Martha Stewart may not like you,
yada yada yada blog (Jewsweek), October 24, 2003
"Martha Stewart's legal troubles don't seem to be getting any better. She was hit with a barrage of lawsuits recently, one of which was a religious discrimination suit filed by an irate Jewish former employee who claims he was wrongfully terminated. Avner Elizarov, a software employee who joined Martha Stewart Omnimedia in June 2002, began running into problems when he became more religiously observant and began wearing a yarmulke. The suit says his supervisor started making "anti-Semitic remarks to him." It claims the situation worsened when Elizarov asked to take vacation time during Passover and his boss told him "Jewish people like to stay home and do nothing ... I would like to give you [a] vacation for the rest of your life." A vacation? Anyone who's celebrated Passover knows it's no vacation."

[Smearing critics of Jewish racism, neurosis, and power as "anti-Semites" is both a Jewish cottage industry and pillar of the community. Calling the Jewish American community "oppressed" is like trying to stuff a hippopotamus into an ant hill. And "embracing Jews" takes no moral effort whatsoever because the rewards for those who kiss Jewish Butt are so omnipresent. "Embracing Jews" is like embracing your wallet.]
Allies against anti-Semitism. Jews, others parley over prejudice on the left,
by Alexandra J. Wall, Jewish News Weekly, August 27, 2004
"Cherie Brown was a college student at UCLA in the ’60s, when ethnocentric pride was in vogue. As the progressive Jewish activist went knocking on doors of the various ethnic organizations, trying to build alliances, doors slammed in her face. “I am here because I’m committed to ending racism, but anti-Jewish oppression diverts this work over and over again,” said Brown. A longtime activist in the progressive Jewish community, Brown relayed those thoughts to about 300 people gathered in a conference room at the Oakland Marriott on Saturday afternoon, as part of the opening panel for “Facing a Challenge Within: A Progressive Scholars’ and Activists’ Conference on Anti-Semitism and the Left.” The three-day conference, organized by Judy Andreas of Richmond, a non-Jew who is writing a dissertation on the topic, brought together a diverse crowd of concerned activists, both Jewish and not. For example, Victor Lewis, a dreadlocked African American who identified as a “pro-Semite, shamefaced Judeophile,” said even though he was raised in the black underclass, he identified with Jews as “hyper-intellectual,” and “hyper-literate.” Lewis made the point that because views about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are so polarized, most people have compassion only for one side. “If this is true, there is no hope for the human family,” he said. Gina Waldman, a Tiburon resident who co-founded JIMENA, Jews Indigenous to the Middle East and North Africa, had the audience saying one of her frequently repeated lines: “Hate is a weapon of mass destruction.” Andreas decided to organize such a conference when she got a difficult time from her own academic institution over her plan to do her doctoral thesis on anti-Semitism on the left. After overcoming several hurdles, she is currently in the middle of the dissertation. If Andreas thought the conference was necessary, so did the many attendees, who came from diverse parts of the country. Lucia Jimeno, a Latina from Brooklyn, N.Y., works for a New York-based national organization called GLSEN, the Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network. “As progressive and as forwardly thinking individuals, a lot of times we don’t make the connection between anti-Semitism and other forms of oppression,” Jimeno said. Eryn Kalish, president of the Compassionate Listening Project, which brings delegations of people to the Middle East to hear views from all sides of the conflict, came from Seattle to conduct two workshops. Kalish had to serve as a mediator at times when things got heated. “I’ve been saying since the last intifada that the world needs to embrace both peoples rather than rejecting either,” said Kalish, adding that attending the conference “was one of the ways people who were not Jewish were coming forward to embrace Jews.” While there were some difficult moments at the conference, two women who participated in a panel called “Bridging Mainstream Jewish Groups and Jewish Activists” had positive things to say. “What the left has to offer is process, and the level of dialogue and manner in which people handled really difficult subjects was really impressive,” said Rachel Canar, associate director of the regional office of the New Israel Fund. And Abby Michelson Porth, who as associate director of the S.F.-based Jewish Community Relations Council, had the difficult task of representing the mainstream Jewish community at the conference, was asked some tough questions, but she was still upbeat about what she saw. “As moved as I was by Judy’s initiative and motivation and compassion and hard work, I was equally moved that there are so many Jewish progressives who want to play a part in eliminating anti-Semitism from leftist activism,” Porth said."

[There's lots of Jews "crying wolf" lately (note also the Jew who burned down a Jewish soup kitchen in France, garnering the same kind of Jewish communal breast-beating about resurgent "anti-Semitism"). This criminal here, Kerri Dunn, so eager to cash in on "anti-Semitism" to fuel her academic career, was a recent convert to Judaism.]
Hate-crime hoax perpetrator found guilty,
Jewish News Weekly, August 27, 2004
"A California jury found a psychology professor guilty of perpetrating a hate-crime hoax by vandalizing her own car with racist and anti-Semitic graffiti. On Aug. 19, a Los Angeles County Superior Court jury in Pomona found Kerri Dunn, then an assistant visiting professor at Claremont McKenna College, guilty of filing a false police report and attempted insurance fraud, which is punishable by up to 3½ years in prison. When the apparent hate crime was initially reported on March 9, the Claremont McKenna campus and Jewish communities reacted with outrage, staging day-long sit-ins, teach-ins, forums and rallies. During the trial, the jury was not asked to decide whether Dunn had vandalized her own car, but rather if she had filed false reports with the police and her insurance company. After the guilty verdict, Gary Lincenberg, Dunn’s attorney, said that he intended to appeal the verdict because the judge had barred crucial evidence. Sentencing is set for Sept. 17. As student president of the Hillel Council, D’ror Chankin-Gould, 20, had been one of the organizers of the early anti-racism protests. Dunn’s conviction, he said, “doesn’t change the fact that we did the right thing. We responded vigorously to an anti-Semitic slur and we can be proud of that.” Amanda Susskind, the regional Anti-Defamation League director, noted that “Fake hate crimes undercut what we do, they represent a kind of secondary victimization. We did get some letters saying, ‘You Jews made it all up.’"

[Is telling the truth "anti-Semitism?" Apparently yes. Here's yet another in the endless parade of irrational "anti-Semites" -- this one from Greece.]
The Jewish problem, according to Theodorakis,
By Ari Shavit, Haaretz (Israel), August 30, 2004
[Interview with famed Greek composer Mikis Theodorakis] "Question: Mr. Theodorakis, on November 4, 2003 you said in this house the words that shocked Jews and non-Jews across the world. You said that the Jewish people are at the root of evil. What did you mean? Answer: "For me the root of evil today is the policy of President Bush. It is a fascist policy. I cannot understand how is it that the Jewish people, who have been the victims of Nazism, can support such a fascist policy. No other people in the world support those policies but Israel! This situation saddens me. I am a friend of Israel. I am a friend of the Jewish people. But the policy of Sharon and the support for the policy of Bush darkens the image of Israel. I am afraid that Sharon is going to lead the Jews - just as Hitler led the Germans - to the root of evil." Even today, 10 months later, you don't think you made a mistake when you uttered those words? "No, but it's important for me to emphasize that I never said that the Jews are the root of evil. I said they are at the root of evil." So you have no regrets? "No. And I was very much hurt by the Jewish reaction to what I said. It was not a civilized reaction. I got hundreds and hundreds of poisonous e-mails from Jews all over the world. I couldn't understand this hatred toward me. I fought against racism all my life. I was for Israel. I wrote "Mauthausen." After all that, how could I become from one day to the next an anti-Semite?" Let me explain to you the context for this reaction. Many Jews have a renewed fear of Europe. We are afraid that there is a new kind of anti-Semitism in Europe. So when you said what you said there was a feeling of thou too, Brutus. There was a feeling that even our old friend Theodorakis turned against us. "I don't believe there is anti-Semitism in Europe. There is a reaction against the policy of Sharon and Bush. I think it's artificial to think there is a new anti-Semitism. It's an excuse. It's a way to avoid self-criticism. Rather than ask themselves what is wrong with the policy of Israel, Jews say the Europeans are against us because of the new anti-Semitism. Because they don't love us. And even Theodorakis says we are at the root of evil. This is a sick reaction." Why? In what way is it a sick reaction? "Because this kind of reaction is relevant to the psychopathology of the Jewish people. They want to feel victims. They want to have this comforting feeling. We are in the right, we are again victims. Let's create another ghetto. It's a masochistic reaction." The Jews are masochists? "There is psychological masochism in the Jewish tradition." Is there sadism as well? "I'm certain that when Diaspora Jews talk among themselves, they feel satisfied. They feel that now, when we are so close to the greatest power in the world, no one can do anything to us. We can do whatever we like. This is why the claim of new anti-Semitism is not only a sick reaction, it's a sly reaction as well." In what way is it sly? "Because it really allows the Jews to do whatever they want. Not only psychologically, but also politically, it gives the Jews an excuse. The sense of victimhood. It gives them a license to hide the truth. There is no Jewish problem in Europe today. There is no anti-Semitism" ... Do you think the Jews are fanatic? "Something that is very negative can also be positive. If the Jews didn't have fanaticism, they wouldn't have existed. There is no evil without good. The Jews need this fanaticism. What one might call Jewish fanaticism has more to do with self-defense. It was through their religion that Jews were interconnected and kept together." You seem to be fascinated by the Jews. Why? "To be a community that disregards all dangers and remains true to its origins - that's a mystery. Look at France, for example. There is a huge community of Jews in France where there is a great civilization. But do the Jews become French? No. They speak the French language perfectly. They succeed in their work. But they are not French. They always think of going back to Jerusalem." So there is something unique about the Jewish way of existence? "It's a metaphysical phenomenon. It cannot be explained." In your opinion, what is it that holds us Jews together? "It is the feeling that you are the children of God. That you are chosen." Do you think Jews have a feeling of superiority because of this intimate relationship with God? "There is that element too. Not all Jews have it. But very religious Jews do." Is there something a bit arrogant and aggressive about the Jews? "Yes." Do you see in Sharon's Israel an expression of that element of the Jewish psyche? "No, I wouldn't say that. But this question of superiority is not just a feeling. Because in the Jews' battle for self-defense they became distinguished. There are 200 Jews who won Nobel prizes. Christ, Marx and Einstein were Jewish. The Jews offered so much to science, art and music. They hold world finance in their hands. So it's only natural that they would see themselves as very strong. This gives them a feeling of superiority." The Jews have international finance in their hands? "They control a great deal of the world's finances." So today's globalized capitalism is controlled very much by the Jews? "Since we speak frankly, I will tell you something else. The Jewish people control most of the big symphonic orchestras in the world. When I wrote the Palestinian national anthem, the Boston Symphony was planning a production of my work. It is controlled by Jewish people. They didn't allow the concert to go on. Since then I cannot work with any great orchestra. They refuse me." You ran into this problem with other orchestras too? "Wherever there are Jews. Wherever there are orchestras controlled by Jewish people, they boycott my work." You really feel Jews control much of the music world? "Yes." And the same applies to world finance? "In America the Jewish community is very strong. It controls much of the economy. Certainly the mass media. "Let me make myself clear: When the State of Israel was established, we were on the side of Israel. There was great sympathy toward Zionism because of what they suffered in the war. This is one side of the Jews. But the international Jewish community is also a negative phenomena. The Jewish people now appear to control the big banks. And often the governments. So whatever bad or evil comes from the governments, it's natural for ordinary people to associate that with the Jewish people." You yourself think that the Jews, the international Jewish community, have control of the banks, Wall Street, the mass media? "Yes." And you say that now, through its influence on Bush, it has control of world affairs? "Yes." What is the Jewish influence on the Bush policy? "I believe that the war in Iraq and the aggressive attitude toward Iran is greatly influenced by the Israeli secret services." The Jews have so much power that they can direct the policy of the world's only superpower? "There is a group of Jews who surround Bush and control the policy of the United States." So the Jews pull the strings behind Bush? "No. They are in the front." America, the great superpower, is actually controlled today by the Jews? "Yes." What are the intentions of the Jews who control President Bush? "The main front is the Arabs. They believe that by hitting the Arabs they could help Israel survive. They give a military solution to the problem of the future existence of Israel."

[Yes! Censor Theodorakis! Ban him. He tells too much truth about the Jewish Lobby and must be stopped. Toxified.]
ADL irked by prize for Theodorakis,
By HILARY LEILA KRIEGER, Jerusalem Post, September 2, 2004
"The International Olympic Committee's decision to award controversial Greek composer Mikis Theodorakis the Olympiart prize this week has provoked outrage from some corners of the Jewish community. "It is incomprehensible that the International Olympic Committee has conferred a prize that recognizes values of harmony and peace on an unrepentant anti-Semite who makes no apologies for his views," declared Abraham H. Foxman, the national director of the Anti-Defamation League. "The awarding of the Olympiart Prize to Mikis Theodorakis is contrary to the Olympic spirit of peace, freedom, understanding, and equality among nations." Theodorakis, a Greek music icon best known internationally for his score for Zorba the Greek and The Ballad of Mauthausen, has described Jews as "at the root of evil." In an interview last week, he accused Jews of controlling much of the world's finances and politics, and compared Israeli policy to that of the Nazis. In the same interview, he termed himself "a true friend of the Jewish people." The IOC granted Theodorakis the Olympiart "as a man who symbolizes the spirit of the country of origin of the Olympic Games, as a man of peace who has never ceased to fight for freedom, and as a man of culture who has brought Greek music to the stage of the entire world for four decades," according to the IOC Web site."

Jew may have torched Paris soup kitchen,
By Amiram Barkat and Daniel Ben Simon, Haaretz (Israel), August 31, 2004
"A 50-year-old Jewish man appears to have been behind the torching of the Jewish community center in Paris some 10 days ago, French police have confirmed. The man, whose first name, Raphael, was released for publication, was arrested yesterday. According to French police sources, Raphael was a regular visitor to the community center's soup kitchen, and is believed to have set fire to the building in the wake of a dispute with the people who run it. The man has not confessed to the arson, but the police investigation has turned up considerable evidence tying him to the incident. Jewish community leaders in France reacted with anger and embarrassment following the latest revelations about the fire. If the police suspicions prove true, the affair will mark the second time in two months that an incident labeled as anti-Semitic and covered widely in the media has turned out to be motivated by other factors entirely. The first incident involved a non-Jewish Parisian woman who claimed to have been assaulted by six North African immigrants on a train, but later confessed to have fabricated the story. French government sources and Jewish organizations have yet to comment officially on the affair, and are waiting for a public announcement from the police. Since the story broke, however, France's Jews have been beside themselves with shame, with some calling Jewish radio stations yesterday to express their frustration. Others have spoken of profound embarrassment in light of the latest development in the fight against anti-Semitism. One radio listener said that in the past he had been afraid of Muslims, but had now decided to be wary of Jews. Another shouted that he was ashamed to show his face in the building in which he lived, noting that after the fire at the community center, his neighbors had visited him to express their disgust at the incident. Little by little, the sense of being the victims that had enveloped the Jews of France is being replaced by the sense that the series of deceptions is threatening to blur the severity of the problem. In particular, the French Jews are concerned that from now, any incident against the Jews will be immediately accompanied by suspicion. Till now, radical Muslim elements have been automatically suspected of any allegedly anti-Semitic incident. Now, the suspicions will be directed against those who have been deemed the principal victims of anti-Semitism, and the public and official outcry against any attack on Jews is expected to weaken ... Now that it appears that a mentally unstable Jewish man was behind the arson attack, the Jewish community is likely to see the sympathy of the French public dwindle. "Don't forget that we are dealing with a community that lives under tension, concern and fear all the time," Henri Cohen Solal, a Jewish psychoanalyst from Paris, told Haaretz yesterday."

[Here's how the above story about an expressly Jewish arson on a Jewish building was initially reported:]
Jews demand more security after Paris attack,
by philip carmel, Jewish News Weekly, August 27, 2004
"Jewish officials in Paris called for increased security measures outside community institutions after a meeting place for elderly Jews was destroyed in an arson attack. Firefighters called out to tackle the blaze early Sunday, Aug. 22, morning at the Judeo-Spanish social center in Paris’ 11th district found the institution gutted, with anti-Semitic slogans and graffiti daubed on refrigerators. The center is housed in a former synagogue once used by Greek and Turkish Jewish immigrants. Since the 1960s, it largely has served as a social club and soup kitchen for elderly people in the neighborhood. The center, on the ground floor of a five-story apartment block, is well known as a Jewish communal institution. Yet it wasn’t permanently guarded and there were no security cameras near the institution, a community security official said. A police night patrol that circulates in the area had passed the building some two hours before the attack but noticed nothing suspicious, he added. The spray-painting of swastikas at the site, as well as the presence of anti-Semitic slogans, appeared initially to indicate a far-right source to the attack. On Monday, Aug. 23, however, a previously unknown group calling itself Partisans for Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for the arson. The claim could not be verified ... French President Jacques Chirac condemned the attack at the Jewish center, assuring the community of “the absolute determination of the public authorities to find the perpetrators of these unacceptable acts.” Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin cut short a visit to his hometown of Poitiers in western France to return to the capital, telling Jewish officials that public prosecutors would demand the maximum 20-year prison sentence for the assailant. Such comments come amid widespread criticism in the Jewish community of what they see as the justice system’s leniency toward acts of anti-Semitism. Speaking on French radio shortly after the arson, Roger Cukierman, president of the CRIF umbrella organization of French Jews, said judges had “created a real feeling of impunity by systematically handing out not guilty verdicts” in recent cases. “This leniency allows anti-Semites from all sides to freely express themselves,” Cukierman said. “Why should they deprive themselves when they’re not risking anything?”

[Yes, yes, of course. Taxpayers the world over should pay for Jewish fortresses in their midsts and all criticism of Jewish racism and power should be categorically forbidden.]
Paris posters condemn anti-Semitism,
[Jewish] Forward, (Breaking News section), September 1, 2004(?)
"More than 1,000 posters denouncing anti-Semitism were plastered on billboards across Paris. The posters are part of a campaign organized by Mayor Bertrand Delanoe to sensitize the city’s residents to the problems of anti-Semitism and intolerance. They will run on all municipal billboards during the first week of the new school year. Plans are also being laid to place the posters around the Parc des Princes Stadium, home to a local soccer team. Last week, Delanoe wrote to school directors in the city, asking them to initiate projects around the same theme. Later this month, the City Council is set to debate a proposal by the mayor to vastly increase security provisions around Jewish institutions."

[World Judeocentric fascism is coming our way. What is an "intentional incitment to hatred or discrimination?" It's whatever the primo discriminator (the Jewish/Zionist Lobby) dictates it to be: particularly, any critical investigation of Jewish tribalism. What is an "anti-Semitic ideology?" What, dear God, is an "anti-Semitic crime on the Internet?" That would be, for starters, asserting the principles of human universalism and defending Palestinian human rights. It would also obviously include the desire to clean the White House of the Zionist rat's nest. Agree? Get ready for a "penalty."
ECRI implores to tackle rise in anti-Semitism,
Jerusalem Post, September 20, 2004
"Europe's top human rights body told governments Monday to urgently counter the rise in anti-Semitic attacks by extending anti-racism legislation and prosecuting perpetrators more vigorously. The European Commission against Racism and Intolerance, which is part of the Council of Europe, called on its 45 member nations to "ensure that criminal law in the field of combating racism covers anti-Semitism." It wants governments to penalize intentional acts of public incitement to violence, hatred or discrimination, public insults and defamation, threats against a person or group, and the expression of anti-Semitic ideologies. It urged member nations to "prosecute people who deny, trivialize or justify the Holocaust," and boost anti-racism education in schools as well as better training for police officers, judges and prosecutors. The report said criminal legislation should also cover anti-Semitic crimes committed on the Internet and on television, "and other modern means of information and communication." The report was drawn up in wake of a rise in attacks on Jews in Europe, which the commission said was partially fueled by the Mideast conflict. It did not lay blame on any group for the attacks, but said "victims of racism and exclusion in some European societies" were "sometimes ... perpetrators of anti-Semitism." It said anti-Semitism was being promoted "openly or in a coded manner" by some political parties and leaders, including mainstream parties. The 16-page report, however, did not cite any examples. The report said it was Europe's "duty to remember the past by remaining vigilant and actively opposing any manifestations of racism, xenophobia, anti-Semitism and intolerance." "Anti-Semitism is not a phenomenon of the past and ... the slogan 'never again' is as relevant today as it was 60 years ago," the commission, based in Strasbourg, France, said in a statement."

[In a just world, every French school would post photographs of massacred Palestinian children in the hallways and rob the Jewish perpetrators of their perpetual Victim Monopoly. But hey. Why not punish unruly students. We think the best way to control school problems is to force students -- eyes propped open with toothpicks a la Clockwork Orange -- to watch the entire NINE HOUR documentary about the Jewish persecution obsessions.]
French Try to Curb Anti-Semitism in Schools,
by Lisa Bryant, Voice of America, 20 Sep 2004,
"In an effort to stem a rising tide of anti-Semitism in public schools, the French government is distributing excerpts of a haunting documentary on the Holocaust to high school classes ... The country has been battling a worrying spike in anti-Semitic acts in recent years, many of them by young people. Tensions are generally highest among Jews and Muslims, in a country which has the largest population of both groups in Western Europe. That's one reason why the French government has decided to distribute copies of the movie Shoah, or the Holocaust, to every public high school in the country. Some of the schools received copies excerpting the more than nine-hour documentary a few years ago. But many teachers reportedly never showed the movie to their students. This time, the government is pushing for all schools to air the documentary, which recounts stark accounts of Holocaust survivors. A preview of the film was shown last week at Sophie-Germain high school. Other schools will soon be getting their own copies of the movie... Sociologist Michel Wieviorka, who has written several books on racism and violence in France, believes [a recent book] exaggerated the problems. But he says many times school administrators don't know how to deal with racial tensions in their classes. And Jewish students, he says, aren't the only victims of discrimination. "As soon as something is said against Jews there will be a great scandal. But there will not be a great scandal if the same thing is said against Arabs," said Mr. Wieviorka. As a result, Mr. Wieviorka says, some Arab students feel they are victims of unequal treatment."

Fischer fears ‘torture and murder’ in US,
by DAVID BAMBER, The Telegraph (India), August 31, 2004
"Bobby Fischer, the American former world chess champion, fears that he will be “tried convicted, sentenced, imprisoned, tortured and murdered” when Japan deports him to America. In a characteristically eccentric interview with a Philippines radio station, Fischer said Japan, his home for the past three years, was guilty of a “vicious betrayal” after he lost his legal battle against deportation last week. He faces a 10-year prison sentence in the United States for violating international sanctions in 1992 by playing a chess game in the former Yugoslavia against his long-time Russian rival, Boris Spassky. Fischer, 61, has been held in a Tokyo jail for six weeks after immigration officers at Narita airport seized his passport, which had been revoked by the US authorities. “They are preparing to deport me to the US to be murdered,” Fischer told Bombo Radyo in a rambling telephone interview. “`They stabbed me in the back. “I spent $350,000 here in Japan. I gave them my time, I gave them my money, spent a fortune going to Japanese mineral baths. But just one call from the US embassy and they are sending me to prison in the US to die.” Fischer believes that he is being persecuted on political grounds. He is renowned for his virulent anti-Semitic and anti-American outbursts, most notoriously praising the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington on the evening of September 11, 2001. Despite his views, he still has many supporters. Spassky recently wrote to President George W Bush to plead on his old foe’s behalf."

King's Gambit. How chess maestro Bobby Fischer turned fugitive and ended up in a Japanese detention cell,
By Jim Frederick, TIME Asia Magazine, Aug. 23, 2004
"To the average lonely heart, Bobby Fischer—erstwhile chess champion, virulent anti-Semite, and fugitive from the U.S. justice system—might not sound like Mr. Right ... After 12 years on the run from charges that he broke U.S. trade regulations, the 61-year-old chess genius is fighting attempts to deport him back to the U.S. after Japanese immigration authorities apprehended him on July 13 for traveling on an allegedly invalid passport. That collaring brought to a close one of the most famous (if not particularly intense) manhunts in recent American history. A prodigy from New York who managed, improbably, to make chess cool, Fischer rocketed to stardom for his aggressive play and flamboyance. In 1972, at the age of 29, he defeated Russian Boris Spassky for the world title in a cold war showdown that made him an American hero. Soon after, however, Fischer's life degenerated from triumph to farce. He joined the fringe Worldwide Church of God, then abruptly left it. He grew increasingly vocal about his anti-Semitic views, despite the fact that his own mother was Jewish. He quit playing competitive chess, and was stripped of his title in 1975 for failing to face challenger Anatoly Karpov. Then, in 1992, Fischer resurfaced to play a rematch with Spassky in Yugoslavia, where Americans were forbidden from doing business because of its government's support of Serbian aggression in Bosnia. At a press conference before the match, Fischer spat on a letter from the U.S. Treasury Department telling him not to play. He beat Spassky and pocketed a $3.35 million prize, and a U.S. federal warrant was issued for his arrest. Faced with a possible penalty of up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for violating America's economic sanctions, he has never returned to the States. For more than a decade, Fischer crisscrossed the globe, passing through Hungary, Switzerland, Hong Kong, Macau and South Korea. By 2000, Japan and the Philippines had become his primary home bases, and he reportedly reveled in the relative anonymity they afforded him. Yet Fischer never truly went into hiding. He traveled using his real identity and passport, and he twice dared to pass directly under the U.S. government's nose. In 1997, Fischer renewed his passport at the U.S. embassy in Bern, Switzerland, and he returned there in 2003 to get 20 new passport pages. Nor was he shy about using the media to express his views. He made 21 live radio appearances from 1999-2003, mostly in the Philippines. During these spots he would rail against the worldwide Jewish and American conspiracies supposedly out to ruin him, calling the Jews "filthy, lying bastard people" and the U.S. a "brutal, evil dictatorship." When the World Trade Center was destroyed on Sept. 11, 2001, he announced on Philippine radio: "This is wonderful news. I applaud the act ... I want to see the U.S. wiped out."

House panel to hear anti-Semitism bill,
Jewish Telegraphic Agency, [Breaking News] September 27, 2004
"A U.S. House of Representatives’ panel is expected to vote on a bill to enhance federal monitoring of international anti-Semitism. The House International Relations Committee will debate the issue Wednesday, a spokeswoman for Rep. Tom Lantos (D-Calif.) said, and the Global Anti-Semitism Awareness Act is expected to pass the panel and be voted on in the House this fall. The bill would mandate an annual State Department report on anti-Semitic incidents worldwide, and would create a monitoring office within the department. Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.) who had authored similar legislation, signed on to Lantos’ stronger bill last week, and Sen. George Voinovich (R-Ohio), who authored similar legislation that passed the Senate earlier this year, gave vocal support for the stronger provisions as well, Lantos’ spokeswoman said. The State Department opposes the legislation, arguing it already monitors anti-Semitism in other annual reports.

["Being Jewish" is always the neurotic war in the Jewish psyche desribed below. Being Jewish always involves the element of "self-hatred" and one resolves this by either running away (not popular any more) from the oppressive Jewish ideology of chains or diving blindly into it. Jewish "self-hatred" is of course Jewish "anti-Semitism." Both of these center around the recognition that the ideology of Jewish tribalism is shameful, flawed, corrupt, and immoral. The easy way to (superficially) resolve Jewish neurois is climb back on to the neurotic "chosen people" bandwagon and merge one's personal identity with the vast Klan. Kind of like jumping into a river. Traditional Judaism demands an explicitly racial foundation, as noted below : "One can never stop being Jewish." That's what Hitler said, isn't it?

Confessions of a self-hating Jew,
by Leeora Rabinowtiz, Jerusalem Post, October 11, 2004
"Book: Shanda: The Making and Breaking of a Self-Loathing Jew, by Neal Karlen.
From lofty dreams of rabbinical ordination to the depths of Jewish self-hate, Neal Karlen's memoir Shanda: The Making and Breaking of a Self-Loathing Jew, tells the story of one man's struggle to feel comfortable in his own skin. Raised in an observant home in St. Louis Park, Minneapolis, and educated at the local Hebrew school, Karlen once hoped to be a rabbi. He had high hopes of injecting spirit and humor into the dry and parochial Judaism of his youth. By the time he was an adult, however, these childhood dreams had taken a backseat to Karlen's new identity as a self-described "Jewish Uncle Tom' ... Darting from past to present, Karlen reveals his descent into Jewish self-hatred in all of its repugnance. 'Even when I was still a kosher-keeping and religious youth, studying Hebrew and ancient Aramaic harder than anyone I knew, I'd tried to get away from my ancestry and become just an American kid, like Beaver Cleaver or Greg Brady, sit-com fantasies of gentile life, ironically almost always written by first generation Jews..." Though he always admired Jewish outlaws as a youth - brave and masculine exceptions to the stereotype he associated with Jews - such images were not enough to sustain a Jewish identity as an adult. After losing touch with Jewish friends, and distancing himself from parents he considers embarrassing, Karlen is no longer invited to family events. Eventually, he marries a Catholic blonde cheerleader, severing himself from Jewish life entirely, and ensuring his tacit acceptance in white Christian America: the "legitimate residents and owners of this place," Karlen writes, quoting from Portnoy's Complaint. The fate of his marriage is sealed, however, when on his wedding night, the bride's grandfather responds to an anecdote of Karlen's father by saying: "You should have Jewed him down." Worse yet, the bride defends her grandfather's anti-Semitic slur. Shanda, which means "disgrace," is truly an appropriate title for this memoir. Karlen reveals himself at his worst as a Jew: biting into a pork sandwich, courting a gentile woman with anti-Semitic jokes and inciting his non-Jewish friends to speak of Jews derogatorily. So ashamed of his behavior in one instance, he leaves a party vomiting. At midlife, Karlen takes a hard look at himself, only to discover that in truth he belongs nowhere and that the Jew he really hates is himself. A fateful run-in with Manis Friedman, a childhood rabbi and renowned hassidic scholar, turns out to be his salvation. Initially, Karlen tells the rabbi that he is no longer Jewish. Friedman coolly responds by recounting a lesson from the late rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, who believed that one can never stop being Jewish. [Q:]In the beginning of Shanda, you describe your desire to emulate Jewish outlaws. Who are these outlaws and why were you attracted to them? [Karlen:] Some were political [outlaws] and some were actually Jewish gangsters. Meyer Lansky was kicked out of Israel in the 1970s and for the last 40 years Jewish gangsters have been shandas [shameful], but now are big heroes. A lot of American Jewish men need to prove their masculinity, and are even jealous of Israeli men. In Israel, you don't have to be this wimpy Jewish guy who is good at math and becomes a doctor... I needed to prove my masculinity by joining the hockey team. My job, as the worst and only Jewish player on the team, was to pick a fight with their best player. I would love having to get off the ice with blood all over my face to show that I was a tough Jew and not a pale shtetl boy."

Israeli writer is Swedish anti-Semite,
Searchlight magazine, May 2004
"Jermas’s [Israel Shamir's] translator in Norway is Hans Olav Brendberg, a teacher, who was recently asked to leave the executive committee of a branch of the Red Electoral Alliance (RV). The left-wing RV, which took 1.2% of the vote in the general election in 2001 and has over 80 local councillors, accused Brendberg of making anti-Jewish statements on the internet and in his work as Jermas’s translator. Brendberg, 35, stirred up controversy after writing articles for the left-wing daily Klassekampen in which he charged the Jews with killing Christ and hating all non-Jews. But it is through the KK-forum, Klassekampen’s semi-official web-based discussion forum, that Brendberg has gained most notoriety for statements such as: “Millions of nice Germans have always existed but not one of them is mentioned in Anne Frank’s Diaries. As for the broader picture: is not the world bigger than the attic of a Dutch city apartment block?” On several occasions, Brendberg has referred to Kevin MacDonald, an extreme right-wing American, as an authority on Jewish matters. MacDonald, a professor at an obscure Californian university, is a white racist, antisemitic, anti-black, anti-left apologist for Hitler’s genocide and an inveterate fascist."

[JTR Contributor's comments about the above article: "I got some additional ifnormation that might be of interest. First of all, except the mentioned authors from Norway - Tor Bach, Sven Johansen and Lise Apfelblum - Stieg Larsson and Daniel Poohl from Sweden have contributed as writers. The Norwegians works for the Leftwing magazine Monitor, the Swedes for the organization Expo. Expo is officially an organization working to monitor “racism, anti-Semitism and rightwing extremism”. In reality, it is primarily an organization working to advance Jewish interests by lashing out on anyone who dear to criticize Jews in any way. The main financiers behind Expo are the troika Robert Weil, Mikael Kamras and Gabriel Urwitz, all of them Jews. Weil is one of the richest men in Sweden and a wheeler-dealer who keeps his business from public insight. He also owns the Jewish Theatre in Sweden. Urwitz runs an investment company and is vice president of the Jewish community in Stockholm. Kamras is on the board of several companies, for instance as President of Elite Hotels and DNB Asset Management, besides being head of the Jewish Museum in Stockholm. Kamras used to be CEO of the investment company Proventus, owned by Weil, but that position is now taken by Daniel Sachs, also Jewish, who before that worked for Urwitz. In other words, the financing of Expo comes from a very close knit group of rich Jews. Expo publishes a magazine that in every issue thanks the ADL for its support. Head of this magazine is Robert Aschberg, a Jew who also controls Strix Television, the largest production company in Sweden. Strix is for instance behind the reality show “Survivor” in the US and “the Farm” in UK, where David Beckham’s alleged mistress Rebecca Loos recently masturbated a boar as part of the “entertainment”. Aschberg is the grandson of the Bolshevik Banker, Olof Aschberg, who funded the communist revolution in Russia 1917. Expo is the organization that tracked Shamir down and then initiated a smear campaign against him, echoed in the article published by Searchlight. The arguments in the article are the usual nonsense from Expo. Professor MacDonald has never asserted what the authors claim he has; the twisted and vile descriptions of him and his work would make Julius Streicher blush. Lars Adelskogh is not “a leading figure in the Swedish UFO movement”; although this 54-year-old for a short time did have an interest in UFOs in his youth as far as I know. Further, Adelskogh is a translator by profession, why it isn’t very remarkable that he has translated a book by Shamir. The mentioning of UFOs is an obvious attempt to ridicule both Adelskogh and Shamir, as is the mentioning of how Shamir “made the laughable claim […] that many Jews received text messages warning them to get out of the World Trade Centre in New York before the terror attacks of 11 September.” What isn’t mentioned is that this “laughable claim” also was made by Israeli daily newspaper Ha’aretz among others. I haven’t seen the actual messages and thus cannot form an opinion whether it was a mere coincidence, or if it indeed was a warning to make Jews leave the twin towers. However, that at least two Israelis did receive text messages about an attack seems to be beyond any doubt. Anyway, the most revealing in all this is that neither Expo nor any other group discusses what Shamir actually writes about. They brand him as an "anti-Semite” and tries to ridicule him by making allegations that at best are partly true. Nothing is said about what’s makes him “anti-Semitic”. There is nothing substantial in this criticism, and that makes the article a proto-typical example of the tactics used to silence anyone who dares to discuss uncomfortable facts about Jews."]

Welcome to World Jewish Censorial Fascism. Jewish Money calls the shots. Jewish Money runs U.S. Foreign Policy. Jewish Money runs Congress. Jewish Money props up its "multi-faith toadies. Jewish Money says Jews need special treatment because they're unique. Jewish Money says if you complain about any of this, you're an "anti-Semite" and it's time to start spying on you. Jewish Money renders the world of justice and democracy a total farce. The Jewish Lobby always puts it this way: "Think about it. First they came for the Jews, then Gypsies, the Unions, etc. etc. and when they came for me there was nobody left to stand up against injustice." We are witnessing the same thing in a different direction: Jewish-demanded erosion of the basic human right to criticize injustice -- including distinctly Jewish injustice and Israeli injustice.]
Congress Passes Lantos's Antisemitism Bill,
U.S. Newswire, October 11, 2004
"Both houses of Congress have unanimously passed legislation requiring the U.S. to monitor anti-Semitism around the world, despite the State Department's opposition. The bill, known as the Global Anti-Semitism Awareness Act (H.R. 4230), was introduced by Congressman Tom Lantos (D-Calif.), in response to the rising tide of anti-Semitism in Europe and the Middle East. Lantos is the only Holocaust survivor serving in the Congress. The bill requires the State Department to compile an annual report on anti-Semitism around the world, and establishes an office within the department to focus on the issue. The State Department at first stalled the bill, by arguing that Lantos's proposal would "extend exclusive status to one religious or ethnic group." But the legislation moved forward in recent weeks after the David S. Wyman Institute for Holocaust Studies and former Congressman Stephen Solarz organized more than 100 prominent Americans to sign a letter to Secretary of State Colin Powell, protesting the State Department's position. As the San Francisco Chronicle reported: "One key to advancing Lantos' bill may have been the surprise intervention of the David S. Wyman Institute for Holocaust Studies. The Pennsylvania-based organization, named for a historian who has written about the West's response to the Holocaust, organized an open letter to Powell signed by 104 prominent Americans. They included former Republican vice presidential nominee Jack Kemp, former United Nations ambassador Jeanne Kirkpatrick, ex-CIA director James Woolsey and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Garry Wills. 'I was delighted and totally surprised by this bipartisan, multi-faith group,' said Lantos. The letter was signed by prominent Americans from across the spectrum of the religious, political, academic and entertainment worlds. In addition to Kemp and Kirkpatrick, the signatories included former National Security Advisor Anthony Lake, singers Janis Ian and Peter Himmelman, comedian David Brenner, former State Department Legal Advisor Abraham Sofaer, writers Cynthia Ozick and Thane Rosenbaum, and leaders of four top Christian religious seminaries: the Union Theological Seminary, Yale Divinity School, Drew Theological Seminary and Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary ...

NCSJ: Congress Adds Stronger State Department Focus on Anti- Semitism,
U.S. Newswire, October 11, 2004
"NCSJ welcomed final Congressional passage of a bill that requires the U.S. State Department to report on global anti-Semitism and designates a U.S. special envoy to promote monitoring and combating of anti- Semitism worldwide ... In addition to the reporting requirements, the version passed last week by the House of Representatives includes additional measures such as establishment of a State Department office and envoy for monitoring and combating anti- Semitism ... "In the past few months," NCSJ President Joel M. Schindler noted, "NCSJ has been fortunate to testify on this issue before both the Senate and House committees and the Helsinki Commission, using each hearing to strongly support this initiative. We have also reached out to our partners in the State Department to discuss how these new tools could be employed. At every level, the State Department is a catalyst for European governments to combat anti-Semitism, and Congress has now provided new avenues for this mission." Testifying in the House of Representatives last week, prior to the House and Senate votes, NCSJ Executive Director Mark B. Levin said the robust reporting will "measure consistently which countries are contributing to the problem and which are contributing to the solution, domestically as well as in such international fora as the United Nations and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). Additionally, while the OSCE waits for many of its member states to meet their obligations to supply data on anti-Semitism and efforts to combat it in their own countries, a U.S. global review provides an initial read-out of such data worldwide." Levin is currently in Warsaw as a Public Member of the U.S. delegation to the annual OSCE review conference on human rights. In that capacity, he will address the 55 member governments, supporting an OSCE special representative on anti-Semitism, a clear agenda for next year's OSCE anti-Semitism follow-up conference in Spain, and full funding and cooperation in the OSCE's collection of data on anti-Semitic and other hate crimes ... According to Dr. Meth, "Designating an office and envoy will enhance the existing mandate of the State Department's Office of Holocaust Issues, which has been the quarterback in Washington for U.S. policy on global anti-Semitism, working closely with the U.S. Mission to the OSCE in Vienna." NCSJ: Advocates on behalf of Jews in Russia, Ukraine, the Baltic States & Eurasia - a voluntary, non-profit agency created in 1971 - is the mandated central coordinating agency of the organized American Jewish community for policy and activities on behalf of the estimated 1.5 million Jews in the former Soviet Union. NCSJ comprises nearly 50 national organizations and over 300 local federations, community councils and committees across the United States."

["Anti-Semitic stereotypes?" Jews are destroying America's relations with the rest of the world. This article makes it very clear: Jews run America. Congress is afraid of them. The stranglehold the Jewish Lobby has on American foreign policy is beyond belief. Now everyone on Earth must pay homage to the Jewish Caesar that runs the Super Power Throne from behind the Wizard of Oz curtain. Imagine if another country had such a stupid policy with America: its relations with the U.S. were founded on how it treated Jews! Wake up, American people! Take back the country that has been stolen from you. Open your eyes one time. Jews run the United States and seek to spread wider apartheid Israel at the expense of American blood and money. It is as clear as the blue Star of David stamped on your forehead. Look in the mirror. How did it get there? Did you vote for it?

US to rate its allies on their treatment of Jews,
By David Rennie, Telegraph (UK), October 13, 2004
"In another test of America's frayed relations with France, Russia and other allies, the US Congress has ordered the State Department to start rating governments throughout the world on their treatment of Jewish citizens. The resulting report cards on anti-Semitism would be published in annual US surveys of human rights abuses around the world. The proposed law was passed by the House of Representatives on Monday, in response to what its sponsors called an alarming surge in anti-Semitism, especially in Europe. It has already been passed by the Senate. Congress overruled strong opposition from diplomats at the State Department who complained in an internal memo that a special focus on Judaism, "opens us to charges of favouritism and challenges the credibility of our reporting". There is little doubt that the new law will create diplomatic waves. France, Russia, Malaysia, Egypt, Canada and Australia were singled out by congressional sponsors of the law as countries that had witnessed disturbing outbreaks of discrimination against Jews in the past year. The law, the Global Anti-Semitism Review Act, also ordered the establishment of an office at the State Department dedicated to monitoring anti-Semitism, again over the department's protests. The resulting internal row must now be resolved by President George W Bush as the legislation heads to his desk from Congress. With the act overwhelmingly backed by both parties, officials in Congress said they expected he would sign it into law. A three-page State Department memorandum, leaked to The Telegraph yesterday, complained that congressional plans would throw US human rights reporting "out of balance", and "erode our credibility by being interpreted as favouritism in human rights reporting". In a sign of the diplomatic anxieties, the State Department argued for anti-Semitism monitoring to remain a task conducted behind closed doors, by the department's existing "special envoy for holocaust issues" ... Tom Lantos, a California Democrat and Holocaust survivor who was one of the sponsors, denounced State Department talk of "favouritism" as an alarming nod to "the worst stereotypes of Jews perpetrated in anti-Semitic tracts throughout modern history".

Antisemitism Eventually Hits Everyone,
By Irwin N. Graulich, American Daily, (10/06/04)
"It only begins with the Jews. Jew-Hatred should be a wake up call for all decent human beings of every religion and no religion. Hitler's initial target was indeed, the Jews. But that was only the beginning of his plan. He invaded Czechoslovakia, France, England and would have eventually progressed to the rest of humanity. Attention planet earth! Antisemitism is not exclusively a Jewish problem, because it never ends with only Jews. The latest example of this phenomenon is the Arab and Muslim world, which has despised Israel since 1948. Anti-Israel and antisemitism are virtually synonymous terms. However, this time, the antisemitic cancer has metastasized further than previous masses, growing into anti-American and anti-Western tumors. The hatred of a tiny Jewish state should have been an early detection warning for the world that this diseased lump would eventually spread. Had the West biopsied the problem immediately, perhaps 1 million black Sudanese Christians would still be alive, and 3000 Americans who perished on 9/11 would continue to hug their children, parents and spouses to this day.What is even more amazing is that Jew-Hatred does not stop with murdering all other groups ... Let the world know, that Jews play the role of miner's canaries for good people everywhere. When there are "noxious moral fumes," the Jews die first. But it does not end there. All innocent people are next in line ... Unfotunately, political correctness has crept into this equation, not permitting world leaders to tell the truth--that the real problem is fundamentalist Islam. To call Islam "a religion of peace," at this time in history is a "fundamental" error of gross proportions. Of course there are some beautiful, kind Muslims, especially in America. However, there were some lovely members of the Nazi party during WWII, and even wonderful Communists during the heyday of the Soviet Union. The bulk of the world's issues with evil today unfortunately fall within one group, and it happens to be a religion. That is the plain and simple truth. Unless leaders like George W. Bush point that out clearly, without fear of offending, Islam will never solve its disastrous problems. Imagine a therapist being "uncomfortable" confronting a patient with their flaws ... Irwin N. Graulich is a well known motivational speaker on morality, ethics, Judaism and politics."

A Letter to Abraham Foxman. Criticizing Israel is Not Anti-Semitism,
by Ralph Nader, CounterPunch, October 16-17
"Dear Mr. Foxman: ... For many years you have eschewed engaging in a dialogue with those in Israel and the United States who disagree with your views. Your mode of operation for years has been to make charges of racism or insinuation of racism designed to slander and evade. Because your pattern of making such charges, carefully calibrated for the occasion but of the same stigmatizing intent, has served to deter critical freedom of speech, you have become sloppy with your characterizations when it comes to attempts to hold you accountable. Of course citizen groups make charges all the time but their critics and corporate adversaries do review and rebut which keeps both sides more alert to accuracy especially when they desire press coverage. Few groups get the free ride that has been the case of the ADL when it ventures beyond its historic mission into covering the Israeli militaristic regime and its brutalization and slaughter of far more innocent Palestinians it occupies, than the reverse casualties inflicted on innocent Israelis.Your insensitivity here is legion. You fail to understand that your studied refusal to reflect the condemnations of Israeli military action and mayhem against civilians, by the great Israeli human rights organization B'tselem and the major international human rights organizations, contributes to the stereotypic bigotry against Palestinian Arabs and the violent Gulag that imprisons them in the West Bank and Gaza. Yours is more than the "crime of silence" so deservedly condemned in other periods of modern history when despots reigned. You go out of your way to silence or chill others who are raising the same points that B'T selem and Rabbis for Justice and other U.S. and Israeli peace groups, such as Rabbi Lerner's Tikkun initiative, do. You are not above twisting words of those you take to task in order to be able to deploy the usual semantic vituperatives. My comments related to the Israeli government with the fifth most powerful and second most modern military machine in the world through its prime minister possessing the role of puppeteer to puppets in the White House and Congress. You distorted the comment into "Jews controlling the U.S. government." Shame on you. You know better. If you do not see the difference between those two designations, you yourself are treading on racist grounds. Indeed, you are too willing to justify any violence against innocent Palestinian children, women and men in the mounting thousands on the grounds of inadvertence and security when such casualties are either direct or foreseeable results of planned military operations. Your refusal to condemn bigoted language, cartoons, articles and statements in Israel up to the highest government levels, can be called serious insensitivity to "the other anti-Semitism." Both Jews and Arabs belong to the ancient Semitic tribes of the Middle East either genealogically or metaphorically. There is, as you know so well, anti-Semitism against Jews in many places in the world. There is, as you always ignore, aggressive anti-Semitism against defenseless Arabs in many places in the world and in Israel whose military might and nuclear weapons could destroy the entire Middle East in a weekend."

Anti-Jewish or anti-Israel? New racism report sparks debate in France,
By Marc Burleigh, Electronic Intifada (Agence France Presse), October 20, 2004
"A new report on racism in France has sparked controversy by recommending anti-Israel acts and comments be punished by courts as severely as instances of anti-Semitism. The 50-page report, released Tuesday, four months after being ordered by Interior Minister Dominique de Villepin, warns that racism of all sorts in France "radically threatens the survival of the democratic system". Its author, award-winning writer, doctor and president of a humanitarian aid association, Jean-Christophe Ruffin, suggested a raft of measures to combat racism and singles out anti-Semitism as a problem to be combatted separately. But one recommendation -- that "unfounded" anti-Israel stances be criminalised to the same extent as anti-Jewish acts -- has stirred debate in France, where media and political commentary is often critical of Israel's treatment of Palestinians. Anti-Israel positions among radical anti-racist campaigners risked "a contamination which could put the lives of our Jewish citizens in danger," Ruffin argued. He suggested a law "to punish those who might level unfounded racism allegations against groups, institutions or states, and use against them unjustified comparisons with apartheid or Nazism." Other recommendations in Ruffin's report included: video surveillance of Jewish cemeteries, clearer statistical databases permitting international comparisons, better national coordination, and heightened vigilance of Internet sites. The study challenged stereotypes that perpetrators of hate-crimes often came from disadvantaged French suburbs predominantly populated by immigrant families from Muslim north African countries such as Algeria and Morocco. "The new anti-Semitism appears more heterogeneous," it said. Anti-racist organisations, while welcoming many of the measures envisioned in the report, turned on the controversial suggestion about assimilating criticism or acts against Israel with anti-Semitism. Ruffin was "acting like an arsonist fireman," the head of France's League of Human Rights, Michel Tuniana, said. He said the focus on anti-Semitism created an "imbalance" in the approach to fighting all racism, and added that, if the recommendation became law, the umbrella groups the International Federation for Human Rights would be punished because it viewed Israel's treatment of Israeli Arabs as "discriminatory". Jewish groups in France, however, supported the recommendation. Ruffin "denounces, very sharply, the anti-Semites who hide behind a sort of anti-Zionism," the head of the Representative Council of Jewish Institutions in France, Haim Musicant, said ... On Wednesday, Israel's ambassador to France, Nissim Zwilli, hailed the report in an interview with Israeli public radio as "exceptional ... because it establishes a direct link between anti-Semitism and the anti-Zionist and hostile positions in Israel."

On Anti-Semitism,
By Gilad Atzmon, Al-Jazeera, October 15, 2004
Editorial Note: Gilad Atzmon published this article first on December 12, 2003. The reason it is republished by Al-Jazeerah today is that it represents an excellent analysis of the Zionist tactic of anti-Semitism, which is used to attack those who criticize the Israeli occupation atrocities in Palestine. It's also relevant to the new law that President Bush signed US To Rate Its Allies On Their Treatment Of Jews.]
"In the light of the growing discussion initiated by Israeli politicians and Zionist enthusiasts regarding the eruption of new anti-Semitism I am here to announce as loudly as I can: there is no anti-Semitism any more. In the devastating reality created by the Jewish state, anti-Semitism has been replaced by political reaction. I am not suggesting that Jewish interests are not being mutilated and vandalized. I am not saying that synagogues aren't being attacked, that Jewish graves are not brutally smashed up. I am saying that these acts, that are in no way legitimate, should be seen as political responses rather than racially motivated acts or 'irrational' hate crimes. If Israel is the state of the Jewish people and the Jewish people themselves do not stand up collectively against the crimes that are committed on their behalf, then every Jewish person, Jewish symbol and Jewish object becomes an Israeli interest and a potential terrorist target. It is up to the Jewish people to take a stand against their Jewish state and to disassociate themselves from their zealous national movement. If, for instance, we woke up tomorrow morning to find that another American so-called 'soft target' had been blown to pieces, no one would think to suggest that it was a 'racially motivated anti-American attack'. We would be naturally inclined to view the incident as an 'act of terror' against 'American interests'. Our political analysts would probably tell us that it was a form of retaliation against 'American colonialism', 'expansionism', 'support of Zionism' and so forth. Since Zionists want Israel to be seen as 'a nation among nations' we should not treat them as a unique case. We should treat them as we do the Americans and the British who have already realised that their various expansionist interests around the world are under severe threat. If we go along with the Zionist call to regard Jewish-ness as a nationalistic category rather than a religious one, we should be consistent and regard any act against Jews as a political reaction rather than an irrational racist attack. In other words: the success of Zionism drains away any possibility of anti-Semitism. The last statement is perplexing because it is the Zionists who tell us all the time that anti-Semitism is on the rise. Zionism is fuelled by anti-Semitism. The Zionists need anti-Semitic acts in order to justify the state of Israel as the only viable option for Jewish existence. Zionists have long understood that it is anti-Semitic acts that push Jews to support the idea of a Jewish state. Accordingly, in order to promote Zionist interests, Israel must generate significant anti-Jewish sentiment. Cruelty against Palestinian civilians is a favourite Israeli means of achieving this aim... Let's review some current typical Zionist arguments:
a. The 'Elders of Zion' syndrome: Zionists complain that Jews continue to be associated with a conspiracy to rule the world via political lobbies, media and money. Is the suggestion of conspiracy really an empty accusation? The following list is presented with pride in several Jewish American websites.

Let me assure you, in Clinton's administration the situation was even worse. Even though the Jews only make up 2.9 per cent of the country's population, an astounding 56 per cent of Clinton's appointees were Jews. A coincidence? I don't think so.
We have to ask ourselves what motivates American Jews to gain such political power. Is it a genuine care for American interests? Soon, following the growing number of American casualties in Iraq, American people will start to ask themselves this very question. Since America currently enjoys the status of the world's only super power and since all the Jews listed above declare themselves as devoted Zionists, we must begin to take the accusation that the Jewish people are trying to control the world very seriously. It is beyond doubt that Zionists, the most radical, racist and nationalistic Jews around, have already managed to turn America into an Israeli mission force. The world's number one super power is there to support the Jewish state's wealth and security matters. The one-sided pro-Zionist take on the Israeli­-Palestinian conflict, the American veto against every 'anti-Israeli' UN resolution, the war against Iraq and now the militant intentions against Syria, all prove beyond doubt that it is Zionist interests that America is serving. American Jewry makes any debate on whether the 'Protocols of the elder of Zion' are an authentic document or rather a forgery irrelevant. American Jews do try to control the world, by proxy. So far they are doing pretty well for themselves at least. Whether the Americans enjoy the deterioration of their state's affairs will no doubt be revealed soon."

["Anti-Semitism" isn't "everyone's problem." It's an expressly Jewish issue, as old a Jewish identity. Jews always aim to mystify it. It's not really too hard to understand. Modern anti-Semitism is really the logical and inevitable response to exploitive Jewish social and political tribal activism. And here below Jews get to deface Christianity's Virgin Mary in the name of fighting "anti-Semitism." Neat trick. This is the terrain of Freud's sublimation, or projection. "We Jews don't mean to be disrespectrful of Christianity. Nawwwww...." Jews appropriate other people's sacred icons for whatever the Hell they want -- usually, as in this case, communal aggrandizement. If the French Jewish community wants to "shock," as stated, and the game is really to drag Christian icons in the mud and turn a sacred image into an advertising gimmick on dirty subway walls, we suggest leaving the Virgin Mary alone and start using posters of transparent elephant turds over pictures of prominent rabbis with text saying, oh, say: "When will you ever stop pissing on Catholics?" An eye for an eye, and all that, right? Mind you, there's no disrepect for Jews intended. We swear on a stack of Bibles (Old Testament).]
French Ads Aim to Fight Anti-Semitism,
by KATE BRUMBACK, Newsday (from Assoicated Press), October 22, 2004
"A new advertising campaign to fight anti-Semitism in France aims to shock. The campaign features serene images of Jesus and Mary with the slur "Dirty Jew" scrawled across them as if in graffiti. Underneath the picture appears the slogan: "Anti-Semitism: What if it were everyone's problem?" The advertisements, which will run in French newspapers beginning Tuesday over a period of about 10 days, were created by the Union of Jewish Students of France, or UEJF. The UEJF said it recognizes the startling nature of the images but that the goal is to grab people's attention. "It's a way to wake people up and make them aware," said Yonathan Arfi, the group's president, in a telephone interview. "That's what is important. Today, it is difficult to wake people up without running the risk of shocking them a bit." He stressed that no disrespect for Catholic images or Catholicism was intended. "On the contrary, we are, more or less, paying homage to Jesus and Mary as the first to protest racism, the first who took it upon themselves to defend others," Arfi said. The Conference of Bishops of France declined Friday to comment on the campaign. The UEJF cited rising anti-Semitism in France as the impetus behind the campaign."

[It's the Death of the Western democracy to Jewish Totalitarianism which demands --in all its permutations -- to be beyond criticism. Criticize Israel? A fine and jail. Maybe a public whipping. Think about it. Here the the Jewish scam tool of "anti-Semitism is laid bare. If it's crystal clear to people across the political spectrum that the Jewish charge of anti-Semitism is merely a sinister device to ban criticism of Israel, why can't everyone see that it's just as much a Jewish scam to censor everything else unpleasant throughout Jewish tribal activism? Mention Jewish power? Go to jail. Mention Jewish racism? A steep fine. ]
Anti-Israel or anti-Jewish?,
Radio Netherlands, October 22, 2004
"A new report on racism in France has caused upset in some unexpected quarters. The report recommends that anti-Israel acts and remarks be punished as severely as cases of anti-Semitism. Applauded by Jewish groups in France as well as members of the Paris government, the recommendation has met with heavy criticism from French commentators and anti-racist groups, who say it's dangerous to equate criticism of Israel with anti-Semitism.The 50-page report, released on Tuesday, four months after being ordered by Interior Minister Dominique de Villepin, paints a bleak picture. Racism and anti-Semitism are no longer marginal phenomena in France; they're "at the heart of the evolution of French society." Ultimately, they will "radically threaten the survival of the democratic system".The report, which suggests a raft of measures to counter the perceived trend, singles out anti-Semitism as a problem to be combated separately. It challenges the prevailing view that anti-Semitism is limited to immigrant Muslim families in disadvantaged French suburbs. "The new anti-Semitism appears more heterogeneous," it says. New law The study recommends focusing on the forces fomenting hostility against France's 600,000 Jews. That includes verbal attacks on Israel, a common occurrence in France where media and political commentary are often critical of the Jewish state's treatment of Palestinians. "Unfounded anti-Israel stances should be criminalized to the same extent as anti-Jewish acts," the report says. This requires new legislation to "punish those who might level unfounded racism allegations against groups, institutions or states, and use against them unjustified comparisons with Apartheid or Nazism." It's this recommendation that has stirred heated debate in France. "There's a strong need for clarification after a report of this nature," comments Antoine Bernard, executive director of the International Federation of Human Rights ... Mr Bernard says established international bodies including his own rights group could be at risk of punishment if the recommendation became law. "If the French government were to follow such a recommendation to criminalize what the report calls ‘radical anti-Zionism', then not only the International Federation for Human Rights would be considered as criminal, but also the International Court of Justice after its advisory opinion on the wall [Israel's separation barrier in the West Bank] and the Israeli Supreme Court, after its May 2004 decision that international humanitarian law, yes, is applicable to the Palestinians in the Occupied Territories." "So, this is not only a proposal in this report which is shocking, but it's also stupid. We will always fight for the legitimate right to criticize systematic violations of human rights and humanitarian law, be they by terrorist groups targeting civilians in Israel in suicide bombings or the policy of a state and a government through its policy in the Occupied Territories."

Bush's New Anti-Semitism Law May Criminalize Thought,
by Sam Francis, V-Dare, October 18, 2004
"The bill passed both houses of Congress by voice vote and was signed into law by President Bush last week. It's a very silly and dangerous measure ... The bill did not, of course, pass Congress because there was such a massive groundswell of grassroots support for it. It passed because Jewish organizations demanded it, and no sitting politician wants to get on the wrong side of these groups. That's why the bill passed the Senate by agreement and the House by voice vote there's no debate and no record of how anyone voted. Pushed by the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith and most other major Jewish organizations, the bill requires the Department to record acts of physical violence against Jews, their property, cemeteries and places of worship abroad, and the response of local governments to them. As the Department notes, it already issues reports on "human rights" abuses, and there's no special reason why attacks on Jews should be recorded separately. Why not reports about attacks on other groups -- black people, white people, women, Christians? ... What's wrong with [this law] is that it opens one more door to the criminalization of thought and expression. The bill requires only that acts of physical violence against Jews be recorded, not expressions of anti-Semitism, but you can bet the bill's promoters will soon be pushing to include what they claim are "anti-Semitic" expressions to be reported as well. As press reports noted, "among the attacks that prompted passage of the bill" was "the recent claim by former Malaysian prime minister Mahathir Mohamad that Jews 'rule the world by proxy.'" That's the sort of stuff the State Department will now have to record and report about ... What really drives the crusade to criminalize thought and expression is not any legitimate revulsion against real violence (which is already illegal) but the compulsion of powerful and well-organized lobbies to muzzle criticism. Neoconservatives are already claiming that criticism of them is really "anti-Semitism," which is what they also said about the recent FBI investigation of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) for espionage for Israel, and what the Anti-Defamation League and many other Jewish spokesmen said about Mel Gibson's movie, "The Passion of the Christ," and what the same groups say about criticism of Israel or of U.S. policies toward Israel. It might be a lot simpler if the State Department had to report on what isn't anti-Semitism. The list would be a lot shorter. What is worrisome about the new law is not that the Department will have to duplicate what it already does but that what is not anti-Semitism at all, let alone violence, but merely criticism and dissent will be demonized and curbed. Maybe in some minds that was the real purpose of the law all along."

[JTR contributor's comment: "David Irving has on his site the same quote by Harry Truman you give from Haaretz, plus he also has this gem by Truman he discovered in the archives: 'I gave them the state they asked for, but they're all still here.' LINK TO IRVING'S ARTICLE ON TRUMAN: http://www.fpp.co.uk/History/antisemitism/Truman_onJews.html IRVING'S QUOTE ABOUT HIS DISCOVERY OF THIS QUOTE:
"YES, I knew about Truman's disregard for the Jews although I confess that I too did not find this diary, when I researched in his library. "I gave them the state they asked for," he said, commenting on their ingratitude, in another document that I did read, "but they're all still here." One by one the inner thoughts of the world's great and goodly people about their Jewish fellow-humans are revealed, as the archives disgorge their cruel secrets. Those who attended my Libel action against Deborah Lipstadt, where the defence lawyers (but not Lipstadt herself) accused me of anti-semitism, will recall that I invited their expert witness Prof Richard "Skunky" Evans to read (to himself) certain passages of the diaries of well-known statesmen, which I put to him while in the witness box, and I would then ask him questions. I was going to ask if these were not statesmen of the utmost esteem and respectability; and whether he did not agree that their private comments on the Jews far exceeded any statement that I might have made. Mr Justice Gray panicked, and refused to allow him to answer. There's Justice for ya."

Who Benefits from anti-Semitism? (- a sad story)
by Robert Thompson, Axis of logic, October 23, 2004
"A respectable lady went into a Bordeaux supermarket and stuck labels on dates which had come from the "State of Israel", on which it was pointed out that the state of origin of the fruit was founded on racist principles and asking customers to boycott anything coming from there.   This strategy was well-known and popularly supported by people protesting against the apartheid of the former South African régime. The Manager of the supermarket called the Police and the lady was arrested and taken to the Police Headquarters on a charge relating to racial discrimination. After a time, she was released, and later the same day the Police called at her home and re-arrested her, following which she had to spend the night in a cell despite her wish to return home to her husband. After further interrogation, she was charged with an offence in no way connected with racial discrimination, but alleging that she had damaged the goods on display.   As a retired lawyer, I have asked to see the exact wording of the charge, since it is hard without seeing this to know what is likely to happen next.   Many of us across France are watching with interest. The lesson of all this sad story is that this lady is the victim of a campaign whereby certain Zionist organisations are trying as hard as they can to accuse anyone who opposes Zionism (such as this lady and many other law-abiding citizens including myself) of being "anti-semitic".  As we know, Mr Ariel Sharon accused our country of being "anti-semitic" because, in the majority, we are willing to express our support for the sufferings of the Palestinians, and he further invited our Jewish fellow citizens to join him and his like in the Zionist expansion, with particular emphasis on the illegal colonies in Palestine."
