THE REAL MOTIVE BEHIND THE
“DEPARTMENT OF GLOBAL ANTI-SEMITISM”
By Rev. Ted Pike
On October 16, 2004 President Bush signed into law the Global
Anti-Semitism Review Act. It establishes a special department
within the U.S. State Department to monitor global anti-Semitism,
reporting annually to Congress.
This is more “Hate Crimes” legislation, orchestrated by the
international Jewish religious, educational, and fraternal
organization, B’nai B’rith, and its Anti-Defamation League. The
new “Department of Global Anti-Semitism” is designed to make
critics of Israel not only into “anti-Semites” but ultimately into
“domestic terrorists.”
But first, what is anti-Semitism? Simple: It is the racist
belief that Jews, because of heredity, are evil, greedy,
corrupting, subversive, degenerate, etc. Hitler believed this. So
do the KKK and certain “Christian identity” and white supremacist
groups.
Such dehumanization of Jews is evil, un-Christian, un-American.
On the other hand, if the actions of individual Jews,
Jewish institutions, Jewish religious or secular leaders, or the
nation Israel have been evil, then vehement criticism is not
anti-Semitic. It is courageous and laudable. Certainly, the
Biblical prophets, including Christ, engaged in vitriolic
criticism of the sinful nation Israel and its false leaders. No
one considers them anti-Semitic.
TWISTED DEFINITIONS OF “ANTI-SEMITISM”
However, in its “Report on Global Anti-Semitism” and “Global
Anti-Semitism Report,” the U.S. State Department ignores the above
perspectives. Here is a list of beliefs or activities the U.S.
government now considers anti-Semitic:
- Any assertion “that the Jewish community controls
government, the media, international business and the financial
world” is anti-Semitic.
- “Strong anti-Israel sentiment” is anti-Semitic.
- “Virulent criticism” of Israel’s leaders, past or present,
is anti-Semitic. According to the State Department,
anti-Semitism occurs when a swastika is portrayed in a cartoon
decrying the behavior of a past or present Zionist leader. Thus,
a cartoon that includes a swastika to criticize Ariel Sharon’s
brutal 2002 invasion of the West Bank, raining “hell-fire”
missiles on hapless Palestinian men, women and children, is
anti-Semitic. Similarly, when the word “Zionazi” is used to
describe Sharon’s saturation bombing in Lebanon in 1982 (killing
17,500 innocent refugees), it is also “anti-Semitic.”
- Criticism of the Jewish religion or its religious leaders or
literature (especially the Talmud and Kabbalah) is anti-Semitic.
- Criticism of the U.S. government and Congress for being
under undue influence by the Jewish-Zionist community (including
AIPAC) is anti-Semitic.
- Criticism of the Jewish-Zionist community for promoting
globalism (the “New World Order”) is anti-Semitic.
- Blaming Jewish leaders and their followers for inciting the
Roman crucifixion of Christ is anti-Semitic.
- Diminishing the “six million” figure of Holocaust victims is
anti-Semitic.
- Calling Israel a “racist” state is anti-Semitic.
- Asserting that there exists a “Zionist Conspiracy” is
anti-Semitic.
- Claiming that Jews and their leaders created the Bolshevik
Revolution in Russia is anti-Semitic.
- Making “derogatory statements about Jewish persons” is
anti-Semitic.
- Denying spiritually disobedient Jews the biblical right to
re-occupy Palestine is anti-Semitic.
- Alleging that Mossad was behind the 9/11 attack is
anti-Semitic.
ANTI-SEMITISM IS A “HATE CRIME”
In the Global Anti-Semitism Report, State Department
spokespersons Ambassador Edward O’Donnell and the head of the
office of global anti-Semitism, Ambassador Michael B. Kozak,
defend the State Department’s definitions. O’Donnell’s statement
that he wants to “end all anti-Semitism and other hate
crimes” reveals that he considers anti-Semitism a hate crime.
Presumably, he would like such a “crime” to be punished.
These State Department reports repeatedly equate “strong,
anti-Israel sentiment” and criticism of matters Jewish with
“hate.” They give no recognition to the possibility that such
criticism might be sincerely motivated not by hate but by moral
indignation or even love for the Jewish people.
The Report on Global Anti-Semitism repeatedly calls for
passage, both nationally and internationally, of “hate crime”
legislation. These laws, the brainchild of B’nai B’rith/ADL, also
have as their ultimate goal making it a “hate crime” to criticize
Jews, matters Jewish, or the state of Israel.
The Report on Global Anti-Semitism reeks with B’nai B’rith/ADL
logic, phraseology, and evidence of their incredible worldwide
organizational and statistic-gathering capacities. It contains
thirty-three pages of minute documentation of “anti-Semitic
incidents” in fifty-eight countries of the world, documentation
which only B’nai B’rith/ADL, with its offices in more than fifty
countries, could compile or even be that vitally interested in.
Without a doubt, as with hate laws, this Global Anti-Semitism
Review Act is their creation.
CRITICISM-FREE ZONE FOR JEWS
Thus, the Department of Anti-Semitism, applauded and advised by
B’nai B’rith/ADL, is working to create a worldwide “criticism-free
zone” for Jews in the “New World Order” that is coming. This
report ignores whether criticisms of matters Jewish are true. What
must be defended are the sensitivities of the Jewish people!
Consequently, relating such unflattering realities as the
anti-Christian, anti-Gentile contents of the Talmud and Kabbalah,
Jewish origins of bolshevism, Jewish dominance of Hollywood and
the media, Jewish control of Congress through AIPAC, Zionist
atrocities and abrasiveness in the Middle East is anti-Semitic. It
is “hate.” It does not matter that such facts can be easily and
extensively documented, often from impeccable Jewish sources such
as the Encyclopedia Judaica.
All such anti-Semitism, this report says, is a “scourge,” an
“intolerable burden,” which “for an increasingly interdependent
world…must be ended.”
On the other hand, according to the U.S. State Department,
there does exist some possibility that “objective criticism” of
Israel and its leaders can be tolerated - that is, just as long as
such criticism does not “cross the line” and become “strong
anti-Israel sentiment” and “virulent.” Such criticism should not
“demonize” Jews, Jewish religious or political leaders, or the
state of Israel.
However, what may be considered “virulence” or “demonization”
by Zionists may be seen as nothing more than salty truth-telling
by critics of Israel. Hypocritically, the State Department itself
is not above “demonizing” strong critics of Israel in the most
“virulent” terms as a “plague” and “scourge” on mankind!
TURNING “ANTI-SEMITISM” INTO “DOMESTIC
TERRORISM”
The State Department’s twisted definition of anti-Semitism
provides exponential opportunities to persecute Bible-believing
Christians, anti-war activists, Moslems, as well as publishers and
broadcasters in the years ahead. In fact, by turning “strong”
criticism of the American/Zionist coalition into “anti-Semitism
and other hate crimes,” the State Department opens the door to
eventual characterization of those who criticize Israel as not
only anti-Semites but also as “domestic terrorists.”
Here’s how it can be done:
Today, those who raise funds in America to support America’s
and Israel’s terrorist enemies are arrested as “domestic
terrorists.” But what if articulate Americans provided something
else, potentially even more valuable to Israel’s enemies: “strong
criticism” of Israel? Such could weaken Israel morally in the
sight of the world, giving justification to the claims of her
terrorist enemies. Should they also be punished?
As the Second World War was beginning in 1939, Charles Lindberg
was publicly critical of international Jews for inveigling America
into a war to destroy Hitler. Lindberg believed that Hitler should
be allowed to do what he wanted to do most, move east and destroy
“Jewish Communism” in Russia.
In 1944, 30 Americans, who agreed with Lindberg, were arrested
for the crime of “sedition,” weakening America’s resolve in the
fight against fascism. Later investigation under the Freedom of
Information Act revealed that the ADL, attempting to equate
criticism of international Jews with Nazism, had entirely created
the FBI case.
Records revealed that the ADL was “only warming up” by pursuing
sedition convictions against 30 innocent Americans. Their ultimate
ambition was to imprison prominent critics of evil Jewish
leadership, especially Charles Lindberg. Fortunately, ADL’s
attempt to transform 30 critics of international Jews into “Nazis”
failed when the judge died and the case was dissolved.
Today, America and Israel are allies in the “war on terror.”
Tomorrow, especially if the war on terror intensifies and America
and Israel cooperate even more closely, criticism of America’s
ally in the war on terrorism may be construed as “aiding and
abetting the enemy.” Such “strong criticism” or anti-Semitism may
be seen as not only weakening Israel, but America itself.
Turning millions of Americans into anti-Semites for criticizing
Israel is thus a transition toward ADL’s ultimate goal: making
such persons “enemies of the war on terror,” i.e., “domestic
terrorists.”
They then can be prosecuted under Homeland Security laws.
CANADA: ALREADY MAKING “ANTI-SEMITES”
INTO “DOMESTIC TERRORISTS”
In Canada, we are seeing exactly this happen. Ernst Zundel is a
Holocaust revisionist who doubts that a full six million Jews were
deliberately murdered by the Nazis, largely by gassing. He asserts
that untold numbers of Jews in German internment camps, especially
in the last years of the war, died not in gas chambers, but as a
result of massive, well-documented typhus epidemics, which also
killed countless Poles, Gypsies, Russians, etc. Yet in Canada,
thanks to ADL/B’nai B’rith, it is a “hate crime” to lesson to any
degree the six million figure of Holocaust dead, or that most of
them died in gas chambers. Such diminishment is anti-Semitism, a
“hate crime” punishable by harsh fines and imprisonment. Several
years ago Zundel was deported from his home in Tennessee back to
Canada to spend more than two years in solitary confinement in a
Canadian prison. He was then deported back to his native Germany
where he remains in prison.
Under what charge have Canadian authorities been holding
him?
You guessed it. He is a “terrorist threat!”
So it will be for millions of Americans tomorrow if ADL/B’nai
B’rith have their way and the Department of Anti-Semitism’s
twisted definitions of anti-Semitism are allowed to stand.
The Department of Global Anti-Semitism is informing the world
who the “domestic terrorists” of tomorrow will be.
They are you and I.

Demand that all funding and authority for the development of
the Department of Anti-Semitism be rescinded.
Demand that Congressional hearings be held to re-formulate a
workable, balanced definition of “anti-Semitism” - one that
protects Bible-believing Christians, critics of Israel, and
Moslems from persecution as “anti-Semites.”
Also, call into talk shows, especially large, syndicated
ones.
Since the threat of hate laws is “taboo” on most large shows,
do not tell the talk show operator that you want to comment on
that subject. If the topic of the day is even remotely related to
the issue of free speech, terrorism, the Mid-East, etc., begin
with those topics but quickly move the discussion to the threat
of hate laws. Describe how free speech is lost in Canada; how
eleven Christians were arrested under Pennsylvania’s hate law; how
the “Department of Anti-semitism” would make many Americans into
anti-semites.
