Deadline Hollywood The Punch Line, Please. Too few laughs in The Hollywood Retorter,
by Nikke Finke, LA WEEKLY, December 13-19, 2002
"A FEW YEARS AGO, A FAMOUS SCREENWRITER sat in a newly minted studio mogul's office and pitched a script. It was about the comedic mishaps of men on a hunting trip. The executive was known for his sense of humor, but he sat there stone-faced, then passed on the spot. "Hunting?" said the incredulous mogul. "Jews don't hunt. I don't get it." "Getting it" is what being Jewish in Hollywood is all about. So when the National Lampoon decided, after being missing in action for 15 years, to revive its special-edition parodies, it targeted The Hollywood Reporter and Hollywood Jews. Oy vey. "This was just letting people know we're back, and our sensibility's back," Doug Bennett, National Lampoon's executive vice president, told the Weekly on the eve of the release of its 16-page The Hollywood Retorter, which this week started showing up without fanfare in the mailboxes of 4,000 top entertainment names. Lampoon editor in chief Scott Rubin, who is quick to point out he himself is Jewish, says the subject of Hollywood Jews was chosen because it's such a taboo in this town. Even the L.A. Times, in a news brief, shied away from mentioning the "Jewish" articles. "Well, who are we kidding? There're a lot of Jews in Hollywood. But no one wants to admit that. This was just having fun with the fact that a disproportionate amount of Jews are in the entertainment business." And the punch line is . . . ? The lead story, illustrated with a photo of Jeffrey Katzenberg, claims that "After years of Jewish executives and producers concealing their Jewishness, Jewish entertainment moguls were announcing a new network, JewTV. Not only does the article contain faux quotes from Katzenberg, Barry Diller and Michael Eisner, among others, but it has The Simpsons' producer, James L. Brooks, renaming that show The Simpsteins and revamping the storyline: "Homer will own a small check-cashing business, Marge will be racked with guilt for not properly mothering her children to death, and Bart will be a hypochondriac obsessed with anti-Semitism who will constantly nudge his dad to describe the deaths of many of his dead relatives who died in the Holocaust." (Expectedly, not everyone who received the parody issue realized it was a spoof. On Monday, one geriatric Hollywood flack barked to his snickering underlings: "Let's get our clients on this new JewTV. Maybe even their own talk shows.") Another article reports that "Jew rotisserie leagues" are the latest Hollywood trend. "At agencies throughout L.A., assistants and CEOs alike are poring through their Hollywood Creative Directories, getting ready for this season's Fantasy Jew rotisserie-league drafts." Points are scored for achievements like marrying a trophy shiksa, making a Survivor rip-off, and furthering the career of Adam Sandler. "Picking the right Jews can be tricky," one enthusiast is quoted in the send-up as saying. "Last year, I went with Eisner #1, and he tanked. The only thing that saved me was that I picked up Sumner Redstone as a free agent. I guess people didn't know he's Jewish" ... Today, Bennett insists National Lampoon is the most recognized brand in humor, quoting a recently commissioned marketing study claiming a 93 percent name recognition in the 15-to-54 male demographic. "That's up there with Coke. It opens up so many opportunities," he boasts. Though the tech and publishing executive arrived at the Lampoon in 1999, only this year could he start securing a string of new branding deals: six books with Rugged Land publishers, a minority investment by ex-BMG music boss Strauss Zelnick, the purchase of the in-dorm TV network Burly Bear, which reaches 3.5 million college students on 420 U.S. campuses. But the Lampoon movie franchise has faded. Even Ivan Reitman, the Animal House producer who hasn't had a bona fide hit film in years, was quoted in USA Today as saying the brand name is "fairly irrelevant' to moviegoers now."

UGA Cheerleading Coach Fired,
Bruce Frazier, WNEG News - CHANNEL 32 (Georgia), August 25, 2004
"On Monday, The University of Georgia fired cheerleading coach Marilou Braswell for violation of University policy. The violations stem from a complaint filed by cheerleader Jaclyn Steele in 2003. Steele tried out for, and made, the UGA football cheerleading squad when she was a freshman. However, the next season she tried out and was placed on the men's basketball team, which is considered a lower squad. In 2003, as a junior, Steele made the women's basketball cheerleading squad, and filed a complaint claiming that she was discriminated against because she was Jewish. Coach Braswell is a devout Christian. Steele deferred all questions to her stepfather, David Bernath, who said that the complaint was "specifically about Marilou and how she ran her program, and how she treated [my stepdaughter]." After the complaint, Braswell was placed on probation by the University, and held herself out of judging Steele's 2004 tryout. That tryout once again resulted in Steele being placed on the women's hoops cheer squad. After another complaint from Steele, the athletic department ordered that Steele be placed on the football squad. On August 7th, Braswell read a "prepared statement" to her cheerleaders announcing the investigation of the complaint, and the addition of Steele to the cheer squad. In the letter of termination given to Braswell on Monday, the University deemed that act to be "discourteous and disruptive", and was also "retaliation against students who report what they believe to be discrimination". But, Braswell told NewsChannel 32 that the reading of the statement was anything but retaliation. She said she simply wanted to explain to her cheerleaders why Steele had joined them, and that she "turned to Jackie, and I said 'Jackie, I'm glad that you're here, and I love you.'" Braswell says that she told her squad that any mistreatment of Steele would not be tolerated. Braswell also says that there was no discrimination against Steele during tryouts. She said that in both Steele's freshman and sophomore year, she gave the cheerleader high marks, but other judges downgraded her. Braswell will appeal her firing to UGA Athletics Director Damon Evans Thursday morning."

Assaulted over the Internet,
by Charles E. Carlson, We Hold These Truths, September 2004
"Yes, we were assaulted over the Internet and it is not over. This is not the first time, but it is the worst so far. We Hold These Truths/Strait Gate Ministries has survived for the moment after being totally blacked out for eight days without a warning or a hearing. What was done to us is no different than had our offices been bombed and looted, in fact, it might be easier to recover. The following letter explains what happened to us and why. It was delivered yesterday to the President of one of the new skyrocketing internet success companies that provides the service we need to have a website and to distribute this letter. His company has the capacity to further damage WHTT.ORG without so much as an explanation, and based on the benign claims of a male homosexual internet pornographer from Israel. Go Daddy Inc. has not acted yet, they have only given us notice they intend to drop their bomb ... Riain called in about 10:00 AM, caller identified self as Israeli now living in US. Says we are “evil”, "trying to steal my religion". Says it is illegal for Christians to call selves "the chosen people" which he read in an e-mail paper he rec’d. Said he is “chosen” and only Jews can say this; he finally gave e-mail address. Caller talked about vengeance with vile vocab. -end ... Mr. Riain seems to be carrying out a religious vendetta against straitgateministry based on bias. Distribution of Christian literature is protected by the most basic legal doctrine that has withheld every test. Go Daddy is about to make itself an accomplice by blocking the use of straitgateminstry.org domain which the undersigned bought and paid for, and which is a part of our business. The undersigned owner will take appropriate actions for defamation and business interference under Arizona law if this goes further ... Three large internet service providers already cut our communications resulting in our eight days of blackness. We are not sharing their names right now for legal reasons. We suspect they all heard from Riain, or others who act much like him. We do not know if they are organized or independent coincidences, but each one is educated to know exactly how to place bombs, and they seem not in the least worried about making a clean escape. We caught Riain and one other Internet bomber in the act. Why do big companies like Go Daddy listen to, and damage their own customers in the process? Because each is unknowingly or knowingly carrying out the agenda of the internet establishment. Its leaders, like the establishment press and television, want to control the incorrigible news-makers. WHTT.ORG is one of these."

Al-Jazeera silenced,
News 24 (September 5, 2004)
"Iraqi security forces broke into Al-Jazeera's office in Baghdad late on Saturday and sealed it with red wax after the interim government extended a ban on the Qatar-based news channel, a spokesperson for the station said. "Iraqi security authorities stormed Al-Jazeera's office in Baghdad, photographed our equipment and sealed the place with red wax, stationing a 14-strong police unit outside," Jihad Ballout told AFP. They did so on grounds that Al-Jazeera continues to cover Iraq despite the month-long ban clamped on August 5, Ballout said. Denouncing the move, Ballout said Al-Jazeera had complied with the ban and "has been receiving footage from news agencies, as do many media institutions operating in Iraq". In a statement, the Arab satellite television network Al-Jazeera voiced "outrage" at the decision to extend the ban, saying the move flew in the face of Baghdad's promise to safeguard press freedom. "Al-Jazeera channel is outraged at the decision taken this evening by the Iraqi interim government to extend the closure of its bureau in Baghdad," it said. "This decision runs contrary to pledges made by the Iraqi authorities to pursue a policy of openness and to safeguard freedoms of the press and expression," the statement said. The government of interim Prime Minister Iyad Allawi announced earlier Saturday it was extending the month-long ban on Al-Jazeera because the channel was inciting to violence. "During this temporary closure the Government of Iraq had expected the Al-Jazeera management to offer an explanation to the presented allegations or to officially request a description of the possible threat that the channel may be imposing. However, none of this has happened," a statement from Allawi's office said."

The Zionist Silencing Machine...Seven Examples of Zionist Authoritarianism,
By Jody Cummings, Press Action, September 10, 2004
"I first became heavily involved in Palestinian rights after innocuously writing a “Yom Kippur” essay in my university newspaper. Being that Yom Kippur is the holiest day of the Jewish year, specifically the day of atonement, I suggested that Jews should collectively atone for the treatment of Palestinians. I also—it was literally the next day—heavily criticized the still seemingly marginal Sharon for visiting the Temple Mount to intentionally provoke the new Intifada. Outside of the Conservative Synagogue I attended with relatives in Montreal, while putting on my “tallit,” I was accosted by an old classmate and a group of others, who called me a “self-hating Jew” and wondered why I was even attending services. I found it funny, but the further the distance I have from that day, the more I realize that this was the experience that turned me into foremost enemy of the Neo-Zionist liars who are trying to destroy the Jewish community. 6) A year or so later, as I’d come to be known as a Pro Palestinian Jew, I started receiving extreme death threats on my answering machine. Recently a pamphlet had been circulated among Jewish campus groups regarding “SHITs” (self hating Israeli threateners) and so it was that we would be targeted. This was around January/February 2002. I did the sensible thing and changed my phone number. A few days later, the crazies had my phone number again. One day in April, while entertaining people, I got a message that “we’re right outside.” A white van (was it OJ working for Dersh?) was parked on Queen Mary, right outside my building. When I went out to the balcony and saw them, they drove off. This happened a few times, and though I was never able to get their license plate, I did consult with the RCMP, who told me that that many Jewish people, as well as Arab Canadians, were experiencing similar difficulties. The kind and Quebecois Federale told me there was just about nothing he could do about it. 7) The response by the Left and Pro Palestinian groups seems to be exactly what the NeoKahanists had in mind. One group asserts truthfully that the Israeli lobby is far too powerful, and should be the focus of analysis. The other has been to shamefully—like Michael Moore telling Rabbi Shmuley Boteach that he “loves Israel”—continue to profess support for Palestine and Palestinians, also seem to bend over backwards to re-assure Israelis and Jews that they are not AntiSemites, thus distancing themselves from the first group ... Any time, as well, it is asserted that reporting the Israeli spy story is called “Anti Semitic,” remember that [the Israeli journal] Ha’aretz—particularly the Hebrew edition—is giving the story incredible coverage."

JEWISH WRITERS BLAST ISRAEL, US AND TURKEY FOR DENYING GENOCIDE,
Harut Sassounian, Armenian Daily, September 18, 2004
"The Turkish government spends millions of dollars to deny the Armenian Genocide. Yet, despite such intense Turkish efforts, and sometimes because of them, the Genocide is becoming more widely known to the world. Scores of countries and international organizations have officially acknowledged it in recent years. The international media frequently refers to the Armenian Genocide. Despite the Israeli government's shameful support for Turkish revisionism, Jewish scholars and commentators have played a major role in reaffirming the facts of the Armenian Genocide. In recent weeks, two more Jewish writers have published very important articles on this issue. Hillel Halkin, an Israel-based author, in an article published in the August 17 issue of The New York Sun, castigated the "Republican congressional leadership and the Department of State "for opposing congressional resolutions "that do nothing more than express official American acknowledgment of the pre-meditated murder, mostly in 1915, of an estimated 1 to 1.5 million Armenians by the armies of the Ottoman Empire" ... Halkin blasts the Israeli foreign ministry for being "chock-full of fearful bureaucrats needlessly anxious about jeopardizing their country's good ties with Turkey." He accuses both the Israeli government and "some Jewish lobbies in America," for having "collaborated shamefully with the Turks on the Armenian issue." Halkin concludes his powerful article by pointing out that since the "Jewish State does not recognize" the Armenian Genocide "for reasons of realpolitik," the Jews should then stop blaming other countries that for their own reasons of realpolitik did not lift a finger while the Nazis were slaughtering the Jews! A second important article, written by Israeli attorney Nir Eisikovits, appeared in the September 1, 2004 issue of "In the National Interest," an online weekly published jointly by The National Interest magazine and The Nixon Center. The writer points out that Israel's denial of the Armenian Genocide is based on two considerations: the belief in the "uniqueness" of the Holocaust, and Israel's self-perceived strategic interests or "realpolitik." Eisikovits considers the first argument "both morally warped and empirically unfounded." By asserting that "Jews do not have a monopoly on pain," he emphatically states: "Jews cannot, simultaneously, attack those who deny the Holocaust and assist others who deny the Armenian Genocide." The writer also points out that the Cambodian and Rwandan genocides have not in any way diminished the Nazi atrocities. As for the considerations of "realpolitik," Eisikovits sadly concludes that Israel's appeasement of Turkey "does not seem to be working." Recalling that Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan recently accused Israel of "state terrorism," he concludes that Israel has apparently sold its "moral integrity in vain." He also argues: "Realism in international affairs, with all its merits, must be subordinate to a nation's most basic principles rather than dictate them." By refusing to recognize other cases of genocide, "Israel would have undermined the main reason for its own existence," Halkin states. The courageous positions taken by these righteous Jewish writers, combined with all other efforts by Armenians and non-Armenians worldwide would eventually force the governments of the United States and Israel to stop parroting the lies and start telling the truth on the Armenian Genocide."

Newspapers accused of misusing word 'terrorist',
CBC (Canadian Broadcast Company), Fri, 17 Sep 2004
"Canada's largest newspaper chain, CanWest Global, is being criticized over its use of the word "terrorist" in stories about the Middle East. The owner of the National Post and dozens of other papers across Canada is being accused of inappropriately inserting the word into newswire copy dealing with the Middle East, thereby changing the meaning of those stories. One of the world's leading news agencies, Reuters, said CanWest newspapers have been altering words and phrases in stories dealing with the war in Iraq and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Reuters told CBC News it would complain to CanWest about the issue. The global managing editor for Reuters, David Schlesinger, called such changes unacceptable. He said CanWest had crossed a line from editing for style to editing the substance and slant of news from the Middle East. "If they want to put their own judgment into it, they're free to do that, but then they shouldn't say that it's by a Reuters reporter," said Schlesinger. As an example, Schlesinger cited a recent Reuters story, in which the original copy read: "...the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, which has been involved in a four-year-old revolt against Israeli occupation in Gaza and the West Bank." In the National Post version of the story, printed Tuesday, it became: "...the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, a terrorist group that has been involved in a four-year-old campaign of violence against Israel." Neither the National Post nor CanWest returned calls. But the Ottawa Citizen, another CanWest paper, has admitted to making erroneous changes in a story about Iraq from another leading news agency. Last week, the Citizen inserted the word "terrorist" seven times into an Associated Press story on the Iraqi city of Fallujah, where Iraqi insurgents have been battling U.S.-led occupation forces. In an interview, Ottawa Citizen editor Scott Anderson conceded fighters in Fallujah were not terrorists but said CanWest has a policy of renaming some groups as terrorists. He added the paper had applied that term primarily to Arab groups, and that mistakes had been made occasionally ... Riad Saloojee, the head of the Council on American-Islamic Relations Canada, says the organization wants Canadian press watchdogs to investigate CanWest. "We're going to be asking the Ontario Press Council to investigate exactly the extent of this policy across the country in other CanWest publications," said Saloojee."

New education plan 'enforced'; Jews tamper with Holy Quran: Tabtabaei,
Arab Times, September 20, 2004
"In another development, the Dean of the College of Sharia and Islamic Studies of Kuwait University (KU) Dr Mohammad AbdulRazak Al-Tabtabaei has warned citizens and residents of some versions, which have been manipulated by Jews by deleting some verses, of the Holy Quran, reports Al-Watan. Al-Tabtabaei's warning came after Al-Watan asked him on the existence of some unknown sections of Jews, who have been printing Holy Qurans after deleting nearly 50 verses related with Jews and promoting such versions through a special website. "For long Jews have been plotting against Muslims using various means. They did not stop until they reached the point where they have been damaging the Holy book by changing and deleting verses with the aim of hiding the truth. But the Almighty has promised to safeguard the Holy Quran against any such alterations," Al-Tabtabaei said. "Any person, who comes across such a copy of the Holy Quran and discovers the alterations, shall immediately tear and burn it," Al-Tabtabaei added."

French Journalists Speak for Israel, [Breaking News]
Jewish Telegraphic Agency, October 18, 2004
"Journalists at France’s international radio network slammed the station’s news director for attacking Jews and the State of Israel. The SNJ and CFDT unions at Radio France International said Saturday that remarks by Alain Menargues during an interview concerning his book “Sharon’s Wall” were “unacceptable.” During the interview on Radio Courtoisie on Oct. 12, Menargues asked listeners to check out the Book of Leviticus, adding : “It’s the separation of the pure and the impure. A Jew who wants to pray has to be pure. Anything that runs contrary to that purity has to be separated. Read Leviticus, it’s written in black and white.” He then added that Jews had created the world’s first-ever ghetto in Venice “to separate themselves off from the rest.” The comments come less than a week after Menargues referred to Israel as “a racist state” during another radio interview. In a statement Saturday, the SNJ union said Menargues’ comments have “provoked anger and rejection among the staff” at Radio France."

French radio chief quits over anti-Israel remarks. Head of news at Radio France international says Israel is country like any other and like others it must be criticised,
Middle East Online, October 18, 2004
"Alain Menargues, head of news at the state-owned Radio France International, resigned from his post Monday after he was accused of anti-Israeli bias. Promoting his new book "Sharon's Wall" on the wall being built to separate Israel from Palestinian centres of population, Menargues more than once described Israel as racist, earning condemnation from the government as well as RFI journalists and Jewish groups. Speaking on LCI television on September 30, he said: "You say Israel is a democratic state, let me rapidly add that it is also a racist state .... The law of return only concerns Jews. What is the basis of Zionism? It is to make a state for the Jews." On another occasion he said, "What was the first ghetto on the world? It was in Venice. Who made it? The Jews themselves, in order separate themselves from the rest. Afterwards Europe put them in ghettoes." The foreign ministry said that Menargues' description of Israel as racist was "unacceptable" and journalists' unions at RFI called on management to "assume its responsibilities." The vice-president of the France-Israel association Gilles William Goldnadel said the remarks were made "in the context of a deep-rooted anti-Jewishness and the fact they were made by a director of RFI, the voice of France abroad, shows there is a sense of total impunity." Menargues has rejected the charges against him, saying "Israel is a country like any other and like the others it must be criticised. There is no exception in my vision of the world, no country is above international laws." Menargues, 57, is a Middle East specialist who has spent many years in the region. He was named to his current post, which bears the rank of deputy director-general, in July."

Hungarian Deputy Quits over Holocaust Row,
Big News Network, October 19, 2004
"A Hungarian socialist parliamentarian resigned Monday after making a joke about the Holocaust. Janos Zuschlag, 27, was caught on camera last week at an outdoor Holocaust memorial gathering appearing to make light of the suffering of Jews in the Nazi genocide of World War II. Hungary's Duna TV caught Zuschlag reacting to a bystander's comment about how cold conditions must have been for the victims of the Holocaust. He then said, laughing: For them, it wasn't cold any more. The comments exploded in the Hungarian media and Zuschlag has apologized for the offensive nature of his remarks. In mid-1944 nearly half-a-million Hungarian Jews were deported to Nazi death camps, forming one of the last major contingents of European Jews to die in a genocide that cost 6 million lives."

NEWSWEEK: The Oscars: Giving Best-Picture Nod to 'The Passion of the Christ' Is Almost Unthinkable, say Industry Insiders. 'There's a Lot of Animosity Toward This Film That Is Very Real,' says One Oscar-Campaign Vet; but Snub Could Lead to Boycott of Awards,
Yahoo Financial News ( PRNewswire), October 17, 2004
"Despite shattering box-office records and dominating headlines for months, "The Passion of the Christ" and "Fahrenheit 9/11" face real obstacles in the race for an Oscar nomination for best picture. As Senior Writer Sean Smith reports in the current issue of Newsweek, many of the high-placed studio executives, producers, Oscar strategists, publicists and Academy members interviewed think that "Fahrenheit's" chances depend on the results of the presidential election, and all say that a "Passion" best-picture nod is almost unthinkable. "A lot of older Academy voters, who are largely Jewish, refuse to even see this movie," says one Oscar-campaign vet. "There's a level of animosity toward this film that is very real. When I talk to the members, I hear it over and over and over again." Complicating matters, says one exec, is the sense, fair or not, that Mel Gibson marketed the film as something Hollywood couldn't, or wouldn't, make. "It's a little weird to trash the establishment, and then to come knocking at the establishment's door during awards season." ... But if "The Passion" gets shut out, there's a concern that some Christians could protest and -- worst-case scenario -- boycott the Oscars. "The born- agains will come out screaming that it's another case of censorship," says one source. "The whole Sodom and Gomorrah thing about Hollywood will come up again."

Arab books seized from fair on Jewish outcry,
The Age (Australia), October 9, 2004
"Frankfurt [Germany] police have seized several Arabic books at the world's biggest book fair after Jewish complaints that they breached a German ban on anti-Semitic writing. The Frankfurt Book Fair is giving a special showcase this year to Arabic literature. "The prosecutor's office is checking the accusations," the fair's deputy director, Joachim Kehl, said after the Simon Wiesenthal Centre, which lobbies for Jewish interests, protested about several books being promoted by Arab publishers. Mr Kehl declined to say which books were seized but said organisers acted after the Wiesenthal Centre complained about 13 titles. Among those were three volumes it said called for the destruction of Israel and one that paid tribute to the late spiritual leader of Palestinian militant group Hamas, Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, killed by Israeli forces in March. The centre's international liaison director, Shimon Samuels, said some of the books contravened German laws, introduced after the Nazi period, which ban incitements to hatred."

In the run-up to the fourth National Student Conference of the Palestine Solidarity Movement (PSM), scheduled for October 15-17 on Duke's North Carolina campus, organizers have declined overtures by Jewish student groups to denounce Palestinian terrorism while moving ahead with plans to invite an array of strongly anti-Israel speakers - including one well-known anti-Semite -- to address students with a strongly anti-Israel message.

It seems they started with me to see if the students will cave in and strike my name off the program, if so, the ADL will turn up the heat.

FBI Seizes Global Indymedia Servers. Reasons Unknown. Background Info,
by Sascha Meinrith, Indymedia (Urbana-Champaign), October 2004
"The FBI took the hard drives of Global IMC servers in the USA and the UK. It appears that a court order was issued to Rackspace (Indymedia's service provider with offices in the US and in London) to physically remove the hard drives from Global Indymedia servers (backup servers are now in place). Rackspace was given no time to defend against the order before it was acted upon and turned over the hard drives, both in the US and the UK. The servers hosted numerous local IMCs and the reason for the seizure is not known. The FBI's latest anti-free-press actions began at the beginning of October when they visited Indymedia's ISP demanding the removal of identifying information from photographs of undercover police officers that was posted on the Nantes Indymedia website. When asked what the US government was doing requesting the removal of information from a French-run website that containe information about Swiss police actions, the FBI stated that this was a "courtesy" to the Swiss government. The FBI agents stated that no laws had been broken, and no crimes had been committed. However, because no identifying information was posted on the website in question, it was unclear what actions the FBI was requesting."

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."]

Wal-Mart ends anti-Semitic book sale. No. 1 retailer agrees to take tract off online market after complaints from Jewish leaders,
CNN Money, September 24, 2004: 8:46 AM EDT
"Bowing to a barrage of complaints from Jewish groups, retail leader Wal-Mart Inc. has stopped selling "The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion," an infamous anti-Semitic tract long exposed as fake.
Jewish leaders had complained that the book, which purports to tell of an international Jewish conspiracy to take over the world, was being sold on Walmart.com with a description that suggested it might be genuine instead of a forgery concocted by the Czarist secret police in the early 20th Century. The description, now withdrawn from the Wal-Mart Web site, said, "If ... The Protocols are genuine (which can never be proven conclusively), it might cause some of us to keep a wary eye on world affairs. We neither support nor deny its message. We simply make it available for those who wish a copy." In a statement e-mailed to Reuters, a Wal-Mart spokeswoman said, "Based on significant customer feedback regarding the book titled 'The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion,' we have made a business decision to remove this book ... from our site at www.walmart.com." Wal-Mart had no immediate response to questions on whether the company wrote the description of the book on the Web site or if it came from the publisher. Anti-Defamation League head Abraham Foxman and Rabbi Abraham Cooper, assistant dean of the international Jewish human rights group The Simon Wiesenthal Center, wrote to Wal-Mart President Lee Scott expressing their astonishment that the book was on sale without a disclaimer /... Both Barnes & Noble and Amazon.com sell "The Protocols" online but with strong disclaimers.
Foxman told Reuters that while he did not think he should tell Wal-Mart what it should sell, the company should have made it clear that the book was "a hateful anti-Semitic forgery. It was projected as a legitimate historic book. If it was going to be sold, it should be sold responsibly."

Real estate firm cites comments she made on show,
by Mark McGuire, Albany Times Union (JS Online), October 1, 2004
"For the second time in two days, 'Apprentice' contestant Jennifer Crisafulli was apparently fired Thrusday -- this time from her real job -- for remarks she made on the NBC reality show. An official with the Manhattan real estate firm of Prudential Douglas Elliman said Thursday that Crisafulli, a 32-year old real estate agent with the firm, would not be welcomed back because of comments she made on Wednesday night's episode of 'The Apprentice.' Crisafulli, a native of Slingerlands, N.Y., who now lives in Manhattan, made remarks that were perceived by some as anti-Semitic. 'We do not intend to have an invididual in our organization who subscribes to this point of view,' Steven James, Elliman's senior vice president and exectuve director of sales, told the Times Union on Thursday night. 'They are not wanted They are not needed.' But was she fired? James would not use the word, citing legal reason, and Crisafulli said no one from Elliman contacted her Thursday. She did say it appeared she was about to be let go, if she hadn't been fired already. 'I'm so upset,' she said. 'I mean, my career is gone.' The 1990 graduate of the Academy of Holy Names was shown on 'The Apprentice' Wednesday making disparaging remarks about wo women whom she believed gave a negative review to a restaurant her team opened. The team lost, and projects mansager Crisaffulli was later fired by star Donald Trump. 'It was those two old, Jewish fat ladies,' she told teammates. 'Really. They were like the pinnacle of the New York jaded old bags.' Elliman received calls Thursday protesting the remarks."

The Bijlmer crash or the cover-up of a chemical inferno,
by Lizzy Boem, Ban Depleted Uraniaum, August 21, 2004
"On Sunday October 4, 1992, an El Al Boeing with military cargo crashed in an apartment building in the Bijlmer neighbourhood of Amsterdam. 43 people directly lost their lives. More people have died since and many are still suffering from unidentified diseases.
The government denies every connection with the disaster, while all of these persons have been inhaling poisonous smoke from the burning airplane and the flats. The flats contained asbestos and lots of plastics. Parts of the contents of the plane are still unknown but three of the four components of sarin nerve gas were in the cargo. It is known that the destroyed Boeing aircraft carried 75 tons of kerosene and 10 tons of chemicals. From the plane itself at least 152 kg of the DU counterweights is missing. Most probably, it has burnt into particles. Because of the very “sensitive” cargo, official investigations into the plane crash have been marked by secrecy, denial and misinformation. Since the Yom Kippur War in 1973, an agreement exist between the Netherlands and Israel. Under the agreement Israeli aircraft are granted special status at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport. Israel’s national airline El AL, uses the airport to refuel planes coming from the US and going to Israel. Sometimes on a daily base, EL Al cargo planes land and take off, carrying munitions, military technology and other, often classified loads. One of Israel’s privileges on the airport are “different procedures”. The cargo of Israeli planes is only checked on paper, and most of the time the airway bills do not match the cargo. Another procedure that is different is known as “flying the El Al way”. Because of fear for terrorist attacks, El Al aircraft may land and take off as they see fit. This is most probably the reason why the fatal route was above residential area. ... [T]he Dutch authorities declared that only flowers, perfume and electronics were the on the cargo list. Delayed death came within 2 days after the disaster, starting with small pets, such as birds. The first dogs died 3 weeks later. Samples of pets and guard dogs were analysed in different laboratories than those of humans. In contrast to physicians, veterinarians have confirmed that the animals were poisoned. A hidden epidemic started among the residents, professional and voluntary fire fighters, medical personnel, first aid workers, ambulance personnel, police with dogs and horses, army personnel, identification teams, the salvation army and other relief workers. Journalists, too, have inhaled toxic and radioactive fumes, along with disaster tourists, workers who sorted out the remnants of the crash, crane drivers, suppliers of containers, construction workers, etc… A cluster of serious human health problems became evident after half a year. Many residents had health problems, such as pain in the chest, pain in the joints, loss of hair, rashes, unusual fatigue, vertigo, nausea, red skin spots, sour throat, nephritis and cancer. But physicians did not know what to do about it ... In 1993 Annemie Ummels, a peace activist, and the Laka Foundation brought in the news that the airplane was furnished with depleted uranium (DU) counterweights. Yet, the scientist spokesperson from the Dutch government, Keverling Buisman, stated that these counterweights stay intact during a crash and could not have burnt in the fire afterwards ... In 1994 the Amsterdam Research Service on Environmental Protection and Soil Mechanics (Omegam) took soil samples to search for DU. They found increasing pollution towards ground-zero, but below the health norm. But governmental institutions were loosing their credibility, which is exemplified by the discovery that Omegam took samples from already remediated soil. Still, the government had to address the issue of the missing uranium. In 1994, the scientist spokesman for the Dutch government, admitted that the DU counterweights might all have burnt after all. Despite this, the responsible ministers and spokespersons from the aviation council would repeat the government’s earlier assurance that this was not possible for years to come.Meanwhile one physician in the Bijlmer noticed that many more miscarriages, stillborns, chromosomal aberrations and auto-immune diseases occurred in his area. He compiled a complete dossier, but no health agencies responded. Also, the health minister denied a proposal for a health survey in 1996, supposedly because there was only one patient. The minister kept denying until in 1997, when she finally promised to start investigations as soon as possible ... .In 1999, the Visie Foundation took dust samples in the hangar where the aircraft’s wreck was kept. It proved the presence of DU dust around the wreckage, which was later confirmed by governmental organisations. By then, the media were full of the disaster, reporting about the ongoing health problems and the missing DU. They also started to question the secret flights of El Al in the days after the disaster, and discovered fraud with airway bills. Even the official flight route of the plane [over a residential area] did not match with eyewitness’ reports ... At one of the Commission’s hearings, watched by many on television, a tape was played. On the tape, an El Al Operations worker said to Schiphol traffic control: “There were many explosives aboard, cartridges. There was poison aboard”. The traffic control officers then promised to keep this “under the cap”. A few hours later, however, a reassuring explanation of the conversation was offered: the El Al worker was reading from the airway bill New York-Amsterdam. As for the issue of the missing uranium, the Commission did establish that part of it was likely burnt in the fire ... It is rather sinister that the Dutch government has closed the book on the Bijlmer disaster while so many people are still suffering ... Meanwhile, El Al planes continue to fly over the city of Amsterdam with classified cargo. On August 3, 2003, an El Al cargo aircraft lost parts of its body while landing at Amsterdam airport. The next day, the damaged plane was allowed to take off again. The Dutch air traffic authority had not even bothered to conduct a safety inspection."

Fury over French MEP Holocaust Denial,
Expatica (AFP), October 14, 2004
"European Parliament president Josep Borrell Thursday furiously attacked a French far-right member of the European Parliament who questioned the existence of Nazi gas chambers used in the Holocaust. National Front member Bruno Gollnisch had this week said that "historians might question the number of deaths" in the Nazi genocide of the Jews and on the gas chambers' existence, said: "It is up to historians to decide."  Borrell condemned "in the firmest possible manner" the remarks by Gollnisch, who was speaking on Monday in his home city of Lyon in response to a report on Holocaust denial by French historian Henry Rousso. The head of the European Union assembly, calling for Gollnisch to be prosecuted, told a news conference that the remarks "revolt us, insult us, shock us". "Mr Gollnisch, be aware that I'm shamed to have heard a European deputy put in doubt by such scandalous affirmations the existence of the gas chambers ... One cannot deny history, one cannot contest the Holocaust," Borrell said. "I hope that you will be answerable to justice for these calumnies."  The controversy sparked by Gollnisch recalls a huge row that erupted in 1987 when National Front leader Jean-Marie Le Pen described the gas chambers as a "detail of history".

[Western democracy is turning into a Jewish potentate. The real issue in the following article isn't whether the Holocaust happened or not. Nor is it right- or left-wing politics. The real issue is that in Western society a special interest group has managed to build a system that will throw you in jail if you say something they don't like. You can say God doesn't exist. You can say Jesus and Mohammad were squirrels. No problem. So what is sacred? Understand what we have here: the acid test of any country's power structure is what its taboos are. The world Jewish Lobby is configuring a political universe where its beliefs, world view, Zionist activism, and censorial policies are held to be beyond reproach. Expect to be going to jail soon if you criticize Israel, whereas in the "undemocratic" Muslim and Arab world free speech on the subject of Jews and Israel is still sanctioned -- at least until this Judeocentric-style "democracy" can be forcibly installed on the Arab world at the point of a machine gun.]
France Mulls Ways to Sanction Holocaust Denier,
Haaretz (Israel), October 14, 2004
"France is checking whether it can take legal action against a leading far-right politician who has questioned whether the Nazis used gas chambers in the Holocaust, Justice Minister Dominique Perben said on Thursday. The University of Lyon has urged education officials to suspend Bruno Gollnisch, a professor of Japanese there, for questioning how the gas chambers were used in the wartime slaughter of the Jews and querying the death toll. The president of the European Parliament, Josep Borrell, also called for legal action against Gollnisch, a European deputy who is also the number two man in the National Front party of extreme-right leader Jean-Marie Le Pen. "Mr Gollnisch's comments are absolutely unacceptable," Perben told France Info radio in announcing the probe. "In an affair like this, I think the response should not only be penal ... but it should be political and possibly also professional." France anti-racism laws have made denying the Holocaust a crime, punishable by fines and even prison. Gollnisch, who is known as the intellectual of the controversial party, said on Monday he recognized that the gas chambers had existed but thought historians still had to decide whether they were actually used to kill Jews. He called for an open debate about whether the total number of Jews killed in the Holocaust was actually 6 million as stated. He also questioned the objectivity of leading historian Henry Rousso, who is investigating charges that certain Lyon lecturers were denying the Holocaust, by calling him "a Jewish personality" ... At his Monday news conference, Gollnisch also said that serious historians no longer accepted that all the judgements of the post-war Nuremberg Trials of leading Nazis were fair. "I don't know if I will lose my chair as professor of Japanese or even be put in prison for saying that, but I stand by it," he added."

[MORE JEWISH EFFORTS AT WORLD CENSORSHIP. JTR Contributor's Comment: "Whenever you hear a Jew use the word "hate," just translate that into "truth" or "true" or "tell the truth" or "free" or "freedom" or "defend freedom" or "defender of freedom/truth." So when a Jew says "fight hate on the web" it really means "fight truth on the web." "People who hate" means "People who tell the truth" or "People who defend freedom." "Hate speech" means "true speech" or "free speech." "Spreading hate" means "spreading truth." "Hate crimes squad" becomes "Truth crimes squad." "Cyber hate" means "Cyber truth" or "Cyber freedom." "No sanctuary for hate" means "No sanctuary for truth." "Explosion of hate on the Internet" means "Explosion of truth/freeedom on the Internet." And so on." Added Note: Irwin Cotler is a Jewish Zionist activist. And the Calgary Herald is part of the Jewish Asper family's media dynasty in Canada that has caused such outrage among Canadian journalists.]
Feds to fight hate on web, says Cotler,
by Elizabeth Thompson, Calgary Herald (CanWest News Service) October 12, 2004
"The federal government is preparing to introduce a sweeping round of legislation that would combat the "explosion" of hate sites on the Internet and outlaw human trafficking, "the new global slave trade," Justice Minister Irwin Cotler says. He also wants to encourage more police departments across Canada to set up their own special hate crimes squads and for those squads to work together more closely and better coordinate their efforts. "We have to send out the message unequivocally, as a government and as part of our shared citizenship and shared values, that our Canada is one in which there will be no sanctuary for hate and no refuge for bigotry," he said in an interview. "We will use all the panoply of remedies to bring that about. Legal remedies, intercultural dialogue, promotion of multiculturalism, anti-discrimination law and policy. A national action plan against racism." This year has seen an increase in "both the incidence and intensity of hate crimes," said Cotler, including the firebombing of the Talmud Torah Jewish day school in Montreal and the torching of a mosque near Toronto. While Cotler says Canada has "the most comprehensive legal regime to combat hate of any comparable democracy," he says Canada can do more -- particularly when it comes to the Internet. "Where in 1995 you had one hate site, today in 2004, 10 years later, we have 5,000 hate sites. You have had an explosion of hate on the Internet." Traditionally, Canadian legislators have been reluctant to tackle Internet content because the web's international nature makes it difficult for any country to enforce its laws. Canada must work in conjunction with other nations, the minister says. In addition to adopting domestic legislation to fight "cyber hate," Cotler said Canada has to ratify the Council of Europe convention on cyber crime as well as its optional protocol with respect to combatting hate. Countries who adhere to the convention enter a framework agreement concerning information sharing and law enforcement creating what Cotler describes as "a culture of human rights to combat a culture of hate."

[The Anti-Defamation League is a false front for growing Israeli fascism and world Judeocentric censorial totalitarianism. Those there who speak of "tolerance" and "fighting prejudice" are hypocrites of almost super-human proportion. The ADL fulfills all Jewish "stereotypes": a coterie of deceitful rich hustlers and skulking backroom propagandists -- buying off everybody left and right -- who enforce dual moral standards (one for Jews and one for everybody else) and whose essence of being is complete Jewish-centeredness and defense of the immoral Jewish homeland: apartheid Israel.]
Nader, ADL chief locked in war of words,
by Uriel Heilman, Jerusalem Post, October 14, 2004
"There's never been much love lost between Ralph Nader, the independent US presidential candidate, and Abraham Foxman, the national director of the Anti-Defamation League. Now the two are sparring again over Israel and the use of the term "anti-Semite." In a letter to Foxman sent Tuesday, Nader ratcheted up his criticism of Israel beyond the remarks he made in June, in which he described the White House and Congress as "puppets" of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. In this week's letter, Nader said that Palestinian prisoners in Israel are detained in a "violent Gulag," that the "Israeli militaristic regime" causes "brutalization and slaughter" of innocent Palestinians, and that Foxman shows serious insensitivity to the "other anti-Semitism" – bigotry against Arabs, a Semitic people. The letter came as part of an exchange between the two prompted by Nader's comments during a radio interview in June in which Nader said that successive American administrations have been "puppets to Israeli military policy." At the time, he also suggested that the pro-Israel lobby in Washington holds hostage US Congressional policy when it comes to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Those comments prompted Foxman, and many Jews, to condemn Nader, who had earned a reputation as a tireless consumer-rights advocate before becoming known as Al Gore's spoiler in the 2000 presidential election. Nader is also an Arab-American, the son of Lebanese immigrants. "There is a line between thoughtful, reasoned, constructive disagreements and offensive hyperbole," Foxman and Barbara Balser, the ADL's national chairman, wrote in a July 2 letter to Nader. "The image of the Jewish State as a 'puppeteer,' controlling the powerful US Congress, feeds into many age-old stereotypes which have no place in legitimate public discourse." Nader responded with a letter of his own on August 5 in which he described the debate in Israel over the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as far more open and fair than the one in the United States. In it, he enclosed a public letter signed by hundreds of Israeli soldiers who refuse to serve in the West Bank and Gaza Strip as evidence that Israel "is dominating, expelling, starving, and humiliating an entire people."

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."

Columbia Abuzz Over Underground Film,
BY JACOB GERSHMAN, New York Sun, October 20, 2004
"At a history class, a professor mockingly tells a female Jewish student she cannot possibly have ancestral ties to Israel because her eyes are green. During a lecture, a professor of Arab politics refuses to answer a question from an Israeli student and military veteran but instead asks the student, "How many Palestinians have you killed?" At a student meeting on the topic of divestment from Israel, a Jewish student is singled out as responsible for death of Palestinian Arabs. Those scenes are described by current and former students interviewed for an underground documentary that is causing a frisson of concern to ripple through the Morningside Heights campus of Columbia University, where the incidents took place. The film, about anti-Israel sentiment at the school, has not yet been released to the public, but it has been screened for a number of top officials of Columbia, and talk of its impact is spreading rapidly on a campus where some students have complained of anti-Israel bias among faculty members. "The movie is shocking," one Columbia senior, Ariel Beery, said ... The film is the creation of the David Project, a 2-year-old group based in Boston that advocates for Israel and is led by the founder of the American Anti-Slavery Group, Charles Jacobs. The David Project, which is refusing to make the film public, has screened it for Barnard College's president, Judith Shapiro, and Columbia's provost, Alan Brinkley, according to sources. Neither Ms. Shapiro nor Mr. Brinkley would return calls seeking comment about the film, though at a meeting in Washington this week with women active in Jewish charitable work the Barnard president is said to have spoken of how emotionally affected she was by the film. With versions at 11 minutes and 25 minutes in playing time, the film consists of interviews with several students who contend that they have felt threatened academically for expressing a pro-Israel point of view in classrooms. One of the scholars discussed most in the film, according to a person who has seen the film, is Joseph Massad, a non-tenured professor of modern Arab politics, who is teaching a course about Middle East nationalism this fall. Mr. Massad, a professor at Columbia's department of Middle East and Asian languages and cultures, has likened Israel to Nazi Germany and has said Israel doesn't have the right to exist as a Jewish state ... Columbia is looking to raise money for an endowed professorship in Israeli studies to make up for what Mr. Bollinger has said is lack of contemporary Israel scholarship at the school."

[JTR contributor's comments:" "The reason that Lubomyr Prytulak has returned to Ukrainian Archive activities after two months of retirement is that the Canadian Human Rights Commission has decided not to dismiss the Canadian Jewish Congress complaint [against his web site, i.e., they wish to censor it because he dares to critique the Jewish/Zionist Lobby], but to deal with it: http://www.ukar.org/chrc/chrc10.html

The best contribution that supporters can make to the Prytulak defense is to request, and to win, links to UKAR on relevant web sites. One result of the initiation of the CHRC proceedings last year was to bring Prytulak out of retirement and to triple UKAR traffic. A hoped-for result of the complaint proceeding to the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal is to expand UKAR traffic tenfold."]

Nope, they're all kosher, just doing nothing but good in this world, working for peace and fighting hate." Added note: If you're a Muslim and you give to a Muslim charity, that's apparently grounds for suspicion by the American government that you're a "terrorist." The key for the Jewish Lobby is to destroy any Islamic movement in the West, to paralyze it the way they've neutered Christianity as a potent socio-political force.]
U.S. Rejects Pleas for Muslim Charity List,
By WAYNE PARRY, Newsday, October 18, 2004
"The U.S. government rejected a request Monday from Muslim groups to draw up a list of Islamic charities to which they could donate without being suspected of terrorist ties. Muslim groups said they fear giving to a charity that might make them look suspicious to the FBI. The holy month of Ramadan begins this week, and Muslims are required to give to the poor during that period. "If the government knows there are charities that are misleading the American Muslim community, it's their obligation to help protect these innocent Americans," said Sohail Mohammed, a lawyer for the New Jersey-based American Muslim Union. The request was rejected by the Justice Department, which called it impossible to fulfill. "Our role is to prosecute violations of criminal law," said spokesman Bryan Sierra. "We're not in a position to put out lists of any kind, particularly of any organizations that are good or bad." Since December 2001, numerous Islamic charities in the U.S. have been raided or shut down by federal investigators, including the Dallas-based Holy Land Foundation; two suburban Chicago-area charities, Global Relief Foundation and Benevolence International; and the Sudan-based Islamic American Relief Agency, which has a chapter in Missouri. None of the raids has led to terrorism-related criminal convictions. Mohamed Younes, president of the American Muslim Union, was disappointed by the Justice Department's response. "We are trying to do the right thing and we asked for a little help," he said. "At least we tried."

[Hamas has no policy to attack Americans. It attacks Israelis in acts of retribution against Israeli state "terrorism" -- a policy that kills, maims, and tortures huge numbers of Palestinian people.

Government Moves to Strip Citizenship from Former Holy Land Foundation Board Member,
by Todd Bensman, CBS-ll News, October 18, 2004
"The Dallas-based office of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has filed a highly unusual civil court motion to strip a wealthy North Texas businessman of his American citizenship and eventually deport him to his native Middle East.CBS-11 News has learned that federal authorities have invoked a rarely-used federal statute – mainly used in past decades to deport former Nazis - to de-naturalize native Palestinian Rasmi Khader Almallah. The government's “Complaint to Revoke Naturalization” claims Almallah paid a woman for a “sham marriage” in 1981 that helped him gain permanent residency and then American citizenship in 1988. But sources tell CBS-11 the motive behind the government effort is Almallah’s long association with the Richardson-based Holy Land Foundation, which the Bush administration shuttered in 2001 and accused of clandestinely providing funds to help the designated terrorist group Hamas deploy suicide bombers against Israeli civilians.Almallah, since remarried, the father of seven U.S.-born children, and the founding owner of the booming 50-store Carpet Mills of America chain, served as a board member of the Holy Land Foundation, according to a 2000 foundation tax return.He has maintained close ties to top foundation officers who the government in July criminally indicted on charges that their fundraising work supported suicide bombings against Israeli citizens. Almallah also has served as an officer of the Islamic Association of Palestine, which has come under federal investigation for alleged – and vigorously disputed – terrorist ties.But Almallah was not among the seven men indicted in Dallas this summer for their Holy Land Foundation fundraising work, and he has not been charged with any crime.Since 9-11, Attorney General John Ashcroft’s Department of Justice has invoked a variety of legal means, short of time-consuming - and politically risky - criminal charges, to remove Middle Easterners suspected of ties to terrorism or its financial infrastructure. The government, for instance, has deported several former Holy Land Foundation employees for immigration law violations in recent years, rather than criminally prosecute them ... Government officials in Dallas have openly acknowledged the Bush administration's use of alternative means to get suspected Middle Eastern terrorists out of the country."

[The Jewish community -- as a political entity -- is corrupt. Not just "Zionists." Note the title of this piece by an African-American Duke University student. It is useless to accuse phantom "Zionists." The root of Zionism is ages-old Jewish neurosis and, increasingly, a Jewish supremacy that is becoming more emphatically totalitarian. Now, note that the author of this article was "the 2003-04 recipient of the [Duke University] Melcher Family Award for Excellence in Journalism for 'Journeys in South Africa,' an article that reflects on his immersion in the lives of two Cape Town families." Beautiful! So the Jews are going to trash this guy as a bigoted "anti-Semite," sure, but how is it going to stick? So maybe the Jewish Wall of Intolerance and ol' Duke are going to have some trouble tearing this guy down: he's both Black and the recipient of Duke's own journalism award earlier this month -- an investigation into South African apartheid. He' doesn't fit the easy kneejerk Jewish stereotype of someone who explicitly criticizes Jews (not just "Zionists"): an illiterate KKK guy living with the alligators on an island in Louisiana with Hitler posters tacked up all over his garage.]
The Jews,
by Philip Kurian, The Chronicle (Duke University), October 18, 2004
"You are not required to complete the work, yet you are not allowed to desist from it. —Pirkei Avot (The Book of Principles), 2:21
Such describes the Jewish concept of Tikkun Olam. Perfecting, preparing or repairing the world: a credo that, to many Jews, prescribes what role they should play in the wider concerns of our society. Judging by the opposition to this past weekend’s Palestine Solidarity Movement conference, however, I cannot help but conclude that the powerful Jewish establishment has distorted the meaning of this age-old teaching. It is well known that Jews constitute the most privileged “minority” group in this country. Among the top 10 universities, Jews enjoy shocking overrepresentation: Only the California Institute of Technology has an undergraduate Jewish population below 10 percent, and four schools have particularly stark Jewish advantages—Harvard (30 percent), Yale (23 percent), UPenn (31 percent) and Columbia (25 percent). Keep in mind that, at best estimate, no more than 3 percent of all Americans are Jewish. In his slim volume The Holocaust Industry: Reflections on the Exploitation of Jewish Suffering (2000), Jewish-American historian Norman Finkelstein argues that American interest in Judaism is “a tribute not to Jewish suffering but to Jewish aggrandizement.” The holocaust label, he says, arose from the real suffering of European Jews during the 1930s and 1940s, in turn giving rise to the Holocaust ideology, distinguished in its capitalization. He documents economic exploitation by this “Holocaust Industry,” which he calls an “outright extortion racket.” Regardless of your political stance or position on the PSM conference, it is impossible to ignore the unprecedented outpouring of pro-Jewish, pro-Israeli support in defiance of free speech at Duke. Jewish alumni, faculty and staff have gone out of their way to lobby Duke to reject the PSM conference, mustering 92,000 signatures for their online petition and denouncing professors who have spoken out in support of free speech, as Duke’s chair of political science Michael Munger can attest. Supposedly apolitical in nature, the Students Against Terror concert, headlined by Sister Hazel, kicked off this weekend’s festivities. The Chronicle reported, “The Freeman Center for Jewish Life funded 90 percent of the $80,000 event through the private donations from parents and alumni.” The Joint Israel Initiative, a coalition of campus Jewish and pro-Israeli groups, coordinated a series of events in opposition to the PSM, at a price tag of $25,000, more than two-and-a-half times what was spent on the conference itself. Four pro-Jewish, full-page advertisements appeared in the Friday, Oct. 15, edition of The Chronicle, with two directly condemning the PSM. We are dealing with a very well-funded and well-organized establishment, indeed.
Granted, I tend to err on the side of complete academic freedom; I would probably let the Ku Klux Klan hold a conference on campus, as long as it could be couched within the framework of serious discussion. But what Jewish suffering—along with exorbitant Jewish privilege in the United States—amounts to is a stilted, one-dimensional conversation where Jews feel the overwhelming sense of entitlement not to be criticized or offended. If the Duke administration had buckled under the influential weight of the Jewish establishment by not allowing the PSM conference, we would be suffering from the Orwellian notion of consciousness, where the only ideas that matter are the ones espoused by the powerful. While Jews undoubtedly lay claim to a long history of racism and genocide that continues across the world today, this characterization does not transport perfectly to the United States. After World War II, overt anti-Semitism gradually subsided, in part because of American response to Hitler’s murderous regime, but largely due to Jewish association with whiteness and the privileges white skin affords. In short, Jews can renounce their difference by taking off the yarmulke. Clearly, this is not a luxury enjoyed by all minority groups. When former President Bill Clinton nominated his first two judges to the Supreme Court, both were Jews. Remarkable in the slightest? No, of course not. But the American public still can’t get over Clarence Thomas’s cultural heritage, after being appointed by Bush 41. To be Jewish is to have the right to move seamlessly between the majority and minority, without constraint. Thus, Jewish-American appropriation of the “oppressed” moniker is disingenuous, belying the reality of America’s social hierarchy. What’s worst is that the “Holocaust Industry” uses its influence to stifle, not enhance, the Israeli-Palestinian debate, simultaneously belittling the real struggles for socioeconomic and political equality faced, most notably, by black Americans. As the world-renowned historian John Hope Franklin mentions, the U.S. decision to authorize federal funding of a holocaust memorial on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.—hallowed ground otherwise reserved for commemorating U.S. history—camouflages this nation’s guilt in our own crimes against humanity: the Native American genocide and slavery."

[How do Jews respond to the above article? Why, they're shocked that anyone can talk to them that way! Truthfully, and not on their knees after walking on the requisite eggshells. Why, everyone knows that Jews are beyond criticism! Anti-Semitism ! Anti-Semitism! Get the student kicked out of school for his lack of groveling before the Perfect Ones!]
The Storm After the Calm. Op-ed termed anti-Semitic shocks Jewish students at Duke after peaceful Palestinian conference,
by Gabrielle Birkner, Jewish Week, October 22, 2004
"Jewish student leaders at Duke University are reeling after an op-ed they are calling brazenly anti-Semitic ran in the school newspaper Monday, a day after the conclusion of the Fourth Annual Conference of the Palestine Solidarity Movement. In the opinion piece, headlined “The Jews,” columnist and Duke senior Philip Kurian called Jews “the most privileged ‘minority’ in this country,” and referred to their “shocking overrepresentation” at top universities. “What Jewish suffering — along with exorbitant Jewish privilege in the United States — amounts to is a stilted, one-dimensional conversation where Jews feel the overwhelming sense of entitlement not to be criticized or offended,” wrote Kurian, 21, who identified himself as black and a Christian. “After World War II,” Kurian went on, “overt anti-Semitism gradually subsided, in part because of American response to Hitler’s murderous regime, but largely due to Jewish association with whiteness and the privileges white skin affords. In short, Jews can renounce their difference by taking off the yarmulke. Clearly, this is not a luxury enjoyed by all minority groups.” Some students said The Chronicle piece was more explosive than anything that happened at or in response to the PSM conference, which remained peaceful as Jewish students organized a coinciding pro-Israel teach-in. The PSM advocates divestment from Israel, an end to Israeli control of the West Bank and Gaza, and the right of return for Palestinian refugees who fled Israel in 1948. While the organization said it supports only nonviolent means to its stated ends, its leaders have refused to condemn terror tactics. “[Kurian’s] op-ed basically had nothing to do with the conference, but with a much more subversive type of anti-Semitism that you see at elite universities like Duke,” said Elissa Lerner, 18, a freshman at the Durham, N.C., university. Lerner, who is Jewish, found Kurian’s op-ed hateful but said she was glad it was published. “It provides an opportunity for people like me to write letters to the editor to expose the piece for what it is,” she said. Karen Hauptman, editor-in-chief of The Duke Chronicle, said the newspaper received dozens of sharply toned letters about the column. On Tuesday, the newspaper published a fevered letter from freshman Judd Fastenberg. “Although Phil Kurian’s flawed column ‘The Jews’ tries to tiptoe around it,” Fastenberg wrote, “he echoes the very idea that has fueled anti-Semitism for decades ... Phyllis Chesler, author of “The New Anti-Semitism: The Current Crisis and What We Must Do About It,” said Kurian’s op-ed was a predictable outcome of Duke’s decision to host the PSM conference. That decision, Chesler said, affirmed the university’s belief that “all speech — including hate speech, including lies — should be welcome at Duke.” “It’s not surprising that a Duke student feels entitled to engage in hate speech against Jews,” she said. “I’m wondering if he’d object to the overrepresentation of Jews who’ve won Nobel Prizes, and if he would personally refuse any of the vaccines or medicines invented by Jewish genius and hard work.” ... In his op-ed, Kurian derided those who attempted to keep the university from playing host to the PSM. “Regardless of your political stance or position on the PSM conference,” he wrote, “it is impossible to ignore the unprecedented outpouring of pro-Jewish, pro-Israeli support in defiance of free speech at Duke. Jewish alumni, faculty and staff have gone out of their way to lobby Duke to reject the PSM conference.” Kurian in a phone interview stood by his story. “There’s a strong Jewish concept of tikkun olam [saving the world],” he said, “and Jews have been among the most vocal advocates for civil rights, but they’ve also exploited their own suffering and delegitimized other groups’ suffering.” Mollie Lurey, 20, coordinator of the Joint Israel Initiative, a coalition of pro-Israel campus groups, said Kurian has undermined her organization’s efforts to show that Duke is a friendly place for Jewish students. “I should hope no one ever has to open the newspaper to find an article called ‘The Blacks’ or ‘The Arabs,’ ” Lurey said. “This is ignorance and arrogance, and I don’t think [Kurian’s views] are representative of the black student population.” [JTR Editor's note: Arrogance? This Jewish woman has the audacity to tell Blacks what they're thinking and she complains about arrogance?] Lurey said a group of Jewish students gathered Monday at the Freeman Center to brainstorm strategies to combat the anti-Semitism Kurian’s article might inspire. She said Jewish campus leaders have set up meetings with school administrators and have solicited the help of the Anti-Defamation League. National ADL director Abraham Foxman in a letter Monday to the Chronicle wrote that “Philip Kurian’s offensive article contains a number of classic stereotypes about Jews including charges of excessive wealth, power and a lack of concern for anyone but themselves. Indeed, if one were to follow the logic of his diatribe against the Jewish community, Jews would not be entitled to all the rights and opportunities available to other Americans because they are rich and powerful.”

[Criticizing Jews is so incredibly rare in public that you get famous for it. Everyone associated with this week's notorious The Jews article at Duke University now faces the Jewish Thought Police which will stop at nothing to silence and destroy free-thought dissent. America today is a Jewish censorial picnic. Note also that the Duke U. president asserts that Jews aren't "susceptible to group definition," as if even Jewish self-definitions are off the charts.]
Duke newspaper column angers Jews,
News 14 Carolina, October 21, 2004
"A columnist for the Duke student newspaper denouncing Jewish opposition to last weekend's Palestinian conference on campus argued Jews use the Holocaust to rebut legitimate criticism. The column by Philip Kurian in Monday's edition of The Chronicle also called Jews "the most privileged 'minority' group in the country." "What Jewish suffering -- along with exorbitant Jewish privilege in the United States -- amounts to is a stilted, one-dimensional conversation where Jews feel the overwhelming sense of entitlement not to be criticized or offended," Kurian wrote By Wednesday evening, more than 100 people had posted messages on The Chronicle's Web site, most of them critical of the column The column was deeply offensive, said Rachael Solomon, student president of the campus' Freeman Center for Jewish Life. Besides statements about the Holocaust, the column mentioned the belief that Jews were over-represented at top universities. Solomon's organization now wants an investigation of The Chronicle to see whether its top editors are fit for their jobs. Others have already called for Karen Hauptman, The Chronicle's student editor, and other editors to resign and for Kurian to give up his column. No resignations are planned, Hauptman said. No one answered the telephone listed to Kurian late Wednesday ... In a letter to the editor Wednesday in The Chronicle, Duke President Richard Brodhead wrote that he was "deeply troubled" by the column. "The column was (headlined), 'The Jews,' as if Jews were susceptible to group definition, and though its author probably did not mean to, it revived stereotypical images that have played a long-running role in the history of anti-Semitism," he wrote. Brodhead's decision to allow the Palestinian Solidarity Movement conference on campus last weekend provoked several weeks of debate on and off campus. More than 90,000 people signed an online petition calling for the conference to be barred from Duke. Jewish groups organized events in response after campus officials refused."

[Here's the kind of crap the president of Duke University had to face from local Jewish narcissists last month:]
Brodhead addresses Jewish students,
by Emily Rotberg, The Chronicle (Duke University) September 9, 2004
"Sophomore Maia Pelleg questioned the president about current institutionalized obstacles for students who wish to study abroad at Israeli universities. Brodhead was unable to answer her query and deferred to the office of Robert Thompson, dean of Trinity College, for further information. Brodhead also could not answer to audience members’ satisfaction when sophomore Nicole Arkin asked about the lack of kosher dining on campus ... Near the end of the evening, Dr. Harold Kudler, associate clinical professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences, challenged Brodhead’s earlier statement that foolish statements will be recognized for their true character. “Not always will a stupid person be declared stupid,” he said. “As the new president, will you be sensitive to the visceral response and the intellectual response by the Jewish community to this conference?” “You ask if I am sensitive to the visceral response—I am,” Brodhead said."

[It's the usual paradigm. For God's sake, the editor of Duke University's The Chronicle, who sanctioned the publishing of Philip Kurian's controversial "The Jews" article, is ALSO Jewish. That's why an article expressly criticizing Jews could ever get published. It's an in-house game, as always. If a non-Jewish editor permitted Kurian's article the Jewish Lobby would have him/her sacked in half an hour. Because the editor is Jewish, she'll take some Tribal heat but float over the Whining Tide.]
Jewish community decries Chronicle,
by Lianna Wyler (The Chronicle - Duke University), October 20, 2004
"Karen Hauptman, editor of The Chronicle and an active member of the Jewish community who served as social vice president of the FCJL [Freeman Center for Jewish Life] student board in 2003-04, said she believes The Chronicle has provided fair and balanced overall news coverage this year and welcomes the opportunity to engage in meaningful dialogue with readers’ concerns."

[We don't know much about Ernst Zundel. All we know is that the Jewish Lobby calls anyone it doesn't like a "Nazi," so we take their accusations with a grain of salt. Zundel has his own web site. Make up your own mind what he is or isn't.]
Canadian court rejects latest appeal of Holocaust denier,
Haaretz (Israel), October 22, 2004
"The Supreme Court of Canada yesterday rejected German Holocaust-denier Ernst Zundel's latest appeal against deportation. Zundel, who has been in a Canadian jail for 18 months facing deportation to Germany, challenged the constitutional validity of the security certificate review process under which he is charged. As is usual in appeal requests, the top court did not provide reasons for its decision. The Supreme Court last month refused to hear Zundel's argument that he's being treated unfairly because some of the evidence remains secret. Zundel faces prosecution in Germany for his neo-Nazi and Holocaust-denying activities. Since the late 1970s he has operated Samisdat Publishing, one of the leading distributors of Nazi propaganda, and is a key content provider for a Web site dedicated to Holocaust denial, the Anti-Defamation League says. Zundel immigrated to Canada in 1958 and lived there until 2001, when he moved to the U.S. He was deported back to Canada in 2003 for immigration violations."

[Saying Hezbollah doesn't have "tolerance" for Jews, the Jewish Lobby, Zionism, and the Zionist-swamped U.S. military is like saying George Washington should have made room in his house for the King of England. Hezbollah is fighting Israeli imperialism. Was the 1776 U.S. revolution run by -- on today's Double Speak terms -- a band of "terrorists?" Yes. One man's "terrorist" is another man's freedom fighter. In a genuine democracy we must be presented with all sides of a political argument and decide for ourselves what is righteous and real. Censorship in the bogus name of "tolerance" is covert fascism.]
Daily Press Briefing, Adam Ereli, Deputy Spokesman,
Washington, DC, October 22, 2004
U.S. State Department
"QUESTION: I have something a little bit off the beaten track, but I think you might have something on Hezbollah TV. There has been a lot written about Hezbollah TV lately and the kind of U.S. concern about its anti-American, anti-Semitic broadcasts, and apparently it's able to be seen in the United States right now. Is there anything the U.S. can do about that, the State Department, for instance? Because the FCC is saying that if the State Department says to shut it down, they'll stop broadcasting it.
MR. ERELI: I'm not sure that's how it works, frankly. Al Manar Television is a TV station in Lebanon, which is broadcast through satellite TV here that is funded and run by Hezbollah, which is a designated terrorist organization. Al Manar Television regularly has programs that perpetuate intolerance and can be viewed as inciteful, but at this point, I'm not in a position to speculate about what steps may or may not be taken as a result of that. I'd say Al Manar Television and its relationship with Hezbollah is something that we note and follow carefully, but I'd leave it at that.
QUESTION: Is there anything the U.S. can do to pressure Lebanon or Syria to stop these broadcasts? Is there anything that's being done on that front?
MR. ERELI: Well, you know we make it very clear to both Syria and Lebanon that we consider Hezbollah a terrorist organization. It has been implicated in terrorist attacks against civilian targets and it has a history of assassination and kidnapping. And we certainly take action by listing it as a Foreign Terrorist Organization; that is designed to isolate and work against that organization. And we consistently call upon countries that provide support to Hezbollah -- Iran and Syria -- to take action that is consistent with their professed policies of not supporting terror."

How the Anti-Defamation League Controls Its Opposition. Case History: 2004 Duke University Palestine Solidarity Conference,
by Charles E. Carlson, We Hold These Truths, October 2004
"The Anti-Defamation League is one of the most aggressive protectors of Jewish and Israeli interests.  Its name is an oxymoron, for the ADL does its work almost exclusively through the practice of defamation and intimidation.  Oddly, its seems bent on protecting tens of millions of professing Christians from finding out that they are actually practicing secular Judaism, or Pharisaism, as Christ called it, and that they irrationally support Israel’s occupation and prison wall agenda in Palestine.  We Hold These Truths and this writer have recently found ourselves a front row center target of an Anti-Defamation League attack. (Link1)  It defamed us to obscure our message from the students, why Judaized Christians are Israel’s most radical cheerleaders. "Christian Zionism" (Judaized Christianity) was to be one of the workshop offerings at the Palestine Solidarity Movement Conference at Duke University, and this writer was asked to be a primary presenter.  But a week before the conference was to take place, the ADL became involved, whereupon the student leaders removed "Christian Zionism" from the agenda and withdrew their invitation for me to participate in the conference There is evidence that the ADL manipulated and probably intimidated the student committees through the Anti-Racist-Action Network (ARA) to remove the one topic that would expose Judaized Christianity, the ADL's primary sacred cow, and the handmaiden of world Zionism.  WHTT’s program reveals how self-defeating it is for professing Christians to carry out world Zionist aims.  This is a good reason for the ADL not to like it ... In order to remove Christian Zionism as a workshop topic, the ADL chose to defame We Hold These Truths and its founder.  It is no surprise to be targeted by the Anti-Defamation League; in fact, we're surprised it took them so long to put WHTT on their front page.  The ADL has mentioned us on its website from time to time; the last time was when we wrote in support of Mel Gibson's film, "The Passion."  ADL President Abe Foxman used to be on our weekly mailing list (we do not know how he got there), but he removed himself some months ago, we are sorry to say. This writer's first experience with the ADL came almost six years ago.  It proved to be a height of arrogance I had not seen before in my years.  I was seated at the head table at a small luncheon and could not help but notice a man across from me, who, during most of the speech, ignored the speaker and even his own lunch, while reading from one of several Journals I had written.  He read intently with undisguised signs of agitation.  I learned from others he was a local lawyer who had signed in under the name of Friedman.  A few nights later, to my surprise, the same Friedman called me at home and introduced himself, explaining he was a volunteer for a national organization whose task it was to watch over the actions of a list of organizations that included newly formed We Hold These Truths.  Friedman identified Grand Canyon University as another of the organizations he monitored, and over which he said, proudly, he had considerable influence, even though he was a Jew and they were a Baptist college.  Friedman then referred to my various articles featured in the Journals he had digested and made this amazing statement that I could never forget: "We can not allow you to continue to print this kind of thing."Friedman was talking about hard copy articles, all of which are still available today on our website.  In them, I had written critically about those who are now called "Christian Zionists" (a term that did not exist then), and U S Foreign aid to Israel.  One was entitled Using Christians to Make War.  Another was The Warmakers’ Attack on Religious Fundamentalism ("Warmakers" being a synonym then for what are today's Neo‑Cons).  Others were America's First War of Aggression (Iraq 1991), Missionaries, Mercenaries, Missiles and Money, the Untold Story of the War on the Children of Sudan, and One Nation Under Israel, an exposé of Israeli influence over our Congress.Friedman's words made it clear that by "we," he meant the unnamed organization that I learned the next day was the Anti-Defamation League, and that his manner meant he considered it within his power to prevent me from writing, though he never suggested how.  He seemed to fully expect me to comply with his suggestion, and repeated more than once, "We can not allow you to continue to print this kind of thing."I offered to make factual corrections of any untrue statements Mr. Friedman or his organization could find but told him I did not feel like giving up my work, as he suggested.  Mr. Friedman responded that they had no interest in editing my work.  He even called a second time, again at night, to see if I had changed my mind.  This is terrorism, ADL style.  Surveillance and confrontation followed by veiled intimidation, is how it starts."

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."

[The massive censorial Jewish Lobby is trying to hammer a courageous anti-Israel professor at Columbia University.]
Please sign the petition in defense of Professor Joseph Massad:
http://www.petitiononline.com/jmassad/petition.html
"Dear President Bollinger, We, professors, scholars, teachers and students at universities world-wide are shocked by the slanderous campaign long launched in the New York media against our colleague Assistant Professor Joseph Massad. Conducted at a time when, following September 11, basic academic and political freedoms have been increasingly weakened, when individuals speaking up and voicing their dissent have been personally threatened and when Middle East Studies have come under attack, this campaign is fed by false and baseless accusations on the part of self-appointed individuals and organizations who claim for themselves a legitimacy or a representativity they never gained. More importantly, it participates in a massive accumulation of means of intimidation and harassment aimed at teachers and intellectuals, and at young scholars whose professional future is even more fragile due to their unprotected status as non-tenured faculty. These means include the use of threats by donors of financial retributions against the university, calls for the dismissal of an academic colleague based solely on political rumors and, most alarmingly, the intervention of a member of Congress with ambitions for higher office. The attacks come from sources who have no role to play in making assessments about academic matters such as professional standing or tenure decisions."

Defending Massad,
by Juan Cole, Juan Cole (University of Michigan), October 25, 2004
"Those who care anything for freedom of speech and academic integrity should please rise to the defense of Professor Joseph Massad at Columbia University. A concerted campaign has been gotten up against him by the American Likud, aimed at getting him fired............. In the meantime, I urge academics and others to boycott the United States Institute for Peace this year, as long as extremist ideologue Daniel Pipes serves on it. Bush put him on it despite the Senate's refusal to confirm him. Pipes is leading the charge to have US academics censored for daring speak out against Ariel Sharon's odious predations in Palestine. Sharon's state terrorism and expansionism is endangering both Israel and the United States, and puts both Jewish Americans and other Americans at unnecessary risk. Those who attempt to stop criticism of Sharon are in essence giving aid and comfort to extremists of all stripes, who benefit from polarization. In parlous times like the post-9/11 environment, demagogues grow powerful and American values are endangered. Massad is the canary in the mine shaft of American democracy."

French lecturer suspended for doubting Holocaust,
Jerusalem Post, October 27, 2004
"A far-right leader has been suspended from teaching for one month at a French university for allegedly making remarks that cast doubt on the Holocaust. Guy Lavorel, president of Jean Moulin University in the southern city of Lyon, said in a statement that Bruno Gollnisch's suspension would take effect Friday. The measure is not disciplinary and "respects the presumption of innocence," the statement said. The purpose of the suspension was to avoid "the risk" of any further problems while Gollnisch's case is being considered. A disciplinary hearing was to follow to determine whether further action is merited, the statement said. Gollnisch, who teaches law and Japanese at the university, also known as Lyon III, reportedly cast doubt on the impartiality of a report on Holocaust denial by the historian Henry Rousso. Gollnisch was quoted at a press conference earlier this month as saying "historians might question the number of deaths," and "it is up to historians to decide" on the existence of the gas chambers."

Shutting Down Cyber-Terror,
by Rachel Ehrenfeld, Front Page magazine, October 21, 2004
"In the War on Terrorism, the terrorists may have an unusual ally: American internet service providers (ISPs). U.S.-based ISPs provide web-hosting for terrorists ranging from Hamas and Hizbullah to Palestinian Jihad. This cyber-fifth column is illegal, can be prosecuted, and must be shut down if we hope to stop Islamic fundamentalists from winning the hearts and minds of a generation of their young.The swift action taken last month by the Colorado-based ISP Level3 and the Virginia-based ISP Network Solution prove that this can be done. After being alerted, both ISP’s tracked and shut down Hamas and Hizbollah websites. Governments can take action, too. Last week, the British government, responding to the U.S. request under the Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty between the two countries, ordered the closure of 20 media websites in 17 countries that advocated terrorism. U.S. government efforts to punish those who provide terrorists with “expert advice or assistance” for operating websites was denounced by Arsalan Iftikhar, the legal director for the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), as “open[ing] the floodgates to really marginalizing a lot of the free speech that has been a hallmark of the American legal and political system.” Yet, our war against the plague of Islamist fundamentalism is unlikely to succeed as long as its most virulent organs of communication are allowed to operate freely on the internet and on TV, inciting violence for jihad. Currently, anyone can purchase web-hosting services without providing any real personal information aside from a valid credit card number ...
