The Zionist Organization of America supports the initiative by U.S. Congressman Steve Rothman (D-NJ) to expose and challenge the bigotry that has been published in issues of the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs. Statements that have recently appeared in the Washington Report include:
"The Nazis may have killed 3 million, not 6 million, Jews." The May/June 1998 issue published an article which claimed there is "new evidence" suggesting that far fewer than six million Jews were murdered by the Nazis. "This new evidence, if true, would cut in half the Zionists' original claim that six million Jews had died under the Nazi regime. It would also raise the questions of, 'Why did the Zionists grossly exaggerate the original numbers of Jewish victims?'" The article was authored by William Hughes, identified as "a Baltimore based writer and radio commentator."
[When one of the Washington Report's columnists wrote in to complain about Hughes' references to the Holocaust, the editors refused to retract or apologize, stating only: "It appears that we got well beyond our depth here, with readers offering objections to implications that were unintended, overlooked, or both." That was followed by a letter from a Polish American official complaining about Hughes' reference to Auschwitz as "a Polish death camp." To that complain, the editors replied: "Clearly the author (and the editors must share the blame) did not mean to imply that the camp established in Nazi-occupied Poland was operated by Poles." (September 1998)
"Most major newspapers are owned by Jews." A study by AIPAC (Near East Report, July 27, 1998) noted the Washington Report's references to Jews controlling the media: "[E]very New York daily newspaper...is Jewish owned...Technically speaking, the Washington Post...is not Jewish-owned. But it is owned by the descendants of the late Eugene Meyer, who was Jewish...The newspaper's executive editor and its editorial page editor and her deputy are all Jewish...The Newhouse publications are Jewish-owned...Only one national daily newspaper, The Christian Science Monitor,...[is] not answerable to Jewish owners and is not dependent upon Jewish-owned businesses" (December 1997).
"Israel-firsters are to blame for the Monica Lewinsky scandal." Responding to a reader's letter, the editors of the Washington Report wrote in the May-June 1998 issue: "What we suspect is that Newsweek and others who have known elements of the Monica story for months might not have broken it so suddenly and sensationally if Bill Clinton had not outlived his usefulness to the Israel-firsters. We believe some of them concluded that Israel's purposes might be better served if Al Gore finished out Bill Clinton's second term." "Most senior U.S. government officials are Jews." "In the State Department, the occupant of every position designated for assistant secretaries of state for regional affairs is Jewish or soon will be...[A] large percentage of other top-echelon State Department political appointees and ambassadors are Jewish...So are a lot of other White House policymakers...[In Health and Human Services] most...second echelon officials are Jewish. So are a remarkably high percentage of top officials in the National Institutes of Health...At the Pentagon and CIA, at political appointee levels...things are not that different." (January-February 1998).
"Zionists in the U.S. media and Hollywood." After the Holocaust, "Americans, who had no role in the persecution of Europe's Jews, also were so remote from the Middle East that they didn't know who or where the Palestinians were. So the Americans could be manipulated by dedicated Zionists in the U.S. media and Hollywood to identify with the Jewish aggressors rather than the dispossessed Muslim and Christian victims." (Richard H. Curtiss, executive editor of the Washington Report, in the June-July 1997 issue.)
"Israel controls Congress, the media, the White House and the State Department." "The mainstream media and Congress always were Israeli-occupied territory. Now so are the White House and the State Department." ("Publishers' Page," June-July 1997 issue.)
"Israel is planning a Nazi-style 'Final Solution'." "Israel's Likud government almost certainly will begin looking for a chance, during the chaos it is orchestrating, to begin on a mass scale what the Likud Party calls the 'transfer' of the Palestinians. The Serbs called it 'ethnic cleansing,' Hitler called it 'the final solution,' the world calls it genocide. They're all synonyms for the deadly program Binyamin Netanyahu seems to be setting in motion, while the Clinton administration says not a word." ("Publishers' Page," January -February 1997 issue)
"Racist, Bigoted, Genocidal Zionazis." "Pro-Israel PACs heedlessly put Americans on the side of Racist, Bigoted, Genocidal Zionazis [sic] in the Middle East, and thus ensure that American tourists, businesspeople, and servicemembers continue to be killed there." (From the "Publishers' Page," June 1995 issue) "Supporters of Israel are a monstrous cancer." The Detroit Jewish News published an investigative report on the Washington Report on January 1, 1993. It noted that an Anti-Defamation League study of the Washington Report found that "it has referred to American Jewish supporters of Israel as a 'monstrous cancer in the American body politic' and accused 'Israel's supporters' of 'occupying influential positions throughout U.S. society--not just in the media...' This is standard anti-Semitic rhetoric."
Now, until you can prove that anything in this post as regards to the fact that the lies about Israel posted above did not appear in the Washington Report I will have to assume you agree with the lies, and are therefore a liar, or, you are unable to admit that I did what you have been whining about, and posted proof of lies about Israel in the Washington Report.
Going to step up to the plate? Parenthetically, Rudy Giuliani has stated he considers Pollard's sentence too severe. Dare you impugn his loyalty too?
I will check back to see if you have been able to disprove my post in any manner.
Where are the "lies about Israel"? There may be some issues you disagree with, but that is not a lie. It is an opinion. You see, everyone doesn't think just like you (thank God). A difference of opinion is not a lie. I know this is hard for you to understand. You see, the Zionist Organization of America thinks that Jonathan Pollard should be pardoned. I don't, because the bas---- spyed against my country while on the payroll of Israel. This is not a "lie" on the part of the ZOA, its an opinion...get the difference?
