to "protect" Jewish racism, power, and chauvinism, as if "protecting" Jews from the results of their own collective moral failing is the universal measure of moral decency. Who is to protect us, and the "Liberal left," from the rampant Jewish ethnocentrism that engulfs the Western world? Indeed, it is truly time for decent people to stand up, and do something. Resist totalitarian Judeocentrism and its Power Machine that bends all to the Israeli shadow. Think for yourself. Tell the truth to someone one time. Want to stop "anti-Semitism?" Demand that Jews treat non-Jews with the attention and respect Jews demand for themselves. Starting with the Palestinians.]
Our dulled nerve,
The Guardian (UK), November 18, 2003
"Jonathan Sacks, the Chief Rabbi, was right yesterday to quote Edmund Burke: "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." He was being interviewed following two horrific car bombs that exploded outside separate synagogues in central Istanbul at the weekend killing at least 20 people and injuring 300 others - and a devastating arson attack that destroyed a large Jewish school in a Paris suburb in the middle of the night. A new anti-semitism is on the march across the globe. It is no wonder that the Jewish community in the UK feels unsettled, uncomfortable and fearful. If the random attacks here have not been as ugly as in Turkey, they have nevertheless included schools, synagogues and cemeteries. The community is well aware of widespread violence in France, home to the largest Jewish community in Europe, along with rising attacks in Belgium and Germany. Then there has been the deliberate targeting of Jewish civilians in Moroccan and Tunisian attacks, in which, like Turkey's car bombs, the al-Qaida network is believed to have been involved. Where once, which was bad enough, terrorists concentrated their attacks on targets with clear ties to Israel - its embassies, airline or shipping offices - they are now wider in scope. All Jews are now seen by some extremists as legitimate targets ... The challenge which the Chief Rabbi issued last year, remains as relevant today: why is the liberal left not sufficiently concerned about the growth of anti-semitism? On this year's anti-war march in Paris, Jewish peace activists were beaten up by other demonstrators. There were less dramatic confrontations on London's million-strong march. It did not matter to the attackers that Jewish writers and activists have been vocal against the Iraq war. Nor did the attackers care that many criticise the current Israeli government's policies towards the Palestinians. Their victims were targets just because they are Jews. Even the police are now being more proactive in pursuing people spreading virulent anti-semitic literature or inciting religious hatred. Could not the liberal left, which in an earlier era vigilantly sought to protect Jews from prejudice and bigotry, rediscover its old values?"

[Given that the source of this news is a Jewish propaganda organization, it's hard to know what "praise for Adolf Hitler" really means. Is Korchagin a Nazi? Is such praise for Hitler literal? Or does this Jewish group just not like what Korchgin has to say?]
Latest Round in Court for Antisemitic Publisher in Moscow Set for November 25,
Union of Councils for Jews in the Soviet Union, November 19, 2003
"Antisemitic publisher Viktor Korchagin will again be in court on November 25 facing charges of inciting ethnic hatred, thanks to the efforts of a Jewish World War II veteran who has tirelessly filed complaints with Moscow prosecutors. Boris Stambler has for several years tried to have charges brought against Mr. Korchagin, whose “Rusich” publishing house has distributed volume after volume of antisemitic literature with titles like “The Jewish Occupation of Russia” being a typical example. However, time after time, Moscow prosecutors refused to bring charges against Mr. Korchagin, arguing that “experts” had determined that his writings do not incite hatred against Jews. In July 2002, the Ministry of the Press ordered that Mr. Korchagin’s newspaper Russkie Vedomosti be closed for inciting ethnic hatred. However, the Zamoskvoretsky district court, seemingly not taking the Ministry’s action seriously, ruled that the Moscow city Prosecutor’s Office was correct to close the case. Mr. Stambler appealed and won a retrial in December 2002. In the mid-1990s, Mr. Korchagin became one of the few people ever to be convicted under a law that prohibits the incitement of ethnic hatred because of his constant praise for Adolf Hitler. However, in a sick twist of irony, he was immediately released under an amnesty commemorating the 50th anniversary of the victory over Nazi Germany."

[The day is coming when telling the truth won't be condemned as "anti-Semitic." Jews can shit on any other religious or ethnic group -- Muslims, Christians, Russians, Arabs, ad nauseum -- freely, but when the tables turn the sky starts caving in and the Jewish Collective Klan that doesn't exist works to censor.]
Anti-globalization crowd honors author of text seen as anti-Semitic,
By Philip Carmel, Jewish Telegraphic Agency, November 16, 2003
"An Islamic fundamentalist accused of anti-Semitism and suspected of links with Al-Qaida is the new star of Europe´s anti-globalization movement. Swiss Muslim theologian Tariq Ramadan stole the show at last week´s European Social Forum in Paris, a three-day event that attracted more than 50,000 anti-globalization activists from across the continent. Ramadan, who teaches Islam at the universities of Geneva and Fribourg, appeared as the principal attraction at two events and was the only participant granted a personal news conference. Ramadan´s presence at the forum was controversial since he has been widely criticized for penning an allegedly anti-Semitic text attacking French Jewish intellectuals. Ramadan wrote last month that a list of French intellectuals "who have always been considered as universalist thinkers" are "increasingly affected by a community-based sectarianism which tends to relativize the defense of universal principles of equality and justice." The article went on to describe how the "political positioning" of "French Jewish intellectuals" was determined by their personal status as "Jews, nationalists and defenders of Israel." This, Ramadan claimed, had caused Andre Glucksman, Bernard-Henri Levy and Alain Finkielkraut to support the U.S.-led military operation in Iraq. Levy had decided to write his recent book on the assassination of American Jewish journalist Daniel Pearl as a way to support Israel´s pro-India policy and attack a Muslim state, Pakistan, Ramadan also wrote. In fact, Levy also wrote a number of articles opposing the war. Both he and Finkielkraut have publicly criticized the policies of Israel´s current government and have endorsed the "Geneva accord," an unofficial peace plan drafted by Israeli opposition figures and Palestinians close to the Palestinian Authority leadership. Moreover, another of those accused by Ramadan as placing his Jewish ethnic background before his universalist principles — the author of "The New Judeophobia," Pierre-Andre Taguieff — is not even Jewish. A number of leading French newspapers refused to print Ramadan´s article, but the European Social Union printed it on its Web site and strongly resisted demands that Ramadan be excluded from the Social Forum. Those targeted by the article were not forgiving. Glucksman said he was "less surprised that Tariq Ramadan is anti-Semitic than by the fact he has no trouble in admitting it." Levy went further, writing in his regular column in the weekly magazine Le Point that Ramadan had "resurrected the good old theme of the Jewish plot." The French Union of Jewish Students filed suit against Ramadan for racial incitement, taking up the suggestion of the forum´s principal organizer, Pierre Khalifa, that if they thought Ramadan was anti-Semitic then they should sue him. In a statement, the Jewish student union´s president, Yonathan Arfi, said, "there is no such thing as good or bad anti-Semitism. Tariq Ramadan is an anti-Semite and should be judged as such." Ramadan´s polemic also had the effect of splitting France´s opposition Socialist Party from the rest of the French left, with leading party figures calling on the forum to exclude Ramadan. One of the strongest attacks on Ramadan came from three leaders on the left wing of the Socialist Party, who long have called for the party to build closer links to the anti-globalization movement. By specifically pointing out Jewish intellectuals, Ramadan had joined "the classic tradition of the far-right," the three wrote in Le Nouvel Observateur. "Fascists think and talk like that." However, the rest of the French left was considerably more accommodating to Ramadan, with the Greens claiming that the socialists were using the controversy over Ramadan to destroy support for the Social Forum. Whatever the criticism of Ramadan, the publicity surrounding the article meant that he became the star attraction at the Social Forum. By the second day of the forum, crowds had to be turned away when Ramadan took part in a debate entitled "Religion, Social Struggle and Anti-Globalization." The situation was similar the following day, with Ramadan again drawing a massive crowd for a debate on "Racism, Xenophobia and Anti-Semitism" ... Among those backing Ramadan was another hero of European anti-globalization activists, the former leader of France´s peasant farmers, Jose Bove, who has compared Palestinians to Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto."

[Ariel Sharon's pompous demands are obscene. Sharon himself is an ANTI-SEMITE CREATION MACHINE. It is the Muslims who apparently will open the door of liberation for everyone beneath the Judeocentric Thumb. How can you "stamp out" anti-Semitism with "monitoring and education" when it is a vastly natural reaction to international Jewish racism, ethnocentrism, power, and oppression? The more someone gets truly "educated," the more they will understand the stacked score. "Monitoring" of course is a another story. Jews already have that. It's the realm of totalitarian Thought Police where daring to criticize the Forbidden-from-Scrutiny Jewish Political Machine is grounds for punishment and/or banishment.]
EU not doing enough to stop anti-Semitism: Sharon Israeli leader links alleged lack of resolve to rising influence of Muslims,
Toronto Star, Novmebr 23, 2003
"Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said in an interview to be published tomorrow that European Union governments were not doing enough to tackle anti-Semitism because of an "ever stronger Muslim presence in Europe." Sharon also rejected complaints from European politicians that the Jewish state tends to stigmatize legitimate criticism of Israel's policies towards the Palestinians as anti-Semitism. "These days to conduct an anti-Semite policy is not a popular thing, so the anti-Semites bundle their policies in with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict," he told EUpolitix.com, an online newswire dedicated to EU affairs. "Of course there are anti-Semites who use the events in Israel and the argument that Israel uses excessive force, and through this they are trying to compromise Israel's right to self-defence. Thus there is a danger to Jews." Israeli Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom last week proposed setting up a joint ministerial council with the EU to stamp out anti-Semitism in Europe through monitoring and education. Charges of anti-Semitism were fuelled before Shalom's visit to Brussels by a controversial opinion poll carried out by the EU's executive Commission that found a majority of EU citizens see Israel as the greatest threat to world peace. French President Jacques Chirac chaired an urgent ministerial meeting last week on fighting anti-Semitism after the firebombing of a Jewish school in a Paris suburb. Synagogues and Jewish schools in France have been attacked repeatedly in recent years, in violence authorities link to poor Muslim youths enraged by Israel's tough policies against Palestinian unrest. "An ever stronger Muslim presence in Europe is certainly endangering the life of Jewish people," Sharon said, adding that some 70 million Muslims lived in the 15-nation bloc. "I would say...EU governments are not doing enough to tackle anti-Semitism," he said. Sharon flew to Rome last week to enlist the EU's current president, Italy, in stemming anti-Semitism in Europe and moderating criticism of Israel's approach to the Palestinians. "Of course it is dangerous to generalise, but it is possible to say that the majority of countries in Europe do not have a balanced policy," he told EUpolitix. "Today, during the Italian presidency, we can say that Europe's policy is balanced." Responding to sharp criticism in an EU declaration of Israel's plans to erect a barrier through occupied territories in the West Bank, Sharon said the fence was "a security measure, not a political border." "If I am facing the question and the dilemma of whether to absorb European criticism or to add and contribute to the safety of Israeli citizens, I have no problem determining how to act," he said.

Republican Web Site Airs Vile Anti-Semitism, “GOPUSA” Internet Site Suddenly Deletes Column Calling George Soros “Descendant of Shylock”
National Jewish Democratic Council, November 20, 2003
"An opinion column displayed earlier this week on the Internet site of GOPUSA engaged in virulent anti-Semitism while condemning international philanthropist and financier George Soros. The editorial was written under the byline of “Sartre,” the pen name of James Hall – a self-described “former political operative.” Under the headline “Satan Lives in George Soros,” Hall writes, “The fiction which is interdependency has a prolocutor in the congregation of Moloch. His name is George Soros. No other single person represents the symbol and the substance of Globalism more than this Hungarian-born descendant of Shylock. He is the embodiment of the Merchant from Venice. ...If Soros is correct when he says a ‘supremacist ideology’ guides the White House, what would you call the practices of the archfiend of Free Enterprise? The Soros deception would make Shylock proud. ... [I]t’s not about anti-Semitism! [Outgoing Malaysian Prime Minister] Mahathir Mohammad was just stating the truth....” Hall’s column appears weekly at the GOPUSA Internet site. Under the motto “Bringing the Conservative Message to America,” GOPUSA.com regularly features leading conservative writers such as Linda Chavez, David Horowitz and Alan Keyes. According to the Internet site, a GOPUSA Washington conference earlier this month was scheduled to hear from confirmed speakers such as Senator John Cornyn (R-TX), Representatives Tom Tancredo (R-CO) and Steve King (R-IA), the Deputy Director of the White House Office of Public Liaison, the “eCampaign Manager” for Bush-Cheney ’04, the Communications Director for House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-IL) and former Representative Bob Barr (R-GA), among others. Without explanation, GOPUSA – which itself is not formally linked to the GOP – suddenly removed the page featuring Hall’s November 17th article sometime on November 18th, though the text remains at the author’s Internet site. “Suddenly deleting such vile anti-Semitism from this Republican site – with no explanation, and no apology – simply won’t cut it. Virulent anti-Semitism causes very real damage, and GOPUSA must acknowledge this,” said National Jewish Democratic Council Executive Director Ira N. Forman. “While nothing can make up for originally providing a forum for this screed, a first step must be for GOPUSA to issue an apology. GOPUSA must also explain how this could possibly happen in an organization that bills itself as the megaphone for the conservative Republican movement – and how this could happen in an organization that is supported by major GOP representatives and leaders at all levels, including the White House, the Bush-Cheney campaign, the Senate and the House. GOPUSA must – at an absolute minimum – sever its relationship with this obviously unacceptable author."

[The "inextricable link between anti-Semitism and anti-Americanism" is that pro-Israel Judeocentrism has hijacked American foreign policy. And so much else. The Jewish Lobby has America stuffed in its dirty sack. Frauds like Sharansky below rule the media roost. Anti-Americanism is the natural revulsion, throughout the world, of an unjust social and moral system that celebrates Jewish chauvinism, racism, and brutality to the detriment of all others. And why has "anti-Semitism" so long endured? Because chronic Jewish arrogance, chauvinism, anti-Gentile hostility, and exploitation has so long CAUSED it -- everywhere, anywhere.]
HATRED'S ROOTS. On Hating the Jews. The inextricable link between anti-Semitism and anti-Americanism,
BY NATAN SHARANSKY, Wall Street Journal, November 17, 2003
"No hatred has as rich and as lethal a history as anti-Semitism--"the longest hatred," as the historian Robert Wistrich has dubbed it. Over the millennia, anti-Semitism has infected a multitude of peoples, religions and civilizations, in the process inflicting a host of terrors on its Jewish victims. But while there is no disputing the impressive reach of the phenomenon, there is surprisingly little agreement about its cause or causes. Indeed, finding a single cause would seem too daunting a task--the incidence of anti-Semitism is too frequent, the time span too broad, the locales too numerous, the circumstances too varied. No doubt that is why some scholars have come to regard every outbreak as essentially unique, denying that a straight line can be drawn from the anti-Semitism of the ancient world to that of today. Whether it is the attack on the Jews of Alexandria in the year 38 or the ones that took place 200 years earlier in ancient Jerusalem, whether it is the Dreyfus affair in 1890s France or Kristallnacht in late-1930s Germany--each incident is seen as the outcome of a distinctive mix of political, social, economic, cultural and religious forces that preclude the possibility of a deeper or recurring cause. A less extreme version of this same approach identifies certain patterns of anti-Semitism, but only within individual and discrete "eras" ... [If]f every incident or era of anti-Semitism is largely distinct from every other, how to explain the cumulative ferocity of the phenomenon? As if in response to this question, some scholars have attempted to offer more sweeping, transhistorical explanations. Perhaps the two best known are the "scapegoat" theory, according to which tensions within society are regulated and released by blaming a weaker group, often the Jews, for whatever is troubling the majority, and the "demonization" theory, according to which Jews have been cast into the role of the "other" by the seemingly perennial need to reject those who are ethnically, religiously or racially different. Clearly, in this sociological approach, anti-Semitism emerges as a Jewish phenomenon in name only. Rather, it is but one variant in a family of hatreds that include racism and xenophobia ... What is certain is that, everywhere one looks, the Jewish state does appear to be at the center of the anti-Semitic storm--and nowhere more so, of course, than in the Middle East.

[1. Is the "German professor" Werner Bergman Jewish? 2.) Who has brought the prospects for "civil war" to Europe? 3.) Afraid of "offending Muslim opinion in Europe?"

Researchers blast EU for 'burying' anti-Semitism study,
By Sharon Sadeh, Haaretz (Israel), November 25, 2003
"A German sociologist who led an unprecedented, comprehensive research study on the causes of anti-Semitism in Europe, has charged that an "overly-politically correct" European Union, which commissioned the research, "buried" the report for fear that it could spark civil war. The report on anti-Semitism in Europe was shelved by the EU's racism watchdog after it found that Muslims and pro-Palestinian groups were behind many of the incidents, the London-based Financial Times reported last week. The EU has maintained that the report was tainted by anti-Muslim bias and the use of inappropriate research methods. "I think that the European Union buried the research out of fear of civil war, and from excessive political correctness," Professor Werner Bergman, one of the so-leaders of the study, told Haaretz. The European Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia (EUMC) decided not to publish the research after clashing with its authors over their definition of anti-Semitism, which included anti-Israel acts, the paper said. Bergman's partner in conducting the study, Professor Wolfgang Benz, termed the EUMC's grounds for rejecting the study "absolutely ridiculous. From our standpoint it verges on slander." The report was commissioned by the EUMC following a peak in anti-Semitic activity in early 2002. Its leaked findings come just a week after a Jewish school near Paris was set on fire and suicide attacks on two Istanbul synagogues. A deputy board member not named by the paper confirmed that the directors of the EUMC had regarded the study as biased, adding that they had judged the focus on Muslim and pro-Palestinian perpetrators to be inflammatory. Daniel Cohn-Bendit, a leader of the Greens party in the European Parliament Tuesday strongly denounced the EUMC for shelving the report. "The completely mad thing is that they didn't want to continue bcause they were afraid to offend a certain Muslim opinion in Europe," he told Israel Radio. "This is a completely crazy and wrong approach." Cohn-Bendit, a leader of the French student left in the late 1960s, is currently on a visit to Israel. He said the decision to shelve the study was a "big, big, error" and that his party would question the move in the European Parliament at the first opportunity. "There is a danger of anti-Semitism in Europe, there is a danger of racism in Europe - both - and we must confront this reality, and we can't now postpone the debate on this," Cohn-Bendit said. An extract from the report obtained by the Financial Times stated: "...it can be concluded that the anti-Semitic incidents in the monitoring period were committed above all by rightwing extremists and radical Islamists or young Muslims." "The decision not to publish was a political decision," a source familiar with the report told the Financial Times. He said the report had uncovered a "trend towards Muslim anti-Semitism, while on the left there is also mobilization against Israel that is not always free of prejudice."

[Defending Jewish ethnocentrism, racism, and power against "hate" and "intolerance" is pretty lucrative ... er, uh, costly. True, the following information is a couple years old, and what with inflation and all, these figures are surely up a bit. For 2000-2001, however, the Founder / Director of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, Rabbi Marvin Hier, paid himself over $400,000 for his yearly services. This is from a nice $70 million + budget to expose the evils of anti-Semitism and "intolerance," and to defend Israel. There's also a nice nepotistic ring to the SWC enterprise: "Membership Director" Marlene Hier, "Fundraiser" Alan Hier, and "Associate Director" Aron Hier -- all relatives of Director Marvin Hier -- make a combined yearly salary over another $425,000. Quite a cash cow! Bad antisemites! Baaaad, baaaad anti-Semites! "Associate Dean" Rabbi Abraham Cooper made another $312,933 "Treasurer" Sue Burden made $265,000, "Museum Director" Liebe Geft made $206,000, and "National Development Director" Robert Novak made $188,000. We're wondering if they need any honorary "anti-Semites" to crucify -- part or full time, or even just Sundays -- in the Wiesenthal atrium, and what does it pay? Does it include dental?]

The Jewish World / A collective punishment,
By Eliahu Salpeter, Haaretz (Israel), November 25, 2003
"Even if anti-Semitism is "the oldest hatred in the world," it is doubtful whether adding parentheses to the word "new" is justifiable. Because the anti-Semitism we are currently facing is indeed anti-Semitism of a new kind: it did not emerge from a backdrop of religious hatred (even though it is nourished by Islamic fundamentalism) and does not stem from pseudo-scientific theories about superior and inferior races or even from jealously and covetousness for the possessions of others ... [T]he most important factor is the connection between Muslim rage over what is happening in the territories under the Israeli occupation and the tendency of Muslims to associate world Jewry with the Jewish State. Of course, that is not enough to justify the anti-Semitic acts, just as there is no justification for any terrorist act against those who are totally innocent people and even have no involvement in the conflict. But the reports - and especially the television images - of what is happening in the territories, which the Muslims see on their screens, are not the same ones that the Israeli public sees and hears - for example, about Israel Defense Forces operations, hunger and degradation. Israelis and Jews in the world are naturally irate when they see blood on synagogue benches in Istanbul or the charred remains of a Jewish school near Paris that was set on fire. Therefore it is not difficult to understand Arab rage when they see, almost daily, pictures of victims of Israeli bombings, including children, women and the elderly (not to mention the incendiary commentary that accompanies the images). The accusations of "Jewish self-hatred" leveled at those who mention these facts do not change the reality. The dimensions of Palestinian and Muslim hatred of Israel are such that it does not matter what caused what. The main thing is no longer the reciprocal nature of the actions (or the differences between them) but the results of the hatred caused by the images and incitement. And because Israel and the Jewish people have a shared fate, it is not surprising that the Muslim incitement and attacks against Israel are also directed at Diaspora Jewry. The government of Israel, of course, has no interest in acknowledging that the occupation is a factor in the development of Muslim anti-Semitism around the world. Perhaps it is even convenient for the Israeli government that the incidents in France or Turkey move the spotlight away from Jenin and the settlements and outposts in the territories, the factors that are fueling the new anti-Semitism. This is a dangerous development. There is no way of knowing when Diaspora Jews will be convinced by the Arab argument that they are paying with their security and safety for part of the cost of the Israeli occupation. As part of its information campaigns in Israel and abroad, the Israeli government occasionally uncovers a new obstacle that is "an almost existential" threat to the state. Once it is Arafat and once it is Damascus, and once it is Muslim fundamentalism. Currently, the rotating threat is nuclear weapons development in Iran. Presumably Diaspora Jews as well, mainly American Jews, will be asked to participate in the political campaign against Tehran. An Israeli cabinet minister told General Assembly delegates that it is possible that the first nuclear bomb will fall on Tel Aviv, "but the second will explode in New York" (the largest Jewish city in the world). One might ask if it is wise to position the war against Iran at the top of the Israeli agenda, but apart from that, it is doubtful that many American Jews will be enthusiastic about this direction for the shared fate with Israel. It would be hard to exaggerate the central role of Muslim hatred in the current wave of anti-Semitism. It seems that the remnants of classical Western anti-Semitism have already latched on to Muslim fundamentalist hatred of Jews. They are nourished by the old slogans and ideas, which are aided practically speaking and financially by new, violent movements. Jewish history shows that anti-Semitism is easy to instill but hard to eradicate. It will now take a long time to break the connection that has already been made, and it will a require a prolonged effort on the part of Israel and Diaspora Jewry that will not be easy. Clearly, as long as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict nourishes Muslim hatred and awakens liberal sensitivities in the West, there is no chance of dismantling the new anti-Semitism."

Jewish tombs defaced From correspondents in Marseille, France,
News.com (fromc Agence France Presse), November 26, 2003
"SEVEN tombs in a Jewish cemetery in the southern French city of Marseille were defaced with swastikas and symbols of an extreme-right movement overnight, authorities said overnight. The mayor of Marseille, Jean-Claude Gaudin, issued a statement condemning the "savage and hateful" act and vowing to find the perpetrators. An umbrella body for Jewish groups, the Representative Council of Jewish Institutions in France, expressed outrage at the desecration. "There are swastikas, crosses of the New Order (extreme-right group), inscriptions reading 'SS' and 'white power' on the tombs," in the Trois Lucs cemetery, the local representative, Clement Yana, said. In a statement, he called on authorities "to do everything possible to neutralise this racist minority whose actions recall the darkest hours of France's history".

University paper pulled after anti-Semitic comment,
By ANNA MORGAN, Canadian Jewish News, November 27, 2003
"Copies of The Gargoyle, the bi-weekly student-run newspaper of University College at the University of Toronto, were pulled off newsstands last Friday after an anti-Semitic note by the editors ppeared in the Nov. 21 edition. The comment, which stated “…shut the fuck up, you stupid greedy Jew,” was written following an article by Josh Lieblein criticizing a cartoon that appeared in the previous paper. Part of a series called “Adventures in Objectivism,” the cartoon showed two men “poking their heads out,” Lieblein said, with one of them carrying a bag of money and wearing a black hat and sideburns. He questioned whether the artist had meant to intentionally portray the character as a Jewish Shylock. The editorial note defended the cartoon and concluded with the anti-Semitic slur. It said the drawing was made by “a 19th-century British guy with mutton chops.” The university responded to complaints immediately after Hillel public relations co-ordinator Johanna Herman and Hillel executive member Elanna Mosoff noticed the comment when they picked up the paper on Friday. Principal of University College Paul Perron met the same day with members of the Hillel student executive board, director of the Wolfond Centre for Jewish Campus Life Lisa Isen Baumal and the executive members of University College’s literacy and athletic society. It was decided that publication of The Gargoyle would halt until the editorial policies of the newspaper could be reviewed. Hillel has demanded that the editorial board resign, but no decision has yet been made."

Woman linked to some graffiti,
By SHAWN COHEN, THE JOURNAL NEWS, November 25, 2003
"A village woman who reported finding swastikas on her front door three times this month was responsible for at least one of those incidents, police said yesterday. Sharon Miller, who initially told police that someone left swastikas on her door on Nov. 3, 10 and 17, later admitted that she put the swastikas there herself on Nov. 17 and "wasn't sure" if she did the same thing on Nov. 10, Detective Sgt. Paul Hood said. Miller, 42, of 11 Tappan Ave. was charged with filing a false police report, a misdemeanor, in connection with the Nov. 17 incident. During her appearance yesterday in Village Court, she didn't enter a plea. But she later told The Journal News that her actions of Nov. 17 were designed to get authorities to investigate the Nov. 3 incident more diligently. "Nobody did anything about the first incident and I basically wanted attention in terms of making something happen," said Miller, a modern Orthodox Jew who in court read silently from "Tehillim," the Book of Psalms read in times of crisis. Judge Joan Waters ordered her evaluated by a county program that deals with mental health and substance abuse, and scheduled another court hearing for Dec. 8. Meanwhile, police are continuing their investigation into whether she filed a false report on Nov. 10. Hood said the graffiti found on Miller's door Nov. 10 and 17 had similar handwriting. Authorities, however, do not suspect her in the Nov. 3 incident because the handwriting was different, Hood said. On Nov. 3, police found six swastikas, in red and blue magic marker, on her door, with the word "Jew" written beneath her mezuza, a small box containing excerpts from the Torah fastened to her doorpost. On her front step was the same racist leaflet that was secretly dispersed through several neighboring communities around Halloween. It extolled Adolf Hitler as "the greatest figure of the age" and a "special gift of providence to Aryan man." The Westchester County District Attorney's Office and FBI have consulted with police departments on the case, but so far no arrests have been made. Miller, who grew up in Boro Park, Brooklyn, said she's upset that authorities haven't done more to investigate the Nov. 3 incident and the distribution of racist pamphlets. "If this was Boro Park, this would not happen," she said, suggesting that authorities there would have been more aggressive in their investigation. "It's a different world out here. Sometimes you have to do things." She said she was planning to move out of her home because of all the attention. She is concerned that her arrest would distract authorities and the public from the broader investigation. "Claiming I made a false report does not take away from the fact of what did happen all over Westchester," she said. "I have nothing to do with any of that stuff. I'm just hoping that the focus will be on whatever the heck is going on here with these pamphlets and the anti-Semitism."

A Time To Hate Posted,
By Cheryl Kupfer, The Jewish Press, November 26, 2003
"King Solomon in Ecclesiastes advises us, among other things, that there is a season for everything — including a time to love and a time to hate. As a young child of Holocaust survivors, I instinctively internalized this feeling, deriving satisfaction when, for example, I heard of a train derailment in Germany with many fatalities. I would think to myself, let these people, the generation of Hitler, feel the sorrow and grief of losing a beloved family member abruptly and unnaturally. As anti-Semitism becomes fashionable again (it never really disappeared, it just languished in the closet until it was allowed to come back into style), I find myself getting angrier at the baseless hatred directed at Jews. Not only is there no appreciation for what Jews have done over the centuries to improve the quality of life of the nations among whom we live, but they actually hate us enough to want us to become extinct. So much so that the UN, the institution created to be the collective voice of the nations of the world, condemns the Jewish state — populated by people who through the ages were the hapless, vulnerable victims of those very nations — for defending itself. For having the chutzpah to take preemptive action to protect its terrorized civilians. For having the gall to survive ... Last year, when I realized that the spilling of Jewish blood elicits less of a reaction in post-Holocaust Europe than the kosher slaughtering of animals — which has become a cause celebre among those who tolerate the boiling of live lobsters, the forced feeding of geese and livestock, cock fights, dog races, fox hunts and circuses — I decided to add a little something to my prayers when I light the Shabbat candles. I always have felt closest to Hashem when I cover my eyes and recite the blessing that came down from Har Sinai. It is my private time with Him — the dancing, energetic light of the candles seem to beam my thoughts directly to Heaven. In the past I would ask Hashem for blessings — for me, my family, my friends, and for klal Yisrael. Nothing outlandish like winning the lottery or finding a no-effort weight loss diet, just the usual requests: good health, parnasa, shidduchim and children for those who are ready and anxious to reach these milestones in life. But these days I go one step further when petitioning G-d. I ask that all evil plots, plans and schemes directed toward the children of Yaakov be foiled, and instead boomerang on the plotters themselves. I pray that Jewish wives be fruitful, and in the same breath ask that G-d justly “reward” the women who ecstatically celebrate the premature and violent deaths of their suicide-bombing children and those of their life-loving victims. These women who encourage murder in His name should be “blessed” with putrid, festering, sterile wombs. I am not in a position to physically fight those who wish me and mine to be erased. But every son or daughter of Yaakov, through Hashem’s grace, has been given spiritual bullets. And I use them to the best of my ability. It’s not enough to wish well for ourselves as we recite Tehillim, as we daven daily, as we bench rosh chodesh, as we light our candles. On Pesach, during the sedorim, we ask G-d to pour out His wrath on those who hurt us. Maybe we should add that sentiment to all our prayers. King Solomon said it: there is a time to hate. As I see it, the time is now."

Woolsey: Hatred of Jews threatening rule of law. Ex-CIA director says Europe's elite drawing '1st breath of totalitarianism',
World Net Daily, November 28, 2003
"Former CIA director James Woolsey is taking on Europe's media and cultural elite, saying they've drawn ''the first breath of totalitarianism'' due to their growing resentment of Jews. The agency's director under the Clinton administration, Woolsey made the comments during a speech to a predominantly Jewish audience at York University in Toronto. According to the National Post, Woolsey said Jews are history's great champions of the rule of law, so much so that they have come to embody it. He said anti-Semitism threatens the rule of law and intolerance of Jews is a first step toward dictatorial rule – a hallmark of the world's most oppressive societies. "Once anti-Semitism raises its head, the rest of us who don't want to live with a foot on the back of our necks are likely to be the next targets," Woolsey said. "So once you begin to dabble with the idea that you want to bully people, that you want to order them around, that you want them to do what you say, you very frequently start to drift into anti-Semitism," he said. "I think that is what is happening in some of the cultural elites in Europe." He said Jews have always promoted the primacy of the law over the leader, as evidenced by their dietary restrictions and dress. ''People hate Jews to very much the degree that they have come to realize that this notion of the rule of law is something that came to the world something between three and four millennia ago in the Sinai desert. The idea that the government is above the ruler, and that rulers, whether it's King David or anyone else, are to be held to account by the people, by great prophets, by whomever – that notion essentially came out of the Sinai desert,'' Woolsey said."

["What is fueling the rise in Europe's anti-Semitism?" No one dares to face the obvious answer: Jews.

What is fueling the rise in Europe's anti-Semitism? Renewed attacks on Jews and criticism of Israel have been linked to the growing number of European Muslims, but some point to the policies of Ariel Sharon's government as an influence as well,
By Chris McGreal, Taipei Times (from THE GUARDIAN- UK), November 28, 2003
"Sixty years after the Holocaust, European Jews and Israelis are increasingly wondering if Europe is being sucked into the worst wave of anti-Semitism since World War II. In the past few weeks, a German member of parliament was forced to resign after saying that Jews were responsible for Soviet atrocities, and the commander of the German army's special forces was sacked for agreeing with him. Then came the observation by the Greek composer Mikis Theodorakis that Jews are at the root of all evil, and the firebombing of a Jewish school in Paris. But Israelis felt their fears were confirmed by an opinion poll of EU citizens that placed Israel as the greatest danger to world peace. Israelis were shocked, perplexed and outraged that they should be seen as a bigger threat than North Korea or Iran. "Anti-Semitism has become politically correct in Europe," said Natan Sharansky, the former Soviet dissident and minister in Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's government. On Nov. 24, Sharon warned European governments that they need to do more to combat a revival of old hatreds responsible for rising anti-Semitism. He described Europe's burgeoning Muslim population as a threat to Jews and dismissed accusations that rocket attacks on Gaza and tanks in Jenin have contributed to growing hostility. "What we are facing in Europe is an anti-Semitism that has always existed and it really is not a new phenomenon," the prime minister said in an interview with EUpolitix.com, an online newswire dedicated to EU affairs. "This anti-Semitism is fundamental, and today, in order to incite it and to undermine the Jews' rights for self-defense, it is rearoused. "These days to conduct an anti-Semite policy is not a popular thing, so the anti-Semites bundle their policies in with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict" ... The Israeli Forum to Coordinate the Struggle Against Anti-Semitism -- a group of Israeli intelligence and foreign ministry officials -- defines anti-Semitism in three forms: classic, new and Muslim. The forum asserts that the most dangerous strand has its roots in Islam and that the rising number of Muslims in Europe is responsible for fuelling terror attacks, street violence and general harassment of Jews. Muslims are also blamed for the spread of anti-Semitism to countries such as Denmark, previously renowned for its efforts to save Jewish lives during the Holocaust. Sharon described the growing Muslim population in Europe as "endangering the life of Jewish people" ... Israeli officials say the comments of Theodorakis and the German MP, and a claim by former Malaysian prime minister Mahathir Mohamad that Jews rule the world by proxy and get others to fight and die for them, fall into the category of "classic" anti-Semitism. But it is the "new" anti-Semitism that most disturbs some Jewish leaders because they say it emanates from influential groups such as academics, politicians and the media and is dressed up as criticism of Israel's occupation of Palestinian land ... Robert Wistrich, director of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem's international center for the study of anti-Semitism, says human rights is merely a cover. "On the left we see a trend to believing there is a worldwide conspiracy in which Jews are implicated. You have a link of money, Jews, America, world domination, globalization," he said. "The notion that the Jews are a superpower that controls America is both a classic and revamped form of anti-Semitism. "The most interesting phenomenon is the singling out and demonization of the state of Israel, that brands it as a Nazi-like state or accuses it of genocide. "This kind of discourse is often put forward under the banner of human rights. This is new," he said. Many on the Israeli left are sceptical. "We should bear in mind that during the time of the peace process, when Rabin and Peres were leading, Israel was the favorite of the West," said Yaron Ezrahi, an Israeli political scientist. "There was so much support from Europe and its public. Why was anti-Semitism so limited during the time Rabin and Peres led the peace process and gave the world the message that Israel was prepared to abandon the occupied territories?" he asked. "Sharon has a long record of calling Israeli critics of his policies traitors, and foreign critics anti-Semites. "The left is concerned that Sharon's policies are endangering Israel's future," he said."

[Who is permitted commentary on the alleged rise of "anti-Semitism" in Europe? Only Jews. As always. They define the perameters of discourse. It is a Jewish in-house discussion, a family reflection, from which all others are forced to be spectators to the range of explicitly JEWISH opinion of what is so. This is a microcosm of Western society.]

Liberal & Pro-Israel Feminist Phyllis Chesler on "The New Anti-Semitism."
Q&A by Kathryn Jean Lopez, New Republic, November 25, 2003

Her website is www.phyllis-chesler.com. A liberal feminist, Dr. Chesler recently talked to NRO about "The New Anti-Semitism."

Phyllis Chesler: The phenomenon is very complex, but let me mention at least five or six ways in which both new and old anti-Semitism operate in the world today. The "old" anti-Semitism is still with us: Many people still believe that the Jews run the media, control the banks, killed Christ, seek world domination, and have ears everywhere, but also remain a people "apart." Today, what's new about anti-Semitism is its extraordinary global reach. Jew hatred is being mass-produced. The Internet, films, and the media have the power to circulate these virulent opinions around the globe, 24/7. The most illiterate of peoples have "seen" the Israelis commit a "massacre" in Jenin, something Israelis did not do — even the United Nations finally admitted this. But no matter: A false picture is more powerful than a thousand words ... What's new is that this hatred has, incredibly, been embraced and romanticized by Western liberals, public intellectuals, Nobel Prize winners, all manner of so-called progressives and activists and, to a great extent, by the presumably objective media. The educated elites claim that they do not in fact hate Jews. How can they — the noblest among the "politically correct" — be racists? They loathe racism — except, of course, where Jews are concerned. What's new is that Jew-hatred (disguised as anti-Zionism) has itself become "politically correct" among these so-called intellectuals. They have one standard for Israel: an impossibly high one. Meanwhile, they set a much lower standard for every other country, even for nations in which tyranny, torture, honor killings, genocide, and every other human rights abuse go unchallenged. Today anti-Zionism is the new anti-Semitism. Israel has increasingly come to represent the Jews of the world, and is treated as they have been treated for thousands of years. She is demonized, isolated, and attacked while the world either actively rejoices, or simply does nothing to stop it. Israel has also become the symbolic scapegoat for America and for Western values such as democracy, religious freedom, and individual and women's rights. The intellectuals control the masses with linguistic distortions that would make George Orwell weep. The way language is being used to misrepresent both the truth and Jews is relatively new. The intelligentsia tell us that Israelis are the "new Nazis" and "worse than Nazis." This is a new form of Holocaust denial."

French lawmakers bombarded by anti-Semitic e-mail,
Haaretz (Israel), Novmeber 28, 2003
"The French parliament's president demanded legal action Friday after 55 lawmakers were bombarded with an anti-Semitic e-mail. Titled "Everything you ever wanted to know about Jews but were afraid to ask," the e-mail said: "They are everywhere, they have a hold on everything." The e-mail did not say who sent it. National Assembly President Jean-Louis Debre asked Paris prosecutors to pursue those responsible for the "violently anti-Semitic" tract, his office said. It refused to name the 55 lawmakers who received the e-mail. French President Jacques Chirac promised a tough crackdown on anti-Semitism after an arson attack on a Jewish school outside Paris this month. There were no injuries, but the building was gutted. In the last two years, France has suffered a wave of violence against Jewish schools, temples and cemeteries that coincided with new fighting in the Middle East. Many of the attacks have been blamed on young Muslims."

[The Jewish declaration that "anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism" does irreparable damage to the old censorial tool the Jewish Lobby has, the accusation of anti-Semitism. It doesn't matter how you frame it, Jews refuse to be criticized, no matter what the context.]
Anti-Zionism is anti-semitism. Behind much criticism of Israel is a thinly veiled hatred of Jews, by Emanuele Ottolenghi, Guardian (UK), November 29, 2003
"Is there a link between the way Israel's case is presented and anti-semitism? Israel's advocates protest that behind criticisms of Israel there sometimes lurks a more sinister agenda, dangerously bordering on anti-semitism. Critics vehemently disagree. In their view, public attacks on Israel are neither misplaced nor the source of anti-Jewish sentiment: Israel's behaviour is reprehensible and so are those Jews who defend it. Jewish defenders of Israel are then depicted by their critics as seeking an excuse to justify Israel, projecting Jewish paranoia and displaying a "typical" Jewish trait of "sticking together", even in defending the morally indefensible. Israel's advocates deserve the hostility they get, the argument goes; it is they who should engage in soul-searching. There is no doubt that recent anti-semitism is linked to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. And it is equally without doubt that Israeli policies sometimes deserve criticism. There is nothing wrong, or even remotely anti-semitic, in disapproving of Israeli policies. Nevertheless, this debate - with its insistence that there is a distinction between anti-semitism and anti-Zionism - misses the crucial point of contention. Israel's advocates do not want to gag critics by brandishing the bogeyman of anti-semitism: rather, they are concerned about the form the criticism takes. If Israel's critics are truly opposed to anti-semitism, they should not repeat traditional anti-semitic themes under the anti-Israel banner. When such themes - the Jewish conspiracy to rule the world, linking Jews with money and media, the hooked-nose stingy Jew, the blood libel, disparaging use of Jewish symbols, or traditional Christian anti-Jewish imagery - are used to describe Israel's actions, concern should be voiced. Labour MP Tam Dalyell decried the influence of "a Jewish cabal" on British foreign policy-making; an Italian cartoonist last year depicted the Israeli siege of the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem as an attempt to kill Jesus "again". Is it necessary to evoke the Jewish conspiracy or depict Israelis as Christ-killers to denounce Israeli policies? The fact that accusations of anti-semitism are dismissed as paranoia, even when anti-semitic imagery is at work, is a subterfuge. Israel deserves to be judged by the same standards adopted for others, not by the standards of utopia. Singling out Israel for an impossibly high standard not applied to any other country begs the question: why such different treatment? Despite piqued disclaimers, some of Israel's critics use anti-semitic stereotypes. In fact, their disclaimers frequently offer a mask of respectability to otherwise socially unacceptable anti-semitism. Many equate Israel to Nazism, claiming that "yesterday's victims are today's perpetrators": last year, Louis de Bernières wrote in the Independent that "Israel has been adopting tactics which are reminiscent of the Nazis". This equation between victims and murderers denies the Holocaust. Worse still, it provides its retroactive justification: if Jews turned out to be so evil, perhaps they deserved what they got. Others speak of Zionist conspiracies to dominate the media, manipulate American foreign policy, rule the world and oppress the Arabs. By describing Israel as the root of all evil, they provide the linguistic mandate and the moral justification to destroy it. And by using anti-semitic instruments to achieve this goal, they give away their true anti-semitic face. There is of course the open question of whether this applies to anti-Zionism. It is one thing to object to the consequences of Zionism, to suggest that the historical cost of its realisation was too high, or to claim that Jews are better off as a scattered, stateless minority. This is a serious argument, based on interests, moral claims, and an interpretation of history. But this is not anti-Zionism. To oppose Zionism in its essence and to refuse to accept its political offspring, Israel, as a legitimate entity, entails more."

[Jews defame anybody, everybody, as an "anti-Semite." It's a form of self-deluding hysteria. The Jewish Witch Hunt goes on. And on. And on. The object is to carve through the human forest a clear, unobscured runway for Jewish power and bigotry. Here's a sampling of who has been accused of "anti-Semitism" -- people across the political spectrum. Jews are verifiably the richest ethnic group in America. But to say the words "rich Jew" in our totalitarian Judeocentric culture is a Thought Crime.]
John Updike, Anti-Semite? Don't be ridiculous,
By Timothy Noah, Slate, Nov. 26, 2003
"The Nov. 26 New York Observer carries a bracingly stupid editorial accusing John Updike of anti-Semitism because, in a recent New Yorker review of Peter Carey's latest novel, My Life as a Fake, Updike makes reference to a "rich Jew." By running the review, the Observer fulminates, The New Yorker may be "implicitly endorsing anti-Semitism." No, it isn't. The phrase that offended the Observer appeared in the middle of Updike's summary of the book's plot. ... ... But Amazon's "search inside" feature informs us that the phrase "rich Jew" gets used all the time to no particular anti-Semitic effect. Rabbi Arthur Hertzberg used it in The Jews in America. Sholem Aleichem used it in Tevye the Dairyman. Philip Roth used it in American Pastoral. Robert Caro used it in The Power Broker. In none of these instances did the author imply anything derogatory or imply that some other person who used the phrase was expressing anti-Semitism. Chatterbox doesn't deny that the phrase "rich Jew" can sometimes be used in a way that reinforces a harmful ethnic stereotype. Quite often, though, it's used simply to indicate that somebody is, well, rich and Jewish. Kaplan told Chatterbox that a New Yorker editor should have kicked the story back to Updike and asked him to find another phrase. But he admitted no substitute came immediately to mind. What was Updike supposed to do, scribble in "rich person who happens to be Jewish"? ... In Updike's case, though, the offense seems entirely imaginary. The Observer is fighting the last war."

Tenney - ADL 1,
Americans Against Zionist Oppression and Occupation
"Attorney and U.S. Senator Jack B. Tenney wrote the following report about the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith. While it has been some time since this report was issued back in the 1950s, it is fair to assume that the B'nai B'rith-ADL's propaganda activities, which Senator Tenney describes in vivid detail, have increased several-fold. The ADL of B'nai B'rith probably calls Sen. Tenney anti-Semitic, as its members do to many people who dare to comment on their activities in an effort to make it appear as if they're wholesome. Read on to find out what U.S. Senator Tenney found out about the ADL:
While the ADL bureaucracy emphasizes its Jewish character for defensive purposes, it does not speak for American Jews. The political nature of its work is not revealed to the average Jewish contributor, and its activities in this field ae carefully concealed from American Jewry and the American public under either ethnic or religious cloaks. The fears and complexes of the Jews are exploited by the bureacracies that control and direct the network of organizations set up in his name ostensibly for his protection ... Through its exploitation methods in its appeals for funds many Jews have become obsessed with the idea that all non-Jews are either consciously ans actively anti-Semitic or passive and potentially anti-Semitic. The scare propaganda of the ADL has served to perpetuate and intensify the persecution complex in the collective Jewish mind."

[Are Werner Bergmann and Juliane Wetzel Jewish? The veteran better says yes. Jews and Israel are conflated in the JEWISH public mind far before they are equated in the general populace. Israel exists because of the world Jewish Lobby, not because of, literally, card-carrying Zionists. The reasons for increasing anti-Jewish hostility across the political spectrum is BECAUSE OF JEWISH RACISM, ARROGANCE, EXPLOITATION, AND ABSURDLY INFLUENTIAL POWER.]
Suppressed EU report: Anti-Semitism found on left, too,
By Sharon Sadeh, Haaretz (Israel), November 30, 2003
"The report titled "Manifestations of Anti-Semitism in the EU," which the European Monitoring Center on Racism and Xenophobia (EUMC) chose not to publish, concludes that the countries where anti-Semitic attacks are considerable are France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Britain, while in other countries, such as Finland, Portugal and Ireland, "where the Jewish communities are rather small, anti-Semitic incidents in general seldom occur." The decision of the EUMC to withhold the report, which will now be published early next year, that examined the phenomenon of anti-Semitism in Europe in early 2002 stirred international uproar. Reaction came particularly after it became known that its authors, from the Center for the Study of Anti-Semitism at the Technical University of Berlin, concluded that anti-Semitic attacks are carried out "either by right-wing extremists or radical Islamists or young Muslims mostly of Arab descent, who are often themselves potential victims of exclusion and racism; but also that anti-Semitic statements came from pro-Palestinian groups (...) as well as from politicians (...) and citizens from the political mainstream." The authors, Werner Bergmann and Juliane Wetzel, also linked the phenomenon to "the extreme left-wing scene [where] anti-Semitic remarks were to be found mainly in the context of pro-Palestinian and anti-globalization rallies and in newspaper articles using anti-Semitic stereotypes in their criticism of Israel. Often this generated a combination of anti-Zionist and anti-American views that formed an important element in the emergence of an anti-Semitic mood in Europe." The report, of which Haaretz acquired a copy, also notes that "a further aspect that needs to be noted is that the local Jewish population is closely associated with the state of Israel and its politics. It can be said that the native Jews have been made "hostages" of Israeli politics. Here anti-Semitic, anti-Israeli and anti-Zionist motives are mixed together." The EUMC, which refused to comment to Haaretz on the report, said that it chose not to publish the report because of the low level of its scholarship and the flaws in the source materials used by its authors. The document is 120 pages long and includes 400 footnotes. A Euro-parliamentarian from France, Francois Zimre, told Haaretz that the decision by the EUMC is ridiculous. "The main reason for the decision is that the report destroys a main taboo that holds anti-Semitism to be solely the fault of the extreme right. Now it appears that it crosses borders and characterizes the extreme left, the opponents of globalization, no less than the extreme right."

Anti-Semitism, alive. Hatred of the Jews is a disease that won't go away,
by Jack Kelly, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, November 30, 2003
"Today, we can say these little people are the root of evil," said Mikis Theodorakis of the Jews. The composer of the music for "Zorba the Greek" was flanked by two Greek Cabinet ministers when he made this statement on Nov. 4 at a public event in Greece. Neither took issue with what he said. Theodorakis has lots of company in his anti-Semitism. (In the uproar following his statement, he claimed that he was speaking of the Israeli government of Ariel Sharon, not all Jews.) In a recent poll conducted by the European Union, 59 percent of respondents said Israel is the greatest threat to peace in the world. More than Iran. More than Iraq. More than North Korea. Palestinians are the world's favorite underdogs, beloved of liberals in North America, European politicians of every stripe and Islamofascists the world over ... Palestinians are loved because they are the only people on the planet who can, with any degree of plausibility, claim to be oppressed by Jews. Hatred of the Jews has been the most durable political idea of the last 2,000 years. Jews have been hated by Christians and Muslims, by fascists and communists, by Europeans and Arabs and Africans and Asians. Jews are hated by illiterate peasants and by college professors. Jews are hated by people who think they are better than Jews, and by people who fear they are inferior to them. Jews have been hated for maintaining their identity in the societies in which they live, and for trying to assimilate into them. Jews were hated when they had no state, and because they now have one. It's hard to understand why. Hitler wasn't Jewish. Neither was Stalin or Mao or Pol Pot or Idi Amin. Saddam Hussein isn't Jewish. Neither is Osama bin Laden or Kim Jong Il or Fidel Castro. Attila the Hun wasn't Jewish. Neither was Caligula or Genghis Khan or Ivan the Terrible. There have been a lot of mass murderers in the last 2,000 years. None have been Jewish. Jews didn't start World Wars I or II, or the Korean War, or the Vietnam War. Jews weren't responsible for starvation in the Ukraine in the 1930s, or genocide in Rwanda in the 1990s. It wasn't Jews who flew airplanes into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, or who put nerve gas in Tokyo's subways. Yet Mikis Theodorakis can say "these little people are the root of all evil," and few will contradict him. Of the world's 6.3 billion people, only 12 million are Jewish. By contrast, there are nearly 1.3 billion Muslims, who rule 57 countries which contain most of the world's oil reserves. Yet Mahathir Mohammed, the "moderate" Muslim leader who just retired as prime minister of Malaysia, can claim that "Jews rule the world by proxy," and few will contradict him. Iran is building a nuclear weapon, for the expressed purpose of annihilating Israel. Other Muslim nations applaud the effort, while most Europeans look the other way. Jews are hated in the world today to a degree not seen since the Nazis goose-stepped onto the world stage. All that stands between the Jews and another Holocaust is the United States of America."

He's an Anti, She's an Anti, You're an Anti, Too,
by Gene Callahan, LewRockwell.com, November 8,. 2003
"As a libertarian, I am relatively uninterested in who holds the reins of power. My interest is in making those reins a lot less powerful, so that I won't care so much who is holding them. Therefore, I've paid very little attention to discussions of just who makes up the "global elite." But it is clear that one's views on who is running things are entirely orthogonal to one's like or dislike for any particular group. After all, I don't think many Englishmen who held anti-Irish views thought that the Micks were secretly running the world! For all of their tossing around anti-Semitism as a way to silence their opponents, it is ironic how unabashedly anti-Moslem many of these people are. For example, Sullivan favorably quotes Mark Steyn saying: "There's something pathetic about a culture [Islam] so ignorant even its pathologies have to be imported." I challenge Sullivan or Frum to locate a single quote in the major outlets they regularly smear that is nearly as unambiguously anti-Jewish as that quote is unambiguously anti-Moslem. (Of course, there are real anti-Semites out there, in whose journals one can find real anti-Semitic quotes. If you write for LewRockwell.com, you'll periodically receive mail from them calling you a "Jew lover" and so forth.) But there are many, furiously negative quotes about Moslems in the neocon outlets. What's more, the anti-Islamic prejudices of these folks aren't just some vague grumbling at a cocktail party. No, they recommend nuking Moslem cities, forcing Moslem women into sexual submission to Americans, and forcibly converting Moslems to Christianity. Hey, but that's all in the name of good fun! You can recommend policies that kill hundreds of thousands of Moslems and still be a jolly fine fellow. But make sure you don't casually remark, at a dinner, "There sure are quite a few Jews in Hollywood," or it will be clear that you're a hatemonger."

They yearn for the good old days of genteel anti-Semitism,
By Barbara Amiel, Telegraph (UK), December 1, 2003
"I can't wait for this war to end," a European aristocrat is said to have remarked during the Second World War, "so a gentleman can be an anti-Semite again." The war ended. Adolf, the house-painter from Braunau am Inn, died. And some gentlemen became anti-Semites once more. Modern anti-Semitism sits well with this anecdote. Just as the aristocrat recoiled at Hitler, so the anti-Semitism of the British media, Westminster, Oxbridge and the salon circuit would not dream of advocating the murderous policies of the Third Reich. History repeats itself as it spreads the virus once more among the credulous, but history is mysterious. It never repeats in precisely the same way. In the Middle East, where countries such as Egypt or Saudi Arabia regurgitate the Protocols of Zion and the Damascus Blood libel, one understands the agenda. Behind their anti-Semitism is the elimination of the Jewish state of Israel. More baffling is a BBC programme earnestly explaining that Egypt's newspaper cartoons showing a series of evil-looking and exaggeratedly hook-nosed Jews manipulating America "may seem bizarre, racist and anachronistic to outsiders" but are really only "symbolic" of a desire to support the Palestinians and are based on "no historical hatred of Jews as a race" ... Up-to-date anti-Semitism awards the British cartoon-of-the-year prize to an illustration from the Independent that could happily have graced the pages of Der Sturmer: a vicious caricature of the Israeli prime minister, Ariel Sharon, naked, eating a Palestinian infant. One cannot imagine a British newspaper running a similar caricature of Yasser Arafat or, indeed, his supporter, European Commission president Romano Prodi, even though their money funds some of today's most murderous terrorists. Does any of this matter? Perhaps not. The solution is not to fire BBC journalists or send out the race relations gang to censor the Independent. This low-level anti-Semitism breaks no bones; while it may embolden the thugs who do, in today's Britain it probably only feeds an atmosphere which, at worst, will lead to civil exclusion for British Jews. Visible Jews will be less likely to get university places or be top candidates for jobs. Salon anti-Semitism stops there; it does not envision Auschwitz. Many people, journalists in particular, protest that they are not anti-Semitic only anti-Sharon or anti-Zionist. Possibly. Sometimes it is difficult to draw the line between anti-Semitism and genuine political differences. Some anti-Zionists are just anti-Zionists."

Was Gandhi Anti-Semitic?,
by Sean Gonsalves, Common Dreams, August 28, 2001
"According to the litmus test being used by most Americans and Israelis today, [Mahatma] Gandhi, one of the most revered religious figures of 20th century, is an anti-Semitic, anti-Zionist, pro-Palestinian nut. Gandhi's major statement on the issue can be found in an editorial he wrote in the Harijan on Nov. 11, 1938, a time when the nationalist struggles of Palestinians were coming into severe conflict with the nationalist dreams of Zionism. Gandhi was being pressured by Zionist leaders to promote the British Balfour Declaration of 1917, which called for the "establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jews." He began his editorial expressing his sympathy for the Jewish people and what he described as their having been "cruelly wronged by the world." However, he wrote, "my sympathy does not blind me to the requirements of justice. The cry for the national home for the Jews does not make much appeal to me. The sanction for it is sought in the Bible and in the tenacity with which the Jews have hankered after their return to Palestine. Why should they not, like other peoples of the earth, make that country their home where they are born and where they earn their livelihood?" He rejected the idea of a Jewish state in the Promised Land, pointing out that the "Palestine of the biblical conception is not a geographical tract," which ironically happens to be the argument made by some ultra-Orthodox Jews living in Israel right now. Dr. A.K. Ramakrishnan, senior lecturer and professor at Mahatma Gandhi University in India, explains that Gandhi "was not for religion functioning as a political ideology; rather, he wanted religion to provide an ethical dimension to nation-state politics... . A uni-religious justification for claiming a nation-state, as in the case of Zionism, did not appeal to him in any substantial sense." Gandhi's final piece on the Israel-Palestine question came on July 14, 1946. "In my opinion, they (the Jews) have erred grievously in seeking to impose themselves on Palestine with the aid of America and Britain and now with the aid of naked terrorism... . Why should they resort to terrorism to make good their forcible landing in Palestine?" "It has become a problem which seems almost insoluable. If I were a Jew, I would tell them: 'Do not be so silly as to resort to terrorism...' The Jews should meet the Arabs, make friends with them and not depend on British aid or American aid, save what descends from Jehovah," he wrote. What does it mean when even Gandhi is considered anti-Semitic for criticizing the Israeli government?"

[Racist Israel is the centerpiece that exposes widespread Jewish communal corruption and moral degradation. It is the Pandora's box that guarantees more and more exposure of Jewish self-delusion. The Jewish community throughout the world has linked its fate to monster Israel with self-created iron bonds.

The Return of Anti-Semitism. Israel has become the flash point—and the excuse—for a global explosion of an age-old syndrome. Why has hating the Jews become politically correct in many places? And what can be done about it?,
By Craig Horowitz, New York magazine, December 15, 2003
"On the second floor of the plaza hotel, in a gaudy meeting room with lots of gold-painted wall filigree and faux-Baroque details, about 400 representatives of the Anti-Defamation League from around the country gathered one recent morning for the group’s 90th-anniversary conference. As they settled in for a sober two-day program reflecting the grim situation Jews find themselves in (speakers included John Ashcroft, Thomas Friedman, and Israel’s ambassador to the U.N.), ADL national director Abraham Foxman rose to give the opening address ... It was Foxman at his best: passionate, indignant, and connecting naturally with other Jews. His fears are their fears. His hopes for the future are their hopes. The speech clearly resonated with the audience. But there was one small problem. The centerpiece of the speech, its theme, was misleading. There’s no question these are troubled times. But the notion that Jews in 2003 ought to use the Holocaust as a kind of lens to help them see their current predicament more clearly is, to say the least, problematic. The analogy no longer holds. “Comparing what’s going on today to the thirties is both wrong and dangerous,” says Alan Dershowitz, who also has a new book, The Case for Israel, which is practically a point-by-point guide for responding to the Jewish state’s critics. “The old labels don’t apply, and the old diagnoses don’t address the problem. They substitute emotion for reason, and we can’t win this war with emotion. We need to look forward. We need to start thinking about the 2030s, not the 1930s.” The war to which Dershowitz is referring is the global explosion of hate and hostility directed at Israel and at Jews themselves. For the past eighteen months or so, members of the Jewish community—intellectuals, activists, heads of various organizations, and laypeople—have been struggling desperately to find an effective strategy to address the new reality. It’s been slow going. “The organized Jewish community has just not reacted strongly enough,” says Morton Klein, head of the Zionist Organization of America. Part of the reason for this is that they are facing a new problem, an enemy they haven’t seen before. The stunning result of the burgeoning anti-Israel, anti-Zionist emotion is a kind of politically correct anti-Semitism. Foxman’s analogy to the thirties is right in this respect: It is once again acceptable in polite society, particularly among people with left-of-center political views, to freely express anti-Jewish feelings. What only two or three years ago would have been considered hateful, naked bigotry is now a legitimate political position. The new p.c. anti-Semitism mixes traditional blame-the-Jews boilerplate with a fevered opposition to Israel. In this worldview, the “Zionist entity” has no legitimacy and as a result no right to do what other nations do, like protect itself and its citizens. It is true that immediately labeling someone anti-Semitic because he criticizes Israel is a long-standing, often bogus tactic that has been used by Jews to stymie debate. The new anti-Semitism, however, is in some sense the inverse problem, with criticism of Israel being a kind of Trojan horse in which age-old anti-Semitic feelings are concealed. “Israel has become the Jew among nations,” says Mort Zuckerman, who in addition to his media holdings is the former chairman of the Council of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations. “It is both the surrogate—the respectable way of expressing anti-Semitism—and the collective Jew.” The irony here is that Israel, which was supposed to be the solution to centuries of anti-Semitism, is providing a flash point and a kind of cover for p.c. anti-Semitism ... Suddenly, Jews find themselves less and less able to claim the moral high ground as they are now cast as the villains in the conflict. No matter what Israel does—negotiate, fight, put up a fence—it only seems to make things worse. “I feel sick to my stomach,” says writer and activist Leonard Fein. “I go to meetings where despondence is thick on the table. I also feel scared because Israel is rudderless.”

Israel and the Rise of Anti-Semitism,
by James O. Goldsborough, THE SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE, December 8, 2003
"We are in the midst, warns the Anti-Defamation League, of an "explosion of global anti-Semitism" ... Americans are not immune to these charges of anti-Semitism. Last year, the ADL reported that anti-Semitism was on the rise in America, and last month it reported that the Iraq war has "provided a forum for the sort of pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel protest that spread across U.S. cities and campuses last fall." Americans and Europeans have fought for decades to rid themselves of prejudice. Why would anti-Semitism be on the increase? Neo-Nazi fringes still exist on both continents, but any increase in anti-Semitism comes not from them. What is the source? For example, the ADL states that the rise in anti-Semitism in America reverses a 10-year decline and represents "an undercurrent of Jewish hatred" persisting in America. Its national survey showed that "17 percent of Americans – or about 35 million adults – hold views about Jews that are unquestionably anti-Semitic" ... Why would Greek and Turkish societies, where Jews have long been accepted, turn anti-Semitic? Why would anti-Semitic incidents be up in Germany, where anti-Semitism has been a crime for half a century, and in France, home to 600,000 Jews successfully integrated into French society? Why now? The European Union's answer points in the same direction as the Simon Wiesenthal Center, with its reference to a 21-month-old trend. In 2001, Israel changed governments and the Palestinian uprising took off. The people of Europe have not turned against Jews, they have turned against Israel's government, which, in a recent EU poll, they ranked as the greatest threat to world peace. People can be against Israeli policy without being anti-Semitic just as they can be against Iranian or French policy without being xenophobic. This is recognized by the ADL when it says, "the ADL does not consider mere criticism of Israel to be anti-Semitic or illegitimate." In fact, however, people who criticize Israeli policy are often called anti-Semitic, a convenient amalgamation whose purpose is to stop criticism of Israel. The rise in European "anti-Semitism" is really a rise in criticism of the Sharon government. When governments enflame world passions through aggression, they pay a price. Any American who lived abroad during the Vietnam War knows this. American and European Jews should not suffer because of Israel's policies but, in fact, they do. Here's what Amos Elon, Israel's most important public intellectual, wrote recently: "One begins to realize what 35 years of Israel's mean, arrogant, land-grabbing, and above all, deeply humiliating occupation have wrought in this (Palestinian) society." Jews, whether they support the occupation or not, are blamed, just as Americans were blamed whether or not they supported the Vietnam War and whether or not they support George W. Bush's war. This is no more anti-Americanism than opposing Israel is anti-Semitism. As Humphrey Taylor, head of the Harris Poll, wrote recently, current surveys show world opinion "is not so much anti-American as anti-Bush. Israel's policy under the Sharon government creates a problem for groups like the ADL and Simon Wiesenthal that is largely of their own making. If such groups adopted a responsible position toward Israeli government policy, instead of blanket approval, what passes as anti-Semitism would not be the issue it has become. Whenever Americans call on Israel to take steps toward a just settlement with the Palestinians, you can count on knee-jerk opposition from Jewish spokesmen."

Anti-Semitism lies beneath criticism of Israel, Jews say. European political views aren't bias, others say,
BY KEN DILANIAN, December 18, 2003 , Detroit Free Press, December 18, 2003
"When the composer of the music for the 1964 film "Zorba the Greek" referred to Jews as the "root of all evil" a few weeks ago, a fierce controversy erupted in Athens. But the debate was not over how a renowned figure like Mikis Theodorakis could have said something so outrageous. It was about whether he was being unfairly criticized for his legitimate political beliefs. To many observers, Theodorakis' comments, the reaction to them and a recent poll calling Israel a threat to world peace are among the latest examples of anti-Semitism on the rise in Europe, one that clothes age-old hatreds in the garb of political opposition to Israel's actions in its conflict with the Palestinians. Jewish activists and Israeli officials say they have seen this phenomenon in the words of government officials, left-wing intellectuals and mainstream European news media. "The press was divided into two groups -- one in favor of Mr. Theodorakis and one against," said Moses Constantinis, president of the Central Board of Jewish Communities in Greece, which condemned the composer's remark on behalf of the country's 7,000 Jews. "Many said we were being too harsh in our reaction." Theodorakis, a 76-year-old leftist who became a national hero after he was imprisoned by the military dictatorship that ruled Greece from 1967 to 1974, argued that he merely had been venting over what he considers the immoral policies of the current Israeli government. Plenty of Greeks -- and plenty of other Europeans -- agree with him. Sixty-one percent of Greek respondents to a recent poll cited Israel as a threat to world peace, joining a similar percentage of other European Union citizens. In December 2001, the French ambassador to Britain called Israel "that shitty little country." Last year, the Dutch wife of the president of the European Central Bank said Israel's conduct was worse than the Nazis, having previously blamed the plight of Palestinians on "the rich American Jewish lobby." In Greece last April, major newspapers ran a false story alleging that the Israeli military was selling organs ripped from dead Palestinians. "Because it is not politically correct to say you hate Jews, you say you hate Israel," Israeli government adviser Raanan Gissin said recently. The line between opposition to Israel's tactics and anti-Semitism is difficult to pinpoint, and some in Israel have cautioned against bringing the charge of anti-Semitism too casually. ... "There is a new kind of anti-Semitism today, a composite one," said Cobi Benatoff, president of the European Council of Jewish Communities. "There is the usual one, the old one, that still exists -- plus there is another one, a demonization of the state of Israel."

[DO NOT, ever, say "rich Jew," even if the Jew IS rich. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A "RICH JEW." Just because Jews are the wealthiest ethnic group in America, heavily splattered with millionaires and billionaires, DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING, except, of course, they have the power to demand that you never say "rich Jew." The day is coming when you'll go to jail for it.]
The New Yorker and John Updike Have A ‘Rich Jew’ Problem,
New York Observer, December 3, 2003 [Scroll to bottom, last item]
"Is The New Yorker implicitly endorsing anti-Semitism in its pages? It certainly appeared so in the magazine’s Nov. 24 issue: In a review of Peter Carey’s novel, My Life as a Fake, John Updike refers to one of the characters, David Weiss, as "a rich Jew." Note that Mr. Updike was not quoting a passage from the book, or referring to how another character viewed David Weiss. The "rich Jew" phrase is his own. For the editors of The New Yorker to have signed off on this is insensitive at best. To say that the expression "rich Jew" is loaded with historical anti-Semitism is an understatement. Would Mr. Updike describe someone as "a rich Catholic" or "a rich Protestant"? It is disappointing that an author of Mr. Updike’s talent and position would put his name on a piece of writing that furthers the stereotype. Anti-Semitism is no less harmful when it appears in a highbrow publication than when it is scrawled by thugs on a storefront or a synagogue. Perhaps even more so, since the offense is more subtle and calls less attention to itself. At a time when anti-Semitism has been documented to be on the rise on the country’s college campuses—so much so that Harvard University president Lawrence Summers gave a speech addressing this toxic trend—it is frankly outrageous that David Remnick and the editors of The New Yorker allowed Mr. Updike’s "rich Jew" to appear."

[The day is coming when everything Abe Foxman decries will be regarded as a pile of bird shit, even by him. Repeat after me, Abe: JEWS CAUSE ANTISEMITISM. Anything less is a complete fairy tale. Can Mr. Foxman actually live his own personal and daily life like this, in abject denial of his own contribution -- totally! -- of his actions to the status of his own life? Jewish money and power has allowed guys like him to dominate public forums with myth and legend. Foxman is a shill, a hack, a huckster, a skulking salesman whose purpose in life is to shake the Jewish community for MORE DOLLARS to drown out "anti-Semitism" in a vomitous Wallet Rampage. Antisemitism? Well, by God, THROW MORE MONEY AT IT! MAYBE IT'LL DROWN. When Jews have the courage to toss out exploitive hustlers and hysterical fear-mongers like Foxman into the cold, THEN they can really think, at last, about getting rid of the "anti-Semitic" bogeyman. Foxman SOLICITS "anti-Semitism" because he understands no other world: "Please! Please! Jews aren't responsible for anything! Stand up! Be counted. BLAME SOMEONE ELSE! Let's go kill some more Arab terrorists."]
Don’t Blame Jews For Anti-Semitism,
by Abraham H. Foxman, Jewish Week, December 5, 2003
"Indeed, the true linkage of anti-Semitism to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is the opposite of what Soros and Peres maintain: It is the hatred reflected in anti-Semitism that has made the Israeli-Palestinian conflict even harder to solve. Anti-Semitism, far from being a product of the conflict, is increasingly a cause of it. Not surprisingly, many Jews are distressed by this tendency, now spilling over to our own community, of blaming Jews for anti-Semitism. That is why I have called Mr. Soros’ comments obscene. But there is something far more at stake here than emotions. At play is the sense of purpose needed to do what has to be done about this new anti-Semitism. Make no mistake about it, this new anti-Semitism is the greatest threat to the Jewish people since the days leading up to the Holocaust. It has within it the key components of that great catastrophe: an ideology of hatred that takes over millions of minds and hearts; a military capability to inflict huge casualties; and the complicity of leaders and individuals. Millions of Muslims believe they are the victims of Jewish control over international policies and economics. Mahathir Mohamed of Malaysia knew to whom he was speaking when he told the Islamic Conference that “Jews rule the world by proxy.” Whether it is Holocaust denial, blaming the Jews for 9-11 or the second dramatic presentation in a year on Arabic television based on the legitimacy of “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion,” Muslims — like Germans in the ’30s — are being told day in and day out that they are the victims of the all-powerful Jews. This ideology of hatred, combined with the designs of the terrorists to develop delivery systems for weapons of mass destruction, poses an unprecedented threat to Jewish communities around the world ... It will be a major struggle, led by the United States and supported by American Jews, to broaden and deepen the understanding that anti-Semitism is part of the assault on the Western world by Islamic extremists that threatens us all. At this moment when the Western world is beginning to wake up to the meaning of anti-Semitism, it is uncommonly destructive to give an out by suggesting that in fact the blame lies with the Jews. Let’s be frank. These charges are not true and they can seriously undermine our common struggle. Yes, they are obscene."

[Pro-Israel trash, but some glints of truth about Democrats and Jews in it:]
Ann Coulter's No Anti-Semite,
By Ben Shapiro, Front Page (from Townhall.com),December 4, 2003
"This week, Ann Coulter caught flak from the liberal Jewish community for her latest column, "The Party of Ideas." In her column, she deconstructs the Democratic presidential candidates and exposes them for the panderers they are, especially with regard to the Jewish community. "In addition to having a number of family deaths among them," she writes, "the Democrats' other big idea -- too nuanced for a bumper sticker -- is that many of them have Jewish ancestry. There's Joe Lieberman: Always Jewish. Wesley Clark: Found Out His Father Was Jewish in College. John Kerry: Jewish Since He Began Presidential Fund-Raising. Howard Dean: Married to a Jew. Al Sharpton: Circumcised" ... Never mind that Coulter is clearly on target with regard to the Jewish community. In the distant past, the Democratic Party earned the respect of Jewish voters by representing religious tolerance while maintaining moral values. Today, the Democratic Party buys the Jewish vote with a few pints of Jewish blood. Democrats secure the Jewish vote by suddenly discovering a Jewish relative or appointing a Jew to a position of power ... Yet liberal Jews continue to kvell whenever any Democrat discovers Jewish identity. When Hillary decided that she was Jewish-by-long-lost-relation, New York political consultant Hank Sheinkopf explained that "Jews will now feel that she's almost one of their own. It will make it easier for Jews to connect with her ... Liberal Jews may not like what they hear, but Ann Coulter is right. The Democratic Party has played the demographic Jewish community like a gefilte fish. If liberal Jews want the right to start screaming anti-Semitism, they need to start acting in concert with authentic Jewish values first."

Schoolgirls face court over rabbi insult,
Expatica, December 5, 2003
"Two teenage schoolgirls in France are to be taken to court after a senior Jewish leader complained they had aimed racist insults at him in the street, court officials and the rabbi told AFP Friday. The girls, aged 14 and 15, allegedly said "die, dirty Jew" on Tuesday when they passed him, the rabbi, Elie Dahan, who is the Jewish religious leader for the northern city of Lille, said. Dahan lodged a police report and demanded the girls be taken to court. "They refused to apologise to me. Given the seriousness of what happened, I decided to start legal action," he said. A court official said the girls would appear before a children's tribunal for "insults of a racist character".

[If "civilization" is actually Judeocentric, racist, exploitive, authoritarian, grotesquely materialist, hedonist, censorial, and increasingly Zionist, today's Jewish whiner here -- speaking on behalf of the U.S. government, now a virtual appendage of Israeli foreign policy (at merely another Holocaust festival) -- is right.]
State Department Official Says Anti-Semitism Attacks Foundations of Civilization,
Truth News, December 4, 2003
"Anti-Semitism is not just an attack against the Jewish people, "it is an attack on the foundations of civilized society itself," said Under Secretary of State Marc Grossman, addressing the Task Force for International Cooperation on Holocaust Education, Remembrance and Research at the State Department December 3. "Political leadership must speak out. We shall not rest until anti-Semitism ends up with the other discredited -- ‘isms'," he said, having cited numerous examples of anti-Semitic statements and violence in contemporary Europe and the United States. The international task force has grown to 16 member countries since its founding in 1998, Grossman noted, and education is at the heart of the group's work, because education "has always been the best antidote to ignorance and hatred." "Through education, remembrance and research," he said, the task force has "helped preserve the memory of the millions of Holocaust victims so that we may never forget." Through its support of academic work, documentary films, and other projects, it also seeks "to help all of us fathom the unfathomable, the great evil of the 20th Century that was the Holocaust -- so that -- Never Again is not only a wish, but an unwavering objective not just of our policies but of our lives."

[On this Jewish count, Louis Farrakhan is of course largely right. Abraham Foxman and the Anti-Defamation League embody the censorial power that Farrakhan talks about. How come the Black nationalist movement, the globalist leftist movement, Arabs, Muslims, Malaysians, the White nationalist movement, masses of Europeans, and so many others agree on some important aspects about Jews and Zionism? Because Jews CAUSE what they call "anti-Semitism" by Jewish beliefs and actions.]
Farrakhan Makes Anti-Semitic Speech,
Anti-Defamation League, December 4, 2003
"Louis Farrakhan, the leader of the Nation of Islam, lashed out with a vicious attack on Jews in his November 23, 2003 sermon to followers at Mosque Maryam, the NOI headquarters in Chicago. In his two-hour speech, Minister Farrakhan depicted Jews as "masters of Hollywood" who are poisoning American society with "filth and indecency." Farrakhan also accused Jews of tampering with the Bible and promoting moral decay around the world. "There are beautiful members of the Jewish community who are trying their utmost to follow the law and the teachings of Moses and the prophets that God sent to Israel," Mr. Farrakhan intoned. "But there's another Jew who is not really a Jew; he is an imposter posing as a Jew. "In the Bible, in the Book of Revelations, says -- listen, listen, listen, then go check it out for yourself, you have a Bible -- those who say they are Jews and are not, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan. Who are the masters of Hollywood? How could you be a righteous Jew and promote that which is forbidden by the God of Israel? Come on now, how could you be a righteous Jew and publish the filth that is published daily, feeding the minds of the American people and the people of the world filth and indecency, and making it fair seeming in their eyes," Farrakhan said. Farrakhan has long expressed anti-Semitic and anti-white rhetoric which has marked him as a notable figure on the extremist scene. In past remarks, he has expressed hostility toward Jews and repeated the canard about Jews having too much control of government, the entertainment industry and African-Americans. More recently, Farrakhan has made efforts to dampen his charged rhetoric while insisting that he is not an anti-Semite. In an interview with The New York Sun, Abraham H. Foxman, National Director of the Anti-Defamation League, said that mainstream Jewish groups had not been convinced by Farrakhan's efforts to mend fences with the Jewish community, and that his most recent remarks show that Farrakhan has returned to his anti-Semitism. "For a while, Mr. Farrakhan contained his anti-Semitism and tried to restrain himself," Mr. Foxman told the Sun. "When now anti-Semitism is so upfront over the world -- from the Prime Minister of Malaysia, to the composer of Zorba to the bin Ladens and those who speak in his name -- I guess Mr. Farrakhan no longer feels the need to be restrained."

[CounterPunch is a good leftie anti-Zionist journal. But its moral indignation about censorship (see below) of its own material (based upon CounterPunch's alleged "anti-Semitism") is pretty thin. What goes around, comes around, and what you sock over the net is what you get socked back. The Jewish Tribal Review has sent articles to CounterPunch in the past and its editors don't even respond to us. Now, why would that be, except to play the usual close-to-the-vest gamesmanship about what is, and is not, kosher "anti-Semitism?" To criticize Israel is one thing, and you can get in plenty of difficulties just for that. But to criticize JEWISH history, identity, and political influence is apparently off the charts, even for CounterPunch. We think our 150+ page Accusation of Anti-Semitism is as good an examination as there is about the subject. The information by Jewish author Jason Sherman that addresses his article about two books about "anti-Semitism" is quite revealing, but not surprising. (His article didn't match Judeocentric and Zionist propaganda standards and was killed by Toronto's Globe and Mail editor Martin Levin, who of course is also Jewish.) Bottom line here though, as usual, is that "anti-Semitism" in the mass media is the domain of Jewish and Jewish sycophant discourse; the discussion of what ranks as "anti-Semitism" at the large audience public forum level is a purely Judeocentric exercise.]
Toronto Globe and Mail Kills Review of "The Politics of Anti-Semitism",
by Jason Sherman, CounterPunch, December 6-7, 2003
"Hello, CounterPunch, I was asked to write a review of two recent books on anti-Semitism for Toronto's Globe and Mail newspaper. The two books are "The Politics of Anti-Semitism" and Phyllis Chesler's "The New Anti-Semitism." I filed the review a week ago, and was sent an email earlier this week from the editor, who expressed "real problems" with the review. The "real problems" seem to stem from the fact that I didn't slam "The Politics" (and its "out of the same litter contributors") but instead praised it while ridiculing (justifiably, I believe) the Chesler book. I have written many reviews for the Globe, as well as for the Toronto Star and other publications. (My day job is writing plays.) They have never spiked a review of mine before. I should add that I approached the Globe with the idea of reviewing "The Politics" (before I'd read it), and that they agreed, but only if I would also consider the Chesler book. I wonder if you'd be interested in looking at the review, as well as the correspondence relating to it. Yours, Jason Sherman, Toronto. [The review, filed Thursday, Nov 13.] You're Either Against Us, or You're Not For Us, By Jason Sherman. The Politics of Anti-Semitism Edited by Alexander Cockburn and Jeffrey St. Clair AK Press, 178 pgs. (US$12.95) The New Anti-Semitism The Current Crisis and What We Must Do About It By Phyllis Chesler Wiley, 305 pgs, $38.95 It doesn't take much to get yourself called an anti-Semite these days. A few years ago I wrote a play that questioned some cherished notions about Israel. My "self-hating Jew" badge arrived in the next edition of the Canadian Jewish News. Not that I was surprised. After all, Noam Chomsky once wrote that "Left-liberal criticism of Israeli government policy since 1967 has evoked hysterical accusations and outright lies." Oppose the Israeli occupation and its treatment of the Palestinian people, he noted, and you risked being labeled "a supporter of terrorism and reactionary Arab states, an opponent of democracy, an anti-Semite, or if Jewish, a traitor afflicted with self-hatred." As two new books make clear, little has changed in the last 35 years, except perhaps that the mud is thicker, the slinging fiercer, the cry of "anti-Semite!" louder (and less credible) than ever."

[THE consummate stereotype of modern times is that of the generic "anti-Semite" who is rendered by Jewish enforcement to be thoughtless, stupid, uneducated, violent, and obsessed by irrational "hate." It does not matter if the "anti-Semite" is Left-wing, Right-wing, Malaysian, Mexican-American, Russian, Palestinian, whatever. The "anti-Semite" is, to Jewish dictate, the moral Neanderthal, in historic parallel to the enduring Jewish angel. "Anti-Semitism" is, as we all are ceaselessly told, a pathological disease. This Jewish ideology of critical repression is a form of intellectual fascism, because it DICTATES the supposed origins of "anti-Semitism" (the omnipresnt hate "virus") without ANY public forum about it. The article below is quintessential "hate" in many respects, not the least in that it condemns an entire "miserable corner of the word," except racist Israel.]
An ancient contagion thrives, Stereotypes and the appeal to hate,
By Suzanne Fields, Jewish World Review, December 8, 2003
"Stereotypes have their grim uses. Stereotypes galvanize hostility by dehumanizing a person or group, with no appeal to thinking. At best, in the hands of political cartoonists and satirists, stereotypes illuminate political and cultural observation with wit and insight. At worst, stereotypes appeal to man's capacity to hate, to direct terror against the innocent. The Nazis used stereotypes of Jews to rally the storm troopers and led in a direct line to the concentration camps as whole nations (with a few honorable exceptions) turned their backs on the Jews ... The anti-Semitism of the British and European elites quickly leads to hatred of America because democratic America supports democratic Israel. France and England should logically cherish Israel, too, as the lonely democracy in the Middle East, the only redoubt of free speech, free religion and the freedom to have no religion in that miserable corner of the world. But logic dies in resentment and hatred. Anti-Semitism is nurtured by the left on our own campuses, sometimes disguised as merely anti-Israel sentiment ... It's one of the sadder ironies of our time that the Jews established a home of their own in Israel as an inoculation against anti-Semitism only to discover that the ancient disease is alive, well, thriving — and threatening."

[More and more Jewish hysteria. George Bush encourages "anti-Semitism?! Oh, obviously. And more Jewish slander of Islam. "Racist gangsterism," invented here as a term for Muslims by this Jewish huckster, is a good term for Jews. Check out the Torah (Old Testament) some time. Then come back and let's talk about "racist gangsterism." We challenged this guy, Jared Israel, to a debate once. We offered to post his views at this web site if he'd debate us about them. He was -- how do they call it politely? -- a "no show." Jewish ideology dictates; it never listens.]
The Politics of Anti-Semitism, Part I,
by Jared Israel, Israel National News, December 8, 2003
"In hidden and open ways, the public in Muslim countries and the West is being sold political anti-Semitism. The central idea in this political philosophy is that a supposed conspiracy of Jews dominates the world - or at least the US and Europe - causing all problems. This idea isn't new; it's all in the Protocols of Zion and Mein Kampf. As in the past, the goal is to leverage already existing prejudice against Jews to create movements indoctrinated in the false belief that “The Jews” are causing world problems, thus protecting the Establishments in North America, Europe and the Muslim countries ... Given the widespread evidence of rampant anti-Semitism in Europe, why did the EU suppress its own report on this problem? According to the Times, the report came to a conclusion that was deemed politically incorrect: Attacks on European Jews are mainly carried out by Muslims. "The focus on Muslim and pro-Palestinian perpetrators... was judged inflammatory." Notice that the word they use is "inflammatory ", not "false ". Such things as murdering innocent people in the street or in their places of worship because they are Jews constitute racist gangsterism. Like every political force, racist gangsters are sensitive to public opinion. If the media and official bodies suppress the information that it is Muslims who are carrying out violent attacks on Jews in Europe, then the gangsters don't pay a political price for their terror. Thus, by suppressing the report, the European Union empowered murderers. Based on everything I have heard and read, the upsurge in hatred towards Jews in Europe goes far beyond the Muslim population. Moreover, it is escalating rapidly, and not only in Europe ... In the West, TV stations are not (yet) broadcasting programs depicting rabbis slitting Gentile children's throats. Instead, the vehicle of demonization is mainly the misrepresentation of the Middle East conflict. Up until now, when people have falsely claimed that Israel is an apartheid state, the greatest oppressor on earth, and so on, the polite fiction was that the target was Israel, not Jews as a group. But of course, it is hard to maintain that fiction in the face of the EU report. If Muslims are not opposed to Jews as Jews then why are they knifing Orthodox Jews on the streets of France? What do French Jews have to do with opposition to Israeli policies, real or imagined? Unless, of course, the opposition to Israel is rooted in its being a Jewish state and unless, in turn, the media coverage that mobilizes opposition to Israel encourages hatred of Jews everywhere. Alongside the demonization of Israel, there is another process at work, fanning anti-Semitism in the West. This involves the idea that a secret cabal of Jews is dominating US policy. The 'Jews-are-in-control' myth is being pushed in the mass media and, I believe, deliberately encouraged by the Bush administration."

Orwellian anti-Semitism,
By John Chuckman, YellowTimes.org, July 25, 2002
"George Orwell understood the power of words, and he understood the power of ideology to utterly corrupt their meaning. He identified tyranny with expressions such as "war is peace" or "ignorance is strength." But absolute government is not necessary to experience the corrupted language of power and the abuses it hides. A nasty democratic minority, supported by a population choked with fear or prejudice, or a ruling majority full of hate or bad intentions is perfectly capable of producing them. We literally see this happening before our eyes, both in the United States and in Israel. Mr. Bush calls Mr. Sharon a man of peace. Mr. Sharon rockets and bulldozes his way through the West Bank and Gaza, murders suspects, arrests the families of suspects, threatens to deport whole families guilty of no crime, and calls his dirty work a fight against terrorism. North American defenders of his brutality call any conscientious person questioning these actions an "anti-Semite." It is impossible to understand how bulldozing homes of "suspects" and the idea of rounding up their families for deportation reflect anything but the most elemental hatred and vengeance ... The word anti-Semitism, after the Holocaust, became a terrible epithet imbued with the blood of millions of innocents. Now, less than 60 years later, it is being twisted and abused, even trivialized, by, of all people in the world, some Jews. This word is carelessly, foolishly thrown around today, particularly in the United States. Write something criticizing policies in Israel, and you are anti-Semitic. Stand up for reason, justice, and decency - applied to all, not just to some - and you are anti-Semitic. Point out the fact that a murderous thug is now the prime minister of Israel, and you are anti-Semitic. I actually had one individual write me saying that he knew I was glad Jewish children were being murdered. This was written to someone who gave up the country of his birth rather than murder children in Vietnam."

[It doesn't matter what bravery you display in combat, all military heroes are expected, firstly, to kiss the requisite Jewish Butt or be considered an antihero: a veritable criminal. Whatever you are, whatever you do, it means nothing unless you only speak in laudatory terms about Jews which is the prerequisite to any kind of public anointment.]
Honor for Navy hero stirs outrage over his anti-Semitic politics,
By JAY REEVES, Florida Times Union, December 13, 2003
"Rear Adm. John Crommelin was one of five Alabama brothers known as the "fightin' Crommelins" for their World War II exploits, with the Navy ship USS Crommelin now named in their honor. But when Crommelin was inducted posthumously into the Alabama Military Hall of Honor recently, memories of his military career were followed by denunciations of the virulent anti-Semitism that marked his postwar politics. "This is not a man who you would just consider a sign of the times," said Deborah Lauter, regional director of the Anti-Defamation League in Atlanta. "He was a leader in the hate movement." Both the Crommelin family and the head of the military hall said John Crommelin was recognized as one of five heroic brothers during the war, with no thought given to his civilian life. "All of us were happy to see the Crommelin brothers honored," said nephew Henry Crommelin Jr., a Birmingham physician. "We don't think there's anything to disparaging Uncle John's name." But detractors say Crommelin's induction into a state-supported hall was an insult to those who still remember his hate talk of the 1950s and '60s, which included claims that a "communist-Jewish conspiracy" was behind racial integration and that Gov. George C. Wallace - who at the time vowed "segregation forever" - was too soft on blacks. "To honor a man like that is ludicrous," said Marian Shinbaum, a retired Jewish psychologist from Montgomery. "It's a travesty." Born in the Montgomery area, the Crommelins are the only five brothers to ever graduate the U.S. Naval Academy. Four of them became pilots, and Time magazine dubbed them "The Indestructibles." They weren't. Brothers Charles and Richard were killed in action in the Pacific. But Henry, Quentin and John survived. Considered one of the top pilots in the Navy, John Crommelin was promoted to admiral and served aboard the USS Enterprise. After the war, he was credited with helping stop an attempt to dismantle Navy aviation. But the fallout forced him to retire from the military in 1950. "He did a lot for his country," said his nephew. Back home in Alabama, Crommelin became known as an outspoken segregationist with anti-Semitic views. An unsuccessful candidate for offices including U.S. Senate, governor and even president from 1950 through 1968, Crommelin espoused beliefs that Jews wanted to create a "copper-colored" race of slaves and wipe out Christianity so they could rule the world from Israel and the United Nations, according to material gathered by the Anti-Defamation League. "He would use his Navy background to lend credence to what he was saying," said the Anti-Defamation League's Lauter. The tactic worked to an extent. Running as an independent, Crommelin received about 24 percent of the statewide vote in a 1950 race against the late U.S. Sen. Lister Hill - not good, but better than anyone else who opposed the powerful Democrat from 1942 through 1960. While Crommelin's anti-Semitism was well known to Alabama's Jewish citizens, many others forgot about it or were unaware of the rhetoric by the time he died in 1997. The head of the Hall of Honor, located at Marion Military Institute, said he didn't know about Crommelin's politics when the 23-member board approved the nomination of Crommelin and his four brothers. "There was no intent for the Hall of Honor to disregard that. It simply was not presented to the board," said John Gibler, director of the hall ... Henry Crommelin said his uncle was a typical white Southerner of his times, a man fixed in his beliefs and fearful of change amid the civil rights movement. But Crommelin's views seem particularly bad now because everyone is trying to be "politically correct," he said. "We still have First Amendment rights in this country, don't we? Damn right we do," Crommelin said."

Holiday Ad Has Hidden Hate Message. Hanukkah Flier Contains Anti-Semitic Line,
NBC 5 (Dallas, TX), December 11, 2003
"A holiday shopping flier that's been distributed to thousands of households in north Texas is creating controversy because a message of hate is included within an advertisement. An ad for "Party City" was supposed to highlight a sale on Hanukkah items, but it also contained a hateful anti-Semitic message. The advertisement includes the sentence "CC Hates the Jews" in large, bold letters. According to ADVO, the company that printed the advertisement, a graphic artist working on the ad had left his desk for a moment, and a co-worker with the initials C.C. changed the text on the ad. The graphic artist didn't notice the change and the ad went to print. However, despite the explanation, the Anti-Defamation League wants more questions answered. "How did it get out of the graphic shop in Pittsburgh? How did it get by ADVO? How did it get by the printer and all of that?" Mark Briskman said. ADVO representatives in Dallas said they are mortified by the oversight and that they are trying to figure out why the error was never caught."

[Here's the closure to the Canadian Jewish Congress's attack on Jewish professor Michael Neumann for his email comments to this web site. Anti-Zionist Neumann grovels a bit, falls on his knees to the Jewish Lobby, and then he's kosher -- albeit marginally.

For the record, we here at JTR do not "encourage, condone or participate in racist rhetoric." On the contrary. We evidence, in massive detail, how Jews do that.]
Prof says sorry to CJC,
by Clark Kim, Metroland Papers (Canada) (posted here at Canadian Jewish Congress, December 3 2003
"A Trent University professor accused of publishing anti-Semetic statements on-line has sent a letter of regret to the Canadian Jewish Congress Ontario Region (CJC) after four months of discussion between the university and the CJC. Professor Michael Neumann published his personal political writings on web sites outside the university about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and has allegedly exchanged repeated emails with the anti-Semetic "Jewish Tribal Review" web site. In his letter to CJC, Prof. Neumann states that he does not and will not "encourage, condone or participate in racist rhetoric or the targeting of any community based on race, religion and other prohibited grounds." The letter continues to express Prof. Neumann's regret at the remarks attributed to him in the e-mail exchange with the "Jewish Tribal Review." Bonnie Patterson, Trent University president, says while he didn't write any of the statements as an academic, "the statements attributed to Mr. Neumann... were nonetheless perceived by some as being offensive and unacceptable."

Just tell the truth about Israel,
by Kathy Fisher, Unknown News, December 15, 2003
"I would love just once for someone (before they spout the words anti-Semite) to come out and say so what! Why can't someone say "We are defending Israel"? Or ask, "What's wrong with helping Israel?" I'd like to know what keeps people from saying this? What are they afraid of? What's the big secret here? Are they worried that the United States will stop sending money to Israel if people found out tomorrow that our military was really in Iraq trying to make the middle east a safer place for Israel? Haven't the leaders of the US and the UK always referred to Israel time and again as our great ally in the middle east, or did I dream that? For goodness sake I'm so sick of this. If you are going to defend Israel, then defend Israel. Open the windows and let the fresh air in — just admit it ! Don't be ashamed or afraid to yell at the top of your neocon lungs "YES WE ARE DEFENDING ISRAEL, RIGHT OR WRONG." If we heard an American leader saying that, then I could respect that leader's honesty. I think then we would be hearing what is really on neoconservatives' minds. That would be much better than to label everyone who may ask an embarrassing but legitimate question concerning Israel an anti-Semite. It's so predictable and tiresome now, and it is not at all serving any purpose anymore. ... Soon I and people like myself will be questioning "your" loyalty to Israel, and won't that be putting the shoe on the other foot? By doing this "you're an anti-Semite" dance all the time, you are only causing people to wonder about your own legitimacy, and why you would fear anyone that asks the question in the first place. We might even start to wonder if you're only defending Israel because you're afraid that something bad might happen to you if you did not, or whether you have something to gain by always taking the defensive when it comes to Israel. You see, I don't know how it feels to be in your shoes because I'm always on the other side, and I'm quite sick of being called an anti-Semite, just because I don't support the way Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and his army is dealing with the Palestinian situation and the Palestinian people. If I don't want you to call me an anti-Semite, I guess I'm not supposed to say anything critical when I see this mad man Sharon being unable to distinguish a few suicide bombers from the rest of the Palestinian people. I'm not supposed to disagree with one tiny aspect on all things concerning Israel or PM Sharon's bad judgement. I'm supposed to be 100% in total agreement 100% of the time with every single decision, every single process, every detail, right down to the ridiculous and inhumane curfews being forced on the Palestinians. I'm not supposed to disagree with anything which gives the Israeli army another chance to kill more of the people their commanders perceive as in their way. I'm supposed to look away when peacekeepers foolishly get in the way of the peace process and get themselves run over by bulldozers or caught in the crossfire by placing themselves in harm's way. I dare not question the way the Israeli army treats the press from other countries, or how PM Sharon tries to control and dictate to our own American media. Yeah, tell me again how I'm just imagining that one ... God forbid I have an opinion about how a 60-mile-long enormously high concrete wall — which makes the old, torn-down Berlin wall look like a picket fence — has been allowed to go up with out any substantial criticism from our American leader or our pitiful corporate-controlled U.S. media. I'm also supposed to ignore how entire families get slaughtered because Sharon and his band of bullies said they were in the way of getting alleged conspirators and/or collaborators of suicide bombers that were allegedly in the vicinity. If I don't want to be called an anti-Semite, I must also think less of Palestinian babies when they are killed, and only weep when Israeli babies get killed. The fact that an entire apartment building gets bulldozed in the so-called hunt for family members of a suicide bomber, or people get shot because they were thought to have been in cahoots with someone from Hamas — I should not let this upset me. I must ignore that the buildings they knock down never get replaced and that the land is quickly taken over, literally stolen from the Palestinians for yet another Israeli settlement. Never should I ask, where else on earth would anyone get away with this without total outrage from the rest of the world? I must be obedient, shut up, sit on my hands, do nothing and say nothing. I must never criticize the way things are done in the land of the chosen people, not unless I want to be marked forever with the dreaded "A" word. Maybe someday I and others who dare to question the Zionists' policies and actions will have tattoos on our foreheads or arms identifying us, and saving Israel from any questions. The tattoo, of course, would be the word "anti-Semite."

AUTH CARTOON BEGETS CHARGES OF ANTI-SEMITISM, FAIRLY OR NOT,
by Ahmed Bouzid, American Reporter, December 17, 2003
"On July 31, 2003, nationally syndicated cartoonist Tony Auth, who is based at the Philadelphia Inquirer, published a cartoon critical of the 'Separation Wall' that showed the star of David made out of barbed wire enclosing Palestinian populations. The cartoon immediately created an uproar within the Jewish community in Philadelphia and nationwide and raised the usual hackles of anti-Semitism against the cartoonist. Representatives from various Jewish groups in Philadelphia at once asked for a meeting with the Inquirer and two weeks later, on August 18, 2003, met with newly installed Editor in Chief, Amanda Bennett, to complain about the cartoon and the cartoonist. Two weeks later, on August 31, 2003, the Inquirer devoted a whole page of op-ed space for these groups to air their grievances. On Sept. 1st, representatives of Arab and Muslim groups in Philadelphia who had been seeking a meeting with Ms. Bennett since she became editor in June, and who had been told by Ms. Bennett that she was not meeting with anyone "just yet," contacted Ms. Bennett upon learning of her meeting with the Jewish groups and requested a meeting to discuss what they felt to be a disturbing and well-established pattern in Mr. Auth's cartoons of using and abusing deragotary stereotypes about Palestinians, Arabs, and Muslims. Five weeks later, On Oct. 8, representatives from Palestine Media Watch (I was one) and the Philadelphia chapter of the Arab-American Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) met with Ms. Bennett for more than one hour to discuss Mr. Auth's cartoons. We presented Ms. Bennett with seven copies of two neatly bound reports focusing on all cartoons published by Mr. Auth regarding the Palestine-Israel conflict (45 cartoons) and Arabs and Muslims in general (41 cartoons, excluding Iraq) between September 2000 and August 2003 ... Our request to Ms. Bennett at the end of the meeting was for the Inquirer to provide a Sunday op-ed page for Arab and Muslim Americans in the Philadelphia area to write on how they have been portrayed by the US media and how they have fared in general since 9/11, given their precarious civil rights situation. Ms. Bennett said that she would take the matter into consideration and that she would get back to us with an answer soon. Since the meeting, we sent Ms. Bennett three follow-up emails in a span of more than two months asking for her to update us on her decision. For more than 10 weeks, neither Ms. Bennett nor Mr. Auth, nor indeed anyone else in the Inquirer, even bothered to respond to our queries. Direct queries to Mr. Auth were also ignored ... Obviously, the difference between our groups and the Israel-first groups is that we came to Ms. Bennett respectfully, quietly, without first mobilizing a letter-writing campaign, with two reports spanning three years of evidence, and we presented our case without impugning the cartoonist's or the paper's intentions or integrity, and without shrill accusations of bigotry and racism. By contrast, Israel-first groups immediately mobilized their members to flood the Inquirer with letters and phone calls, with of course the usual accusations of anti-Semitism. So, what lessons should one draw from this tale of two pressure groups? The first immediate lesson is that the "anti-Semitism" card, especially when backed with hysterical and shrill outcries, will every time trump reasoned and empirically-informed argument. About a year ago, a similar tug-of-war between Israel-first groups and our groups took place, with basically the same results: on the one hand, a hundred or so Israel-first demonstrators shouted outside of the offices of the Inquirer slogans to the effect that - what else - the Inquirer was 'anti-Semitic', that it was the legacy of Nazi-sympathizers, that it supported terrorism, and called for a boycott of the paper ... A second, and related, lesson is that newspapers will react not to reasoned argument but to raw pressure. The pressure group that mobilizes the more people to make phone calls, send faxes, or send emails, is the pressure group that gets the attention. Pretty straightforward physics, but important to note and highlight, since I have yet to meet a single editor or reporter who was honest enough to acknowledge this depressing fact of life in American journalism. Instead, every single time the issue comes up, I am given the high-minded bromide that journalists resent organized mobilizations and that such mobilizations are more often counter-productive than they are effective. But reality spells a different story: the loud and hard right, for instance, has successfully intimidated weak-kneed newspapers into giving them far more space than they deserve, given how marginal their opinions are relative to mainstream public opinion ... The bottom line: mobilize and mobilize, and make noise. Not that we should stoop to tarring-and-feathering, to lying and lynching; not that we should emulate every aspect of the Israel-first and the hard right camps. That is not the style of principled causes. But we do have clear and present enemies who are so consumed by self-righteousness that any destruction they wreck with their intolerance to dissenting opinion is in their mind fully justified by the end they seek. Well, for those who feel that the progressive cause is inherently and by definition too diverse and too democratic to train its sights on any one target with common, concentrated energy, we do have one: a bitter fight against those who feel that our destruction is an important stepping-stone towards their false Utopia."

Sparring Over ‘Super Jews’,
by Julia Goldman, Jewish Week, December 26, 2003
"Just as rival Gotham weekly New York magazine was exposing “The New Face of Anti-Semitism” in its cover story, the edgy entertainment guide Time Out New York was giving a platform to anti-Semitic screed on its letters page. “(I)t’s not enough that Jews promote themselves ad nauseum and take responsibility for everything good in history, the country and the city,” wrote an incensed reader, Michael Lipscomb. “Now we have a new ‘cool bunch.’ ” TONY had devoted its Dec. 4 issue to “The New Super Jews,” featuring a story about a “new breed of Jewish culture” — seen in the launching of Heeb magazine and Shmoth, its new performance series; the popularity of klezmer events at hip, mainstream music venues; and lines of T-shirts emblazoned with Jewish slogans, among other trends. Rakoff noted anti-Semitism’s global rise, as a contrast to the explosion of Jewish pride among younger Jewish Americans. Reactions to freelancer Joanna Smith Rakoff’s article were mixed, but Lipscomb, writing via the Internet, took a page from Jewish conspiracy theorists. “Will [Jews] take responsibility for the dumbing down of media culture, the university curriculum, the public schools, Hollywood and other social discourses in the city?” Lipscomb asked. “These things occurred on their watch, including the hijacking of American foreign policy in the Middle East.” Lipscomb ended his diatribe by asking why “cool Jews” aren’t fighting in Iraq “where blacks and Latinos, among others, are dying for their ‘other’ country, Israel?” Asked about the decision to run the letter, TONY editor-in-chief Joe Angio said he and his staff were “appalled” by Lipscomb’s “knucklehead” sentiments. But, Angio said, “Knowing our readers, by putting it in we knew it would generate discussion, and he would be called to task.” Last week’s issue, which hit newsstands Dec. 16, doubled its usual space for letters to accommodate angry rebuffs."

[Submitted by a contributor: "By now it should be obvious that there is no defense against the charge [of anti-Semitism]. The charge is true if the person making it is more powerful than the person who is accused. There is no other operative definition of discourse as it is practiced today. To say there is involves an appeal to the world of objective fact, which the powerful hold in contempt." - E. Michael Jones, Culture Wars magazine, December 2003, page 12]

The Sound and the Fury.When Jewish Billionaire George Soros Defended Anti-Semitism, He Opened Up More Than the Usual Floodgates, [paper edition, offline]
Jewish Chronicle (UK), December 12, 2003, p. 9
"The remarks [by George Soros before the Jewish Funders Network] that set off fierce debate among American Jewish leaders, Congressmen, newspaper colunists and editorialists -- and elicited reaction from the White House as well as the front-runner in the race for the Democratic nomination for president -- centered around Soros's response to a question about whether he believed there was a resurgence of anti-Semitism in Europe. In remarks frist reported by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency news wire service, Soros said, 'There is a resurgence of anti-Semitism in Europe. The policies of the Bush administration and the Sharon administration contribute to that. It's not specifically anti-Semitism, but it does manifest itself in anti-Semitism as well. I'm critical of those policies.' He added, 'If we change that direction, then anti-Semitism also will diminish. I can't see how one could confront it directly.' The billioniare financier said he, too, bears some responsibility for the new global anti-Semitism, citing a speech in October by Malaysia's prime minister in which Mathathir said, 'Jews rule the world by proxy.' Having financed projects that have influenced governments and promoted various political causes around the world, Soros noted, 'Unintended, I actually feed into it.' The remarks caused a storm of controversy. 'For someone who is so sophisticated and so concerened about goodwill and good understanding, his comments only strengthen the anti-Semites,' said Abraham Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League. Calling Soros's comments 'absolutely obscene,' Foxman said Soros buys into the stereotype of Jews often propounded by anti-Semites. "It's a simplistic, counterproductive, biased and bigoted perception of what's out there, he said. 'It's blaming the victim for all of Israel's and the Jewish people's ills ... Elan Steinberg, senior adviser at the World Jewish Congress, said: 'Let's understand things clearly. Anti-Semitism is not caused by Jews, it's caused by anti-Semites' ... Mark Charendoff, the president of the group that invited Soros to speak at the meeting of the Jewish Funders Network ... wrote: 'My concern is with the Jewish community's response, not the guest speaker's remarks.' He asked, 'When did we begin to prefer condemnation over debate? When did we become so dull as to only want to talk to those with whom we agree? What has happened to our self-confidence? Do we really have such a low opinion of ourselves and our place in the world that we must constantly be in a state of circling the wagons, of seeking out enemies where they don't exist (instead of focusing our energy on the ones that really do), of beating dissenting view into cowering submission?' ... The debate over Soros's remarks goes to the heart of the question of what is and isn't appropriate criticism of Israel and Jews. That fact that the controversial comments in this case were made by a Jew -- and a Holocaust survivor no less -- have fueled the debate even further."

[So let's see if I have this straight: one of the major two-faced, pro-apartheid Israel Jewish propaganda agencies seeks to put the "Big Lie" of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion to rest by inferring to gullible goyim that Israelite history is rife with the will to peace. My God, folks. Have you read the Torah (Old Testament) lately? Genocide, fraticide, mass atrocity, you name it. Just for starters, Judaism declares that that God told Jews to wipe out the Canaanites, in total. Man, woman, child, and any animals they owned. Period. Sure, that results in a kind of Jewish peace: a pile of non-Jewish bodies drying out like leather in a refugee camp. Adolf Hitler wanted his version of "peace" too. So did Attila the Hun. So does Ariel Sharon. Hey, Rabbi Cooper. Explain to us honestly one time the Jewish notion of goyim in your notion of Jewish world harmony and "peace." Who cares about the Protocols when the super-wealthy Simon Wiesenthal's propagation of their own "Big Lies" guarantees enormous longevity to the struggle for truth against such Judeocentric institutional fraudsters. What is urgently needed: a parallel $5 million grant to point-by-point rebut this new Jewish dissimulation, misdirection, propaganda, and apologetic. And super irony: the Simon Wiesenthal Center and its multi-million dollar propaganda flood (note that the publisher of the new Wiesenthal book, KTAV, is an Israeli firm) will inevitably breathe new life into the Protocols. Read it again in the context of the Wiesenthal efforts below and the Wiesenthal's vast economic reach and lying seem like an endorsement of the old text it aims to refute. Is this the Jewish paragon of virtue? Money = Truth. Truth = money.]
Group rebuts anti-Semitic book Century-old 'Protocols' just won't go away,
By Jim Remsen, Deseret News (from The Philadelphia Inquirer), December 27, 2003
"If anti-Semitism is a rogue religion, its reigning bible is "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion." "The Protocols," first issued in Russia a century ago, is a notoriously fraudulent manifesto. It purports to spell out a Jewish plot to control the world by secretly manipulating the financial markets, the media and other levers of power. Though it was soon exposed as a paranoid hoax forged by the czar's secret police, "The Protocols" didn't vanish. In fact, its vitriol has never had wider circulation than today because of the Internet and the "New Anti-Semitism" that watchdog groups are chronicling, particularly in Europe and the Muslim world. In response, specialists from the Simon Wiesenthal Center, a Jewish human-rights group, have written a book that scholars say is the first item-by-item rebuttal of the undying "Protocols." Titled "Dismantling the Big Lie," the new book tackles a grim task. "The Protocols" is a dense polemic, a supposed master plot written by Jewish "learned elders" who regard non-Jews as "a flock of sheep, and we are their wolves." For instance, Protocol 7 ("A Prophecy of Worldwide War") declares that "we must create unrest, dissension, and mutual animosities throughout Europe and, with the help of her relationship, on other continents." In their refutation, "Dismantling the Big Lie" authors Steven Jacobs and Mark Weitzman say such a goal "is the very antithesis of what both ancient Israelites and contemporary Jews regard as the ideal of societal harmony . . . of attaining "shalom, peace." Jacobs and Weitzman cite moral-ethical examples from Jewish scripture, postbiblical Jewish societies and modern Jewish thought about the primacy of peace between Jews and neighbors ... "Dismantling the Big Lie" (Ktav, $18.95) was developed under the auspices of the Wiesenthal Center's Snider Social Action Institute, named for Philadelphia Flyers and 76ers chairman Ed Snider, who gave the center $5 million. The book reprints eight "Protocols" book covers (all craven images of Jews) from various times and countries, and runs the complete, toxic text, translated into English. "Three to five years ago, we would have had a serious debate about the merits of running the text, but we don't have that choice now," said Rabbi Abraham Cooper, associate dean of the Wiesenthal Center. "It's out there so much now, repackaged, online." Though some booksellers refuse to handle "The Protocols," it is readily available in many parts of the world and through e-commerce. Arabic translations are published by government presses in Egypt and are best-sellers. Radioislam.org makes it available in a dozen languages free ... The Wiesenthal Center plans to translate "Dismantling the Big Lie" into Arabic, German, French, Spanish, Russian and Persian, Cooper said, and to distribute it to church and government officials at a conference that will be held in Moscow in March to mark the centennial of "The "Protocols' emergence."

Question: In your opinion, are the Jews responsible for the new Antisemitism?,
Tikkun
"Rabbi [Michael] Lerner's Answer: No oppressed group is ever repsonsible for the racism that comes their way. Racism is always wrong—it targets everyone in a group for the offenses (real or alleged) of some section of the group. So, no, Jews are not responsible for it. But Jews are responsible for some of the anger that gets directed at Jews TO THE EXTENT (and only to that extent) that we allow the Jewish leadership in both the US and Israel to portray Israel as acting in the name of the Jewish people and as pursuing policies that are supported by the entire Jewish people. Since those policies are rightfully critiqued and rightfully generate anger, to the extent that Jews don't disasociate from those policies they rightfully earn some anger (but not the kind of irrational hatred that characterizes anti-Semitism."
[Our short response to Lerner: 1) Jews are not an "oppressed" group. They are the opposite. 2) Being Jewish is an ideology of tribal solidarity. It is verifiably real, and is it is morally legitimate to "target" it for criticism. 3) Anger at Jewish tribalism, hypocrisy, racism, and power is not "racism." It's a form of fraud to say that an objection to endemic Jewish racism and self-obsession is itself "racism." 4) All Jewish studies and surveys show OVERWHELMINGLY DOMINANT support for racist Israel in the Jewish American community. And just because, say, Chaim and Ben-Yamin don't agree with Jewish convention, doesn't mean Chaim and Ben-Yamin protect Jewish convention from critical inquiry. 5) Criticizing Rabbi Lerner and his many dissimulative clones as apologists for Jewish tribalism is not an act of "irrational hatred." 6) Lerner's responses are stupid cliches. They worked for Jewish self-delusion in the past, but times are rapidly changing.]

[God bless the nurse below who told the Jew to shut up and suffer in line LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. Tuck your Holocaust Hero Passport back in your pocket and face life like the rest of the world. Even the political Left (Tikkun is ostensibly a leftist journal) is devoured within by Judeocentric myth and self-delusion. Grounding point/reality check: Jews are responsible for their deeds and actions, THE SAME AS ANYBODY, and it is a rare Jew who comes up out of the ostrich hole to acknowledge this ELEMENTAL FACT. Finding a Jew admitting that Jews are responsible for anything is like stumbling onto a Hailey's Comet MIRACLE! "Anti-Zionism," "Anti-Semitism," or the pure zeal for liberation from the Judeocentric yoke, call it what you want: more and more people are simply tired of the Jewish neurosis-power fulcrum and crawling like worms before Jewish dictate. RESIST JEWISH POWER OVER YOU. Stand up for your own dignity, whoever you are. Point for point, it's time for Ms. Greenspan to realize she can't hide in self-pitying Jewish legend any longer.]
The New Anti-Semitism,
by Miriam Greenspan, Tikkun, November/Decembrer 2003
" Israel has become "the Jew of the world—scorned, scapegoated, demonized, and attacked." The core of her [Phyllis Chesler's] argument is that Jew-hatred, Holocaust denial, and violence against Jews in the Arab and Muslim nations, as well as in Europe, Asia, and the United States, are "symbiotically" nourished by a dogmatic form of anti-Zionism promulgated by students, intellectuals, academics, and progressives. The Palestinian Intifada is suffused with this new anti-Semitism and its supporters around the world are infected with it. In short, the new anti-Semitism is "the last acceptable prejudice" on both the Left and the Right ... Increasingly, Holocaust-denial or worse—blaming the Jews for the Holocaust—is a strong feature of the anti-Zionist onslaught in the Arab and Muslim world, as is the invidious equation of Zionism and Nazism. And most disheartening of all, the confluence of anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism is present in the Palestinian uprising, which is riddled with organized Jew-hatred pumped into the population on a daily basis in schools, mosques, and on the streets. Those of us who have noticed how Leftist statements against Israeli policy easily spill over into a generalized, vitriolic anti-Jewish sentiment, or those who haven't spoken up on listservs, at demonstrations, in academic or feminist forums for fear that raising the issue of anti-Semitism will mark them for attack or shunning, will be grateful to Chesler for this brave book. So will anyone who genuinely wants to understand how and why the new anti-Semitism is taking hold on North American campuses, European streets, Muslim schoolrooms, and in the West Bank and Gaza. While reading it, I experienced two incidents that vividly illustrate two prominent aspects of the new anti-Semitism: Holocaust hostility and anti-Semitism masquerading as anti-Zionism. The first occurred the day I learned that my elderly father had just had a massive heart attack and was lying in a hospital in Queens. Speaking to the I.C.U. nurse, I wanted to let her know that my father would need to be sedated, since being hospitalized caused him to relive his Holocaust trauma. I got as far as "You need to know that my father is a Holocaust survivor …" before she interrupted me, screaming: "So what? Don't talk to me about being a victim and don't expect that you people are going to get any special treatment here." The next day, addressing a group of graduate students about grief, fear, and despair in an age of global threat, I cited Israel/Palestine as an area in which repeated cycles of traumatic grief turned to rageful acts of vengeance that undermined the prospects of peace. A woman approached me at the end of my talk, a palpable hatred radiating from her eyes, and launched into an anti-Israel rant. "The Holocaust justifies absolutely nothing," she spat out (though I hadn't mentioned the Holocaust). "The Jews are not entitled to anger or grief. Only the Palestinians are justified in their anger." Her vaguely threatening last words were: "I hope you get what you deserve for what you're saying." I wondered how a call for mutual compassion could arouse such hate. Both the nurse and the student were enraged by the idea of Jews as Holocaust victims. While the nurse's hostility was a frontal assault, the student's rage erupted in a pseudo-rational political argument, couched in an anti-Zionist "position." I was struck, in both cases, by what Chesler calls the new "permissibility" for remarks of this kind. Increasingly, Jews in the popular imagination have jumped the divide, from post-Holocaust Victims to Jewish/Zionist Villains. And that jump has everything to do with Israel ... It's hard for many Jews, much less gentiles, to define what exactly anti-Semitism is. Except for its most virulent forms e.g. Jew-hating by neo-Nazis, we may wonder if something is truly anti-Semitic, or if Jews are just defensive and paranoid. (A history of genocide will do that to you). What is the relationship between anti-Semitism and Middle East politics? What does it have to do with the establishment of the State of Israel? With the Intifada? The tone of conversations about questions like these easily turns to a hateful war of words that resembles, on a verbal level, the violent clash of Jews and Arabs in Israel and Palestine. Many Leftists cultivate a studied blindness to anti-Semitism around the world and conclude it is largely a thing of the past. Others charge that anyone who raises the flag of anti-Semitism in relation to the Israel/Palestine conflict has the ulterior motive of "silencing" legitimate criticism of Israel. On the other hand, right-wing Jews often take the view that any criticism of Israel is by definition anti-Semitic. There's very little neutral or calm ground here in which to have a reasonable discussion ... Both Michael Lerner and Chesler address the striking fact that old and new Leftists have a history of minimizing and being silent about anti-Semitism, in contrast to loudly condemning racism directed at people of color. The charge of anti-Semitism is often treated like an insult rather than taken seriously as a political criticism, on its own merit. These lapses and silences, for people who are ostensibly champions of the oppressed, can only be explained by irrational bias or emotional blockage ... The hallmark of anti-Semitism is bigotry and hatred. The ideological labels attributed to Jews—Communist, Capitalist, Imperialist, Terrorist, Zionist—are simply ways to paint Jews as the Enemy and thereby contribute to campaigns of hatred around the world that are essentially displacements of fears and legitimate grievances onto history's most popular scapegoat. "The international Jewish conspiracy" lie is paralleled by the idea, popular in Leftist circles, that Jews hold inordinate power in social life. According to this view, Jews, comfortably ensconced in the United States, are a dominant rather than oppressed group; and therefore all talk of anti-Semitism is bogus. Some go further and say that the fabled "monied Jews" are a lobby of power-hungry evildoers who have highjacked American foreign policy on Israel, presumably to keep Israel a stronghold of racist apartheid oppression of Palestinians. What's wrong with this picture?"

[MORE "Holocaust $tudies?" No thanks. Whether 6 Jews were killed by the Nazis, or 6 trillion, it's all become a gigantic world scam to suffocate dissent against Jewish cultural and political hegemony. Jews think their historical suffering is the Chosen Suffering of Human History, others don't bleed as red, and therefore all must genuflect to sacred Israel. Bottom line: IsraHell is an immoral Hellhole, and world Jewish support for it is a moral crime.]
Anti-Semites are using the Holocaust,
By Yehoshua Amishav, Haaretz (Israel), December 29, 2003
"The press briefing held this month by the French government spokesman at the end of the first session of the special Interministerial Committee to Fight Racism and Anti-Semitism included a recommendation to teach more Holocaust studies, as an educational tool to fight this harsh phenomenon. The panel was established to conduct the war against increasing anti-Semitism in France. There seems to be an accepted axiom that historical knowledge of the attempt to wipe the Jewish people off the face of the earth in an unprecedented, orderly, scientific manner, will make those causing the ugly new wave to rethink their behavior. And if not - at least it will encourage those surrounding them, and the governments of countries tainted by anti-Semitism, to confront the anti-Semites. It is very doubtful, however, whether this assessment can pass the test of reality. In effect, the central question is where the greatest danger to Jews in Europe comes from today: from the incidental groups of young people consumed by hatred, who occasionally desecrate a Jewish cemetery, or from the academic and cultural elites, which are well aware of the history of the Old World? The answer would seem to be clear. When Mikis Theodorakis, the creator of the masterpiece "Mauthausen," calls the Jewish people "the root of evil," he isn't doing so from lack of knowledge about the Holocaust. Even an arch-anti-Semite such as the former prime minister of Malaysia, Mahathir Mohammed, didn't deny the Holocaust in his famous speech of incitement; on the contrary, he specifically mentioned it when he pointed out that it didn't prevent Jewish domination of the world. And Portuguese Nobel Prize laureate Jose Saramago knows exactly what Auschwitz was, but that didn't prevent him from saying the abominable things we recall from his last visit to our region. At least in Europe there is no lack of knowledge today about the Holocaust. Many survivors are still with us, a great deal of literature and many museums provide information to anyone who wants it. A European Holocaust remembrance day has been officially declared. And even if it's true that younger generations don't know enough about it, that's a general problem. The dramatic development of the past three years is that blaming Israel, and condemnation of the Jews' support for Israel, are based with increasing frequency on the use of the memory of the Holocaust. It began during the Lebanon War about 20 years ago, until it grew and became a social consensus. Thus, almost any Israeli representative can hear remarks like: "You are doing to the Palestinians what they did to you in the Holocaust." This phenomenon is so widespread that a spokesman for the Israeli embassy in Belgium asked two years ago that Yad Vashem discontinue the ceremonies for honoring the "Righteous of the Nations" (non-Jews who saved Jews during the Holocaust), because at almost every ceremony there was an incident involving such disgraceful comparisons by one of the participants. As for the memory of the Holocaust, clear rules have been set: Supporters of Israel are forbidden to mention it, since it is "a perverse exploitation of the blood of the victims to justify the horrors that Israel is committing," but its enemies are allowed to use it - to beat up on Israel and to prove that the Israeli government is a new Nazi regime. This approach shows just how strong the memory of the Holocaust is in Europe. Were that not the case, there would be no point in the mass marketing of comparisons of the Israelis to the Nazis, who represent absolute evil. As attorney Arno Klarsfeld wrote (Jerusalem Post, December 12) - the moment is fast approaching when the Jews will have to leave Europe or live as "political Marranos." That is the essence of the new anti-Semitism."

[Fine, Neumann makes some headway in the major mass media. But what's especially noteworthy about this piece? The way our social and political world is hewn, you've got to be a Jew to say to get an article like this in the Los Angeles Times, to state the OBVIOUS. A non-Jew doesn't carry as much force because he/she would be shouted down as "anti-Semitic" for writing the article in the first place. Plus, whatever Neumann's politics, he's going to have definite limits to what he can honestly say about Jews at-large (not just "Israel") because he himself is Jewish. The real article we're still waiting to see in the Los Angeles Times is headlined: "The Accusation of Anti-Semitism is Mostly Judeocentric Bullshit." Question for Mr. Neumann: Can any rational person on the planet truly believe there are human beings who have hostility against Jews purely for what Jews "are," and NOT what they DO? (Information about our the Jewish Tribal Review's notorious brush with Mr. Neumann here.)]
There Are Much Larger Threats. Criticism of Israel is not Anti-Semitism,
By MICHAEL NEUMANN, CounterPunch (from Los Angles Times), December 30, 2003
"Jewish and non-Jewish commentators alike have deplored a recent upsurge in anti-Semitism. In Europe, journalist Andrew Sullivan says, "Not since the 1930s has such blithe hatred of Jews gained this much respectability in world opinion." Yet, Jews like myself and the Israeli journalist Ran HaCohen feel quite differently. He writes in Antiwar.com: "It is high time to say it out loud: In the entire course of Jewish history, since the Babylonian exile in the 6th century BC, there has never been an era blessed with less anti-Semitism than ours. There has never been a better time for Jews to live in than our own." Why would a Jew say such a thing? What is anti-Semitism, and how much of a danger is it in the world today? If both sides agree on anything, it's that the definition of "anti-Semitism" has been manipulated for political ends. Leftists accuse ardent Zionists of inflating the definition to include--and discredit--critics of Israel. Zionists accuse the left of deflating the definition to apologize for covert prejudice against Jews. It's a sterile dispute. Even in this age of intellectual property, no one owns the word. But the definitional sparring does have its missteps and dangers. The first tells against deflationists who claim that anti-Semitism is really hatred of Semites (including Arabs), not just Jews. This confuses etymology with meaning. You might as well say that, in reality, lesbians are simply those who live on the Greek island of Lesbos. On the other hand, to inflate the definition by including critics of Israel is, if not exactly incorrect, self-defeating and dangerous. No one can stop you from proclaiming all criticism of Israel anti-Semitic. But that makes anti-Semites out of Nelson Mandela and Bishop Desmond Tutu, not to mention tens of thousands of Jews. What then prevents someone from concluding that anti-Semitism must be, at least in some cases, justifiable, courageous, highly moral? Is this a message any prudent Jew or anti-racist would want to encourage? Similar worries arise when Abraham H. Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League, tells us: "The classic canards of 'Jews control,' 'Jews are responsible' and 'Jews are not loyal' continue to be peddled in America. While anti-Semites have usually been on the fringes of our society, today we find they and their views have made it into the mainstream." Well, it might be anti-Semitic to hold Jews responsible for everything, but it would be bizarre to claim anti-Semitism whenever Jews are held responsible for anything. In a survey conducted by Steven M. Cohen of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, 87% of American Jews said that Jews "have a responsibility to work on behalf of the poor, the oppressed and minority groups"; 92% said that Jews are obliged to help other Jews who are "needy or oppressed." What Foxman calls an anti-Semitic canard is deeply rooted in traditional and contemporary Jewish thought. A Web search will find dozens of rabbis attributing to Jews, generally, not just responsibilities but collective responsibility. We hold groups responsible for things, good and bad, all the time: The Germans started World War II, the French opposed us in Iraq, the British supported us. The strongly pro-Israel columnist Jonathan Rosenblum states, "The Jews have built an advanced, industrial state, while the Palestinians have built nothing." Clearly, it is not just anti-Semites who attribute responsibility to the Jews. And just as clearly, this is neither racist nor to be taken literally. Rosenblum does not mean that every last Jew, including children and the mentally disabled, built that state. He means that most adult Jews made some contribution to it. If so, should definitional inflation be allowed to make anti-Semites out of all those who hold Jews responsible for Israel's actions and character? My childhood, in largely Jewish suburbs of New York and Boston, was full of Israel bond drives and calls to support Israel. Can't Rosenblum say that "the Jews," meaning a substantial majority of adult Jews, have some responsibility for what Israel has become? And can't Amnesty International or Human Rights Watch say that Israel has committed war crimes and violated human rights? One might justly call it dangerous to conclude that Jews, generally, had some responsibility for war crimes and human rights violations. But to call it anti-Semitic seems just as dangerous, because in some loose, though not unreasonable, sense, the conclusion is hard to escape. That's why there are whole Jewish organizations, like Not in My Name, that exist to enable Jews to dissociate themselves from Israel's actions. In short, you can't have it both ways. You can, if you like, inflate the definition of "anti-Semitism" to capture even Jewish political opponents of Israel. But you can't do this and keep "anti-Semitism" as a term of intense moral condemnation. Nor will the inflationary gambit successfully isolate the truly reprehensible anti-Semites. The best way to reserve "anti-Semitism" as a term of condemnation is to define it as hatred of Jews, not for what they do but for what they are. It is to hate them just because they belong to a certain ethnic group. Foxman is right to suggest that you can be an anti-Semite without expressing any racist sentiments: Many anti-Semites confine themselves to expounding false claims about Jewish control. But you can also, without harboring anti-Semitic hate, criticize Israel and even the Jewish community for its failures."

[This is pathetic. This Jewish Bullshit is so transparent and they get away with it every time. The sky is "anti-Semitic," the moon, the woods, mushroom soup, white chickens, air ... Anti-Semitic, all! When is someone in the European Union going to get fed up enough to stop letting the Jewish Lobby use them as a latrine? The European Union is getting pushed around by Jews like a broken baby stroller. The amazing measure of Jewish Power is that everyone is afraid to fight back. Here's what the New York Daily News said about anti-bigot crusader Bronfman in 1998: "Billionaire Edgar Bonfman has campaigned vigorously against anti-Semitism, but the Seagram's chairman saw red when his son wanted to marry a black woman. 'Sherry offered to convert [to Judaism],' wrote Bronfman, 'which, though well intentioned, was not the point.'" [RUSH, p. 14] Bronfman is a moral fraud, Judeocentric bigot, and hypocrite, of the first order. As the head of the World Jewish Congress, he is an icon for the moral farce that is world Jewry. ]
European Commission is anti-semitic, say Jewish groups,
EU Observer, January 5, 2004
"Two of the most important Jewish organisations have accused the European Commission of being anti-semitic. In a guest commentary for the Financial Times, the President of the World Jewish Congress Edgar M. Bronfman and the President of the European Jewish Congress Cobi Benatoff write, "Anti-Semitism can be expressed in two ways: by action and inaction. Remarkably, the European Commission is guilty of both". The writers take the Brussels executive to task both for releasing a poll in November in which Israel was named as the greatest threat to world peace and for censoring a study that reported on the involvement of Muslim minorities in incidents of mounting European anti-semitism. "Both of these actions were politically motivated, demonstrating a failure of will and decency", write Mr Bronfman and Mr Benatoff. "Outside Israel, the majority of the world's violent anti-semitic attacks took place in western Europe. For the EU to hide these facts reeks of intellectual dishonesty and moral treachery". Their strong words come ahead of a meeting in February to discuss anti-semitism in Europe. The meeting was arranged by Commission President Romano Prodi and the World Jewish Congress after the furore caused the publication of the poll last November. The findings revealed that when asked to choose from a list of countries that may be threatening to world peace, 59% of those polled chose Israel. On the list were also North Korea, Iran and the US. Later it was revealed that a report by the EU's own European Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia had been repressed after it found that many of the reported anti-semitic incidents had been carried out by Muslims and pro-Palestinian groups."

[Jews are accusing EVERYONE EVERYWHERE of being "anti-Semites," and this nonsense is sure to backfire in the long run. These censorial Jewish organizations are completely corrupt and are a magnet for anti-Jewish hostility.]
Jewish Group Says European Commission Anti-Semitic,
Reuters, January 2, 2004
"Two Jewish leaders accuse the European Commission of encouraging anti-Semitism by releasing a "flawed" poll accusing Israel of being the greatest threat to world peace and then by failing to release a report on the involvement of Muslin minorities in anti-Semitic incidents. In a piece to be published on Monday in the Financial Times, World Jewish Congress President Edgar Bronfman and European Jewish Congress President Cobi Benatoff said, "Anti-Semitism can be expressed in two ways: by action and inaction. Remarkably, the European Commission is guilty of both. "First, the Commission released a flawed and dangerously inflammatory poll, which purported to name Israel the greatest threat to world peace. Then, it censored a study commissioned by its own Monitoring Center that reported on the involvement of Muslim minorities in incidents of mounting European anti-Semitism. Let us not mince words: both of these actions were politically motivated." The poll, released in November, reported that 59 percent of respondents -- citizens of the European Union-- answered yes when asked if Israel posed a threat to world peace, a higher percentage than those who opted for other countries including North Korean, Libya and Iran. The Commission, an arm of the European Union, disassociated itself from its survey with the EU presidency saying the poll did not reflect the group's position on the Middle East. The World Jewish Congress, which released a copy of Bronfman's and Benatoff's article on Friday, said it was starting a global campaign soon to secure passage of a stand-alone U.N. resolution condemning anti-Semitism. "At the last U.N. General Assembly session, Arab states torpedoed an effort on the part of the Irish to introduce such a resolution, WJC executive vice president Elan Steinberg said, adding that the initial step was to seek the resolution's adoption at a conference of European nations next April.

[Jews despise Jesus and Christianity and always have. But what message do we get from the Toronto Star (from two Presbyterians) for the Christmas season? Protect Jews. AND ISRAEL. We live in an era where people have been largely socialized to believe that Judeocentric power and racism doesn't exist, it never has, and that the fundamental task of the moral human being is to defend ethnocentric Jewry and racist Israel. This is really the lazy man's morality: Defending the powerful doesn't really take much effort. Defending the weak and telling unpopular truths, however, takes COURAGE.]
`Not here, never again' Christian leaders are asking Canadians to take their heads out of the sand, to understand that anti-Semitism occurs in many ways,
by JOHN W. MORDEN AND SANDRA R. DEMSON, Toronto Star, December 218, 2003
"What was this important — even historic — act? An open letter by the national leaders of nine Christian churches in Canada opposing anti-Semitism with the most compelling concepts in the clearest language possible. We think the lack of attention to their open letter is most unfortunate, for their words are well worth hearing, now more than any time in recent history. What's newsworthy about that, some may ask. The truth is that these religious leaders — who represent the majority of Christian Canadians — have been so alarmed by the rising incidence and changing face of anti-Semitism that they believed they had to come together now and call for Canadians to confront anti-Semitism in our midst. Further, they took the step of publicly acknowledging, "With no little shame, the historic burden of persecution which Jews have borne throughout western history, a burden all too often inflicted by Christians ... We challenge all churches ... and people of goodwill to find ways and means to expose and eradicate anti-Semitism within and from Canadian society ... We commit ourselves to demonstrating not only through words but through united action, our determination to confront anti-Semitism on every front." These Christian leaders are asking Canadians to take their heads out of the sand, to understand that anti-Semitism occurs in many ways. This was an extraordinary open letter, not only for its candour in stating the sad anti-Semitic role played at times by Christians, but in reaffirming that Jews and Christians are "children of one God" and "heirs in faith of Abraham and Sarah." In fact, many deeply held convictions of Christian faith groups and of their leaders are not well-known or well-reported in Canada. For example, most Canadians do not think of Christian churches as being anti-Semitic — which, indeed, they are not — but probably do think of them as being not overly concerned with anti-Semitism. This latter categorically corrects that misconception. Just as anti-Semitism has taken on different forms over the centuries, the approach to anti-Semitism by Church leaders has evolved. Today, their outrage arises out of a passion for social justice and fairness that is rooted in their theology. What can Canadians do about anti-Semitism? A great deal, on an individual, day-to-day level ... Wherever there is an opportunity to talk to a Jewish person about their impressions of pressing issues — do it. Old-fashioned listening and learning from each other is the only way to truly become more sensitive to the impact of anti-Semitism on them. The fact that such an open letter even was necessary is a stinging comment on the deplorable rise of anti-Semitism. But, it would be tragically negligent to ignore or downplay this phenomenon and not to recognize that the need still exists for a public statement like that of Church leaders. We sometimes ask ourselves, did we learn nothing from the Holocaust? If that didn't convince humankind of the all too real extreme outcome of anti-Semitism, then what will? Perhaps it is the ability of anti-Semitism to continuously reappear in new forms that insinuate themselves into the times. Today, for instance, anti-Semitism can be masked as "anti-Zionism" or "anti-Israel," which allows odious instincts to be revived. These euphemisms should not be tolerated any more than the more obvious desecrations of Jewish cemeteries and memorials or attacks on synagogues or hate mail on the Internet — they are all equally unacceptable and equally threatening. Just as dangerous is the silence of good people. That is what Canadians can do — not be silent in the face of anti-Semitism. In fact, we believe that standing up and saying, "this is anti-Semitism and it is wrong" is the only true Christian response."

[The Jewish Lobby is so arrogant it is blind. This pompous band of prima donnas is dizzy with Love-Hate for themselves. Jewish identity INVITES hostility and cannot function without it. Jews CREATE "anti-Semitism" at every turn, even in making obnoxious demands about it. These two powerful Jewish scamsters fufill the "anti-Semitic" sterereotype to the max: chutpzah-enflamed hucksters pushing their way through the world and demanding that everyone kiss their rich Jewish asses. And here, ho! The European Union actually has some semblance of morality and self-dignity. Resist the Jewish Steamroller . Don't bend to Jewish neurosis and all its money flying up in your face . Let the Jews have their conference about "anti-Semitism" amidst themselves in one of their nuclear bomb silos in the Israeli desert: their modern temples.]
Prodi suspends anti-Semitism talks,
buy Thomas Fuller, International Herald Tribune, January 6, 2004
"The president of the European Commission, Romano Prodi, angrily suspended a conference on anti-Semitism on Monday and accused two large Jewish groups of working against ‘‘our best and mutual interests.’’ Prodi sent a letter Monday to Cobi Benatoff, president of the European Jewish Congress, and Edgar Bronfman, president of the World Jewish Congress, saying he was ‘‘surprised and shocked’’ by an article the two men had written that accused the European Commission, the European Union’s executive branch, of being anti-Semitic. . ‘‘The attitude you have shown,’’ Prodi said in his letter, which was obtained by the International Herald Tribune, ‘‘goes against our best and mutual interests’’ and ‘‘forces me to suspend the preparations’’ for the seminar. . In their bluntly written article, which appeared in The Financial Times on Monday, Benatoff and Bronfman accused the European Commission of censoring a study about anti-Semitism and issuing a ‘‘a flawed and dangerously inflammatory’’ opinion poll that listed Israel as the biggest threat to world security"... An aide to Prodi, Marco Vignudelli, said in a telephone interview Monday that the conference on anti-Semitism could still take place ‘‘if we are able to solve this misunderstanding.’’ . ‘‘We want to have this meeting,’’ he said. ‘‘But not at any cost.’’ Vignudelli described Prodi as ‘‘deeply disappointed’’ by the article. ‘‘Then he became angry,’’ Vignudelli said. ‘‘He was really offended.’’ Prodi announced the conference after meeting last month with Jewish leaders, including Benatoff. Prodi implied in the letter that he felt betrayed."

[Straight from the horses' mouthes: the pompous rich Jews speak in smearing all of Europe. What Jews declare to be "anti-Semitism isn't "racism." It is the natural hostility to Jewish power to assert its OWN racism. The "Talmud teaches" racism, xenophobia, Jewish supremacy, and on and on. Billionaire propagandists like Edgar Bronfman know this. Jews are "denounced generally" in Europe because Jews "generally" support racist, brutal Israel. (JTR contributor's comment: 'By the way, Democracies are not judged by how they treat current or future majorities, but by how they treat their minorities'. That goes for Israel as well, right? No?")]
Europe's moral treachery over anti-Semitism,
by Edgar M. Bronfman, Cobi Benatoff, Die Jüdische, January 5, 2004
"Anti-Semitism can be expressed in two ways: by action and inaction. Remarkably, the European Commission is guilty of both. First, the Commission released a flawed and dangerously inflammatory poll, which purported to name Israel as the greatest threat to world peace. Then, it censored a study commissioned by its own Monitoring Centre that reported on the involvement of Muslim minorities in incidents of mounting European anti-Semitism. Let us not mince words: both of these actions were politically motivated, demonstrating a failure of will and decency. Facts indeed are stubborn things and they are ignored at great peril. In this instance, those placed in greatest danger are not the obstructionists who withheld the study for nearly a year, but the Jews of Europe: witnesses and victims of the most barbaric act of slaughter and inhumanity to occur within the living memory of those who reside there. Inaction must be countered by action, and transparency must be the hallmark of democratic institutions, which is why we made public the Monitoring Centre report. The Talmud teaches that silence implies agreement and that is why we will not rest until every European parliamentarian, member state and inter-governmental body has a copy of this report in their hands. The significance of this study is clear to anyone who reads it. Just consider its most fundamental finding, that "one cannot deny that there exists a close link between the increase of anti-Semitism and the escalation of the Middle East conflict". The report explains that Israel's policies toward the Palestinians provide an excuse to "denounce Jews generally" throughout Europe. The report correctly assesses that "factors which usually determine the frequency of anti-Semitic incidents . . . such as the strength and the degree of mobilisation extremist far right parties and groups can generate, have not played the decisive role" in the spread of anti-Semitic incidents since the beginning of the second intifada. The study found that anti-Semitic incidents in the monitoring period were committed above all by rightwing extremists, radical Islamists, young Muslims and the pro-Palestinian left. It points out that "the dominating assumption of contemporary anti-Semitism is still that of a Jewish world conspiracy" ... The war on anti-Semitism, the world's oldest form of racism, suffered a tremendous defeat at the hands of European censors. Europe perfected anti-Semitism last century and those who wish to see the continent free from that evil cannot allow a few thugs, be they on the street or in parliament, to sully a people that needs no lesson in the history of appeasement and inaction. Democracies are not judged by how they treat current or future majorities, but by how they treat their minorities. A major test of European attitudes will occur next month at a seminar to be jointly convened by Romano Prodi, Commission president, and the European Jewish Congress, which will confront the challenge of the continent's anti-Semitism. We await its results. European nations were once the world's exporter of democratic values, patrons of human rights and founders of man's freedom. In our lifetime, Europe also bred and exported humanity's greatest evil. These are undeniable truths. At a time when Europe is debating whether its constitution should make reference to its Christian history, it may not be inappropriate to quote the New Testament: "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." Europe should heed these words. Edgar M. Bronfman and Cobi Benatoff are presidents respectively of the World Jewish Congress and the European Jewish Congress"

[The National Post is of course controlled by the avidly Zionist Asper family. The Jewish Lobby is trying to create for themselves a worldwide censorial fortress wherein Jews are legally beyond criticism. Criticize Jews? Go to jail. And we know all about Canada's foremost Thought Police: the Canadian Jewish Congress. They're trying to shut down discussion about Jews and Israel in all directions -- here they go after a mosque. We think it's time the public reads what's in the Jewish Talmud, the holy book of so many synagogues. Why is this no less a "hate crime?"]
B.C. Muslim newspaper accused of anti-Semitism. Article blames Jews for 9/11, both world wars, the Great Depression,
by Stewart Bell, National Post, January 7, 2004
"Copies of a B.C. Muslim newspaper have been turned over to the province's hate crimes unit after it published an article accusing "the Jews" of everything from faking the Holocaust to staging the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. The Canadian Jewish Congress made a complaint seeking a criminal investigation into what it called "a virulently anti-Semitic article" published in The Miracle, a weekly newspaper distributed in mosques in B.C.'s Lower Mainland. The edition of the paper featuring the page-long list of misdeeds it says were committed by Jews also includes a column penned by Liberal Senator Mobina Jaffer and an advertisement by the local Liberal MP, Joe Peschisolido. "It isn't Arabs lying about and guilt-tripping us with 'the holocaust' -- it is Jews," the article reads. "It wasn't Arabs who caused the Great Depression -- it was Jews. It wasn't Arabs who started WWI -- it was Jews. It wasn't Arabs who started WWII -- it was Jews." The Dec. 19 article by Edgar Steele of Idaho goes on to blame Jews for 81 other items, ranging from pedophilia and organized crime to "race-mixing," militant feminism and "forcing us to allow homosexuals to lead Boy Scout troops." "It is appalling to see that a Canadian newspaper would even consider printing an article by Mr. Steele, whose earlier works include, In Defence of Racism, a venomous piece on the purported intellectual inferiority of black people and their 'propensity for violence and primal satisfaction,' and 'It's the Jews, Stupid' a particularly noxious treatise blaming the Jews for all things nefarious past, present and future," said Keith Landy, the president of the Canadian Jewish Congress. The Miracle, published in Delta, B.C., with a circulation of about 2,500, says on its editorial page it is dedicated to "Islamic brotherhood" and bringing "harmony amongst all Muslim and other communities." Chief editor Nusrat Hussain said he had no regrets about publishing the rant against Jews. "We try to keep freedom of speech and not necessarily that we agree with the article and that is what Canada is about." The latest edition claims the capture of Saddam Hussein was a hoax. "We are truly disgusted to see this racist trash appearing in a local newspaper that claims to cater to a particular faith community," said Nisson Goldman, a spokesman for the Jewish congress. "This article trots out all of the typical anti-Semitic lies familiar to Nazis and white supremacists and invents a few more."
