Professor
Andrew Fraser, in his response to the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission
finding that his letter to the Parramatta Sun about the problems of a growing
African population violated the Commonwealth Racial Discrimination Act has referred
to the role played by "ethnic lobbyists for Jewish interests", in what the professor
calls an "effort to further their perceived ethnic interest in the growth of a
multi-racial society in Australia". In the course
of articulating his defence he cites in support the work of US academic Professor
Kevin MacDonald. In this paper - helped with research by Mr. Peter Ewer - I want
to explore these issues introduced by Professor Fraser. This is obviously a matter
in the public interest because the issue of the "Israel lobby" and its alleged
power is as a matter of fact an issue of debate, recently fuelled by the publication
of John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt's paper on this topic. Professor
Kevin MacDonald In a remarkable trilogy
of books - "A People That Shall Dwell Alone"; "Separation and Its Discontents";
and "The Culture of Critique" [1] US academic Kevin MacDonald
has presented the most comprehensive critical analysis of Jewish activities, to
be published in the West by a mainstream academic publisher. It is inconceivable
that such works could be published in Australia given the "chilling effect" that
our oppressive racial vilification laws give to the Australian life of mind and
public debate. MacDonald presents, largely for
an American audience, a scholarly, well-referenced analysis of what he calls the
"Jewish group evolutionary strategy". Judaism is a group evolutionary strategy
which has resulted in resource and reproductive competition between Jews and Gentiles.
By way of summary MacDonald argues for the following propositions: 1.
"Judaism is a self-imposed, non-coerced evolutionary strategy"; 2. "Judaism
is a fairly closed group strategy in which much effort has been devoted to resisting
genetic assimilation with surrounding populations"; 3. "Jews have typically
engaged in resource and reproductive competition with "gentile" societies"; 4.
"There is a significant (but limited) degree of within-group altruism"; and 5.
"There is a significant degree of role specialization, characterized by cultural
and eugenic practices centred around intelligence, conscientiousness, high-investment
parenting and group allegiance." [2]
MacDonald
believes that Jews are genetically predisposed to form highly cohesive and protected
ethnocentric groups, and Jewish cultural practices and political activities are
based on the control of members and the development of controlling ideologies.
Jewish exclusivism is a product of biologically-based ethnocentrism, he argues.
MacDonald illustrates this Jewish ethnocentrism with a detailed discussion
of the biblical stories on sojourning by the patriarchs among foreigners. He concludes
that it "is their own experience of sojourning as a highly successful strategy
by which an ethnic group is able to retain its identity and increase its wealth
and reproductive success, even in a diasporas environment that is a cornerstone
of Judaism as a group evolutionary strategy". [3] Such exclusivist
tendencies, MacDonald argues, have resulted in a collectivist culture among the
Jews, from the time of Moses (if he existed) to modern times. It is therefore
no accident, contrary to some opinions, [4] that as MacDonald
puts it "Jews were a necessary component of the Bolshevik Revolution that created
the Soviet Union, and they remained an elite group in the Soviet Union until at
least the post-World War II era" [5] - and arguably beyond.
"Jews were disproportionately represented among the leaders of the Bolshevik Revolution
of 1917" says Chua in "World on Fire". [6] This
thesis, apparently rejected by the Federal Court of Australia and other courts
[7] is also supported by other works. [8]
This thesis was also accepted by the noted Jewish writer Benjamin Ginsberg in
his book "The Fatal Embrace: Jews and the State". [9] MacDonald
argues that the degree of community organisation among Jews has been the key to
Jewish success. Although Jews are said (probably incorrectly) to comprise only
3 per cent of the US population, almost half of America's billionaires are Jewish.
[10] Jewish per capita income in the US is almost double
that of non-Jews, which is a larger gap than the black-white income gap. [11]
But there is hardly any analysis of the causes of this. Leading Jewish authorities
now openly acknowledge that Jews dominate the US media, finance, academic, entertainment
and media sectors, to a degree disproportionate to their numbers. [12]
MacDonald has also documented Jewish
influence in the US "neocon" neoconservative movement, arguing that "neo-conservatism
is indeed a Jewish intellectual and political movement." [13]
Further, in "alliance with virtually the entire organised American Jewish community,
neoconservatism is a vanguard Jewish movement with close ties to the most extreme
nationalistic, aggressive, racialist and religiously fanatic elements within Israel".
[14] Neoconservatism in the US is "a complex interlocking
professional and family network centred around Jewish publicists and organizers
flexibly deployed to recruit the sympathies of both Jews and non-Jews in harnessing
the wealth and power of the United States in the service of Israel".
[15] MacDonald gives a fascinating history of how many Jewish intellectuals
arrived at neoconservatism from a left Trotskyist position. Neoconservatives,
as the late Samuel Francis had observed, subverted traditional conservatism that
they support "this notion of a Christian civilization" as Midge Decter put it,
that they oppose mass immigration, that they criticize Martin Luther King and
reject the racial dispossession of white Western culture". [16]
MacDonald says that "neoconservatives have been staunch supporters of arguably
the most destructive force associated with the Left in the twentieth century -
massive non-European immigration. Support for massive non-European immigration
has spanned the Jewish spectrum throughout the twentieth century to the present.
A principal motivation has involved a deeply felt animosity toward the people
and culture responsible for the immigration restriction of 1924-1965 - "this notion
of a Christian civilization". [17] The exception has been
Daniel Pipes and Stephen Steinlight who "have opposed Muslim - and only Muslim
- immigration because of possible effects on pro-Israel sentiment in the US".
[18] Jewish neocon Ben Wattenberg has said: "The non-Europeanization
of America is heartening news of an almost transcendental quality". [19]
Stephen Steinlight confirms what Kevin
MacDonald documents in detail - the Jewish commitment to open borders and unending
immigration, primarily to suit Jewish interests. Steinlight acknowledges that
at present Jews have a tight control over US immigration policy through the disproportionate
(relative to their population numbers) control of the media, but this situation
could change when White America becomes a minority. After the events of 9/11,
he is particularly concerned about the rapid growth of Islam in the United States
and wonders about the fate of American Jews: "Will our status suffer when the
Judeo-Christian cultural construct yields, first to a Judeo-Christian-Muslim one,
and then to an even more expansive sense of national religious identity?" His
answer is not to halt the destruction of White America by immigration, but rather
to allow it to continue is such a way that Jews still maintain their power. This
is to be done through bringing in the right sorts of migrants (not radical Islam
or those opposing Jewish interests). Yet Steinlight does not think all of this
through deeply enough. Do Asians and Hispanics have a guilt complex about the
Holocaust? Would an Asian/Hispanic America really preserve Jewish interests, or
would, what seems more likely, Jewish power fall when White European America falls?
Jewish economic power has enabled some powerful Jewish groups, MacDonald argues,
to use their power and influence to make criticism of Jewish activities off-limits.
Jewish organisations in the United States, have not only succeeded in censoring
books critical of Israel, but some have operated as spy organizations, collecting
information on individuals which can be used against them. In 1993 it was revealed
that the ADF had illegally broken into confidential police files in San Francisco:
a criminal act. Jewish critic Noam Chomsky describes the ADL as an organization
"devoted to trying to defame and intimidate and silence people who criticize current
Israeli policies." [20] The
Façade of "Social Justice" In chapter
7 of MacDonald's "The Culture of Critique" he examines the Jewish involvement
in shaping US immigration policy. He argues that Jews have a group evolutionary
interest in opposing the maintenance of ethnically, racially and culturally homogenous
societies in which they reside, in order to prevent the development of host in-group
cohesiveness - the very thing that they seek. Jews throughout the West have actively
supported the immigration of non-Europeans into these societies. This, MacDonald
notes, has been done under the façade of "social justice". Yet Jewish intellectuals
today seldom criticise the exclusive racialist immigration policies of East Asian
countries such as Japan and China. Thus Pauline Hanson was mercilously criticised
by the Jewish lobby in Australia, but little criticism was made, for example,
of the human rights abuses of China. Racist attacks of White Britons on Blacks
may be rightly condemned in some Jewish publications, but it is hard to find similar
condemnations of Black attacks on White Britons, even though, for example, in
1999 the Commission for Racial Equality found that the majority of victims of
racial attacks were White, not Black, as documented in their report, "Racial Attacks
and Harassment". [21] Likewise, Jewish publications frequently
condemn White nationalist music (often with merits in their criticisms) but it
is extremely difficult to find sustained critiques of Black rap music, with its
testosterone chants of raping White women and killing White American cops (police).
The sounds of hate are almost always against White, not Black - but the reality
is that there is blame for hate on both sides of the racial divide. Jewish
intellectuals have seen the White Australia Policy and the pre-1965 American immigration
exclusion movement as part of the same "racism" which led to the Holocaust. Never
mind that most White Australians and Americans who defeated Nazism and saved the
Jews, supported these policies. If these soldiers had a vision of the future world
predicted by say Stephen Steinlight, would they have willingly picked up their
rifles? Further, although lip service is given by many Jewish intellectuals to
anti-racism in immigration policy, it is documented that organized Jewry prevented
Arab refugees, driven from their homes by the acts of Jewish terrorists, from
seeking refuge in the United States. [22] MacDonald argues
that this double standard is part of the Jewish group evolutionary strategy. Insightful
remarks have been made by a number of Jewish intellectuals which can be taken
as evidence for MacDonald's thesis. Jewish intellectual Charles Silberman has
said:
"American Jews are committed to cultural
tolerance because of their belief, one firmly rooted in history, that Jews are
safe only in a society acceptant of a wide range of attitudes and behaviours,
as well as a diversity of religious and ethnic groups. It is this belief, for
example, not approval of homosexuality, that leads an overwhelming majority of
American Jews to endorse "gay rights" and to take a liberal stance on most other
so-called "social issues." [23]
Earl
Raab, executive director emeritus of the Perlmutter Institute of Jewish Advocacy
has said: "It was only after World
War II that immigration law was drastically changed to eliminate such discrimination.
In one of the first pieces of evidence of its political coming-of-age, the Jewish
community has a leadership role in effecting these changes." [24]
Raab looks forward to the coming
minority status of Whites in America due to immigration, but does not consider
that an attempt to balance earlier discrimination has led to the greatest possible
discrimination against White Americans: "The
Census Bureau has just reported that about half of the American population will
soon be non-white or non-European. And they will all be American citizens. We
have tipped beyond the point where a Nazi-Aryan party will be able to prevail
in this country. We have been nourishing the American climate of opposition to
ethnic bigotry for about half a century. That climate has not yet been perfected,
but the heterogeneous nature of our population tends to make our constitutional
constraints against bigotry more practical than ever." [25]
There
was never any danger of a Nazi America, but just to be on the safe side, White
America needs to be made an ethnic minority. One could be forgiven for believing
in a conspiracy. [26]
In Australia Miriam Faine
in the magazine Australian Jewish Democrat furnished a good example of
the double standard in action:
"The organized Jewish community, if on nothing else, agrees on 'Strict rules regarding
intermarriage'. We need to remind ourselves that the apostles of a mono-cultural
Australia still see this as a threat, as indeed do large sections of the dominant
culture. Therefore we should make it our business to strike common cause with
other non-Anglo ethnic groups to promote multicultural Australia. With the demise
of Zionism as a doctrine of hope and national fulfilment, and with growing secularisation
on the one hand and religious revisionism on the other, it is precisely such a
multi-cultural society which would give space for Australian Jews to fulfil their
hopes for the continuation of the community. The strengthening of multi-cultural
or diverse Australia is also our most effective insurance policy against anti-Semitism.
The day Australia has a Chinese Australian Governor General I would feel more
confident of my freedom to live as a Jewish Australian". [27]
(emphasis added)
Now let me see
if I have got the logic right: so that the Jewish community can maintain its own
ethnic homogeneity, the ethnic homogeneity of Anglo Australia must go through
the deliberate creation of a multicultural society. "Common cause must be struck
with non-Anglo ethnic groups." That is pretty obviously "discriminatory", maybe
even, arguably, anti-Anglo racism - perish the thought! Forbid the thought! But
of course the Anglo ethnic group has been so deracinated it cannot even recognise
its group interests. But what about the Chinese with their strong sense of ethnocentrism
and no guilt about the Holocaust? Anti-Semitism already flourishes in Japan -
why will China be any different? Jews may have put their bets on the wrong horse.
Michael Gawenda has also given us insights on this issue: "Let
me be blunt. If you are really in favour of multiculturalism, then Australian
Jewry is an outstanding example of an ethnic group that has a 'Jewish' agenda
that somehow does not coincide with what is in the best interests of 'all Australians'.
Often, the way the media portrays the Jewish community will depend on where the
journalist doing the portraying stands on multiculturalism. My belief is that
while many journalists say they are in favour of a multicultural Australia, deep
down, almost unconsciously, they have doubts and fears about such an Australia.
This is not surprising. Multiculturalism is not just about eating sushi and watching
foreign movies on SBS. It is about accepting that Australia will be transformed
both racially and culturally, over the medium and the long-term. That can be frightening.
It can lead to a nostalgia for a simpler, more 'Australian' past. Together with
Geoffrey Blainey and Terry Lane - amongst others - I think many journalists long
for such a vanished past. It is a past that probably never existed, which is often
the case when it comes to nostalgia." [28]
In
reply to Gawenda, the same could be said about the nostalgia of Zionism, with
its own historical myths. [29] The
Jewish Lobby and Australia Much of Professor
MacDonald's work is devoted towards documenting the disproportionate (relative
to population numbers) involvement of Jews in Leftist movements such as free immigration,
Marxism, multiracialism, multiculturalism and feminism. The Jewish lobby in Australia
confirms MacDonald's thesis. Jews were long-time opponents of the White Australia
Policy. [30] As we have already seen, they condemned Jewish
assimilation as "racial suicide", but welcomed other groups assimilating with
Anglo-Australians as well as the immigration of non-Anglo groups to ethnically
dilute the Anglo populations as the above quotes make clear. Jews have also made
a substantial contribution to radical left wing movements in Australia. A disproportionate
number (relative to their population numbers) of radical social activists have
been Jewish, Philip Mendes documents in his book, "The New Left, The Jews and
the Vietnam War 1965-1972". [31] An important more recent
book "Jews and Australian Politics" [32] confirms Mendes'
view. Mendes has said, by way of summary of the political views of Australian
Jews: "My own view on this is
as follows: Most Jews agree with conservative views on matters of economics and
taxation and the Australian-US alliance. But their main politics are not universalistic
- that is, they are focused on specific Jewish concerns such as Israel and anti-Semitism
- and they are generally not interested in traditional conservative concerns such
as the monarchy, abortion, the traditional family and so on. Jews also tend to
be surprisingly liberal on social issues. They don't share socially conservative
views on drugs, feminism, euthanasia, same-sex marriage, refugees and Aborigines.
In many cases those same Jews who support Ariel Sharon and denounce Arab terrorism
are passionate supporters of asylum seekers and are supportive of an apology to
the Stolen Generation. This comes through particularly in letters to the Australian
Jewish News." [34]
The
Jewish lobby, be they left or be they right, have strongly supported high immigration
levels and multiculturalism, as we have seen. Former prime minister Bob Hawke,
who has said that his only regret in life was that he was not born a Jew, surrounded
himself with an array of Jewish businessmen such as Sir Peter Abeles, Neville
Norman, Isi Liebler, Eddie Kornhauser and Saul Same. Hawke was a driving force
in the establishment and implementation of the multicultural industry within the
Federal government in Australia. Jews were appointed to offices such as Chairperson
of the Office of Multicultural Affairs, President of the Human Rights Commission,
President of the Equal Opportunities Commission, among other positions. Race
Vilification Legislation The Jewish lobby
in Australia has been at the vanguard of those seeking racial vilification legislation
in Australia. This legislation was obtained, but lobbying continues to further
tighten it. The present of racial vilification legislation was given to the Jewish
lobby by the Keating Labor government; Keating promised this legislation in a
speech given on 28 May 1994 to the 36th Biennial Conference of the Zionist Federation
of Australia. In 1966 Australia signed the United
Nations Covenant to ban all forms of racial discrimination, at the same time,
the White Australia Policy was being deceptively abandoned. The Whitlam government
passed the Commonwealth Racial Discrimination Act in 1975. The Act was in part
modelled on race hate laws in the United States, many of which have been struck
down for being unconstitutional on First Amendment, freedom of speech grounds.
Thus, the Wisconsin Supreme Court has ruled that a legislature cannot criminalise
"bigoted" thought with which it disagrees. In
Victoria the Jewish lobby campaigned for race hate legislation for many years,
and the ALP ultimately pushed the race hate bill through parliament to gain Jewish
votes for the State and Federal elections. [35] In March
1993, Isi Liebler a Jewish community leader said: "We consider [the racial vilification
legislation] the most important Jewish issue of domestic concern over the next
12 months." [36] A concentrated
push for the passage of race vilification legislation in South Australia was made
in the wake of the desecration of Jewish graves in the West Terrace Cemetery,
Adelaide in July 1995. [37] This offence, although criminal,
was not technically an act of racial vilification - which is directed towards
communications - although the more recent Western Australian legislation deals
with such situations, making "racism" an aggregated offence, added to offences.
At the time, Greek-Australian, Senator Nick Bolkus said, with no evidence, that
this was a grave racist act. [38] Bolkus insisted that the
act was racist before a judicial determination and money for grave restoration
was given to the appropriate Jewish community by the South Australian government.
Bolkus gave $15,000 from the Federal International Year of Tolerance budget to
restore the graves. This incident was used by Bolkus as an argument for racial
vilification laws. [39] At the same time hate phone calls
were said to target South Australian Jews - so that the two events were allegedly
linked as part of an anti-Semitic campaign. [40] The
response: Rann proposed anti-racist laws directed towards controlling
"racist" speech in public. [41] The illogic of it all was
very clear: no such law could control anonymous phone abuse (from, say, a pay
phone) because what is at issue is the identification of the caller. Further,
Magistrate David Swain found that the grave desecration was not racially motivated.
[42] The offenders were psychologically
disturbed and attacked more Christian graves than Jewish graves. However no retractions
occurred - the incident had served its purpose.
It
has been claimed that at a public meeting on the proposed race vilification legislation
held in Adelaide in February 1993 that a number of incidents occurred.
[43] First, an Adelaide Jewish businessman and Holocaust survivor of Auschwitz,
Buchenwald and Therestenstadt was surrounded by 20 National Action supporters,
spat at, menaced and called a "stinking Jew". According to National Action Director
Michael Brander the incident did not occur and in any case there were only a handful
of National Action members at the meeting - not 20. I was at the meeting and agree
with him. It was an orderly if at times an emotionally charged affair. What did
occur in the meeting was a heated exchange between Michael Brander and a number
of Human Rights and Equal Opportunity elites. Emotionally charged? Yes. What's
wrong with that? The Multicultural Lobby:
Professional Ethnics The Jewish lobby
was not the only ethnic lobby supporting the race vilification legislation at
the time. Representatives of the Italian, Vietnamese, Greek and Chinese communities
also joined forces. [44] The representatives of Melbourne's
ethnic communities at the time included Elias Rallis, the vice-president of the
Greek Orthodox community, Robert Chong, representing Melbourne's Chinese community,
Nino Randazzo, editor-in-chief of the Italian-Australian Il Globo, Mark Liebler,
president of the Zionist Federation of Australia and Hung Quang Lam, a community
worker with the Vietnamese in Melbourne's north-west. Here are their words of
wisdom, for the historical record: § Elias
Rallis, vice-president of the Greek Orthodox community: "Any legislation
must have its deterrence. The presence of criminal sanctions sends an unambiguous
message that racial vilification will not be tolerated." § Robert Chong, Melbourne
Chinese community: "Most Australians respect multiculturalism. Only
some elements do not and they require this legislation." Mr. Chong gives the game
away - the legislation was about racial vilification - and this is a logically
distinct issue from that of multiculturalism. Thus for him, opponents of multiculturalism
"require this legislation." § Nino Randazzo, editor-in-chief of Il Globo.
The Italian community had been the "constant target for 30 years of some of
the worse vilification this country has known" and it was of "great concern that
something like this should be de-criminalised." [45] Presumably
he meant "criminalised" as these "community leaders" supported criminal penalties.
Thus the comments made by Australian war heroine Nancy Wake, who spoke at the
age of 75 at a RSL annual conference, would most likely have been caught by the
net of the legislation. Nancy Wake said that the Italian, Vietnamese and other
ethnic communities did not love Australia and would not defend it in times of
need: "They come in here, they want to have their little Vietnam, to have little
Italy and little anything. Then they want to change our rules." An Asian-Australian
RSL sub-branch spokesman said at the time: "She came to defame the ethnics including
the Italian, Japanese, Chinese and Vietnamese." Along with the Jewish community,
the Arab and Muslim communities also lobbied for race vilification legislation.
[46] The Legacy:
Suppression of Free Speech P.P. McGuiness
had the foresight to see the logical result of the race hate legislation: "it
is a cast-iron certainty that the legislation will be used to harass the unorthodox
as well as the prejudiced and to suppress free speech." [47]
Indeed at the Attorney-General Department's public meeting on the proposed racial
vilification legislation in the 1990s, one Jewish community leader said, after
expressing a desire for stronger legislation, that if it "curtailed" anti-immigrationists
"then that would be to the public good." Various ethnic publications expressed
a concern during the 1990s about Australians Against Further Immigration Party
and even some green groups who supported even a partial ban on immigration. Those
opposing the undemocratic policies of Asianisation, multiracialism and multiculturalism
are typically regarded as race vilifiers by the new class. The then NSW Minister
for Multicultural and Ethnic Affairs, Photios, said that such critics were a "threat
to harmony and cohesion." [48] Along the same lines, Professor
John McLaren, Professor of Literature at the Victorian University of Technology,
said in 1992 that Australia had lost its way being tied to Britain and keeping
the Union Jack. The Union Jack "represented slavery, the White Australia Policy
and the massacre of the Aborigines." The "sovereignty of the nation will remain
morally, if not legally, suspect" until reconciliation with the Aborigines and
Asianisation occurs." [49] Some examples of the racial
hair trigger should be given for the historical record. In 1996 NSW magistrate
Pat O'Shane labelled PM Howard and the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs as "racist".
[50] Tim Fischer, who did his bit to undermine Pauline Hanson,
made similar remarks to her on the issue of the bottomless pit of Aboriginal funding.
Fischer was accused of inciting hatred by the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
Commissioner of Social Justice, Mick Dodson. Fischer said in 1993 that tax payers
spend about $1.3 billion a year on the small Aboriginal population, but the generosity
was never acknowledged. [51] Such remarks, Dodson said "bordered
on Nazism." In 1996 Fischer criticised the taxpayer-funded "immigration industry"
and was regarded by professional taxpayer-funded ethnics as undermining racial
harmony. [52] Leftist writer
Phillip Adams, although no friend of ours, did have the guts to defend free speech
against the proposed race vilification laws. Adams was, and is, a vocal critic
of the US, was before the politically correct thought police because of a complaint
by an American citizen. [53] If they can come for Phillip,
nobody is safe! Adams should have the right to express his viewpoint just as we
should have the right to express ours: let a thousand thorns bloom!
The
fiery preachers of Catch the Fire Ministries were found to have breached Victoria's
Racial and Religious Tolerance Act 2001 for saying, among other things, (such
as quoting from the Koran) that Islam was pursuing jihad in Australia. According
to Endeavour Forum the Equal Opportunity Commission showed its partisan hand by
assisting "the Muslim community create a case against the pastors." [54]
Yet, "when Robert Mears, a Christian, sought the assistance of the Commission
to bring a case for what was gross vilification of the Catholic Church and of
Catholics in school text books for use in Year 8 in the State school system, the
commission told Mears his complaint "lacked substance and was misconceived."
[55] There was no attempt by the government
to use its racial vilification and other legal weapons against Sheikh Taj Din
al-Hilali, a Muslim community leader, when he advocated martyrdom operations and
supported banned terrorist groups such as Hezbollah and Hamas during his visit
to Lebanon. [56] Sheikh Taj Din al-Hilali also made news
in July 2006 when he dismissed the Jewish Holocaust as a "Zionist lie". He is
reported to have said: "There is no denying that for some time now, some who see
themselves as supporters of Israel do abuse the Holocaust whenever Israel is engaged
in its indefensible wars and crimes against humanity." [57]
He also said that Israel was a "cancer that is planted in the heart of the Ummah
(Muslim) community." [58] Harsh words indeed. It will be
interesting to see if offended communities take action against this Mufti of Australia
and a member of John Howard's Muslim Community Reference Group - or whether the
Race-Hate legislation exists primarily to control Anglo-Australians as has been
its history. Professor Fraser's own action, based upon anti-Anglo racism,
should prove interesting. [59] |

that though the Bolshevik regime was disproportionately represented by Jews in
the beginning, it was subsequently purged by Stalin. It is true that many Jews
were murdered by Stalin in his quest to maintain his grip on the position of supreme
leader of the Soviet regime. But as many leading positions were held by Jews,
this was only logical if Stalin was to remove his threats. On the role of the

into Racist Violence in Australia," (Australian Government Publishing Service,
Canberra 1991) pp.22-23: "In November 1990, the Prime Minister met with representatives
of the Jewish community in Australia who were concerned at what they believed
to be an escalation of racist violence against Jewish people and institutions
following the increasing tensions in the Middle East. Community leaders suggested
that one way the Government could effectively deal with these problems was to
implement national legislation against incitement to racial hatred. The Prime
Minister met with representatives of the Arab and Muslim communities in Australia
on 14 January 1991. Community representatives expressed similar concern about
the increased level of racist intimidation, harassment and violence against members
of their communities." This is an interesting passage. The main thrust of "Racist
Violence" was to allege that racism was an Anglo-Australian thing (completely
unsubstantiated). The logical conclusion to draw from this passage is that if
there was a link between racial violence against Jews and Middle East conflicts,
that cause would also be Middle Eastern. Aryan anti-Semites are, presumably,
anti-Semitic all the time and their racism doesn't fluctuate with Middle East
tensions. 47. P.P. McGuinness, 'Law a Bad Substitute for Manners in Age of
