- Case History: 2004 Duke University Palestine Solidarity
Conference
-
- 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. 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 Carlson
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.
-
- The purpose of this paper is to help our friends learn
how to identify their allies and keep others at arm's length. It is an
object lesson for Palestinians and indeed for all Muslims, and for anyone
else who considers it a moral imperative to save the lives of the remaining
Philistines, and tear down the obscene wall, paid for with our own money.
Your author is a friend of the Philistines, the truly pro-Palestine students,
and Duke University, because all are the underdogs, and all need our support.
This paper is not a criticism of any of these parties or their efforts.
-
- 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 exposÈ 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.
-
- The ADL's audacious demand elevated the value of my work
in my own eyes, and Mr. Friedman's arrogance convinced me I would need
a new media to distribute any ideas worth their salt. Our Board decided
a printed journal could not go far enough, due to established censors like
the ADL and the controlled press. Instead, WHTT began to reach out on
the infant Internet, which we have used ever since.
-
- Looking back at my first writings, I can see why the
ADL operative might want to censor titles like The Warmaker's Attack on
Religious Fundamentalism and Attacking Islam. While these said little
directly about Israel or Jews or Zionists, much was said about Judaized
Christians. These articles began an exposure of Israel's surrogate Enablers--the
Judaized Christian Church--who supported and made possible the implementation
of Israel's entire public policy.
-
- Sadly, the students at Duke allowed their program to
be diluted. This became inevitable when they first allowed Jewish anti-Zionist
members into their decision-making committees; no doubt they did so to
avoid the label "anti-Semitic" and to add respectability. It
is a formula that usually backfires.
-
- The ADL has also defamed the Palestine Solidarity Movement
(PSM) members, who it manipulated into transforming their conference into
a seminar on "divesture." In a future issue we will discuss
divesture as a winning or losing tactic. However divesture is a financial
solution to a moral problem, therefore it has limited value. Not everyone
with moral values has money to withdraw from Israel. Israel will obtain
its entire budget to build a $9 billion prison wall around the West Bank
Palestinians from the American taxpayer, via the Bush Administration in
just one year. This is the money that must be divested, and everyone has
an interest in it. The Judaized Christian vote keeps Israel afloat.
-
- We applaud and support the few mainline churches including
the Presbyterians (PCUSA) who have denounced Israeli treatment of the Palestinians.
Theirs is a giant and courageous step forward in the name of Christian
values. The Anti Defamation League is cranking up the pressure on the
PCUSA in response. National Director Abraham Foxman went into orbit when
on October 21, 2004, the Presbyterian leaders listened to Hizbullah's side
of the story in Palestine. This is exactly what Christians should do,
seek the truth and hear all sides. But The ADL is attempting to paint the
PCUSA as "terrorist" sympathizers because they talked to Palestinian
resistance leaders. Again, we see the ADL tactics repeated. (link2)
-
- The ADL used its well-known system of observe, infiltrate,
and intimidate, and finally divide and control. The students yielded to
the ADL's smear of Carlson. PSM affiliates were also responding to pressure
from a second radical "anti-racist" group known for its violence--Anti-Racist
Action--a member of the PSM. (link 3) The ARA repeated almost the exact
words the ADL in denouncing this writer, and the students accepted its
judgment.
-
- When one considers Mr. Friedman's boldness and understands
that intimidation and defamation are the ADL's methods of preventing any
speech that is negative toward Jews, Israel, or Zionism, or any of their
allies, however truthful it might be, then it is not hard to see why 21-year
old students--especially Arab students, might yield to pressure from the
likes of Mr. Friedman and his Anti-Defamation League. These students are
already profiled as likely or potential terrorists and have reason to fear
based on what they have seen and heard.
-
- Not only did the Palestine Solidarity Movement withdraw
their invitation to Carlson... they removed entirely the most important
agenda item on their schedule--Christian Zionism. Unless one understands
Christian Zionism, there is no way to understand the power structure that
has made and will continue to make life and peace for the Palestinians
impossible. Without understanding it, it will not be changed, which is
what the ADL wants.
-
- STUDENTS ARE DISCREDITED BY ADL As soon as the student
leaders helped discredit Carlson they found themselves examined by the
ADL for signs of "terrorists." In an article entitled Duke University:
Next Target of Anti-Israel Activists,(Link 1) the ADL profiled each Arab
leader of PSM, quoting minutiae from their own writings, shaded in terrorist
tones. Groping for anything, they even quoted from letters to the editor.
One dangerous "anti-Zionist" Jewish student gained his stripes
by throwing a pie at an Israeli leader.
-
- Curiously, the same article failed to quote a single
word from WHTT.org or Carlson. You would think we had never written anything!
The WHTT website contains over 100 articles by Carlson, with no less than
21 specifically referencing the Anti-Defamation League and many more making
references to Israel and Zionism. There is even a four- part series on
the so-called suicide bombings! Surely the ADL could have found something
there to quote from the WHTT.org website. As Mr. Freidman let me know
years before, the ADL does not want people to go there. Here are some
of the ADL denunciations in its statements on October 5th:
-
- "Charles E. Carlson, co-founder of We Hold These
Truths, an Arizona- based, conspiracy-oriented anti-Semitic group"
-
- "Carlson's group also arranges anti-Israel protests
and demonstrations in the Southwest." (Project Strait Gate is a mission
activity that holds vigils for peace at some of the largest Judaized Christian
churches and meetings from coast to coast, which the ADL could have pointed
out, is detailed on the WHTT website...but they didn't.)
-
- "[Carlson] has spoken at white supremacist gatherings
organized by groups ranging from the neo-Nazi National Alliance to the
Holocaust- denying Institute for Historical Review."
-
- The ADL made no mention of what Carlson said at these
alleged gatherings. The Institute for Historical Review posted Carlson's
speech for anyone who wants to listen to it. Surely if this speech was
such a crime, the ADL should have been able to find something juicy to
quote from it. But no, they didn't quote a phrase. That speech contains
the same material to be presented at the Duke seminar. (Link 4)
-
- The students, especially the Palestinians probably knew
enough not to be influenced by the ADL. I suspect they were influenced
instead by the two Jewish "anti-Zionists" on their Board. It
is one thing for Jewish students to resist the wanton killing of Palestinians
and it is another to defy the Rabbi or the ADL.
-
- To further discredit the students and Duke University,
on October 12 the Israeli "Hate BUS 19" (link 5) was driven onto
the Duke campus and parked in front of the University Chapel. The purpose
of this bombed-out hideously decorated gift from Israel is to graphically
portray every Palestinian who resists Israel as a maniacal advocate of
child-killing. Anti-Palestinian organizers then brought on Neo- Con Daniel
Pipes to further discredit the Palestinians in a story entitled Duke University's
Weekend Hate Fest. (link6)
-
- LESSON FOR SURVIVAL American Palestinians and all Muslims
need to learn to identify their friends from their enemies based on logical
objectives and moral values. Jesus was referring to Pharisee leaders when
he warned, "be not unequally yoked with disbelievers." Until
Palestinians learn this lesson, their people will perish by American-made
weapons.
-
- We remind anyone who is foolish enough to judge WHTT
based on who we talk to instead of what we say, that Jesus was twice recorded
giving major lectures to prostitutes. WHTT is a group of mostly Christ
followers that has a message for everyone, especially non- Christians.
Time and money permitting, we talk to any organization that gives us a
fair audience. The "notorious" Institute of Historical Review
was quite constructive to this speaker, and most listeners seemed to absorb
every word. Several ended up helping us. I am grateful that they recorded
my speech because it exposes the ADL for what it is--a practicing word-terrorist
group that resorts to lies and intimidation to advance its plot to liquidate
Palestinians and any other group that stands in their way.
-
- The students sadly have no idea what it means to allow
the ADL axis to dictate who can and who cannot speak to their group. They
fail to realize the anti-skinhead, Anti-Racist-Action Network, which talks
and acts like Bolsheviks, is closer to the ADL than it is to themselves.
The PSM has its "Mr. Friedman" inside their group, planted there
to wreck its agenda. American Palestinians need to know this.
-
- WHAT WHTT IS DOING TO HELP Many have sent letters to
the students trying to warn them. I will be posting some of these wonderful
and insightful letters, which should be helpful to the PSM.
-
- We have e-mailed our report, Israeli Hate-Bus Tours Churches,
which we have studied in detail, to 9000 Duke University students and faculty,
local pastors, religious leaders, media and others in Durham, NC. All
the addresses were collected by volunteers.
-
- A follow up broadcast will be made of the article Judeo-Christians'
Role--Mr. Sharon's Final Solution. (link 5) Later we will send this article
and others about Judaized Christianity (one at a time) to many additional
leaders worldwide.
-
- We have decided to make a Power Point presentation over
the Internet. The Source of our War Problems: Why Judaized Christians
Cannot Demand Peace, will soon be available to anyone worldwide who want
to see it. A year old version of "Chuck's Speech" can be heard
in audio on our homepage.
-
- Our efforts have been made possible by individual gifts.
We thank those who have helped. Let us know if you can help with money
or work. Cash is faster; labor is more permanent; we need both, and will
use them well.

- For detailed information on how AIPAC goes about influencing
our congress see "One Nation Under Israel." Chapter 10 has a
character study of terrorist now President, Ariel Sharon. Then President
George Herbert Walker Bush admitted in a media interview in 1991 that he
had been virtually blackmailed to grant a $10 billion dollar loan guaranty
to the State of Israel, compliments of the American taxpayers. He described
his contact as an agent of "AIPAC... a very a very strong Jewish lobby",
... Mr. Bush later approved the loan without objection from Congress.
