    Testimony of Andrew Srulevitch, European Affairs Director Anti-Defamation League House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Africa, Global Health, Global Human Rights, and International Organizations Hearing on Anti-Semitism: A Growing Threat to All Faiths February 27, 2013 Washington, DC 1 Testimony of Andrew Srulevitch Director of European Affairs Anti-Defamation League House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Africa, Global Health, Global Human Rights, and International Organizations February 27, 2013 Washington, DC Let me offer special thanks on behalf of the Anti-Defamation League and its National Director, Abraham Foxman, to Chairman Smith and all the Members of the Subcommittee for holding this hearing today and for the many hearings, letters, and rallying cries that have kept this issue front and center. Your commitment to the fight against anti-Semitism and your determination to move from concern to action inspires and energizes all of us. The history of the Jewish people is fraught with examples of the worst violations of human rights - forced conversions, expulsions, inquisitions, pogroms, and genocide. The struggle against the persecution of Jews was a touchstone for the creation of some of the foundational human rights instruments and treaties as well as the development of important regional human rights mechanisms like the human dimension commitments of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). We focus today on anti-Semitism but we are mindful that, in advancing the fight against anti-Semitism, we elevate the duty of governments to comply with broader human rights commitments and norms. That is the core of ADL’s mission: to secure justice and fair treatment for Jews in tandem with safeguarding the rights of all groups.

  • Unraveling Anti-Semitic 9/11 Conspiracy Theories
    Unraveling Anti-Semitic 9/11 Conspiracy Theories Anti-Defamation League Glen A. Tobias, National Chair Abraham H. Foxman, National Director This is a publication of the Gorowitz Institute ©2003 Anti-Defamation League 823 United Nations Plaza New York, NY 10017 Printed in the United States of America All Rights Reserved www.adl.org Highlights • A global network of anti-Semitic conspiracy theorists is energetically working to blame Jews and Israel for the 9/11 terrorist attacks. • These theories are the latest manifestation of centuries-old allegations that Jews manipulate and control world events for their own benefit. They bring the Protocols of the Elders of Zion into the 21st century, updating a familiar theme: that Jews are inherently evil and have a "master plan" to rule the world. • What makes the 9/11 conspiracy theories particularly important is that they have united disparate groups of Jew haters — American far-right extremists, white supremacists and elements within the Arab and Muslim world — who are exchanging and echoing information, ideas, and conspiracy theories, par- ticularly through the Internet. • 9/11 conspiracy theories have grown to such an extent that they form an entire industry that includes books, pamphlets, videotapes, Web sites, and speakers. • These theories are poised to form the basis of a new anti-Semitic canard that will linger for decades and be used to demonize Jews and Israel. Anti-Semites are blaming Jews for the worst terrorist act committed and for its conse- quences, such as military conflicts. Allegations of Jewish culpability in the 9/11 attacks may even be used as justification for future acts of anti-Semitic violence.

  • James Von Brunn: an Adl Backgrounder
    JAMES VON BRUNN: AN ADL BACKGROUNDER This document is an archived copy of an older ADL report and may not reflect the most current facts or developments related to its subject matter. INTRODUCTION James Wenneker Von Brunn, the suspect in the June 2009 shooting at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., died at a North Carolina federal prison on January 6, 2010, while awaiting trial. According to authorities,Von Brunn entered the museum on June 10 and shot and killed Stephen T. Johns, a black security guard, before being shot and wounded by other officers at the scene. Von Brunn could have received the dealth penalty if convicted of murder and other charges. Von Brunn was a long-time neo-Nazi and white supremacist who had vehemently expressed his anti- Semitic and racist views for decades—and sometimes acted on them as well. Von Brunn, 89, was a peripheral but well-respected figure among American white supremacists. BELIEFS AND ACTIVITIES In the years before the Museum shooting, Von Brunn was most active as an anti-Semitic propagandist. Age had not dampened his racist and anti-Jewish passions. In the early 2000s, Von Brunn even created his own Web site, the Holy Western Empire site, which he used primarily to market his self-published anti-Semitic book. Von Brunn's anti-Semitism was motivated in part by a nearly life-long conviction that Jews were persecuting him, from hurting his career to burning his house down. "Over my years of adversity," he claimed, "It became clear to me that a JEW strategy had emerged: 'Kill the Best Gentiles!'" In essays and comments posted to the Web, Von Brunn extended those sentiments about Jewish persecution from himself to the entire United States.

  • Willis Carto
    Willis Carto This document is an archived copy of an older ADL report and may not reflect the most current facts or developments related to its subject matter. INTRODUCTION Willis Carto has been one of the most influential American anti-Semitic propagandists of the past 50 years. Since emerging as a right-wing organizer in San Francisco in the early 1950s, he has been associated with nearly every significant far-right movement in the country, from neo-Nazism to militias, segregationism to Holocaust denial. Known for his reclusiveness, he has founded and overseen from behind the scenes an intricate network of bigotry whose outlets have included Liberty and Property, Western Destiny, the Noontide Press, American Mercury, National Youth Alliance, the Institute for Historical Review, the Populist Party and, most notably, Liberty Lobby. In 2001, both Carto and Liberty Lobby were bankrupted after Carto lost a long court battle with the Institute for Historical Review (which broke with him in 1993). His editorial staff at Liberty Lobby's now-defunct Spotlight, the most widely read publication on the fringe right, resumed publication under the title American Free Press in August 2001, however. And while Carto is in his 70s and financially constrained, his energy for purveying paranoia and hatred appears to be undiminished. Year of birth: 1926 Headquarters: Washington, D.C. (Carto's home is in Escondido, California) Ideology: Anti-Semitism, racial determinism, conspiratorial anti-government, Holocaust denial Background: Carto has founded and been involved with dozens of far-right organizations and front groups. These include: Congress of Freedom, Liberty and Property, Liberty Lobby, John Birch Society, National Youth Alliance, Institute for Historical Review, Populist Party Publications: Defunct: Right, Western Destiny, Liberty Letter, Washington Observer, American Mercury, The Spotlight, IHR Newsletter, Journal for Historical Review.

  • The American Review of Politics
    Book Reviews Richard L. Engstrom, Editor William G. Mayer, ed. The Swing Voter in American Politics. Washington, DC: Brookings Institution Press, 2008. xi, 151. ($44.95 cloth; $18.95 paper.) Every election cycle media pundits identify some group of voters as key to electoral victory. Soccer moms, Latinos, and NASCAR dads have all been the subject of such media scrutiny. William Mayer’s edited volume, The Swing Voter in American Politics, provides a useful array of writings from political scientists, journalists, and practitioners addressing the holy grail of American politics: the identity of swing voters and why they are so uncertain about their political choices. With growing political polarization in American politics, the number of swing voters has decreased since 1972, according to Mayer, but in 2004, approximately 13 percent of the electorate were swing voters. Despite this, the Bush Cheney 2004 reelection team de- cided to appeal to the Republican base and focus their efforts on mobiliza- tion, rather than convincing swing voters. As Jim Campbell adeptly shows in his chapter, swing voters do not often decide the outcome of elections, demonstrating that efforts aimed at appealing to this transitory and elusive “group” are not altogether productive. In 2008, however, Sen. Barack Obama’s campaign for the presidency rested on appealing to new voters. Few pundits and observers expected Obama to win the nomination when he launched his campaign in 2007 largely because his appeal came from young voters, who often do not turn out to vote. Mayer is skeptical of the argument that both parties are “afraid they would lose control of a system suddenly inundated by millions of frac- tious, new, anti-establishment voters,” (p.
