Some think that Hitler didn't know about the Holocaust. While there is no proof that he did, I feel convinced that he intended to kill off all of the Jews and undesireables in Europe. Because of my last name (and eating Kosher), I often get mistaken for being Jewish, and I see some of the hidden resentment, even hatred against Jewish peoples. This is awful, and even Zionists have been whipping up anti-Semitism if it served their various ends. Jim Marrs has been writing and speaking out against antisemitism for a number of years, and he has a few books out on the topic. It's ironic that Henry Ford (who was antisemitic during part of his life) learned about the influence of the Zionists from Jewish passengers onboard a ship he was on for a peace envoy during the first world war. Stay educated, and don't let anyone pit you against your neighbor. Don't believe authority figures who ridicule private citizens, or who try to get you to ignore others. Don't believe authority figures who try to use subtle threats or aggressive language to keep people quiet. And if a Jew comes up to you and tries to warn you about something, then damnit, you'd better listen! http://www.pledgebank.com/stopantisemitism#comment_190096 what's wrong with a campaign against anti semitism do you not think it's important to speak out against anti semitism . http://www.pledgebank.com/stopantisemitism#comment_188216 A campaign against pro-semitism would be at least as worthy http://www.pledgebank.com/stopantisemitism#comment_185132 Hashemi Rafsanjani, the former president of Iran, has threatened Israel with nuclear destruction, boasting that an attack would kill as many as five million Jews. Rafsanjani estimated that even if Israel retaliated by dropping its own nuclear bombs, Iran would probably lose only fifteen million people, which he said would be a small "sacrifice" from among the billion Muslims in the world. Now listen to the current President of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who denies the Nazi Holocaust, but calls for a modern Holocaust that would "wipe Israel off the map." Despite these anti-Semitic and genocidal threats, some of the hard left admire Nasrallah and his bigoted organization, as well as Iran and its anti-Semitic president. Others do not seem to take his threats seriously. For example, the notorious Jewish anti-Semite Norman Finkelstein has said, "looking back my chief regret is that I wasn't even more forceful in publicly defending Hezbollah against terrorist intimidation and attack." Finkelstein's hatred of Jews runs so deep that he has actually implied that his own mother, who survived the Nazi Holocaust, may have collaborated with the Nazis. If so collaboration with evil seems to run in the family, because Finkelstein has clearly become a collaborator with Hezbollah anti-Semitism and Nazism. Finkelstein's website is filled with Hezbollah promotion, including breathless reprints of Nasrallah speeches. Noam Chomsky, who works closely with Finkelstein, has said of Finkelstein that he is "a person who can speak with more authority and insight on these topics [Israel and anti-Semitism] than anyone I can think of." The Iran-Hezbollah axis is the greatest threat to world peace, to Jewish survival, to Western values, and to civilization. Those like Finkelstein, who support Hezbollah, and even those who refuse to fight against this evil, are on the wrong side of history. They are collaborators with Islamofascists -- today's version of Nazism http://www.pledgebank.com/stopantisemitism#comment_185130 Husseini planned a death camp for Jews modeled on Auschwitz, to be located in Nablus. He broadcast on Nazi Radio, calling for genocide against all the world's Jews: "kill the Jews wherever you find them--this pleases God, history, and religion." Professor Edward Said has acknowledged that this Nazi collaborator and genocidal anti-Semite "represented the Palestinian Arab consensus" and was "the voice of the Palestinian people." Yasser Arafat referred to Husseini as "our hero." Never before or since in world history has a tyrannical regime sought to murder all of the members of a particular racial, religious, ethnic or cultural group, regardless of where they live--not until now. Hezbollah's aim is not to "end the occupation of Palestine," or even to "liberate all of Palestine." Its goal is to kill the world's Jews. Listen to the words of its leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah: "If Jews all gather in Israel, it will save us the trouble of going after them worldwide." (NY Times, May 23, 2004, p. 15, section 2, column 1.) Nasrallah is one of the most admired men in the Muslim and Arab world today. Hitler made similar threats in Mein Kampf but they were largely ignored. Nasrallah has a reputation for keeping his promises. His genocidal goals--to kill all Jews--were proven by two recent statements. He has warned the Arabs and Muslims to leave Haifa so that his rockets can kill only Jews. And he apologized for causing the deaths of three Israeli-Arabs in Nazareth, when a Katuysha struck that religiously mixed Israeli city. Hezbollah also worked hand-in-hand with Argentine neo-Nazis to blow up a Jewish community center, murdering dozens of Jews. Nasrallah is a modern day Hitler, who currently lacks the capacity to carry out his genocide. But he is an ally of Iran, which will soon have the capacity to kill Israel's five million Jews. Listen to what the former President of Iran has said about how Iran would use its nuclear weapons: http://www.pledgebank.com/stopantisemitism#comment_185129 The uniqueness of the Holocaust was not the Nazi's determination to kill the Jews of Germany and even of neighboring Poland. Other genocides, such as those by the Cambodians and the Turks, sought to rid particular areas of so called undesirables by killing them. The utter uniqueness of the Holocaust was the Nazi plan to "ingather" all the Jews of the world to the death camp and end the Jewish "race" forever. It almost succeeded. The Nazis ingathered tens of thousands of Jews (including babies, women, the elderly) from far flung corners of the world--from the Island of Rhodes from Salonika and from other obscure locations -- in order to gas them at Auschwitz and at other death camps. The official leader of the Palestinian Muslims, Haj Amin al-Husseini, the grand mufti of Jerusalem, collaborated in the Nazi genocide, declaring that he sought to "solve the problems of the Jewish element in Palestine and other Arab countries" by employing "the same method" being used "in the Axis countries". Husseini, who spent the war years in Berlin and was later declared a Nazi war criminal at Nuremberg, wrote the following in his memoirs: Our fundamental condition for cooperating with Germany was a free hand to eradicate every last Jew from Palestine and the Arab world. I asked Hitler for an explicit undertaking to allow us to solve the Jewish problem in a manner befitting our national and racial aspirations and according to the scientific methods innovated by Germany in the handling of its Jews. The answer I got was: "The Jews are yours." http://www.pledgebank.com/stopantisemitism#comment_184115 worrying figures on the parliamentary report on anti semitism recently anti semitism has doubled this has especially shown itself in phsysical asssault on jewish people and jewish business e.g. a jewish restaurant in golder's green i will give you the full article on this tomoz http://www.pledgebank.com/stopantisemitism#comment_168414 okay recently i was speaking to a friend and we had a frank debate about israel what it then turned into was anti semitism he said israel was created so the jews could control the world , i mean how many bearded jews and i quote from him have you seen fighting sinisterly for control of the world .. just another example for me that anti semitism is alive and kicking . thankyou very much muhammad yusuf for your message i oppose all forms of racism and religious hatred and i am very glad you have signed this pledge. http://www.pledgebank.com/stopantisemitism#comment_163284 It is very important that clergy and lay people of all faiths stand together vigorously to oppose all forms of prejudice and violence, including both Anti-Jewish Anti-Semitism and Islamophobia. As a Muslim imam, I am very pleased to support this pledge and commend it to Muslim sisters and brothers. In a plural society, we must become advocates for each other and stand firmly against injustices committed against our Christian and Jewish neighbours, part of the same family of Abraham (peace be upon him). http://www.pledgebank.com/stopantisemitism#comment_158349 Stephen,I've read most of your comments. I amopposed to anti-Semitism, but I think your lack of education on middle eastern history and the origin sof Abraham, Isaac,Ishmael (a Muslim over 1000 years before the religion appeared on the world scene?) means that you are not the best person to campaign on this subject. I'm very fortunate in having lived for 4 months in Jerusalem and having taken the time to read up on both biblical history and modern history I think you need to study some more. Anti-Semitism,which should not be confused with being anti-Jewish per se, anti-Israel or anti-Zionism, is a horrible creed, but it needs intelligent debate to defeat it. I'm sorry, butI don't think you are up to it. You cannot use English grammar correctly, you cannot spell and you have limited knowledge of the subject. I wish you well, but this subject is too important to be trivialised by poor punctuation and historic inaccuracies. http://www.pledgebank.com/stopantisemitism#comment_154258 i understand i know those who say it are extremist muslims and are not moderate muslims ( the majority are ) but i just feel i need to bring stuff like that to attention then maybe people will be shocked enough by it to do something about stopping anti semitism. http://www.pledgebank.com/stopantisemitism#comment_153733 stephen i read your comment dated 13th august in which you stated that al manar tv criticised the Holy Torah and made evil remarks about Allah/Yaweh. As a muslim i am shocked to hear that other muslims would say such a thing that is classified as heresy and blasphamy in our religion.The Holy Torah is our holy book too and direspecting it is like disrespecting the Holy Quran and hence amounts to heresy.also Jews believe in the same God as us muslims which is a fact.Yahweh is the hebrew name of God as ALLAH is the arabic name for God. i oppose antisemitism and oppose all forms of intolerance. rather than muslims and jews blame and fight eachother they should focus on what they have in common with eachother and upon that build a bond of friendship and trust and learn how to co-exist with eachother as friends and not foes. http://www.pledgebank.com/stopantisemitism#comment_140918 does anyone have the email of j-soc. http://www.pledgebank.com/stopantisemitism#comment_140589 Stephen- Thank you so much for bringing attention to this pressing problem. I also think anti-semitism is very prevalent and not always immediately obvious, due to political correctness and the fact that, thankfully, there are nowadays also a lot of people who strongly oppose antisemitism, so it has to hide itself more. One of the ways it appears to do this is by not just criticising Israel, which is legitimate, but by doing so in an extreme and unfair manner. You can tell by the way people phrase things and the way their face srews up. Seeing the way the BBC covers the war in Lebanon, I was left with the sickly impression that they cared less for the ruined lives in the region than for using the situation as propaganda 'ammunition', to undermine Israel. They tried to present Israeli strikes as random, ignoring the fact that they were on sites from which deadly missiles were launched or guided, or at least thought to be such. Now this may be, as many have reported, because they were actually set up by Hezboullah, who organised rushing ambulances and got people to pose with the rubble, even hinting at death-threats to make reporters toe the line- http://hotair.com/archives/2006/08/15/video-fox-airs-german-clip-of-green-helmet-staging-the-scene-at-qana/ (To be fair the BBC did after a time have reporters covering the situation in Israel and interviewing people there, though these were more like normal reporting than propeganda pieces.) The whole comment is here- http://starfiretalks.blogspot.com/2006/08/campaign-against-antisemitism.html http://www.pledgebank.com/stopantisemitism#comment_139438 the hizbollah thing was meant to say hizbollah is fighting against all jews http://www.pledgebank.com/stopantisemitism#comment_139437 They have also included a proliferation of anti-Semitic expression and support for the terrorist groups Hamas and Hezbollah, both from speakers and on signage visible at the rallies. Some recent examples include: During an August 5 rally in New York City, one speaker chanted in Arabic, "Nasrallah dear: bomb Tel Aviv … bomb Kiryat Shmona. Another speaker said, "We need a Hezbollah style organization in this country … resistance." At a rally in Dearborn, Michigan, on August 1, demonstrators held a sign that read: "Side By Side We Shall Stand Holding Hezbollah Flags In Our Hands!" During a previous rally in Dearborn on July 19, one of the speakers said, "We know that the president is being bought by the Zionist lobby. We know that the (U.S.) Congress is being bought by the Zionist lobby. Demonstrators at a rally in Los Angeles on July 19 carried signs with Israeli flags and swastikas on them. http://www.pledgebank.com/stopantisemitism#comment_139436 Anti semitism in USA Atlanta, GA, August 9, 2006 … The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) expressed outrage over the incident last evening in which members of Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney's security entourage, including individuals associated with the New Black Panther Party, physically and verbally attacked members of the media, spewing racist and anti-Semitic epithets. "It's astonishing that in a democratic election anti-Semitism still rears its ugly head. Once again some McKinney supporters have resorted to anti-Semitism and racist language and are blaming Jews for her loss to an African-American opponent," stated Shelley Rose, ADL's Southeast Region Associate Director. "The fact that she has frequently included The New Black Panther Party -- which is perhaps the largest organized anti-Semitic and racist Black hate group in America-- in her security entourage is extremely troubling." Following McKinney's concession speech, a reporter attempted to ask the Congresswoman why she thought she lost. The New Black Panther member interrupted, shouting, "Why do you think she lost? You wanna know what led to the loss? Israel. The Zionists. You. Put on your yarmulke and celebrate." "This incident is reminiscent of the 2002 campaign in which Rep. McKinney's father "blamed the J-E-W-S" for her defeat," said Ms. Rose. "Rep. McKinney did not distance herself from the anti-Semitic comments then, and her service in Congress has been clouded by a perception that she also harbors such feelings." THE WORLD NEEDS TO VIGILANT ABOUT ANTI SEMITISM PLEASE SIGN THIS PLEDGE . http://www.pledgebank.com/stopantisemitism#comment_139428 also stop the war , why did you start a march saying we are all hizbollah what you are all think it's right then to deny the holocaust , to be anti semitic , so much so to get banned on french tv , to prepare for a war with israel for 6 years , that is why i can't respect groups like yours. http://www.pledgebank.com/stopantisemitism#comment_139427 also recently mel gibson has just recently said in a drunken outburst that jews are to blame for all the world's wars this along with his controversial some say anti semitic film the passion of the christ ( which led to jews being called christ killers again) what example are famous celebrities giving us not a very good one if this is to go by .
