New article: Boycott vote in Sydney suburb sparks media furor, death threats
Electronic Intifada, 24th January 2011:
On 15 December 2010, the councilors of Marrickville, a suburb of Sydney, Australia voted by a 10-2 majority to support the Palestinian call for boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS). A month later, they have belatedly become the subjects of vilification in the press owned by international media proprietor Rupert Murdoch and death threats from Australia’s lunatic fringe.

Dear Sarah
In your article you say of David Horowitz
“As well as attacking Arab and left-wing campaigners, he has also been accused of racism against African Americans”.
Could you please clarify who has accused him and what proof there is for the accusations of racism.
Thanks
Kerry
I think the most interesting point is Horowitz’s connections with the ‘Bell Curve’ linked Bradley Foundation, as detailed here: http://www.zcommunications.org/making-nice-with-racists-david-horowitz-and-the-soft-pedaling-of-white-supremacy-by-tim-wise
Other examples include:
Some of the assumptions and statements Horowitz makes in his own writings speak for themselves, viz:

And I’m aware that this was part of a long and ongoing debate but it seems as good a place to start as any:

And while I don’t necessarily agree with some of the individuals Horowitz names as anti-semites, this also had some interesting points:

How and when palestinian issue emerged
In 1975, by its resolution 3376 the General Assembly established the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian people. At that time, Secretary-General of the United Nations was Kurt Waldheim.
So, the question is how this resolution emerged in 1975? The analysis of historic documents revealed two undeniable facts:
Fact 1. In 1920s-30s, Palestinian Muslims committed massacre of Jews in occupied Israel murdering thousands of children and civilians. The murder was organized by the founder and supreme leader of the Arab Higher Committee, Haj Amin al Husseini, the Mufti of Jerusalem, and supported by British Administration of Palestine. The primary objective was elimination of all Jews from Palestine. The massacre was, in reality, the Holocaust committed by Palestinian Arabs.
Haj Amin was a close friend of Hitler. In 1941, Haj Amin came to Berlin and visited Hitler. He brought the Holocaust idea to Hitler. In 1943, Amin organized Bosnian Muslim battalions in Croatia comprising some twenty thousand men. The battalions were put in Waffen-SS units, fought Yugoslav partisans in Bosnia; thousands of Serbs, Roma (‘Gypsies’) and Jews hunted down by Haj Amin’s SS troops were killed by those same troops, or they were sent to the Islamic death camp Jasenovac. After the WWII, the International tribunal declared Haj Amin war criminal; however, he escaped prosecution (thanks to Britain), fled to Egypt and then Palestine where he organized Fatah. After his death in 1974, Arafat, who was Haj Amin lieutenant, became Fatah commander. He organized PLO. Thus, PLO and Fatah were created by people close to Nazi and based on Nazi ideology.
Fact 2. Kurt Waldheim was a Nazi SS officer in WWII, committed numerous crimes in Europe and responsible for death of thousands of European. He is a war criminal.
These two facts clearly show that the Palestinian issue was introduced to commemorate Nazi-Palestinian Muslims unbreakable criminal connection and to recognize PLO-Fatah as Nazi successor. After 1980, every Secretary General, including the current, and entire UN staff uphold Nazi legacy of Kurt Waldheim.
A useful comment to illustrate the nature of trolls and their sometimes rather clever techniques in wasting people’s time and energy. As in this case, they will often use a small number of facts and surround them with erroneous and libellous material, with the intention of confusing ignorant readers as to which is which. This character is a particularly nasty piece of work.
