Not sure if this is in the right forum. I put it here since this article comes from what appears to be some Christian website. Has anyone heard of this guy(Rev. Pike?)
[center][QUOTE] *By Rev. Ted Pike* [/center] 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 ââ¬ÅHate Crimesââ¬Â legislation, orchestrated by the international Jewish religious, educational, and fraternal organization, Bââ¬â¢nai Bââ¬â¢rith, and its Anti-Defamation League. The new ââ¬ÅDepartment of Global Anti-Semitismââ¬Â is designed to make critics of Israel not only into ââ¬Åanti-Semitesââ¬Â but ultimately into ââ¬Ådomestic terrorists.ââ¬Â
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 ââ¬ÅChristian identityââ¬Â and white supremacist groups.
Such dehumanization of Jews is evil, un-Christian, un-American.
On the other hand, if the [u]actions[/u] 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.
[center]**TWISTED DEFINITIONS OF ââ¬ÅANTI-SEMITISMââ¬Â ** [/center] However, in its ââ¬ÅReport on Global Anti-Semitismââ¬Â and ââ¬ÅGlobal Anti-Semitism Report,ââ¬Â 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:
[list=1] []Any assertion ââ¬Åthat the Jewish community controls government, the media, international business and the financial worldââ¬Â is anti-Semitic. []ââ¬ÅStrong anti-Israel sentimentââ¬Â is anti-Semitic. []ââ¬ÅVirulent criticismââ¬Â of Israelââ¬â¢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 Sharonââ¬â¢s brutal 2002 invasion of the West Bank, raining ââ¬Åhell-fireââ¬Â missiles on hapless Palestinian men, women and children, is anti-Semitic. Similarly, when the word ââ¬ÅZionaziââ¬Â is used to describe Sharonââ¬â¢s saturation bombing in Lebanon in 1982 (killing 17,500 innocent refugees), it is also ââ¬Åanti-Semitic.ââ¬Â []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 ââ¬ÅNew World Orderââ¬Â) is anti-Semitic. []Blaming Jewish leaders and their followers for inciting the Roman crucifixion of Christ is anti-Semitic. []Diminishing the ââ¬Åsix millionââ¬Â figure of Holocaust victims is anti-Semitic. []Calling Israel a ââ¬Åracistââ¬Â state is anti-Semitic. []Asserting that there exists a ââ¬ÅZionist Conspiracyââ¬Â is anti-Semitic. []Claiming that Jews and their leaders created the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia is anti-Semitic. []Making ââ¬Åderogatory statements about Jewish personsââ¬Â 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. [/list][center]**ANTI-SEMITISM IS A ââ¬ÅHATE CRIMEââ¬Â ** [/center] In the Global Anti-Semitism Report, State Department spokespersons Ambassador Edward Oââ¬â¢Donnell and the head of the office of global anti-Semitism, Ambassador Michael B. Kozak, defend the State Departmentââ¬â¢s definitions. Oââ¬â¢Donnellââ¬â¢s statement that he wants to ââ¬Å[u]end[/u] all anti-Semitism and other hate crimesââ¬Â reveals that he considers anti-Semitism a hate crime. Presumably, he would like such a ââ¬Åcrimeââ¬Â to be punished.
These State Department reports repeatedly equate ââ¬Åstrong, anti-Israel sentimentââ¬Â and criticism of matters Jewish with ââ¬Åhate.ââ¬Â They give no recognition to the possibility that such criticism might be sincerely motivated not by hate but by moral indignation or even[url="http://www.enhancemysearch.com/admin/results.php?q=Love&id=31"][color=#0000ff] love [/color][/url]for the Jewish people.
The Report on Global Anti-Semitism repeatedly calls for passage, both nationally and internationally, of ââ¬Åhate crimeââ¬Â legislation. These laws, the brainchild of Bââ¬â¢nai Bââ¬â¢rith/ADL, also have as their ultimate goal making it a ââ¬Åhate crimeââ¬Â to criticize Jews, matters Jewish, or the state of Israel.
The Report on Global Anti-Semitism reeks with Bââ¬â¢nai Bââ¬â¢rith/ADL logic, phraseology, and evidence of their incredible worldwide organizational and statistic-gathering capacities. It contains thirty-three pages of minute documentation of ââ¬Åanti-Semitic incidentsââ¬Â in fifty-eight countries of the world, documentation which only Bââ¬â¢nai Bââ¬â¢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.
[center]**CRITICISM-FREE ZONE FOR JEWS ** [/center] Thus, the Department of Anti-Semitism, applauded and advised by Bââ¬â¢nai Bââ¬â¢rith/ADL, is working to create a worldwide ââ¬Åcriticism-free zoneââ¬Â for Jews in the ââ¬ÅNew World Orderââ¬Â 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 ââ¬Åhate.ââ¬Â 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 ââ¬Åscourge,ââ¬Â an ââ¬Åintolerable burden,ââ¬Â which ââ¬Åfor an increasingly interdependent worldââ¬Â¦must be ended.ââ¬Â
On the other hand, according to the U.S. State Department, there does exist some possibility that ââ¬Åobjective criticismââ¬Â of Israel and its leaders can be tolerated - that is, just as long as such criticism does not ââ¬Åcross the lineââ¬Â and become ââ¬Åstrong anti-Israel sentimentââ¬Â and ââ¬Åvirulent.ââ¬Â Such criticism should not ââ¬Ådemonizeââ¬Â Jews, Jewish religious or political leaders, or the state of Israel.
However, what may be considered ââ¬Åvirulenceââ¬Â or ââ¬Ådemonizationââ¬Â by Zionists may be seen as nothing more than salty truth-telling by critics of Israel. Hypocritically, the State Department itself is not above ââ¬Ådemonizingââ¬Â strong critics of Israel in the most ââ¬Åvirulentââ¬Â terms as a ââ¬Åplagueââ¬Â and ââ¬Åscourgeââ¬Â on mankind!
[center]**TURNING ââ¬ÅANTI-SEMITISMââ¬Â INTO ââ¬ÅDOMESTIC TERRORISMââ¬Â ** [/center] The State Departmentââ¬â¢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 ââ¬Åstrongââ¬Â criticism of the American/Zionist coalition into ââ¬Åanti-Semitism and other hate crimes,ââ¬Â the State Department opens the door to eventual characterization of those who criticize Israel as not only anti-Semites but also as ââ¬Ådomestic terrorists.ââ¬Â
Hereââ¬â¢s how it can be done:
Today, those who raise funds in America to support Americaââ¬â¢s and Israelââ¬â¢s terrorist enemies are arrested as ââ¬Ådomestic terrorists.ââ¬Â But what if articulate Americans provided something else, potentially even more valuable to Israelââ¬â¢s enemies: ââ¬Åstrong criticismââ¬Â 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 ââ¬ÅJewish Communismââ¬Â in Russia.
In 1944, 30 Americans, who agreed with Lindberg, were arrested for the crime of ââ¬Åsedition,ââ¬Â weakening Americaââ¬â¢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 ââ¬Åonly warming upââ¬Â by pursuing sedition convictions against 30 innocent Americans. Their ultimate ambition was to imprison prominent critics of evil Jewish leadership, especially Charles Lindberg. Fortunately, ADLââ¬â¢s attempt to transform 30 critics of international Jews into ââ¬ÅNazisââ¬Â failed when the judge died and the case was dissolved.
Today, America and Israel are allies in the ââ¬Åwar on terror.ââ¬Â Tomorrow, especially if the war on terror intensifies and America and Israel cooperate even more closely, criticism of Americaââ¬â¢s ally in the war on terrorism may be construed as ââ¬Åaiding and abetting the enemy.ââ¬Â Such ââ¬Åstrong criticismââ¬Â 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 ADLââ¬â¢s ultimate goal: making such persons ââ¬Åenemies of the war on terror,ââ¬Â i.e., ââ¬Ådomestic terrorists.ââ¬Â
[u]They then can be prosecuted under Homeland Security laws.[/u]
[center]**CANADA: ALREADY MAKING ââ¬ÅANTI-SEMITESââ¬Â INTO ââ¬ÅDOMESTIC TERRORISTSââ¬Â ** [/center] 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/Bââ¬â¢nai Bââ¬â¢rith, it is a ââ¬Åhate crimeââ¬Â 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 ââ¬Åhate crime��¢â¬Â 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.
[u]Under what charge have Canadian authorities been holding him?[/u]
You guessed it. He is a ââ¬Återrorist threat!ââ¬Â
So it will be for millions of Americans tomorrow if ADL/Bââ¬â¢nai Bââ¬â¢rith have their way and the Department of Anti-Semitismââ¬â¢s twisted definitions of anti-Semitism are allowed to stand.
The Department of Global Anti-Semitism is informing the world who the ââ¬Ådomestic terroristsââ¬Â of tomorrow will be.
They are you and I.
