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 ... In response to reports that Network Solutions is providing services to Palestinian Islamic Jihad (palestineway.com), a current customer wrote to the company to complain.  A company representative responded, “Network Solutions has no responsibility or duty to police the rights of trademark owners concerning domain names.”  This response sidesteps the issue, which is that an American company is providing services to a designated terrorist organization (or individual). The Network Solutions representative added that “If the domain owner in question is conducting criminal activity we would ask you to defer to either the police or the proper authorities” – a strange comment, considering the fact that the company is the one conducting activity in violation of U.S. laws and regulations that prohibit any support to terrorists, including selling services to, and receiving money directly or indirectly from designated terrorists, or their representatives. ... In addition to the Mutual Legal Assistance Treaties, Congress should also ratify the Council of Europe's Convention on Cyber Crime. Clearly, no convention will not stop states that support terrorism from facilitating terrorists websites and television broadcasting, but limiting their operations and making it more difficult for them, would make a difference. Allowing these websites and TV broadcasts to operate, allegedly to be monitored by the intelligence community, allows the Islamists’ hate propaganda to continue poison the minds of millions worldwide, while the terrorists go on killing."

[In-house Jewish muck-chucking. The ADL makes a mockery of everything, including its inane policing of the English language. The word "Nazi" is of course a sacred ADL provenance, reserved only for the holy Holocaust So even when a couple rabbis use the term to call Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon a "Nazi" (which is close to what he is) the ADL screams it's not kosher. Of course these two right-wing rabbis are probably close to being Nazis too, and the propagandistic ADL itself would do Goebbels proud. So we've got a roomful of Jewish totalitarians arguing over who among them is the "Nazi," and whether that term isn't copywritten by the ADL. The Jewish Lobby scam is stretched so thin it's starting to fall apart. ]
ADL Condemns Rabbis' Remark Calling Israeli Prime Minister 'Nazi Collaborator',
Anti-Defamation League, October 26, 2004...
"The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) is appalled that two rabbis associated with the Chabad Movement called for Prime Minister Ariel Sharon to be tried for "cooperating with the Nazis." In a letter to Israeli Attorney General Menahem Mazus, rabbis Shalom Volpe from Israel and Yekutiel Rap from New York called for Sharon to be tried in court under the "Nazis and Nazi Collaborators Law" for, among other things, cooperating "with the Nazis when the Knesset and the government plan to deport thousands of Jews from their homes in order to transfer the property to Nazi organizations ... Comparing the Prime Minister of the State of Israel to a Nazi collaborator is not just offensive and a perversion of history.  It plays into the hands of Israel's enemies who often use the very same comparison to discredit Israel's rightful and moral place among the nations."

Depths of bigotry at Columbia,
[Editorial], New York Daily News, October 28, 2004
"The evidence that Columbia University classrooms are infected by a culture of anti-Semitism and anti-Israeli bigotry grows ever stronger. On film and in person yesterday, students described an intimidating atmosphere in which professors treat Jews with scorn and insist on adherence to the view that Israel is evil. The students' accounts at a screening of "Columbia Unbecoming" were shocking. An Israeli Army veteran said Prof. Joseph Massad demanded to know how many Palestinians he had killed. Another student quoted Massad telling a class, "The Palestinian is the new Jew and the Jew is the new Nazi," and "I will not have someone in this class who denies Israeli atrocities." A third Jewish student, discussing Israel's right to exist, said Prof. George Saliba told her, "You have no claim to the land of Israel. You have no voice in this debate. You have green eyes. You're not a Semite. I have brown eyes. I'm a Semite." Imagine a professor saying a student could not discuss slavery because his skin was not dark enough. The professor would be fired, tenure or no. A fourth student reported that when he asked his language professor how to use the verb "prevent" in Arabic, the professor wrote on the board, "Israelis prevent ambulances from entering refugee camps." Others described anti-Semitic caricatures being plastered on the walls of the language lab and posters advertising an Israeli film festival on campus being defaced with swastikas. Leaders of The David Project, the activist group that produced the film, said they also had interviewed 10 faculty members, who declined to appear on film out of fear. Tenured professors said that to express pro-Israeli views is to commit professional suicide, while nontenured professors feared for their jobs, the filmmakers said. Massad did not return calls, and Saliba declined to comment. Both are members of Columbia's Department of Middle Eastern and Asian Languages and Cultures, which has been the locus of sentiments of these kind for years. Complaints were widespread enough that University President Lee Bollinger asked a committee on free speech earlier this year to look into academic bullying on campus. Somehow, it was unable to turn up claims of bias or intimidation. Well, now they're staring Bollinger right in the face. Yesterday, he responded as any upstanding, right-thinking academic would: He promised to investigate and to institute a process for students to air grievances. How enlightened of him! How little! How late!"

Help! Write letters in support of Dr. Derek Summerfield's piece published in the British Medical Journal,
Palestine Monitor, October 2004
"We need your help in writing letters to the ‘rapid response’ section of the British Medical Journal. Dr. Derek Summerfield, who was here in March 2004 visiting us at the Institute of Community and Public Health, Birzeit University, has just had a piece published in the British Medical Journal on Palestine. The onslaught was enormous, many hate males to him and responses to the BMJ that we need to address. Unlike the Lobby, we are very few here who are able to access journals, and are organized with enough material and other support to be able to respond as the Lobby does."

Personal Views. Palestine: the assault on health and other war crimes,

[World Jewish censorial fascism steps into gear:]
Israel slams UK medical journal,
by Jeremy Last, Jerusalem Post, October 31, 2004
"The official publication of the British medical profession has come under fire over an article which claims IDF soldiers regularly shoot children "in situations of minimal or no threat." The opinion piece, "Palestine: The Assault on Health and Other War Crimes," by psychiatry professor Derek Summerfield, was published in the weekly British Medical Journal on October 16. The journal is sent to more than 100,000 doctors and trainee medical professionals throughout the UK, all of whom are members of the British Medical Association. In the article, described as "inflammatory" by the Israeli Embassy, Summerfield vehemently attacked Israel's conduct in the territories and claimed the "pro-Israel lobby" uses accusations of anti-Semitism against critics of Israel in a "morally corrupt way." Summerfield, an honorary senior lecturer at the Institute of Psychiatry in London, wrote: "Clearly, soldiers are routinely authorized to shoot to kill children in situations of minimal or no threat. These statistics attract far less publicity than suicide bombings, atrocious though these are too."Attacking the construction of Israel's "grotesque" West Bank separation barrier, he added: "The real purpose of the wall is permanently to lock more than 50 illegal Israeli settlements into Israel proper. This is expansive, aggressive colonization." "We found Derek Summerfield's article appalling, highly biased, inaccurate, and inflammatory," embassy spokesman Shuli Davidovitch said. "We were concerned that he only briefly mentioned Palestinian suicide bombings, with no mention that the victims are Israelis and failed to elucidate the reason behind the construction of the security barrier. "We overwhelmingly reject the false accusation that Israel ever authorizes the shooting of children. We would expect such a well-respected and professional journal not to be politicized and to concentrate on its medical agenda." The article attracted numerous responses on the BMJ Web site, where it was also published, the majority of which attacked Summerfield. Dr. Daniel Ellis, representative of the London Jewish Medical Society to the Board of Deputies of British Jews, called on the editor to resign. He said: "How can the BMJ print an article containing such a load of tripe that is clearly not evidence based." A group of prominent doctors, including fertility expert and television personality Lord Robert Winston, have vowed to complain to the journal's editorial board. "We are making formal complaints to the BMJ about it," Winston, who has become well known in the UK for his BBC documentaries on the human body, said. "I don't think it is an appropriate thing to be written, but we will sort it out." However, BMJ deputy editor Jane Smith defended the publication, saying the article was clearly marked as opinion and said the journal does not want to stop debate. "It appeared in our personal view slot, and it is therefore not a scientific article," she said. "The medical consequences of conflict are a legitimate subject for a medical journal to cover. The BMJ has not got a line, but we are not trying to suppress debate."

Jewish joke no laughing matter,
by John Masanauskas, Herald Sun (Australia), November 3, 2004
"An anti-Semitic joke by a car salesman has led to an anti-racism session for the company's entire sales staff at Melbourne's Jewish Holocaust centre. The centre, which includes a museum to nazi victims, has set up a scheme to help firms fight racism in workplaces. The centre's education director Bernard Korbman said the idea arose after the owner of a car dealership contacted him with a staff problem. Mr Korbman said a salesman offended a Jewish customer after the buyer said he didn't need finance organised for the car. "The crack was, 'You people don't need finance, ha, ha, ha'," he said. Mr Korbman said the salesman protested that the customer had no sense of humour, "but it was suggested he go to the Holocaust centre to see Jewish sensitivities to certain things". Mr Korbman, who wouldn't name the company for confidentiality reasons, said all staff attended the centre for an education program. They were shown a video about the Holocaust and spoke to survivors about their wartime experiences. Mr Korbman said the employees were told how unprecedented the Holocaust was and why Jews were sensitive about anti-semitism."

French Muslims fight Jewish group's bid to oust leaders,
Haaretz (Israel), November 5, 2004
"One of France's largest Muslim organizations yesterday rejected charges of anti-Semitism brought by a U.S.-based Jewish group seeking legal action to replace its leadership with more moderate Muslims. Fouad Alaoui, secretary general of the powerful Union of French Islamic Organizations (UOIF), denied his group was anti-Jewish and accused the Simon Wiesenthal Center of wanting to block the integration of Muslims into French society. The Paris office of the Los Angeles-based Wiesenthal Center, which combats anti-Semitism worldwide, has urged France to investigate links between the UOIF and pro-Palestinian groups it says collect money for Hamas. "I defy anyone to prove the UOIF has anti-Semitic positions," said Alaoui, whose group - which is popular with disaffected Muslim youths in France - is said to be close to the fundamentalist Muslim Brotherhood ... The Wiesenthal Center's Paris office last week urged the government "to launch an inquiry leading to the dismantling and possible condemnation of this organization's current leadership and its replacement by more moderate voices of French Islam' ... The Wiesenthal Center's initiative was the latest accusation against Islamic preachers or groups popular with youths in France's 5-million-strong Muslim minority."

[It's all turning into something from some Science Fiction horror movie. We see a lot of outrageous stories around, but this one really ranks high. The state of Israel is actually setting itself up as a world Thought Police, literally, per the Holocaust (and maybe further items in the future). If you -- anywhere on earth -- voice criticism of anything the Jewish state doesn't like, it may soon be instituting national laws to try you there as a criminal. Not only is it fascistic in its own land, it imagines it can catch you anywhere. How does it go? "First they came for the 'Holocaust deniers.' Then they came for the critics of Jewish tribalism. Then they came for the critics of Israel. Then they came for anyone who didn't kneel when a Jew passed. Then they came for everybody else. And when I looked around for aid when they came for me, there was no one left to help me."]
The long arms of Rabbi Elyashiv and of the Knesset,
By Shahar Ilan, Haaretz (Israel), November 4, 2004
"The founder of Degel Hatorah, Rabbi Eliezer Menachem Shach, the third anniversary of whose death is marked this week, scrupulously respected the American Diaspora. When he explained his position, according to which territorial concessions should be made to save Jewish lives, he noted that "without the help of the United States, we would not be able to survive even one month on our own, and all those who speak so arrogantly, that we, we, we will be victorious, are despised by the Lord." Against this background it was more than surprising when Shach's successor, Rabbi Yosef Shalom Elyashiv, last week voiced the opinion that "it seems Bush is a friend of Israel and [American Jews] should vote for him." The man who asked the rabbi was David Morgenstern, a Bush activist in Israel. This is not just any foreign intervention in the American presidential elections. In these elections, many Haredi ultra-Orthodox Jews who live in Israel and have American citizenship will be voting for the first time. Some of them are voting in crucial states. The possibility that the votes of these Haredim will tip the scales would certainly have deterred Shach from intervening. A source who is very familiar with Shach's attitude said yesterday that Elyashiv's statement "seems to contradict everything Shach taught." Prof. Menahem Friedman, a researcher of the Haredi population, said Elyashiv's order attests to "a feeling of security and power that stems from the Haredim being citizens of a sovereign state. They feel the Zionist state has redeemed them. They no longer feel they have to be so cautious about not annoying the gentiles." Friedman says Elyashiv's statement is evidence of, among other things, the tough leadership crisis in Haredi Jewry in the U.S., which required guidance from the outside. A source close to Elyashiv responded that "it is not an order, but rather a suggestion." The source said there is no fear the statement will cause anti-Semitism, as Elyashiv voiced support for the Republican candidate, while most American Jews vote for the Democrats. The fact that this is no simple matter is also evident in the response by Knesset member Moshe Gafni (United Torah Judaism). "I have no idea," said Gafni. "I haven't delved into it' ... Israeli law allows people to be tried in Israel for several types of crimes committed beyond its borders - Nazis and their cohorts, for example, terrorists who harmed Israelis or Jews, or Israelis who broke the law abroad. There is now doubt, however, that the passing of the bill initiated by MK Arieh Eldad (National Union) and which is in an advanced stage - being prepared for second and third readings in the Knesset Constitution, Law and Justice Committee - will vastly extend Israeli legal jurisdiction. The bill calls for any Holocaust denier to be tried in Israel. In most countries in the world there is no prohibition on denying the Holocaust. One of Eldad's reasons for submitting the bill was effectively to create a deterrent for the citizens of those countries too. "What I want is that if a Holocaust denier publishes a book in England, he will be considered a criminal in Israel," explained Eldad to a meeting of the committee. He clarified that even if no one is tried, it will be sufficient that deniers know they cannot come to Israel. It is reasonable to assume Eldad's bill would not have reached such an advanced stage were it not for staunch support from Holocaust survivor Justice Minister Tommy Lapid. The ministerial committee on legislation, which Lapid heads, decided to support the bill and thus granted it coalition support. Lapid told Haaretz that he feels denying the Holocaust "is a clearly neo-Nazi crime. Anyone involved in this belongs to the group of criminals whom our arm must reach anywhere in the world. This is essential even if the law remains declarative. We will not hunt them, but they should know that they are on our list of criminals. I am very satisfied and happy that this will be entering our law books' ... Committee chairman Michael Eitan (Likud) said caution must be exercised against zealousness, making the subject itself ridiculous."I feel a bit uncomfortable with this," said Eitan, "because I do not believe this law will be useful forever." This, however, did not prevent him from announcing that he would promote the bill within three weeks, "unless the Foreign Ministry has second thoughts on the matter."

Childish logic behind ban on Nazi dolls,
by Ian Robinson, Calgary Sun, November 7, 2004
"Dolls depicting members of the German S.S. Totenkopf Division have been pulled off store shelves across North America because ... because ... well ... because Nazis are bad and evil. This is not exactly a news flash to most of us, although I'm pretty sure at the time there were Democrats in the U.S. who were sure that if we just gave sanctions more time and let the UN handle it, everything would be all right. The doll -- sorry, I keep forgetting the politically correct term is "action figure," because guys don't like to be seen playing with dolls -- is part of a series of Second World War figures that include American soldiers and those from other German units. But some people find these dolls offensive because the Totenkopf Division was originally formed as a unit of concentration camp guards which, I suppose, makes them even worse than your regular, run-of-the-mill Nazi. Plus, they committed numerous atrocities against enemy combatants. Nobody can contend that these guys should be considered a role model for our children. Leigh Poirier, director of the Canadian Toy Testing Council, said her group wouldn't even evaluate a toy like this "due to its negative nature. It doesn't portray positive play for children. Our mandate is to encourage that." A couple of things are going on here. The first is that people are morons with too much time on their hands. How small has your life become when you begin protesting dolls ... sorry, action figures? Or devoting your life to telling little kids they can't play with something? Secondly, there are those who mistake the symbol for the thing itself ... Further, there are a lot of kids -- mostly little boys -- who like to play out the conflict between good and evil with their toys. My son spends a great deal of time assembling armies of robots that do battle with one another. When I was a kid, at night, on TV, I watched Rat Patrol, 12 O'Clock High and Combat, all shows set during the war. I had toy soldiers. Half of them were Allied soldiers from the Second World War. The other half were German soldiers. There was also a large, sandy area near where we lived where we dug trenches and bunkers and, with our politically incorrect toy guns, also played war... The play engaged us on a moral level, as well as being just plain fun. To repeat: We knew who the bad guys were. And I'd suggest that today, the bad guys are the ones trying to stand between some little kid and his toys."

Nazi dolls pulled from store,
WBNS-10TV, November 2004
"Virgin Megastores is apologizing for selling dolls portraying members of a Nazi combat division that was first established to guard concentration camps.The dolls are part of a World War Two series made by Plan-B Toys of Groveport, Ohio. Holocaust survivors and the Canadian Jewish Congress complained about their sale at a store in Vancouver, British Columbia.In a written statement, Virgin Megastores says the dolls depicting members of the Totenkopf  SS Division are no longer being stocked in the Vancouver store. It's unclear whether other stores in the Canadian chain are still selling the dolls."

[Everything going on today is a struggle against Jewish "values," but Jewish values reign supreme -- at least via Israel -- on both sides of the American political road. Democrat or Republican. It is a grotesque paradox. On one hand, the Jewish community largely despises the Bush government because it proclaims "Christian values," and Jewish tradition is always aimed to subvert and destroy that. On the other hand, the Bush administration runs a brutal domestic war against the American poor and the government itself has been coopted by Jewish neo-cons who run American foreign policy. These Judeocentric bigots have completely subverted genuine "Christian" values for a recklessly brutal policy of killing anyone in the Middle East who stands in the way Israel. Judeocentric American foreign policy also obsessively fights "terrorism" (i.e., Islamic and Arab liberation movements, which are ALL opposed to Israeli racism). American Christians, subject to Zionist colonialism and service to the Israeli state, have completely lost what "Christian values" are. Murdering Arabs (Palestinian or Iraqi) who resist invasion and occupation isn't the Jesus way, no matter how you false front it. Read below how a regional Anti-Defamation League director tells it: the fundamental efforts of the ADL are to fight those who oppose apartheid Israel and to crush Christianity.]
Support for Bush on moral values has many Jewish officials worried,
by Ron Kampeas, Jewish Telegraphic Agency, November 9, 2004
"In election exit surveys conducted by the American Jewish Committee, Jews who voted for the Massachusetts senator on Nov. 2 consistently cited the Democrats’ position on church-state separation. Now, President Bush’s claim that he has a mandate from the 51 percent of voters who chose him has many Jewish officials worried. They worry especially that a plurality of Bush voters — 22 percent — cited “moral values” as the primary reason for their votes. Such moral values include opposition to abortion rights, a greater role for religion in government and opposition to gay marriage. “The message that the Christian right think the election is a success for them has caught people’s attention,” said Hannah Rosenthal, executive director of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, an umbrella body for Jewish community relations councils nationwide. “Whether or not it really is a success, their proclamation that they have increased the power has caused a great deal of discomfort to the community. Certainly, there has been no lack of preening by some Christian leaders. “Christian Evangelicals Made the Major Difference in the 2004 Presidential Election” was the headline of a post-election release from the Christian Coalition, a massive lobby group that opposes gay marriage and abortion. Rich Galen, a strategist for the Republicans, told the BBC this week that “red-state” Americans felt left out of the traditional power centers, and expressed their frustration with their vote. “When people say values, I think it is it is an uncomfortableness with what I like to call the Upper West Side of Manhattan and Hollywood being the arbiters of what is right and what is wrong,” he said. That triumphalism may presage a stronger push to bring Christianity into the public square, and many Jewish officials — especially those in the red states — are ready for a backlash. “People are questioning where the line is,” said Deborah Lauter, regional director for the Anti-Defamation League in Georgia. “There has been an increase in stealth evangelism. We’re seeing it everywhere.” Lauter says that when she trades battle stories with other regional directors, the others deal primarily with anti-Israel activism, while much of her work has to do with stemming Christian influence."

Anti-Defamation League Offers Schools Guidance for Negotiating the 'December Dilemma',
Yahoo! News, November 9, 2004
"Each December schools and teachers are confronted with the question of how to approach the holidays without favoring one religious faith over another or making some students feel uncomfortable because their religious background is different from others. To help negotiate this "December dilemma," the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) provides public schools and government institutions with materials and information on how to keep public recognition of the December holidays constitutionally permissible. "More than any other time of year, December poses a unique challenge for public schools and government institutions," said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National director. "We want schools to understand the guidelines and to know that there is nothing wrong with acknowledging the December holidays so long as it is done with sensitivity, with respect, and always with an understanding of the importance of the separation of church and state." With the December holidays rapidly approaching and with Hannukah coming much earlier than Christmas this year (the first day of Hannukah falls on Dec. 8), ADL began its annual outreach to public schools and institutions earlier this year, with letters going out to school districts and government institutions and an updated online guide, The December Dilemma: December Holiday Guidelines for Public Schools, made available at http://www.adl.org/religious_freedom . Some of the matters highlighted and explained in detail by ADL include:
-- The difference between practicing religion and teaching about religion;
-- Guidelines for holiday assemblies, concerts and other public school activities where religious themes or music may be performed;
-- Choosing appropriate holiday symbols to decorate school grounds;
-- Choosing appropriate holiday activities;
-- Understanding what can -- and cannot -- be displayed on city property.
In letters sent to school districts nationwide and distributed through ADL's 30 regional offices, the League emphasizes the need for schools to be cautious in how they choose to employ religious symbols and teach about the holidays, and offers suggestions to help "create a school environment that celebrates diversity by respecting different points of view concerning religion." The general rule, the letter explains: "When a school does choose to acknowledge the December holidays, it is essential that the school must never appear to endorse religion over non-religion or one particular religious faith over another." Likewise, in a letter to government institutions and town officials responsible for holiday displays, ADL offers guidance on the placement of religious displays on public property. The letter comes with an easy-to-use chart, "Quick Guide to Religious Displays," explaining which types of displays are acceptable and not acceptable during the Holiday season."

Jewish org: Rye discriminates,
By Matt Kwong and Jordan Press, The Eyeopener, November 9, 2004
"A leading Jewish organization has labeled Ryerson discriminatory, but university officials say that's a mistake.On Friday, the Montreal Gazette reported that B' nai Brith Canada listed Ryerson as a university that doesn't protect Jewish students from discrimination in the classroom. B'nai Brith alleges Jewish students hide their views on the Middle East and the war on terror out of fear that they will offend their professors and get low grades. University spokesperson Bruce Piercey said Ryerson respects Jewish students' rights and that B'nai Brith told him that Ryerson's listing, was a mistake. Concordia and York were also listed. Piercey said if B'nai Brith has a problem with Ryerson, "they can pick up the phone and call us." Ryerson President Claude Lajeunesse echoed those sentiments. "They told us that it was a mistake and we should not have been included with that, and we do believe it was a mistake," Lajeunesse said. "Everybody makes mistakes. I felt that this was one that was particularly irritating." Hillel of Greater Toronto, which represents Jewish students on campuses across the city, said listing Ryerson will hurt the school's reputation with some members of the Jewish community ... B'nai Brith spokesperson Karen Lazar wouldn't confirm that the mention was a mistake. She said students had complained about Ryerson and her organization will be keeping an eye on the school. Lazar said B'nai Brith is not targeting anyone; schools are targeting Jewish students. However, Hillel at Ryerson hasn't heard of anything like that and was caught off-guard with the report. "Usually you would think students would come to Hillel. It (the report) totally shocked me," said David Goldberg, an executive with Hillel."

Word of the dismissal came a day after CBS apologized to viewers for breaking into "CSI: NY," one of its top-rated shows, on Wednesday night. "An overly aggressive CBS News producer jumped the gun with a report that should have been offered to local stations for their late news. We sincerely regret the error," the network said in a statement on Thursday. The network, owned by Viacom Inc., declined comment on a report of the dismissal posted on the Web site of trade publication Broadcasting & Cable. But a network source told Reuters that CBS fired the producer who decided to break into "CSI" with a report from "Up to the Minute" anchor Melissa McDermott. According to the source, the producer failed to follow standard procedures that require a senior CBS News executive to be consulted before interrupting regular programming. The fact Arafat already had been reported near death for several days also figured in the network's decision. The source said the producer disregarded explicit, advance instructions that breaking news of Arafat's death -- if it occurred during prime time -- was to be reported with a news "crawl" at the bottom of the screen." [Don't believe there's a politic to this? Too far-fetched? Jewish mogul Laurence Tisch bought CBS in the 1980s (he doesn't own it now, it's switched Jewish hands). Here's what Don Hewitt (head of CBS's 60 Minutes, and also Jewish) had to say about the Tisch era: "What really disturbed me, and I told it to him, was that he was, in addition to our chairman, our publisher. And with that position came an obligation to put one's personal political views aside for the sake of fair and unbiased coverage. Tisch never understood this concept, particularly when it came to the Middle East. He was an ardent supporter of Israel and had close ties to its political leaders ... I would find out very quickly that as long as Tisch was weighted down with ideological baggage about Israel, the public that depended on us for objective coverage of the Middle East would have been cheated if we caved in to his pressure." -- Hewitt, Don.

[America is becoming an Orwellian Jewish fiefdom. "Free speech" is determined by what fits through the Holy Zionist Filter. What is art? No, what is reality? Your local Jewish "tolerance" junta can explain it for you. Robbing Palestinians of the right to call their experience under Jewish apartheid a "catastrophe" is kosher. Conversely, anyone robbing Jews of their proclamation of the "Holocaust" is literally a crime in some countries.]
Jewish assemblyman demands cancellation of Palestinian art exhibit in New York,
by Jim Fitzgerald, CBS, November 12, 2004
"A Jewish assemblyman said Friday that an exhibit of Palestinian art and crafts, scheduled for display in a public building, should be canceled because it is anti-Israel and ``promotes terrorism and violence.'' Items to be shown include an Arab headdress trapped in a Star of David made of barbed wire, and a piece paying homage to ``Palestinian martyrs in the anti-Israel uprising that began in 2000.'' The curator of the exhibit said that while some of the art deals with Israel's military presence in the Palestinian territories and ``the apartheid-type life that Palestinians are forced to live under ... what comes through is the desire for a peaceful life.'' Westchester County's executive has demanded a preview of the exhibit before deciding whether it should be canceled. The exhibit, scheduled for Nov. 20 at the county center in White Plains, is entitled ``Made in Palestine.'' Assemblyman Ryan Karben, a Democrat from neighboring Rockland County, based his objections on artworks from another exhibit, also called ``Made in Palestine,'' that was on display at the Station museum in Houston last year. Those works are in storage, but their images will be shown as part of the White Plains display, said Nada Khader of WESPAC, a peace group that is sponsoring the display with the artists' group Al-Jisser (which means ``bridges''). Among other things in the Houston exhibit that Karber objects to are a reference to the creation of Israel in 1948 as a ``catastrophe,'' and works by an artist described in the Houston exhibit as ``a former general in the Palestinian Liberation Organization.'' ``Whether they are in a display case or on a projection screen, these divisive and anti-Israel pieces that glorify terrorism have no business being displayed,'' said Aaron Troodler, Karben's spokesman."

"Adnan Yahya lives with his family in a refugee camp in Amman, Jordan. His portrait is a bitter caricature of Israel’s current Prime Minister Ariel Sharon depicted in the act of torturing a Palestinian. The box of matches marked with the US flag refers to the vast military aid that the United States government provides to Israel, and the painted internal framing devices also remind the viewer of the role of the United States in encouraging Israel’s ongoing aggression. The lurid colors communicate a sense of the deathly, unnatural and unhealthy atmosphere that Sharon’s rightwing government has fostered.

U. of I. paper suspends students for anti-Semitic comic,
by Dave Newbart, Chicago Sun-Times, November 15, 2004
"In a recent comic strip in the Daily Illini, a student says he wants to tell a "Jew joke'' but decides not to because he doesn't want "Isiah down at the bank to beat me with his nose.'' That cartoon in the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign's student newspaper has caused such an uproar that the paper has apologized and suspended the cartoonist, Matt Vroom, along with the editor who approved the strip. In the apology, editor in chief Evan McLaughlin, of Palatine, said even though Vroom "did not intend for the comic to degrade Jewish people or Judaism, we understand that the content was offensive to those concerned.'' In an interview, McLaughlin said Vroom's attempt at poking fun at stereotypes didn't work. "We realized this doesn't come off as satire,'' said McLaughlin, 21. "It comes off as hate speech.'' McLaughlin said the punishment might have been harsher --a one-month suspension for Vroom, two weeks for the editor -- if the strip hadn't been placed in the paper accidentally. In fact, the strip was rejected for publication but was left in a folder with other cartoons. A student filling in for several editors out of town at a journalism conference saw it and ran it. Still, some who saw the strip are pushing for the paper to fire Vroom, who has written the "i hate pam'' comic since last August. "Universities have a special responsibility to be opening minds and to be setting examples,'' said Gail Steinberg, a 1969 U. of I. graduate and the former executive producer of the Ricki Lake talk show. "Four weeks' suspension seems like pittance.'' School has no power over paper U. of I. spokesman Jeff Unger agreed the newspaper "should have gone further in distancing itself from the cartoon, which recalls . . . blatant anti-Semitism,'' but said the university has no power over the paper. The Daily Illini receives no funds from the school. Although students and faculty make up its governing board, the student editors run the show. "We don't micromanage,'' said Susan Cohen, an associate business professor who is president of the Illini Media Co. board. "They are learning to be journalists. You have to let them learn.'' Cohen said she thought the paper's quick response to the situation was appropriate. She was "dismayed,'' however, by several student letters to the editor that defended the strip. One student, Krzysztof Ciupka, wrote that Vroom "makes fun of everyone and everything . . . I don't see how having a joke playing off of stereotypes is grounds for this sort of attack.'' Vroom's strip has poked fun at sorority women, Democrats and Republicans, lesbians, even Jesus. It often depicts students having sex and contains foul language. But McLaughlin said the latest strip was the only one that was "definitely past the line.''

In Boston suburb, heated debate over resolution to divest from Israel,
Jewish Telegraphic Agency, November 11, 2004
"Six thousand miles from the Gaza Strip, the strife between Israelis and Palestinians reverberated in the stately Somerville City Hall chambers a few miles from downtown Boston. The scene was a packed, emotionally charged hearing on a resolution to divest the city’s retirement fund of its holdings in Israel Bonds, based on a controversial measure submitted with 1,170 signatures by the Somerville Divestment Project. As reported in The Advocate, the resolution had nearly been adopted by the aldermen without debate at an Oct. 28 meeting. More than 200 people crowded into the Nov. 8 hearing before the Legislative Matters Committee — which routinely decides questions such as local linkage fees. Opponents of the measure, who organized a response through a quickly put-together coalition of Somerville residents in and out of the Jewish community, represented a wide swath of political and religious views. Some were veteran political activists; others were new to the city. They were joined by dignitaries, local and state elected officials and labor leaders, including carpenters, pipe fitters and iron workers representing the Jewish Labor Committee. Divergent in background, they were united in calling the proposed measure one-sided and unfair, singling out Israel among the world’s nations for human rights violations. Ken Brociner, one of the key organizers against the resolution, told the aldermen that while he is a strong critic of the current government of Israel, he opposes the resolution, which is an attempt to delegitimize the nation of Israel, he said. As an invited dignitary, Meir Shlomo, Israel’s consul general to New England, was the evening’s first speaker. His remarks, like those of all the speakers, were limited to the two-minute rule imposed by Alderman Tom Taylor, chair of the committee. Shlomo addressed factual inaccuracies in the resolution, and noted that in the last few years, more than 1,000 Israelis were the tragic victims of terrorist attacks by Palestinians ... Rather than divest in Israel, Shlomo urged the aldermen to invest in the future by inviting Israeli and Palestinian children to Somerville to learn about coexistence. Somerville Mayor Joseph Curtatone said he opposed the nonbinding resolution, saying he would veto the resolution if it were approved by the aldermen. The city’s retirement board, which is a separate entity from the city, holds a $250,000 State of Israel Bond that matures in March 2005, according to Lucy Warsh, the public information officer for the mayor’s office. It is part of the retirement board’s $135 million portfolio. Renewal of the bond will be reviewed as part of normal procedures at that time, she said. The resolution also calls for divestment from corporations such as Caterpillar, United Technologies and other companies that “manufacture military equipment used in Israel’s illegal military occupation.” Written testimony will be accepted until Dec. 1 and the committee will take up the resolution at its regular meeting on Dec. 7. Committee Chair Taylor said he expects that their recommendation will be considered by the full board at the aldermen’s meeting on Dec. 9. Organized labor turned out in force, in strong opposition to the resolution. David Borrus of the pile drivers local union No. 56, a representative to the New England Regional Council of Carpenters, read a statement submitted by the Jewish Labor Committee: “We recognize and appreciate the need for a lasting and just peace agreement which is fair to both Israelis and Palestinians. But the resolution proposal before you is a one-sided document which heaps blame upon Israel alone. It is implicitly a divisive document which will only create more bitterness, both in the Middle East and between the groups in this room tonight.” Somerville seventh-grader Theo Rich, the youngest speaker, called the resolution “ridiculous,” and expressed concern that it could encourage divisiveness and anti-Semitism among kids. Divisiveness was apparent even among Jewish speakers, some of whom supported the resolution. While many opponents who spoke identified themselves as members of Somerville’s Congregation B’nai Brith, others supported the resolution as a way to put pressure on Israeli government policy, they said. Shamai Leibowitz, an Israeli human rights lawyer who has appeared before the Israeli Supreme Court, asked the aldermen to support the resolution, “For the sake of saving my country from the immoral and self-destructive policies of the Israeli government."

Israel to Spain: Remove Sharon slogans,
by Herb Keinon, Jerusalem Post, November 17, 2004
"Israel expects the Spanish government to fully condemn venomous slogans against Prime Minister Ariel Sharon that appeared on a municipal billboard in the northern Spanish town of Oleiros, Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom told his Spanish colleague Miguel Moratinos Tuesday. According to Shalom's office, Shalom spoke to Moratinos and said it is "inconceivable" that these types of anti-Semitic statements against Sharon appear in Spain. "I expect that you and Prime Minister [Jose Luis Rodriquez] Zapatero publicly condemn this despicable act, and immediately remove the signs," Shalom said. The municipal electronic billboard in Oleiros features a sign that reads, "Let's stop the animal, Sharon the assassin, stop the neo Nazis."

[Presbyterians appear to be honest-to-God "Christians," and not guardians of some Judeocentric toady religion. Presbyterians are gutsy, righteous, and obviously practice what they preach. And what they said is true. You know it. Jews are IMPOSSIBLE to talk to about Israel and Jewish neurosis. Jewish self-obsession and hysteria makes zero sense to anyone else ("anyone else" defined as the rest of the world that represents in the Jewish mind the omnipresent, "virus"-spreading "anti-Semite.") Listening to a Jew talk about Israel and the attendant splendors of Jewish identity is like listening to an endless loop of a screaming banshee on a phone left off the hook. Israel is completely corrupted, and Jews who support Chosen People apartheid are corrupted with it. And do you doubt it? "Jews" and Israel are, by self-edict, the same head.]
Presbyterians move forward on divestment,
by Manya A. Brachear, San Luis Obispo Tribune (from Chicago Tribune), November 11, 2004
"Despite an outcry from American Jews, a Presbyterian Church committee has taken its first steps toward a process of selective divestment from companies that profit from the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories. This week, the church announced the standards it would use to identify which companies in its portfolio perpetuate the Israeli-Palestinian discord. Once identified, those companies will be asked to change their business practices with parties that play a role in the conflict. The church has not determined how much of its $8 billion in holdings would qualify for potential divestment. The last time the church voted with its portfolio to protest a foreign government was to deter Sudan's Islamic government from waging war on Christians and animists in the southern part of the country. Divestment was also used to encourage an end to apartheid in South Africa.The step toward divestment in the Middle East further deepens the rift between Presbyterians and Jews, among whom relations were already starting to fray. Anger intensified last month when, shortly after a visit to Chicago, a Presbyterian theologian accompanied a church delegation to Lebanon to meet with leaders of the militant group Hezbollah. Chicago area Jews were personally offended by his comments that Islamic leaders were easier to talk to than Jews. Jewish opponents view the divestment strategy, adopted in July, as an effort to undermine the state of Israel. Presbyterian proponents say it's an attempt to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that threatens their missions in the Middle East and to end oppression of the Palestinian people. If conversations between the church and companies reach an impasse, actual divestment would not take place until the national church's governing body meets again in 2006. It would not take place at all if companies cooperate or Israeli occupation ends, the separation barrier falls and a peaceful agreement is reached regarding settlements. By deciding to go forward, some experts say, the Presbyterians may encourage other mainline Protestant churches to follow suit. The topic of divestment has been raised within the United Church of Christ and the United Methodists, as well as the Anglican Communion, of which the Episcopal Church is the American arm. Such a domino effect, experts say, would threaten centuries of progress in Christian and Jewish relations ... Others said the move has raised the bar for interfaith dialogue by putting the Israeli-Palestinian conflict - long considered too volatile a topic for inter-religious discussions - at the top of the agenda for talks between Protestants and Jews ... On Tuesday, the church announced that it would target companies that operate on occupied land; sell products, services or technology to support Israeli settlements or the construction of the Separation Barrier; or do business with organizations that support violence against innocent civilians. Companies can balance their business practices by protesting the occupation, helping victims, contributing to a viable economy for an independent Palestinian state, or employing Israeli Arabs or Palestinians. Once companies are named, negotiations will begin. If they fail, the church will submit shareholder resolutions. And if that does not succeed, the church's General Assembly will vote on whether to divest. "The goal is not to divest but persuade organizations to change their behavior," said Jerry Van Marter, director of the Presbyterian News Service. Still, some Presbyterian pastors have denounced the strategy. And veterans of inter-religious dialogue say relations have already suffered irreparable damage. Two Jewish representatives have withdrawn from the formal dialogue. "Jews feel attacked," said the Rev. Stanley Davis, a longtime facilitator of interfaith relations in Chicago. "This has cast a pall on all mainline Protestants." To steer other mainline Protestants away from similar action, Jewish leaders have engaged other denominations in dialogue. Individual congregations have also joined forces to come up with a resolution."

Feeling Heat, Episcopal Churches back away from divestment,
by Eric J. Greenberg, [Jewish] Forward, November 12, 2004
"The Episcopal Church is backing away from threats to divest from Israel, following a series of intense talks with Jewish community leaders in recent weeks. Instead, church leaders said they intend to pursue a Middle East investment policy that takes into consideration "obstacles to peace" on both the Palestinian and Israeli side, according to a church statement obtained by the Forward. The memo, from the church's executive council to its Social Responsibility in Investments Committee, states that "the emphasis of this process is not likely to be divestment from companies whose actions are morally questionable, but rather engagement with them." The Episcopalian decision to eschew sanctions contrasts sharply with the policy being pursued by the Presbyterian Church (USA), which last summer voted to begin a process to divest selectively from companies doing business with companies that aid in Israel's "oppression" of the Palestinians. The Presbyterian Church's General Assembly approved the divestment plan four months ago, without consulting any Jewish organizations. Outraged Jewish communal leaders had warned that the move could trigger a domino effect among other mainline Protestant churches. Then, in September, these fears appeared to be validated when leaders of the Anglican Peace and Justice Network, a group within the Anglican Communion, the worldwide church body that includes Episcopalians, raised the issue during a visit to the Palestinian territories. Network leaders announced that they would recommend a divestment policy be adopted at the church's annual international conference in June. At the time, Brian J. Grieves, director of the Episcopal Church's Peace and Justice Ministries, said he believed that divestment could be a way to move toward ending the Middle East conflict.  But then Jewish organizations reached out to Episcopalian leaders. This week, Grieves told the Forward that the church would focus on "shareholder activism" instead of on divestment ... The Episcopalian memo promising no immediate move on divestment took note of Jewish concerns, explicitly stating that the church will keep Jews and other Christians informed of any new developments on the issue. Church leaders echoed this theme. "No action will be taken without conversation with our Jewish partners at home and abroad," said Bishop Catherine S. Roskam, chair of the church's New York council and its International Concerns Committee, in an interview with the Episcopal News Service ... 'As a church,' [wrote Grieves to the Forward], "we support the State of Israel. Our goal is not to end the State of Israel. Our goal is to create a Palestinian state." Jewish leaders this week applauded the church's "more balanced" policy statement.  "The memo clearly reflects a much more nuanced view of using financial resources to effect change in the Middle East," said Mark Pelavin, deputy director of the Religious Action Center, an arm of the Union for Reform Judaism. "They listened, they heard us; dialogue is worth it," said Rabbi Gary Bretton-Granatoor, director of interfaith affairs at the Anti-Defamation League."

The Uncomfortable Relationship: African Enslavement in the Common History of Blacks and Jews,
by Ralph A. Austen, University of Chicago, No date
"It is 1978 and I am at a faculty luncheon at the University of Chicago Hillel House where the distinguished African American historian, John Hope Franklin, is giving a talk on the Jewish community in the nineteenth century Southern United States. After the formal presentation a question is asked about Southern Jewish participation in the debate on slavery. As I remember it, Franklin answers that he does not know too much about this subject. What I do recall very clearly is one of the Hillel regulars remarking that since many of the early southern Jews were Sephardim who had fled Spanish and Portuguese persecution, they must have been sympathetic to the plight of Black slaves. I remember this statement because it was allowed to pass without comment although both I and John Hope Franklin (we discussed it afterwards) were aware that Sephardi Jews in the New World had been heavily involved in the African slave trade. Why did two professional historians in a university setting hesitate to provide our colleagues with such a critical piece of information? I cannot answer for Franklin but I, as a Jew sitting in a Jewish institution which was entertaining an African-American guest felt that pointing out the role of Jews in the history of Black slavery would, in this context, have constituted something of a betrayal. I did not want to undermine the sense of solidarity between the two communities which had been reinforced by Franklin's very presence as well as his references to common confrontation with white Gentile Southern bigots. What Franklin and I were doing was, in effect, condoning a benign historical myth: that the shared liberal agenda of twentieth-century Blacks and Jews had a pedigree going back through the entire remembered past. Avodim hayinu! We, the Jews, had also experienced history on the side of the enslaved, and always cried out in anguish against the oppression of the enslavers. For better or worse, it is no longer possible to maintain that this myth has any but the most abstract bearing on the facts of our pre-emancipation relationship with Africans and their New World descendants. Jewish students of Jewish history never believed it anyway and produced, over several decades, a very large body of scholarship detailing the involvement of our ancestors in the Atlantic slave trade and Pan-American slavery. However until recently this work remained buried in scholarly journals to be read only by other specialists. It was never brought together in something so visible as a general book. Now that book has been produced, not by Jews but by an anonymous group of African Americans associated with the Reverend Louis Farrakhan's Nation of Islam. Since its appearance in 1991, The Secret Relationship has become the subject of considerable furor, although little serious analysis. It was cited by Professor Leonard Jeffries in the public speech which led to his removal from the chairmanship of the Black Studies Department at the City University of New York (and his subsequent compensation and reinstatement by court order). This book was also the ostensible topic of the even more publicized and virulently anti-semitic speech by Farrakhan's representative, Khalid Abdul Muhammad, at Keene College in New Jersey in November 1993. Early in the same year the assignment of The Secret Relationship in a Wellesley College course by Black Studies Professor Tony Martin produced vociferous protests from a number of Jewish groups. During an extensive discussion by Wellesley's Academic Council about the ethics of teaching such a text the chair of the College's Africana Studies Department denounced the book as anti-Semitic and attacked the uncritical manner in which Martin presented it. Martin himself has subsequently chronicled and defended his own and Jeffries' position in two broadside publications, Blacks and Jews at Wellesley News (a play on the name of the campus newspaper) and Blacks and Jews News (published by the same organization as The Secret Relationship). Martin has now published a book of his own, The Jewish Onslaught: Despatches from the Wellesley Battlefront, which elicited a public denunciation by Wellesley's president, Diana Chapman Walsh. Martin has also announced the imminent publication of volumes II and III of The Secret Relationship. Among the different arguments advanced by Martin there is at least one which Jewish intellectuals need to take seriously: The Secret Relationship has been attacked by many Jewish spokespersons but there is no evidence that many of them have read it. Martin is not aware (nor, it appears, are many Jewish critics) of a carefully researched, if somewhat polemical, report on the book prepared under the auspices of the Simon Wiesenthal Center. Indeed, the fact that the present article is appearing more than two years after the publication of The Secret Relationship in a journal very much concerned with Black-Jewish relations itself requires some explanation.One can understand the hesitation of Jews to buy The Secret Relationship and thus put $19.95 (plus $3 for shipping and handling) into the coffers of an organization notorious for its anti-Semitic pronouncements (I bought my copy--just $19.95--in a Chicago Black bookstore which also sells The Protocols of the Elders of Zion and Henry Ford's The International Jew). The association of The Secret Relationship with the ranting of Jeffries and its denunciation in a New York Times op ed piece on Black anti-Semitism by the very prominent and widely respected African American academic Henry Louis Gates jr. has also made it easy for Jewish critics to dispense with examining the book themselves. But none of these conditions really excuse us from the obligation of opening up this notorious tome and seeing what is actually inside it ... It relies for its information almost entirely upon Jewish scholarship (most, but not all, of it quite respectable and extremely little falling into the category which a "Note on Sources" proscribes as "anti-Semitic and/or anti-Jewish"). The easy accessibility of such material of course contradicts the assertion of the book's title, that Jewish participation in the slave trade was hitherto a secret. Nonetheless the contents of this book will come as a surprise to many--perhaps most--readers for reasons already discussed. The anti-Semitic character of The Secret Relationship emerges not from its substantive content--which seems fairly accurate--or even the aura of conspiracy conveyed by its title. It comes out rather in the tone of the narrative which binds together the sources and supports, without any evidence, a stereotype of Jews as a uniquely greedy and untrustworthy population ... Unpleasant as this book is to read (although occasionally long quotes from the Jewish sources are used to offset the authors' own voices) it does raise a serious historical question: how significant were the Jews in the slave trade? The authors' main method, for which they have been attacked by Gates and Brackman, is crude statistics ... It was not the material wealth of the Jews which made them so crucial to this emerging South Atlantic economy but rather (as with other ethnic-commercial diasporas such as the Huguenots, the Quakers, the overseas Chinese, Muslims in Africa, etc.) their ability to transfer assets and information among themselves across the entire economic network ... For all its shortcomings, The Secret Relationship does force us to confront the history which I and John Hope Franklin did not want to discuss publicly in 1978. The fact that our forefathers were generally, and at times quite significantly, on the side of the slavers in the cruel world of the Atlantic economy may also help call into question the whole image of Diaspora Jews as "victims" in medieval-to-modern world history. Indeed, some of the very terms associated with this status, "Diaspora", "ghetto", and, in several chapter headings of The Secret Relationship, "Holocaust" have been appropriated by African Americans to define a trajectory of suffering which ultimately has placed them in a far more disadvantaged position than that of Jews ... However we Jews, even liberal ones, who justifiably insist that the history of the Nazi Holocaust not be denied, can hardly urge African Americans to suppress the record of the slave trade and the involvement of our own ancestors in it. It also does not help to accompany all discussions of Jewish slave trading with indictments of Christians and Arab Muslims as the true villains of the African slave trade. Thus while we should not ignore the anti-Semitism of The Secret Relationship (limited at least to accusations of avarice rather than blood libels or plots to rule the world) we must recognize the legitimacy of the stated aim of examining fully and directly even the most uncomfortable elements in our common past."

Judge can't help denier's wife. Woman trying to free husband, who disputes Holocaust, jailed in Canada, By Jamie Saterfield, Knoxville News Sentinel (Tennessee), November 19, 2004
"The wife of a prominent Holocaust denier made an appeal Thursday to a federal judge in Knoxville to help free her husband, who was booted from his Sevier County home last year and wound up in a Canadian prison. "If somebody smashed my window, I have recourse with the law," Ingrid Rimland Zundel said. "If somebody smashes my life (by deporting her husband), I have no recourse. This is a political vendetta. This was a setup. My husband only searches for the truth." U.S. District Court Senior Judge James H. Jarvis found himself in a troubling position. He wanted to help but could not. "This is a tough, tough case for me," Jarvis said. "But I've said it before, tough cases make bad, bad law." Jarvis was disturbed not because he sympathized with the controversial views of Ernst Zundel, 65, but because it appeared that Zundel's case was driven, in part, by politics. "His home country, Germany, wanted him for his preachings, writings on the Holocaust," Jarvis said, noting those views were published on Zundel's well-known Zundelsite Internet page. "This would be a felony under German law." But Jarvis opined that he ultimately had no jurisdiction over Zundel's fate. The U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service's decision to scuttle Zundel out of the country "was a discretionary one not subject to review by this court." Zundel is a German-born graphic artist and publisher whose involvement with the 1980 pamphlet "Did Six Million Really Die?" rocketed him to infamy as a Holocaust denier and - as some allege - a neo-Nazi. He lived in Canada for decades but had long been denied citizenship. In 2000, Zundel entered the United States under the visitor visa waiver program, which allows people to visit the United States for 90 days at a time without having to go through the process of getting a visa. However, as part of that program, Zundel had to sign a form in which he agreed to waive any rights to contest deportation if INS chose to take such action. While in the United States, Zundel married Rimland and applied for an INS "adjustment" to his status here as a result of that marriage. In the meantime, his visitor visa expired. In February 2003, Zundel was arrested at his home in Wears Valley, where he was preparing to open an art gallery, and deported to Canada. Once there, he was imprisoned and accused by the Canadian government of being a threat to national security. If he loses that court battle, he will be returned to Germany, where he faces a five-year prison term for his Holocaust views. Memphis attorney Rehim Babaoglu handled the paperwork for Zundel's effort to get an INS adjustment. He testified Thursday that he had never before had a client kicked out of the country for overstaying his visa when that client was married to a U.S. citizen and had applied for an adjustment. "I've never seen anything like this in my practice," Babaoglu said. "My opinion is someone took a shortcut, did what they wanted to do, had an agenda. I think the government's got another agenda."

The CRIF umbrella group of French Jewish organizations accused the government of failing to protect citizens from broadcasts by Hizbollah's al-Manar TV, which CRIF says includes anti-Semitic films that incite Muslims to attack Jews. "We French citizens are under attack as Jews by this television," CRIF president Roger Cuikerman said Friday. Arabic-language satellite television is popular with France's five million Muslims, mostly of North African descent. Al-Manar angered groups representing France's 600,000 Jews last year when it broadcast a series about a Zionist plot to dominate the world during the high-viewing month-long Islamic festival of Ramadan. CRIF had sought to ban al-Manar and condemned this latest decision by France's Higher Audiovisual Council (CSA) to allow it to keep broadcasting over French satellite operator Eutelsat. "The Republic should protect all its citizens and not give in to external pressures," Cuikerman said in a statement. The CSA announced the agreement with al-Manar Friday in a document containing a long list of commitments to unbiased journalism that al-Manar must accept to continue broadcasting. In its statement, the CSA declared that some broadcasts it had viewed broke French law because they could incite hate or violence against people for religious or national reasons and stoke tensions between different groups living in Europe."

Hate Speech Battle to End With Hearing,
by Karyn Maughan, All Africa (South Africa), November 15, 2004
"After six years of legal wrangling, a major hate-speech hearing over a Muslim radio broadcast that denied the existence of the Holocaust is expected to be held in Cape Town next year. The proposed hearing was preceded by legal action between the South African Jewish Board of Deputies and the Islamic Unity Convention (IUC) and the Broadcasting Monitoring Complaints Committee. It has also been the subject of High Court, Supreme Court of Appeal and Constitutional Court applications. The IUC owns Cape Town station Radio 786, which, in May 1998, broadcast a programme entitled "Zionism and the State of Israel: an in-depth analysis". During the broadcast, author and historian Dr Yaqub Zaki contended that Jewish people were not gassed in concentration camps during World War 2 but had died "from infectious diseases, particularly typhus". Only about a million Jews had died, he said, adding that "holocaust" was a fairly recent term for something that used to be called the "final solution". Zaki also referred to the co-operation of the Jews and the British in allegedly acquiring South Africa's mineral wealth to finance their occupation of Palestine. He also questioned the legitimacy of the state of Israel and Zionism as a political ideology. The Board of Deputies laid a complaint with the Broadcasting Complaints Commission a month after the programme, prompting a series of legal tussles that ended in the Constitutional Court declaring part of the authority's code of conduct to be unconstitutional. Broadcasting committee chairman Roland Sutherland SC decided in October 2002 that the board's complaint did not warrant a formal hearing. The board took his decision on review to the Johannesburg High Court, where it was set aside by Mr Justice Franz Malan. The judge ruled that a formal hearing should be held to determine whether the controversial programme broadcast had contained Holocaust denial and anti-Semitic conspiracy theories. "The question whether the (broadcast) may amount to the type of hate speech forbidden by the constitution raises complex legal questions, not only in South Africa, but elsewhere."

[More Jewish Thought Police A La Mode with Hot Sauce, #101. It is the usual witch hunt, going door-to-door in academia to line up professors' thinking in a Zionist row. And shock! Here's yet another Jewish writer with his buddies in the Zionist-rooted mass media seeking to clean out Columbia University of free thought. What's happening in America today isn't "ethnic cleansing," it's "ethics cleansing": clearing America of the virus of morality and free, open discussion of anything having to do with Jews and Israel. Here we have the usual Jewish Totalitarian Silencers, always self-framed and propagandized as perpetual victims, even as they ride through town in their Star of David white sheets, screaming: "Pro-Palestinian terrorists at Columbia!

Hate 101. Climate of hate rocks Columbia University,
by Douglas Feiden, New York Daily News, November 21, 2004
"It's a capital of "thuggery" - a "ghastly state of racism and apartheid" - and it "must be dismantled." A voice from America's crackpot fringe? Actually, [Hamid] Dabashi is a tenured professor and department chairman at Columbia University. And his views have resonated and been echoed in other areas of the university. Columbia is at risk of becoming a poison Ivy, some critics claim, and tensions are high. In classrooms, teach-ins, interviews and published works, dozens of academics are said to be promoting an I-hate-Israel agenda, embracing the ugliest of Arab propaganda, and teaching that Zionism is the root of all evil in the Mideast. In three weeks of interviews, numerous students told the Daily News they face harassment, threats and ridicule merely for defending the right of Israel to survive. And the university itself is holding investigations into the alleged intimidation. Dabashi has achieved academic stardom: professor of Iranian studies; chairman of the Middle East and Asian languages and cultures department; past head of a panel that administers Columbia's core curriculum. The 53-year-old, Iranian-born scholar has said CNN should be held accountable for "war crimes" for one-sided coverage of Sept. 11, 2001. He doubts the existence of Al Qaeda and questions the role of Osama Bin Laden in the attacks. Dabashi did not return calls. In September in the Egyptian newspaper Al-Ahram, he wrote, "What they call Israel is no mere military state. A subsumed militarism, a systemic mendacity with an ingrained violence constitutional to the very fusion of its fabric, has penetrated the deepest corners of what these people have to call their soul." After the showing of a student-made documentary about faculty bias and bullying that targets Jewish students, six or seven swastikas were found carved in a Butler Library bathroom last month. Then after a screening of the film, "Columbia Unbecoming," produced by the David Project, a pro-Israel group in Boston, one student denounced another as a "Zionist fascist scum," witnesses said. On Oct. 27, Columbia announced it would probe alleged intimidation and improve procedures for students to file grievances ... "Professorial power is being abused," said Ariel Beery, a senior who is student president in the School of General Studies, but stresses he's speaking only for himself ... Added Noah Liben, another senior, "Debate is being stifled. Students are being silenced in their own classrooms." Yet even some faculty members say they fear social ostracism and career consequences if they're viewed as too pro-Israel, and that many have been cowed or shamed into silence. One apparently unafraid is Dan Miron, a professor of Hebrew literature and holder of a prestigious endowed chair. He said scores of Jewish students - about one a week - have trooped into his office to complain about bias in the classroom. "Students tell me they've been browbeaten, humiliated and treated disrespectfully for daring to challenge the idea that Israel has no right to exist as a Jewish nation," he said. "They say they've been told Israeli soldiers routinely rape Palestinian women and commit other atrocities, and that Zionism is racism and the root of all evil." One yardstick of the anti-Israel sentiment among professors, critics say, is the 106 faculty signatures on a petition last year that called for Columbia to sell its holdings in all firms that conduct business with Israel's military. Noting that the divestment campaign compared Israel to South Africa during the apartheid era, Columbia President Lee Bollinger termed it "grotesque and offensive." That didn't stop 12 Mideast and Asian studies professors - almost half the department - and 21 anthropology teachers from signing on, a review of the petition shows ... In the world of Hamid Dabashi, supporters of Israel are "warmongers" and "Gestapo apparatchiks." The Jewish homeland is "nothing more than a military base for the rising predatory empire of the United States." Nicholas De Genova, who teaches anthropology and Latino studies. The Chronicle of Higher Education calls him "the most hated professor in America' ... De Genova has also said, "The heritage of the victims of the Holocaust belongs to the Palestinian people. ... Israel has no claim to the heritage of the Holocaust." ... Bruce Robbins, a professor of English and comparative literature. In a speech backing divestment, he said, "The Israeli government has no right to the sufferings of the Holocaust." ...Joseph Massad, who is a tenure-track professor of Arab politics. Students and faculty interviewed by The News consistently claimed that the Jordanian-born Palestinian is the most controversial, and vitriolic, professor on campus ... To Massad, CNN star Wolf Blitzer is "Ze'ev Blitzer," which is the byline Blitzer used in the 1980s, when he wrote for Hebrew papers but hasn't used since ... George Saliba, a professor of Arabic and Islamic science. His classroom rants against the West are legendary, students have claimed .. A recent graduate, Lindsay Shrier, said Saliba told her, "You have no claim to the land of Israel ... no voice in this debate. You have green eyes, you're not a true Semite. I have brown eyes, I'm a true Semite." ... Rashid Khalidi, who is the Edward Said professor of Arab studies. He's the academic heir to the late Said, a professor who famously threw a stone from Lebanon at an Israeli guard booth. Columbia initially refused to say how the chair was funded. But The United Arab Emirates, which denies the Holocaust on state TV channels, is reported to have provided $200,000 ... Lila Abu-Lughod, a professor of anthropology, romanticizes Birzeit University in the West Bank as a "liberal arts college dedicated to teaching and research in the same spirit as U.S. colleges.'""

Priest dismissed after anti-Semitic remarks,
by Vanessa Gera, Baku Sun (from Associated Press), November 17, 2004
"A prominent Polish Roman Catholic priest who was once barred from the pulpit for anti-Semitic remarks was dismissed by the church from his parish Wednesday following new anti-Jewish comments and amid a pedophilia investigation. The Rev. Stanislaw Zieba, who is chancellor of the Gdansk Metropolitan Curia, said in a statement he had decided to remove Rev. Henryk Jankowski as parish priest of the St. Brygida Church. Zieba did not give a reason for his decision. But the decision came two months after Gdansk Archbishop Tadeusz Goclowski sent an open letter to the priests in his diocese in which he called on Jankowski, was once known for his support of the Solidarity movement, to quit his post and accused him of turning his pulpit into a “political tribune.” During the summer, Jankowski lashed out in a sermon against authorities who were conducting an investigation into allegations he had sexually abused a minor, saying it was a slander campaign orchestrated by “Jews and Judeo-Communists.” He also used his pulpit to rail against various Polish leaders, saying they were selling out the country by supporting membership in the European Union. Jankowski, who was prominent in the Solidarity freedom movement in the 1980s and is a close friend of Solidarity founder Lech Walesa, has vehemently denied the allegations of sexual abuse. No formal charges have been brought. During a 1995 sermon the priest said the Star of David “is implicated in the swastika as well as in the hammer and sickle.” In 2001, he placed signs reading “Jews killed Jesus Christ and prophets and also persecuted us” at his church in reaction to revelations at the time that during World War II Poles in the village of Jedwabne massacred their Jewish neighbors. Jankowski told the Polish news agency PAP that he would appeal his dismissal to the Vatican." [This article is also at the Free New Mexican]

Polish priest charged with slandering Jews,
by Ruth E. Gruber, Jewish News Weekly, January 31, 1997
"Controversial right-wing Polish priest Henryk Jankowski has delivered another anti-Semitic sermon in his church in the northern city of Gdansk. His comments, reported by the Polish news agency PAP, came less than a week after he was formally charged with slandering Jews in an earlier sermon. On Sunday, in a sermon in his church of St. Brigitta, Jankowski criticized the Polish government for giving in too much to the demands of Jews and the relatives of Holocaust victims. "The Polish people, humiliated by that minority, have become the laughing stock of the international community," he said. "We have the impression that for some time, the diplomatic policy, the president and the government of our country have been too conciliatory toward the requests of the Jews, and at the same time tolerate attacks against Poland," he said. Former Polish President Lech Walesa, a close friend of Jankowski's, was at the church during the sermon, according to the report. Jankowski, as Walesa's parish priest, was a key figure in the Solidarity union movement that challenged Communist rule in 1980. Last week, Jankowski was formally charged with slandering Jews and people of Jewish origin in connection with a sermon he delivered in June 1995. In that sermon, also attended by Walesa, Jankowski compared the Star of David to the Nazi swastika and the Communist hammer and sickle, adding that the Polish people should not allow those who owed secret allegiance to Israel or Russia to remain in government. Walesa, who was Poland's president at the time, came under heavy criticism for not immediately condemning those remarks. The charges were brought last week by the Gdansk Provincial Prosecutor's Office on the basis of complaints brought by Jewish groups and by two anti-racist organizations based in the southwestern Polish city of Wroclaw. A spokesman for the Provincial Prosecutor's Office was quoted as saying that Jankowski could face up to three years in prison if convicted. Jankowski in turn said the charges violated his rights of freedom of speech. "It is a return to a communist totalitarianism," he told reporters in Gdansk. "As a Polish citizen, I feel persecuted by the Jewish minority." "Poland has too little democratic experience," he said in a statement. "The right to free judgment of politics, persons and history is an empty phrase," he said."

[JTR contributor note: " I saw that you published an article about a meeting between Jason Isaacson
and Jean-Francois Copé. Well, of course the spokesman for the "anti-Semitic" French government is also Jewish, as pointed out for instance in this article." Our comment: Aside from the usual Jewish censorial efforts here, it's interesting to note how the American Jewish Lobby functions as its own country (with feet in America and heart in Israel), complete with offices for international affairs, etc. Because of astounding Jewish Power, the American Jewish Committee (!) gets private meetings with high-level members of the French government to whine about getting more censorship on Arabs. The Jewish perspective dominates the western world's airwaves. It would be nice to see an Arab view one time.]
American Jewish Committee Calls French Decision to Grant License to Hezbollah TV 'Incomprehensible',
U.S. Newswire, November 22, 2004
"The American Jewish Committee today called on the French government to reverse the decision of the French broadcasting authority to grant a license to Al-Manar, a Lebanese-based station, to broadcast in France. Al-Manar is linked to the terrorist group Hezbollah. "It is incomprehensible why the French government, which earlier had insisted on banning Al-Manar as part of its strategy to confront radicalism, now is allowing the Hezbollah message of hate to reach into every home in Europe," said Jason Isaacson, director of AJC's Office of Government and International Affairs. Isaacson conveyed AJC's outrage in a private meeting in Paris with Jean-Frangois Cope, the spokesman for the French government. "Al-Manar is a fountain of hatred against Jews, Israel, America and other Western societies spilling over the airwaves, and it should not be allowed to use France as a vehicle for spreading its message of hate across Europe," said Isaacson.AJC understands that Al Manar signed a code of conduct in order to get the French license. However, it is inconceivable that Al Manar will be able to fulfill the terms of that code, to desist from spewing vitriolic hatred, given that Hezbollah's primary goals are the destruction of Israel and murder of Jews."

["The fact that it is coming from an academic should scare people?" No, Mr. Farber. It should scare Jews and the sordid real-life Zionist cabals that have completely usurped the Jewish community and run it. The Zionist secrets are starting to spill out and shouting "anti-Semite" at everyone on the planet is running out of steam. And get this. The "anti-Semitic" criminal here is Jewish. Shouting "anti-Semite" at yet another Jew is also sounding really lame and ridiculous. Now if a few thousand Jews like Mr. Noble succeded in overthrowing the racist, censorial monsters that run the world Jewish community, and the Jewish rank and file climbed off their holy pedestals, there would be less a need for this web site. The interesting thing is that those who condemn Noble's "singling out" of the Jews who run York University include an Arab (or Pakistani?). This of course underscores the total ignorance and complete brainwashing that many in the pro-Palestinian movement have about "singling out" ethnic groups for critical attention. An allegiance to the tired old platitudes of Political Correctness guarantees Palestinian destruction because the true nemesis -- Jewish power, Jewish racism, and vengeful, vindictive Jewish identity itself (all of which inform Zionism) -- can never be identified and therefore never defeated on the open plain of moral struggle. JTR contributor's comments: "Rabia is Pakistani and a founder of a joint Muslim-Jewish peace group called Shalom-Salaam."]
Memo stirs controversy at York U.,
by Prithi Yelaja, Toronto Star, November 21, 2004
"A history professor is demanding an apology from a leading Jewish rights group and York University for what he calls "scurrilous attacks" on his character and attempts to squelch his freedom of speech. If no apology is forthcoming, David Noble said he'd consider legal action against the Canadian Jewish Congress and York. The congress has denounced Noble for spreading "anti-Semitic" material on campus. Noble handed out a memo last week listing the names of the directors of the York University Foundation, the school's fundraising arm, and their links to pro-Israel organizations. The material, which appears to suggest that a small cabal of Jews runs the foundation, is reminiscent of classic Jewish-conspiracy theories, Bernie Farber, executive director of the congress, said yesterday. "Not only is this absurd, it reeks of anti-Semitism.... It's bizarre, and if this wasn't coming from an academic, one would laugh it off. The fact that it's coming from an academic should scare people." Noble, who has taught at York for 15 years and is Jewish, said those comments are worrisome and "deeply offensive to me because my own family has suffered from anti-Semitism." "When you get these kinds of scurrilous attacks it trivializes anti-Semitism. I guess they didn't do their homework and find out I was Jewish." There will be no apology, Farber said, arguing Noble can't use that as "a cloak" for his actions. Noble spontaneously distributed copies of a memo he wrote called "The Tail that Wags the Dog (Suggestions for Further Research)" after a Thursday film screening by the student group Solidarity for Palestinian Human Rights. It claims the foundation "is biased by the presence and influence of staunch pro-Israel lobbyists, activists and fundraising agencies." Noble asserted yesterday that the foundation is "de facto running York. They clamp down on any criticism of Israel." Pro-Arab and pro-Israel students separately agreed to denounce Noble's actions. Rabia Siddiqui of the Solidarity group said it was inappropriate "for anyone to single anyone out because of their race, in any circumstances." "It is unacceptable for any student to be exposed to this type of bigotry," Dori Borshiov, president of the Jewish group Hillel at York, added in a statement. A statement by university president Lorna Marsden said "York strongly condemns this highly offensive material," which singles out people "on the basis of their ethnicity and alleged political views."

Columbia vows swift action on anti-Israel professors,
by Sholomo Shamir, Haaretz (Israel), November 26, 2004
Columbia University president Lee Bollinger plans "specific steps" soon in response to allegations that professors and lecturers at the Ivy League university made vitriolic and malicious comments against Israel in classes. Bollinger made the pledge in a Wednesday phone call to Anti-Defamation League national director Abraham Foxman. Bollinger didn't detail the character of the steps, but emphasized "the matter will be handled immediately." New York's Columbia University was recently embarrassed by reports that Middle Eastern professors are exploiting their academic standing to express extreme political views on Israel, using slanderous and defamatory statements. The allegations against the professors, including their names and
photographs, were published at the beginning of the week in an investigative report by mass-circulation newspaper the New York Daily News. Jewish sources in New York reported Thursday that major Jewish donors to the university were considering severing ties with the prestigious institution in response to the "corrupt behavior" by academic staff. In particular, the sources mentioned Jewish graduates of the university active in alumni organizations. They said that Bollinger had recently received irate requests from alumni protesting the behavior and explaining they expected an appropriate response from the university to what they called "malicious comments" against Israel. The university president recently proposed the establishment of a special chair for Israeli Studies, with the view of separating it from Middle East Studies. The proposal was interpreted by the Jewish community as an appeasement gesture after the wave of protest against the professors' behavior. Foxman told Haaretz on Thursday that he his meeting with Bollinger had left him with the impression that "he is aware of the problem and understands its seriousness." Foxman called the Columbia events "particularly grave as the institution is located in New York, which has a large Jewish population, and Jewish students are exposed to insults from professors." Foxman emphasized that "if Columbia handles the problem decisively, it will be a strong message to other U.S. campuses where similar phenomena occur."

Neoconservative Animus,
by Paul Gottfried, LewRockwell.com, November 24, 2004
"In 1988 I was denied a graduate professorship at Catholic University after neoconservative celebrities, including Norman Podhoretz, called administrators nonstop for several days, on the grounds that I was "unreliable" on Israel. Because I was suspected, without evidence, of favoring negotiations between Israel and the PLO, I was deemed unfit to teach ancient Greek political texts. The campaign of vilification worked because the braindead gentile administrators were too intimidated to offer me the post that the politics department almost unanimously had voted to confer on me."

Israel's court defeats film ban. A fresh attempt to ban a documentary film about the Israeli army's invasion of a West Bank refguee camp has failed ,
BBC News, August 31, 2004
"Israel's film board banned Jenin, Jenin from being shown in the Jewish state last year, saying it presented a distorted version of events in Jenin. But on Monday Israel's High Court reinstated a ruling which overturned the ban, saying the film board did not have "a monopoly over truth". Fighting in the camp in April 2002 left 52 Palestinians and 23 Israelis dead. The eight-day military operation in Jenin followed a suicide bomb attack on the Israeli town of Netanya which killed 28 Israelis celebrating Passover. 'Propagandistic lie' Directed by Israeli Arab film-maker Mohammad Bakri, Jenin, Jenin was shown three times in Israel before it was banned last year. The High Court ruled that the film board had overstepped its mandate by imposing the ban. An order staying last year's ruling was lifted. Director Bakri insisted that he had a right to present a Palestinian point of view and rejected an earlier proposal by the court to cut several scenes. Despite rejecting the ban, the court described Jenin, Jenin as a "propagandistic lie" which falsely accused Israeli soldiers of intentionally killing children, women, the disabled and the mentally ill. Delivering the original Supreme Court ruling last November, Justice Dalia Dorner said: "The fact that the film includes lies is not enough to justify a ban."

Intimidation by Israeli-Linked Organization Aimed at US Academic. MEMRI tries a SLAPP,
by Juan Cole, Informed Comment / Juan Cole, November 23, 2004
"I just checked my campus mail and found a letter in it from Colonel Yigal Carmon, late of Israeli military intelligence, now an official at the Middle East Media Research Organization, or MEMRI. He threatened me with a lawsuit over blog comments I made here at Informed Comment, reprinted at anti-war.com. This technique of the SLAPP or Strategic Lawsuits against Public Participation had already been pioneered by polluting industries against environmental activists, and now the pro-Likud lobby in the US has apparently decided to try it out against people like me ... Colonel Carmon was not a formal member of the Likud party while serving in Israeli military intelligence because active-duty military are not usually involved in civilian political parties. Since he retired to the US, he did not have the occasion to join the Likud, but there seems little question that if he were living in Israel he would vote for Likud rather than Labor, given his public stances.So, the charge, that I claimed an "affiliation" of MEMRI with Likud, isn't true in the first place, and there is nothing to retract ... I've said all I am going to say to Colonel Carmon just now. Israeli military intelligence is used to being able to censor the Israeli press and to intimidate journalists, and it is a bit shocking that Carmon should imagine that such intimidation would work in a free society."

Censoreship [sic]: Michelin Guides Sue Israeli Satirist Over Spoof,
Oznik (Israel), Update October 19, 2004
"The court case was yesterday (18/10/04), in the High Court of Justice in London. After I admitted that I printed 500 copies and all were already distributed and that I have no intention to print and distribute more copies, Michelin decided to end their litigation with no demand for paying costs, fines, etc. That is the end of that saga. - shimon tzabar ... Excerpt: The Guide (pp. 6-11): Before we start our guided tour of Israel's prisons, concentration camps and torture chambers, it would make sense to ask why we are doing this. Why should anyone go on such a tour? The answer is simple: to see history in the making. Usually, it is through newspapers that history unfolds before our eyes. In the case of Israel however, we cannot trust newspapers. They mix everything up and make us confused. We cannot distinguish any more between anti-Semitism, anti-Zionism, and anti-Israeli government policy. The only way to know the truth is to go there in person and see with our own eyes and watch history, true history, in the making ... The safest way to be arrested, although this also carries a risk with it, is to look like a Palestinian Arab. This can easily be achieved by putting on some Arab garb, such as, for example, an Arab head dress or a kafiyeh, as it is commonly known. Once you look like a Palestinian you have a good chance of being arrested. Your chance is actually so good, that you don't have to do anything in particular. You can be arrested for anything, even for smiling (in the wrong place or at the wrong person!) ... There is also another and much more important reason not to open your mouth. This is especially important if you want to observe what Israelis are capable of and are actually inflicting on the Palestinians ... If you don't talk, they will assume that you know and have something to hide, so they will employ physical and psychological means to make you talk. They will start by beating you up. There are different methods of beating. One of them for example is known as the 'bending method'. After they have handcuffed your hands with plastic wire behind your back, and seated you on a small chair without a back support, two people will hit you: one, sitting in front of you, will push your chest with his left hand and, at the same time,will slap your chin with the palm of his right hand, while the other person, just standing behind you, will hold your head with his left hand, and box your left arm with his right fist. We go into these details so that you will know what to expect. Other methods of first stage torture include the 'tripping game'. While your eyes are covered and you can't see, you will be given the command to go forward. The moment you move, a soldier will trip you with his boot. These are mere examples but there are a lot more surprises once you are in the hands of the Shabak, the Israeli army police. You may rightly ask how we know all this. Is it from personal experience? The answer is no. We copied this information from a booklet by the Public Committee Against Torture in Israel which was published in Jerusalem, in April 2003. You can order this booklet yourself, by writing to: Public Committee Against Torture in Israel / PO Box 4634 / Jerusalem 91046 / ISRAEL."

Analysis: Tenet calls for tough cyber security rules,
by Shaun Waterman, Interest! Alert, December 1, 2004
"Former CIA Director George Tenet called Wednesday for tough new security measures to guard against attacks on the United States using the Internet, which he called "a potential Achilles heel for our financial stability and physical security.""I know that these actions will be controversial in this age when we still think the Internet is a free and open society with no control or accountability," Tenet told an IT security conference in Washington, "but ultimately the Wild West must give way to governance and control."The national media, including United Press International, were excluded from the event at Tenet's request, organizers said, but UPI was given an account of the speech by a member of the audience. The quotes were verified by a source close to the former director.Tenet's speech articulated widely shared concerns among U.S. intelligence and homeland security officials that telecommunications -- and specifically the Internet -- represent a backdoor through which terrorists and other enemies of the United States can attack the country, even though some progress has been made in securing the physical infrastructure.The Internet, Tenet said, "represents a potential Achilles heel for our financial stability and physical security if the networks we are creating are not protected.""Efforts at physical security will not be enough," he argued, "because the thinking enemy that we confront is going to school on our network vulnerabilities," leveraging the possibility that the Internet gave them to "work anonymously and remotely" with little risk of apprehension. He said that there were "known adversaries conducting research on information attacks," including "intelligence services, military organizations and non-state actors."Robert Bagnall, a former military intelligence officer who specializes in computer security for small and medium-sized companies, said that Islamic terror groups like al-Qaida currently appeared to lack the expertise to stage successful cyber attacks on their own. But he added that their capacities were growing every day and that there was also a blossoming market in "hacking for hire," which posed a very real threat."These guys are very good," he said of the professionals. "It's how they make they make their living. You aren't talking about kids in a basement any more."Bagnall said that organized crime could provide the nexus between professional hackers and terror groups. "The guys who are going to bring that expertise to them are the Russian mob," he told UPI. Many worry that the United States' capacity to secure its networks and respond to attacks is growing much more slowly than the capacity of its enemies to mount those attacks. Within the federal government, the Department of Homeland Security has the lead role in protecting the United States from Internet terrorism. But the department's head of cyber security recently quit suddenly, amid reports that he had clashed with his superiors."The department's cyber security program is not where it needs to be," John Gannon, staff director of the House Select Committee on Homeland Security, told UPI last month.The committee recently produced legislation that would raise the rank of the post Amit Yoran held to the assistant secretary level."

[Really, the central issue in stories like this is not whether the Holocaust really happened and/or how many people died in it. The much more essential question is this: How, in supposedly "free" societies, can a small group of people commandeer the principle of free speech and get others thrown in jail for merely expressing skepticism about something the small group holds sacred? You can climb onstage in any Western TV studio and scream at the top of your lungs that God doesn't exist to complete disinterest but to do the same about the Holocaust, even standing on an orange crate before two people in a public park, is against the law in some countries. This bizarre dichotomy puts what's going on into troubling perspective, doesn't it? Shudder to think: who/what remains sacred in our increasingly irreligious Western civilization?]
Reuters France opens probe into Holocaust doubter,
Swiss Info (from Reuters, November 29, 2004
"French prosecutors say they are opening a judicial investigation into comments by a leading far-right politician who questions whether the Nazis used gas chambers in the Holocaust. Justice Minister Dominique Perben called for the inquiry after Bruno Gollnisch, a professor of Japanese at the University of Lyon, questioned how the gas chambers were used in the wartime slaughter of Jews and how many Jews were killed. Prosecutors in the southern city of Lyon said the investigation would focus on "denying crimes against humanity". France anti-racism laws have made denying the Holocaust a crime, punishable by fines and even prison. Prosecutors last month had already opened a preliminary investigation into the comments by Gollnisch, a European deputy who is also thenumber two man in the National Front party of extreme-right leader Jean-Marie Le Pen. Gollnisch told a news conference last month he recognised gas chambers had existed but said he 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. The CRIF umbrella group of French Jewish organisations has publicly condemned Gollnisch's comments, and European Parliament head Josep Borrell said the European assembly would not tolerate such a statement."

Michael Collins Piper publishes and is damned,
by Bunn Nagara, The Star (Malaysia), October 24, 2004
"MICHAEL Collins Piper is an outspoken American editor, author and commentator who is kept very much outside the US mainstream media. He is a “controversial” figure for some because he delves into important issues which others in the US prefer to ignore or deny. His research typically uncovers shadowy links between Israel and pivotal events in US history, raising the ire of the American establishment. His 663-page book, Final Judgment, details the connection between Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency and the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, which paved the way for Zionist influence in Washington. Kennedy was apparently making certain policy moves that displeased Israel at the time. Piper’s more recent book, The High Priests of War, reveals the background of the extreme right-wing neo-conservatives influencing current US policy. In addition to his writings, he travels extensively to give seminars around the world. At one such event in Abu Dhabi, the Arab think-tank at which Piper spoke was targeted by Israel. More recently in Malaysia, where he gave several talks, his presentation at the Bar Council in Kuala Lumpur was preceded by a call from “a non-domestic source” to cancel the event. The Malaysian Bar Council stood its ground. Never before had it encountered such interference, it said, and it was not about to set a precedent on that front. Among other things, Piper recalled that a senior pro-Zionist Pentagon official, Douglas Feith, had secretly recommended days after Sept 11 that US forces attack Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand as part of the US war on terrorism."

Free speech can be costly, author finds,
by Bunn Nagara, The Star (Malaysia), October 31, 2004
"Through 20 years of writing and speaking, US author and journalist Michael Collins Piper has accumulated opponents along with fans. His work often touches on a sore point in US politics – the slide in US policymaking as a result of the powerful Israeli-Zionist lobby.  But far from shying away from his detractors, Piper identifies them to place their bile in context. Often with established ideological reputations, they help build his credibility by avoiding intelligent debate, preferring instead to resort to insults and name-calling. Through numerous articles and books like Final Judgment (American Free Press, sixth edition, 2004), acclaimed as the most complete study of John F. Kennedy’s assassination, Piper reveals how Israeli leaders were involved in such events. One consequence has been frequent condemnation of his work by the Jewish Anti-Defamation League (ADL), offering fiery rejection in place of dispassionate discourse. Despite the gravity of the issues and the case details amassed by Piper, his critics seldom stop to consider them. If there were other, more credible versions of these historic events, none has been offered. Among Piper’s fans are independent analysts and some senior members of the US political and military establishments. They tend to be more candid in their personal capacities, particularly upon retirement. But elsewhere, rejection of Piper’s work by the US-Israel axis has forced the closure of, for example, the Zayed Centre in Abu Dhabi, the Arab League’s think-tank that hosted his talk last year on the eve of the US invasion of Iraq. Another attempt to stop a speaking engagement at the Bar Council in Kuala Lumpur recently failed. Regardless of views and beliefs, open discussion and exchange usually serve better – particularly where disagreement reigns. On this score at least, it is the Michael Pipers and not their opponents who champion democratic discussion. Piper’s US newspaper and publisher, American Free Press, can be accessed online at www.americanfreepress.net. ...
Q: Over the years, do you find that Americans generally may at least be getting more aware of the hidden power behind Washington? 
A: Absolutely, one hundred per cent. Particularly in the wake of Sept 11 and the Iraq war, it’s happening at the same time when people are afraid to speak out. It’s happening privately, people recognise it’s an issue you can’t get away from. The concept of press freedom may be sidelined, but the issue of Israel gets out; that happens a lot of the time. I say loudly what other people are thinking. That’s what they don’t like. What happened (in Kuala Lumpur) at the Bar Council, it’s just like in Abu Dhabi. 
Why exactly is it so taboo in the US to suggest that Israel is behind the Iraq war, the JFK assassination, or any other problem or issue? 
It just gets back to the fact that there’s such a strong Israeli influence in the (US) media. That, and also very vocal Christian fundamentalists. They’re very loud in defence of Israel and they don’t like what you say. In the US (what the media presents), the only extremists are the Muslims, but there’s a strange kind of alliance between Christian and Jewish fundamentalists. 
Are you generally optimistic about prospects for a more democratic and peaceful world? 
As long as the Israeli lobby wields such power in Washington, over Democrats or Republicans, the world faces real problems and the US faces real problems. This hegemony is not user-friendly. But I believe this is cracking, because people in the military, in the CIA, in the diplomatic community are getting more vocal publicly. They’re saying, this has got to stop, we can’t continue what we’re doing. It’s a direct challenge to the Israeli lobby, although without saying it in those words. If I died tomorrow, I can feel content I’ve done everything I can to help the Palestinians get their land back, keep American kids from getting their hands and legs blown off, and keep some Jewish people from their own excesses."

["Alexander Brod?" "Human rights activists" are invariably disguised Jews too, or Jewish-funded censorial fronts, who forbid the growing phenomenon of "Jewish fascism" to be examined lest they themselves go under the microscope. We don't agree with everything Korchagin is alleged to represent. (Are the accusations true? Critics of Jews are routinely smeared with healthy doses of fantasy.) But public examination of Jewish power, Jewish racism, and world Zionism is morally, ethically, and politically necessary.]
Russian activists outraged after hate publisher walks free,
by Lev Krichevsky, Jewish Telegraphic Agency, December 2, 2004
"Jewish leaders and human rights activists in Russia are outraged by a sentence handed down in the case of a publisher known for printing anti-Semitic articles. Alexander Brod, the director of the Moscow Bureau for Human Rights, said activists would seek new opportunities to bring Viktor Korchagin to justice for activities that include the publication of a Russian edition of Hitler’s “Mein Kampf.” On Nov. 24, a Moscow court found Korchagin guilty of publishing hate materials and gave him a one-year suspended sentence, which was immediately annulled because of the statute of limitations. Boris Stambler, who has for several years tried to have charges brought against Korchagin, called the sentence “a mockery of common sense, facts and law.” “Under the pretext of statute of limitations, the court has de facto acquitted Korchagin,” said Stambler, a Jewish veteran of World War II. The verdict, which was welcomed by ultranationalist leaders, was the result of four years of court battles waged by Stambler and other Jewish activists. “I feel a serious concern that the culprit was not punished,” one of Russia’s chief rabbis, Berel Lazar, said in a statement. “The freedom of speech should have its limits. One cannot cover up one’s actions by freedom of speech in order to abuse, and call for pogroms and deportations.” Korchagin, appearing unrepentant, called the ruling a victory. Two years ago, a Moscow court shut down one of Korchagin’s newspapers for publishing hate materials and calling for the deportation of Jews and other minorities. The decision on Russkie Vedomosti, or Russian Gazette, marked the first time that a media outlet was closed down in Russia under a media law that includes a ban on distribution of anti-Semitic and hate propaganda. Despite the 2002 court ruling, Korchagin continued to call for a solution of the “Jewish question” through the deportation of Russia’s Jews in his other publications. He is the founder of a small publishing house called Vityaz, or Knight, that made a name for itself in conservative circles by publishing the “Library of a Russian Patriot.” The collection of 25 paperback books includes such titles as the 19th-century anti-Semitic forgery, “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion,” a Russian translation of Henry Ford’s “International Jewry” and the writings of Jurgen Graf, a leading Holocaust denier ... Since the end of communism, only one individual has served a prison sentence for publishing hate materials, even though dozens of anti-Semitic and xenophobic books and magazines are being published in Russia, according to human rights watchers." [By the way, Rabbi Berel Lazar, the chief rabbi of Russia, is quoted in this article as some sort of moral authority. He's a Chabad. What is Chabad? And how powerful are they? Here's what you need to know to understand the moral sleight-of-hand in such articles that attack alleged non-Jewish bigotry.]

[So, what's the absolute evidence that Israel HAS NOT brought AIDS to the Middle East? Insofar as the Western world is supposed to be an aggregate of "open" societies wherein free speech is championed to debate any issue, how is it that to suggest Israeli influence in spreading AIDS in the Middle East means instant banning? The issue is at least a question of semantics, is it not? Israel is a world center of sex slave trafficking, and that's well documented. Western Jewry also dominates the pornography racket. It doesn't seem that great of a leap to wonder if AIDS in the Middle East has been spread with a lot of help from the Jewish state, one way or another, intentionally or unintentionally. The whole point in a truly free society, one would think, would be a public discussion about whether or not it is true. Everyone gets their experts discussing the issue on TV and let the viewers decide the value of the evidence, pro or con. If the accusations are stupid, the accusers come off looking like jerks. If the accusations seem reasonable, their nemeses look like the censors they usually are. But Western cultures don't work that way any more. They bend over backwards to accommodate Jewish censorship about all and everything. That's the starting point, and end point. There is nothing in between.]
PM CALLS FOR BAN ON ARAB TV CHANNEL OVER ISRAEL AIDS REMARKS ,
Toqueville Connection (The Insider's Web Source for French News and Analysis), December 2, 2004
"French Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin on Thursday called for a television channel close to the Lebanese Shiite group Hezbollah to be taken off air after accusing Israel of exporting AIDS to the Middle East. Al-Manar was authorised to broadcast by satellite inside the European Union only two weeks ago after it signed an agreement wih France's Higher Audiovisual Council (CSA) not to incite hatred or violence. But Raffarin told the French Senate "Al-Manar's programmes are incompatible with our values. It is clear they will lead to the termination of the contract between the CSA and Al-Manar." On November 23, monitors recorded an "expert on affairs relative to the Zionist entity" who in a press review spoke of "Zionist attempts to transmit dangerous diseases like AIDS via exports to the Arab states." On Wednesday, the CSA made an official submission to France's highest administrative court, the state council, asking it to outlaw Al-Manar, which is relayed by the Paris-based company Eutelsat. The state council is to rule by December 15. Raffarin said he regretted not having the powers to shut down Al-Manar's broadcasts by government decree. "That is why I will launch an initiative very soon to give us the means to interrupt immediately any programmes that transmit hate, violence and human indignity." In Israel, Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom issued a statement praising the French government and taking credit for its action against Al-Manar. "We congratulate the French government for taking this decision ... Our ministry has campaigned against Hezbollah in Europe and the step taken by the French government is one of the results of this campaign," he said. Raffarin said the Al-Manar issue would be brought up at the meeting of European heads of government later this month. "We need to bring a European response to this propaganda of hate," he said."

[Old article for consideration: if the Jewish state is sick enough to look for a way to kill Arabs, particularly Iraqis, en masse via gene research in biological warfare, the idea that Israel is also spreading AIDS in the Middle East isn't so crazy, is it? The AIDS accusation is actually less outrageous than the real story below:]
 Israel Planning "Ethnic Bomb" as Saddam Caves In.
Sunday Times [London], November 15, 1998
"In developing their 'ethno-bomb,' Israeli scientists are trying to exploit medical advances by identifying distinctive genes carried by some Arabs, then create a genetically modified bacterium or virus. The intention is to use the ability of viruses and certain bacteria to alter the DNA inside their host's living cells. The scientists are trying to engineer deadly micro-organisms that attack only those bearing the distinctive genes. The programme is based at the biological institute in Nes Tziyona, the main research facility for Israel's clandestine arsenal of chemical and biological weapons. A scientist there said the task was hugely complicated because both Arabs and Jews are of semitic origin. But he added: 'They have, however, succeeded in pinpointing a particular characteristic in the genetic profile of certain Arab communities, particularly the Iraqi people.' The disease could be spread by spraying the organisms into the air or putting them in water supplies. The research mirrors biological studies conducted by South African scientists during the apartheid era and revealed in testimony before the truth and reconciliation commission. The idea of a Jewish state conducting such research has already provoked outrage in some quarters because of parallels with the genetic experiments of Dr Josef Mengele, the Nazi scientist at Auschwitz."

French seek 'anti-Semitic' TV ban,
by Sebastian Usher, BBC, December 3, 2004
"French PM Jean-Pierre Raffarin has called for a Lebanon-based satellite TV channel backed by Hezbollah to be taken off air for its "anti-Semitic" content. His intervention comes two weeks after al-Manar was authorised to continue broadcasting in Europe by France's media watchdog. The channel signed an undertaking not to incite hatred or violence.Anti-Semitism has recently become a sensitive issue in France after a big rise in attacks on Jewish targets. The furore caused by al-Manar in France was demonstrated by the fact that the prime minister felt it necessary to address the issue in the Senate. Mr Raffarin said he believed the country's media watchdog, the CSA, would have no choice but to stop al-Manar broadcasting to France ... Jewish groups in France have protested in particular about a series on al-Manar portraying Zionism as a criminal conspiracy. Al-Manar argues that it is not anti-Semitic, but anti-Israeli. It says moves to ban it have been orchestrated by Israel for political reasons ... In order to be allowed to continue broadcasting to France, it recently signed an agreement with the French broadcasting authorities not to show programmes that might incite violence or hatred on religious or national grounds. The head of the CSA described it as the most rigorous ever imposed on a TV network. But pressure to ban al-Manar has not let up - its output has been closely watched for signs of anti-Semitism. Last week, monitors recorded a commentator on the channel speaking of what he called "Zionist attempts to transmit Aids to Arab countries". On Wednesday, the CSA asked the highest administrative court in France to suspend the channel. In his comments to the Senate, Mr Raffarin said he regretted there was currently no law to allow the government to ban the station immediately, but pledged to work towards introducing one. Israeli Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom has congratulated France for moving against al-Manar."

[Endemic Jewish censorship very much includes censorship within the Jewish community. There is much to be ashamed about in the Jewish community -- in their own homes and across the world. For many, it appears to be too much to honestly face.]
Program to address Jewish domestic violence,
Mackenzie Carpenter, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, December 4, 2004
"When Dr. Abraham Twerski started writing and lecturing about the problem of domestic violence in the Jewish community in the mid-1990s, the response was less than enthusiastic.No publishers would take his now much-praised book on the subject, "The Shame Borne in Silence," so he had to self-publish it. Many bookstores refused to sell it. And when he gave speeches on domestic abuse, posters announcing the program were torn down. "Some of the people read the book and told me, you saved my life, but others called me a scoundrel, how dare you besmirch your Jewish brethren?" recalled Twerski, an Orthodox rabbi and psychiatrist who founded the region's Gateway Rehabilitation Centers. But Twerski said he's seen a shift toward greater awareness in recent years. Rabbis are beginning to take notice and speaking out about the problem, as are Jewish family social service organizations and private psychotherapists. Tomorrow, in another first, the Domestic Violence Task Force of Pittsburgh is sponsoring a program called "Breaking the Silence" at the Jewish Community Center of Greater Pittsburgh, to educate Jewish abuse victims about how they can seek help ... For too long, Twerski said, there was a myth in the Jewish community that domestic violence just doesn't happen. It does, but to what degree isn't known. While most studies of intimate partner violence say the rate of occurrence in the general population is between 25 and 35 percent, there is little hard data about the Jewish community, according to a report issued by the Jewish Women International, a national women's advocacy group. Still, the report said, "clinical and other data support the assertion that domestic abuse is a significant and under-recognized issue that impacts Jewish homes and families." In fact, Twerski believes, there's greater denial of the problem among Jews, in part because of the fear of "shondeh," or shame, as well as a sense of responsibility, especially among women, to maintain "shalom bayit," or "peace in the home." "People always said if you want a husband who doesn't drink, carouse or doesn't beat you, marry a Jewish boy, which is a myth that has to be dispelled," Twerski said. "Shalom bayit does not mean peace at all costs." Jewish women often do take a long time to leave abusive relationships, said Bari Benjamin, a therapist at Jewish Family and Child Services in Squirrel Hill, who will be one of the panelists in tomorrow's program. "They tend to feel personally responsible for their problems." And as a minority group, she added, Jews are afraid "to discuss this because it might be interpreted as a sign of weakness at a time when the group needs to show a united front." There are other obstacles facing abuse victims, including financial concerns, fear of losing children in custody battles, or being able to obtain a Jewish divorce. "In order to be fully divorced according to Jewish law, the husband must give his wife a 'get,' and she cannot force him to do so," wrote Rachel Nathanson in an article published in a Yeshiva University academic journal this fall. "Since wife beating is always an expression of power and control, it logically follows that many abusers will refuse to give a 'get,' thereby trapping his wife in a dangerous marriage."

[This censorial crap is everywhere throughout the world and it is the lifeblood of modern Jewry --Storm Trooper Zionist Jews dictating what others may witness, read, think, and feel. Concern for the Palestinians equals "hate." Objections against Jewish racism and apartheid equals "hate." The organized Jewish community is morally bankrupt. They are ensuring a horrible black malaise over those they claim to represent which is going to haunt them for a long, long time. Anyone who dares to face down massive JEWISH "hate" is decreed to be a hater. Boycott Israel.]
Israel boycott row hits college. University attacked for 'anti-Israel' conference,
by Polly Curtis, The Guardian (UK), December 4, 2004
"London University School of Oriental and African Studies has come under fire for agreeing to host a conference tomorrow at which academics begin a campaign to break links with Israeli universities, significantly increasing an academic boycott of Israel. Jewish groups accuse the organisers, the school's Palestinian Society, of inciting hatred by calling the conference Resisting Israeli Apartheid: Strategies and Principles. The Jewish Society has also lodged a complaint with the school about its decision to allow the poet and academic Tom Paulin to deliver a keynote address. Paulin was criticised in 2002 when he was quoted in the Arab newspaper Al-Ahram Weekly as saying that Jewish settlers "should be shot dead". He later claimed that he had been misquoted. The speakers at the conference include Professors Steven and Hilary Rose, who began the call for an academic boycott of Israel more than two years ago in a letter to the Guardian, and the linguist Mona Baker, who was the subject of an official inquiry by the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology after she sacked two Israeli members of a journal she edited. Gavin Gross, of the school's Jewish Society, said: "I see this conference as an out-and-out hate conference which is solely there to delegitimise Israel and its people. It makes no pretence of balance. "Soas has a reputation for being the centre of political extremism. In the past this has only meant the vilification of Israel; there's no attempt at all to achieve an understanding of the conflict." Danny Stone, of the Union of Jewish Students, which is organising a counter-meeting at Soas tomorrow, said he had attended a meeting with the university to ask for extra security to ensure the safety of Jewish students on campus. But one of the conference organisers, Awad Joumaa, a coordinator of the Palestinian Society, said: "We are promoting peace and equality for the Palestinian people. "We are not the ones inciting hatred here. We are the ones under attack. If having an academic conference is inciting hatred, I don't know what their definition of it is" ... Colin Bundy, the director of Soas, said he had received a "substantial" volume of email objecting to the decision to host the conference. "One of the things that has upset me is that Soas has been accused of being institutionally biased, that we're anti-Israel or pro-Arab. 'In fact we probably do more on the Middle East than any other university." He added that they were making "appropriate preparation" to ensure a peaceful event, but refused to discuss what this would involve. The conference will mark the launch of a new boycott organisation, the British Committee for Universities in Palestine. Hilary Rose, who is coordinating the campaign, said that it marked a substantial escalation of the boycott movement. "We want people to think about the depth of the moral challenge of the boycott. It's not an easy matter for any academic to do this, it's a measure of our despair at our government's inability to take the situation seriously and work for a just peace." The committee has drawn up a manifesto calling on academics to break links with Israel by refusing to work with Israeli institutions, referee academic papers, grant applications or attend conferences."
