They evince a turning point in Jewish-Lutheran dialogue at the global level. The consultation brought together engaged Jews and Lutherans, men and women, from all continents in mutual witness. For the first time, the very diverse experiences and dialogues between representatives of the Lutheran churches and their dialogue partners from the Jewish communities were exchanged, as those involved reported and discussed on the basis of their personal relationships.1 The worldwide perspective made it possible to overcome the usual Western European and North American domi- nance in such conversations. The presence of Dr Gerhard Riegner, former general secretary of the World Jewish Congress, at the 1984 Assembly of the LWF at Budapest led to a new focus on this relationship. It signaled a new start in the dialogue between Jews and Lutherans at the global level, following the tragedy of the Shoah and the lamen- table effects of Luther’s anti-Jewish writings. Riegner’s address to and the recom- mendations of the 1984 Assembly were milestones in Jewish-Lutheran relations. On the basis of conversations held at Copenhagen (1981) and Stockholm (1983), both sides declared jointly, “We affirm the integrity and dignity of both our faith communities.” “We pledge to combat all forms of radical [racial] prejudice ….”2 The work at Budapest prepared the way “for an ending of the justifiable bitter- ness and defensiveness that have plagued Lutheran-Jewish relations.”3 For many Budapest was a breakthrough. The September 2001 consultation was a manifesta- tion of this breakthrough and an exhortation not to forget those common commit- ments. The nature of the contributions and the common experience of prayer in 1 Four of the reports could not be presented personally, including Mitri Raheb’s who was not granted an exit visa from Israel. 2 “In Christ – Hope for the World,” Proceedings of the Seventh Assembly, LWF Report No.19/20 (Geneva: The Lutheran World Federation, 1985), p. 259. 3 From Dar es Salaam to Budapest 1977-1984, LWF Report No.17/18 (Geneva: The Lutheran World Federation, 1984), p. 267.

Statement) made this consultation an expression of the turning point which the Assembly had seen as its aim. It is impossible for this book to do justice to the intensity of what was experienced at the consultation. A special challenge for Lutherans Jewish-Lutheran dialogue is an integral part of Christian-Jewish dialogue since it deals with fundamental issues pertaining to coexistence and inter-relation- ships in the light of Christian hostility towards the Jews. Nonetheless, at Budapest Gerhard Riegner expressly underlined the necessity of conducting conversa- tions specifically between Lutherans and Jews. Lutherans are aware of their special responsibility for this dialogue since the Reformer, Martin Luther, called for Jewish schools and synagogues to be destroyed “so that God will see that we are Christians”. “Away with the rabbis!” Their teaching is “the work of the devil” (Of the Jews and their lies, 1543, WA 53). If, as Albert H. Friedländer believes, this anti-Jewish spirit was “a component of his [Luther’s] thinking from the very beginning” but the “hidden agenda” was “nevertheless a concern for the Jews,”4 then a clarification of the Lutheran attitude and perspective is required. Re- sponsibility must go hand in hand with a sensitivity which gently seeks dialogue and remains critical of its own interests. Why did Luther with his concern for the Jews5 hit back “all the more bitterly” when his missionary hopes were disap- pointed?6 After Budapest, efforts at the international level to continue these conversa- tions met with little success because of “a failure to find mutually acceptable topics”7 and little progress was made in the Jewish-Lutheran dialogue. In the 1990s some Lutheran synods underlined the continued election of Israel and rejected mission to the Jews, and a new, constructive attitude developed in the individual 4 Albert H.

The documents and recommendations from Budapest did not play a special part in this. They were simply part of the overall dynamics in the Jewish- Christian dialogue which progressed in small steps from “contempt to respect for Israel in the church and in theology.”8 Antisemitism and anti-Judaism today When engaging in Christian-Jewish dialogue today, the question which must be asked is: “What has really been achieved in ‘Christian-Jewish dialogue’ when antisemitism and an uncritical condemnation of the state of Israel tend to increase rather than to decrease throughout Europe (and worldwide).”9 At the level

Secondly, I will elaborate the Discourse-Historical Approach (DHA) which should allow readers to follow and understand the in-depth discourse analysis of specific utterances by Jörg Haider, the former leader of the Austrian Freedom Party (FPÖ), during the election campaign.

  • HOLOCAUST DENIAL IS a FORM of HATE SPEECH Raphael Cohen
    HOLOCAUST DENIAL IS A FORM OF HATE SPEECH ∗∗∗ Raphael Cohen-Almagor Introduction Recently Facebook confirmed that it has disabled a group called ‘I Hate Muslims in Oz.’ Barry Schnitt explained: “We disabled the ‘I Hate Muslims in Oz’ group… because it contained an explicit statement of hate. Where Holocaust-denial groups have done this and been reported, we’ve taken the same action”.1 Facebook distinguishes between ‘explicit statement of hate’ and Holocaust denial. Its directors believe that Holocaust denial is not hateful per se and does not therefore contravene the company’s terms of service. The terms of service say: “You will not post content that is hateful, threatening, pornographic, or that contains nudity or graphic or gratuitous violence”. 2 Schnitt said: “We’re always discussing and evaluating our policies on reported content, but have no plans to change this policy at this time. In addition to discussing it internally, we continue to engage with third-party experts on the issue”.3 In this short piece I wish to take issue with the assertion that Holocaust denial is not hateful per se . My aim is to show that it is, and therefore that Facebook should reconsider its position. All Internet providers and web- hosting companies whose terms of service disallow hateful messages on their servers should not host or provide forums for such hate-mongering. This is of urgent need as Holocaust denial is prevalent in Europe, the United States (USA) and across the Arab and Muslim parts of the world. Iran’s regime, under the disputed leadership of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has made questioning the Holocaust one of the centerpieces of its radical ∗ Educator, researcher and human rights activist.

  • Holocaust Denial in Australia
    ABSTRACT This paper explores the nature of Holocaust denial in Australia. It does so through a study of the beliefs and activities of the three organizations for whom Holocaust denial is a central belief: the Australian League of Rights, the Australian Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), and the Adelaide Institute. Their activities, their international ties, and their relationship with the broader racist Right in Australia is considered. The paper concludes by reflecting on the future directions and responses to Holocaust denial. INTRODUCTION The nature of Australian Holocaust denial organizations, their activities, and their place in broader far Right circles is different from denial organizations in other countries. This is explained by the dominant role of the Australian League of Rights in far Right politics, the civil liberties origins of the Australian Civil Liberties Union, the lack of sizeable neo- Nazi groups in Australia, and the dominance of anti-Aboriginal and anti- Asian issues on the far Right agenda. In addition, unlike many European countries where denial is explained as a response to their wartime collaboration with the Nazis, this motive does not exist in Australia which fought against the Nazis and her allies. Although Holocaust denial is a fringe activity in Australia, it has significantly increased over the last two decades with a concomitant growth in collaboration between Australian and overseas Holocaust deniers. This is not just a Jewish concern for Holocaust deniers have become a leading element within the racist Right with whom they share a common worldview. This is because in addition to their antisemitism, Australian Holocaust deniers expound racist and xenophobic policies and views.

    Manifestations of Antisemitism in the EU 2002 - 2003 Based on information by the National Focal Points of the RAXEN Information Network Manifestations of Antisemitism in the EU 2002 – 2003 Based on information by the National Focal Points of the EUMC - RAXEN Information Network EUMC - Manifestations of Antisemitism in the EU 2002 - 2003 2 EUMC – Manifestations of Antisemitism in the EU 2002 – 2003 Foreword Following concerns from many quarters over what seemed to be a serious increase in acts of antisemitism in some parts of Europe, especially in March/April 2002, the EUMC asked the 15 National Focal Points of its Racism and Xenophobia Network (RAXEN) to direct a special focus on antisemitism in its data collection activities. This comprehensive report is one of the outcomes of that initiative. It represents the first time in the EU that data on antisemitism has been collected systematically, using common guidelines for each Member State. The national reports delivered by the RAXEN network provide an overview of incidents of antisemitism, the political, academic and media reactions to it, information from public opinion polls and attitude surveys, and examples of good practice to combat antisemitism, from information available in the years 2002 – 2003. On receipt of these national reports, the EUMC then asked an independent scholar, Dr Alexander Pollak, to make an evaluation of the quality and availability of this data on antisemitism in each country, and identify problem areas and gaps. The country-by-country information provided by the 15 National Focal Points, and the analysis by Dr Pollak, form Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 of this report respectively.

    jpr / policy paper No. 2 1996 The Governance of Cyberspace: Racism on the Internet 'The Internet has revolutionized communications, bringing enormous benefits. But we cannot afford to ignore its negative aspects-the potential to spread "hate" material that not only offends, but seriously threatens racial harmony and public order.' David Capitanchik and Michael Whine Summary The potential of the so-called 'super-highway' to inform, educate, entertain and conduct business on a worldwide scale has caught the imagination of millions. At a relatively modest cost, and often at no cost at all, vast quantities of data can be transmitted around the globe - a mutimedia form of communication combining all hitherto known means such as printing, the telephone, photography, radio and video. All that is required is a relatively cheap personal computer, a telephone line and a modem or connection to a cable operator. Among other things, the Internet has provided a vast range of political parties and pressure groups with the unprecedented opportunity to disseminate their publications and messages to an international public, and even to interact with them on a one-to-one basis. The benefits of the Internet, it must be said, far outweigh its negative aspects. Nevertheless, these cannot be ignored. In this Policy Paper, David Capitanchik and Michael Whine consider the current debates about free speech on the Internet and the issues raised by its exploitation by antisemitic and racist groups. Much attention has focused on the presence of pornography on the 'net', especially in the so-called 'First Amendment' controversies in the United States. However, in most European countries and around the world, incitement to racial hatred is also a criminal offence.

Rejecting Hatred: Fifty Years of Catholic Dialogue with Jews and Muslims since Nostra Aetate The Reverend Patrick J. Ryan, S.J. Laurence J. McGinley Professor of Religion and Society Fordham University A cousin of my father, a big Irishman named Tom Ryan, was ordained a priest in Rome in 1938. After his ordination he studied there for some years and made a mark for himself as one proficient not only in Latin and canon law but also in Italian. Working for the Secretariat of State, which supervises the papal diplomatic corps, Tom was eventually assigned in 1943 to Istanbul to become Secretary to the Apostolic Delegate to the Catholic bishops in Greece and Turkey. Monsignor Ryan, as he was by that time, worked very well with the Italian Apostolic Delegate, Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli, better known in later life as Pope John XXIII. Roncalli liked Tom and wrote home to his family in Italy in 1943 that his new Irish secretary “comes from good farming stock like ourselves” and also “speaks Italian just like us.”1 1 Ryan worked for Roncalli from July 1943 to late November 1944, even teaching him some English, until Ryan was eventually transferred to Cairo and Roncalli shortly afterwards to newly liberated France, where he became the Papal Nuncio and dean of the diplomatic corps.2 Bishop Ryan, as he later became, looked back on those months in Istanbul with some nostalgia.
