The ADL Shelters Christian Zionism

We Hold These Truths & Strait Gate Ministries
Charles E Carlson Sep 21, 2008

An unnamed reporter from the Anti Defamation League (ADL) claimed to be present at the JAM Islamic conference for Peace in suburban Baltimore on August 16^th where I was one of the speakers.

My topic, Christian Zionism, may sound unusual for an Islamic conference,but not to the event sponsor, Dr. Kaukab Siddique, whose conference theme was unity for peace. *1)

The ADL took exception to a number of speakers, including former Attorney General, Ramsey Clark. “Peace” seems to be a threat to the ADL. In its official publication the ADL carried no less than three stories about the conference and had this to say about your writer:

Charles ("Chuck") E. Carlson is a co-founder and director of We Hold These Truths, an Arizona-based Christian anti-Semitic group. We Hold These Truths has held demonstrations around the county outside churches it views as supporting Zionism. *2)

The ADL frequently arranges for interference with meetings where it does not want the subject matter aired. This writer has twice previously been among the scheduled speakers at meetings where the host hotel was intimidated to cancel the banquet room accommodations on the day of the event. I was told there was pressure from unnamed, but presumed powerful local businessmen thought to be associated with the ADL. In each case the hotel management caved under pressure, and at no small legal risk to their companies, they put the scheduled meeting in the street. In both cases the meeting, one in Sacramento CA and the other in Orange County CA were able to reconvene hastily elsewhere.

A more damaging case revealing how the ADL attempts to silence those exposing Christian Zionism. Duke University was the scheduled site of the Palestinian Solidarity Movement’s two-day conference on October 15, 2004. That time the Anti-Defamation League publicly objected to several speakers it labeled as “anti-Semites.” It also claimed one student speaker was prone to petty violence.

Christian Zionism was the subject of my lecture and workshop, the only ones on this subject, and was unfamiliar to the student leaders. They had been assured that my presentation was valuable to the conference. In the end, I, and only I, was banned from speaking. The ADL and several related individuals wrote to the Duke University President and published condemnations of speakers on the Internet, alleging in my case “notorious anti-Semitism.” Not one word was written about or quoted from my program, to which the ADL had full access. This is normal for the ADL. *3

Student leaders of the modestly aggressive Palestine Solidarity Movement (PSM) compromised with the ADL when they learned that all it really wanted was to remove Carlson and Carlson’s workshop on Christian Zionism from the program. The PSM outvoted other students who did not know they were removing a most vital issue that they needed to understand in their movement to save Palestine. The Roots of Christian Zionism is the one issue for which Israel has no answer, and which Christian Zionists cannot explain.

It appears the ADL did not care how much speakers argue for “divesture,” which was the underlying theme of the PSM, so long as the vital link between Jewish Zionism and the 70 million Christian Zionists who are its prime supporters was not exposed!

This conference was large enough and far-reaching enough to change the face of the Palestinian freedom movement among students. The ADL knew what the students did not know; they did not want Christian Zionism exposed. It is still notably absent from student programs.

The ADL continued to attack Carlson by name after the mugging at Duke. Unofficial ADL operatives performed damaging and slanderous acts against speakers. I discovered a Wall Street Journal story about myself printed on Jan 5, 2005, The Intifada Comes to Duke, by Eric Adler and Jack Langer *4)

Adler was then a PHD candidate and is now on the Duke faculty. Adler/Langer wrote:

‘One scheduled speaker, Charles Carlson, had openly called for lethal attacks against Israeli youth, declaring, "every young Israeli is military--they are all proper war targets," and that "each wedding, Passover celebration, or bar mitzvah [in Israel] is a potential military target."’

The problem with Adler's incendiary quote is that it is concoction. He lifted the quotes out of context, a common ADL trick that is hard to litigate, and much worse, he added two words and changed two others inside the quotation attributed to me, thereby changing my historic observation to a call for blood.

Adler’s quote is lifted from my story, Smart Bombs vs. Intelligent Bombs, May 4, 2002, which I wrote following a field trip to Israel and Gaza, discussed how and why 57 known young Philistine suicide bombers chose their targets. Most targets were buses with soldiers on board. A very few were social affairs where a large number of off-duty military would normally be congregated. These would seem to be normal military targets. This is the actual quote from my original story on our website:

“But all human bombs are certain to be intended for Israeli Military targets. Every bus, restaurant, bar, or theater is a military target. Each wedding, Passover celebration, Bar mitzvah is probably a military target with active military present.” *5

By reconstructing my paragraph Adler made me out to be an agitator or terrorist attempting to get Israeli children killed. This kind of defamation, more commonly known legally as slander or libel, could cause this author problems.

ADL’S volunteers perform most slanderous acts, as with Adler. Volunteer businessmen lean on hotel management, threatening them with undesirable press coverage and loss of business if they deal with "anti-Semites." The ADL uses the power of the local Jewish purse in the area where the event is scheduled. I know about this intimidation first hand from one Jim Friedman, a local ADL volunteer who attempted to intimidate me many years ago to stop writing. I wrote How the Anti Defamation League Controls its Opposition after I was mugged at Duke. *7

“Defamation” is an actionable tort in most states, but to litigate it, you must show you were damaged, show that the act was intentional, and prove the defaming statement was not true. The ADL and Adler could only have meant to defame me, since the Duke Conference was already over and done with.

The ADL is in the business of defaming people without exposing itself to these laws. It rarely sues anyone for libel or slander because to do so would require him or her to give proof of slander or libel. One would think the ADL would sue people for defaming Jews, but instead, the ADL defames others, calls names, and applies labels including its favorite, “anti-Semite.” The ADL has itself been successfully sued for libel and slander more than once. Here is what the ADL said about me at the recent Baltimore conference:

“The scheduled speakers promote varying degrees of hostility toward Israel. They include Charles E. Carlson, co-founder of We Hold These Truths, a notorious Arizona-based extremist group that focuses on propagating anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.”

The press release is damning but safe. Calling someone a “notorious anti-Semite" is a cheap shot, but an opinion that is hard to prove or disprove and pretty much protected by free speech. The ADL takes scores of cheap shots at anyone it does not like. Many, including the Palestine Solidarity Movement allow themselves to be compromised by the ADL venom, but it has lost its credibility.

Most informed people today regard the ADL as a professional liar. Its goal is not to protect Jews from defamation but to defame others with whom Jews disagree, or those who do not like the state of Israel and say so.

Earlier Zionists managed to get the famous Judeo-Christian Scofield Refercene bible to include “the sin of anti-Semitism” as a footnote on its page 19, stating, “for a nation to commit the sin of anti-Semitism will bring inevitable judgment.” Millions of Judeo-Christians fear offending Israel as if it was God. A small number of powerful ADL leaders fear losing Christian Zionist's support for their agenda. *6) Roots of Christian Zionism

Conclusion

The ADL protects Zionism and its nurse cow, Christian Zionism, by denouncing and defaming perceived enemies. Zionism is pathetically weak in numbers; it is reasonable to guess there are 50 to 70 Christian Zionists for every American Jewish Zionist.

Christian Zionists are taught that anti-Semitism is a sin punishable by God, that the State of Israel is the fulfillment of biblical prophesies, and that war in our time are a necessary part of these prophesies...these being hallmarks beliefs that identify Judeo-Christianity. There are thought to be 70 million Americans influenced by this sect, which took root in the middle 18th century and has become commonly identified today as Christian Zionism, and includes Mormons and most other 18th century American evangelicals.

The power of the ADL is given wings through the Christian Right; without them no one would need to fear the ADL. A permanent solution to the problems surrounding Zionism will be realized when “Judeo-Christians” return to following Christ, and not before, which begins with seeking peace.

Goodbye Freedom of Speech, Hello Judeofascism

ADL Director declares war on freedom of speech

The Anti-Defamation League Director for the Plains States Alan Potash, has just declared war against our First Amendment right to freedom of speech. Potash had the nerve to claim that the First Amendment of the United States Constitution does not apply to individuals who his organization disagrees with Potash made the following statement, which was published in the May 26 edition of The Omaha World Herald.

“Dangers of hate,” was right to point out that freedom of speech does not extend to racist groups, nor give their supporters the right to threaten and intimidate others or commit acts of violence.

But when bigots step over the line, it is vital that law enforcement and the courts have the proper tools to respond effectively.

This is why Congress should move expeditiously to approve the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevent Act - legislation that would add protection for all citizens from violent acts of intolerance.

The bill, which was approved in the House last month, would equip local law enforcement officials with tools, training and resources to investigate and prosecute bias-motivated crimes.

Like acts of terrorism, hate crimes can hurt more than the individual victim. They can instill fear and insecurity within an entire community."

The Hate Crimes Prevention Act recently passed the Congress and is now on its way to the Senate, where it is likely to pass and signed by President Obama. The Anti-Defamation League has been at the forefront of promoting hate crime legislation, and openly advocates for their model anti-hate law.

READ the comments, they are an eye opener. Didn't realize we still had that level of free speech. Like this comment:

The hypocrisy of the ADL is astonishing. They want to silence others, but want to be afforded the right to speak hatefully of others as though Jews are the most oppressed people on earth. What are the Jews so afraid of? Why the need to silence anyone who has a differing opinion? Enough already with coming to America and changing our laws to suit YOU and YOUR suspect agendas. The American people have woken up and know exactly what you are doing and what you have done. It's time Americans get together and throw these criminals in jail for the crimes they continue to commit against American people (stealing our money!!!). They are TRAITORS to America and Americans. If they love Israel so much, why don't they go live there?

The ADL is one of the many Jewish organizations working day and night to completely castrate the White population into perpetual fear of being labeled “racist,” while they promote the destruction of our culture and it’s inevitable takeover by non-White elements and values.

Here's a little taste of Abe Foxman's speech he wants to support...... LIES. Lies told to support that nation of land thieves, false-flag experts, racists, con artists and murderers, Israel.

Is this for real or some Zionist psyop BS?

Administration blocks helicopters for Israel due to civilian casualties in Gaza May 27, 2009

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration has blocked Israel's request for advanced U.S.-origin attack helicopters.

Government sources said the administration has held up Israel's request for the AH-64D Apache Longbow attack helicopter. The sources said the request was undergoing an interagency review to determine whether additional Longbow helicopters would threaten Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip.

"During the recent war, Israel made considerable use of the Longbow, and there were high civilian casualties in the Gaza Strip," a source close to the administration said.

The sources said Israel has sought to purchase up to six new AH-64Ds in an effort to bolster conventional and counter-insurgency capabilities. They said Israel wants to replenish its fleet after the loss of two Apache helicopters in the 2006 war with Hizbullah.

Israel's Defense Ministry and air force have discussed procurement of additional Longbows with the U.S. firm Boeing. But the sources said the Longbow as well as other defense requests have been shelved by the administration amid its review of the potential use of American weapons platforms by Israel.

I don't know if this is a legit story or some Zio-propaganda. Until I see Gestapo Chief "Heinrich" Foxman screaming anti-Semitism or the Tel Aviv Washington Post pontificating on what this means for poor, brave and fighting against all odds Israel, then I'll have to assume this is some finely crafted Israeli psyops.

Add in the World Tribune.com content partners, like the Drudge Report, Newsmax and Zionist think tanks, the Hoover and Hudson Institute and one should take a LARGE grain of salt with this story.

Deja Vu: The Lobby Takes Aim at Another University Professor

It's another Israel Lobby hit-job, just like the one that resulted in Norman Finkelstein being denied tenure at De Paul University, Chicago. This time it's William I. Robinson of the University of California, Santa Barbara, who like Finkelstein is a Jewish academic, and who, also like Finkelstein, has the overwhelming support of his students against the debate-stifling, free speech-suppressing tactics of the Zionist Lobby.

Leading the campaign against Robinson is the notorious ADL of B'nai B'rith and the Simon Weisenthal Center, who were alerted of Robinson's alleged "anti-Semitism" by two Jewish students attending one of his classes.

Two Jewish students dropped the class, saying they felt intimidated by the professor's message. They contacted the Simon Wiesenthal Center, which advised them to file formal complaints with the university.

In their letters, senior Rebecca Joseph and junior Tova Hausman accused Robinson of violating the campus' faculty code of conduct by disseminating personal, political material unrelated to his course.

"I was shocked," said Joseph, 22. "He overstepped his boundaries as a professor. He has his own freedom of speech, but he doesn't have the freedom to send his students his own opinion that is so strong."

Does that even make sense? Presumably, free speech is ok by Joseph as long as your opinions aren't too 'strong'. The message that poor little Rebecca is referring to is an email that Professor Robinson forwarded to his sociology students containing information, images and commentary regarding the recent Gaza massacre. What the Terror State did to Gaza is definitely "shocking", but check out the content of the original email and see how "intimidated" you feel. Even the slavishly pro-Israel Zionists at The New Republic are sick of all the fuss, exclaiming "Enough With the Campus Inquisitions!"

An Interview with William Robinson
Zionist Lobby Targets Another Tenured Professor

By DOUG HENWOOD

Doug Henwood: We're now joined by William Robinson, who is a Professor of Sociology at the University of California in Santa Barbara, someone I met about six or seven years ago at a conference and, although I've disagreed with him on some issues, I though he's a serious and thoughtful guy. I was very distressed to learn, reading Insider Higher Ed, the website, today that he's being persecuted by the Zionist lobby for an e-mail that he sent around to some of his students. Welcome William Robinson, tell us the story of what you sent and what's been happening.

William Robinson: Yes, good afternoon to everyone. I included some material which was highly critical of the Israeli invasion of Gaza as part of the reading material for a course on globalization and global affairs, and this was in January. And I am now facing charges, here at the university, of anti-semitism and violating the faculty code of conduct because two students in the course - there were eighty students - these two submitted a formal letter of complaint that they found offensive the material condemning the invasion of Gaza. The students immediately withdrew from the course, I don't even know them personally. And what is particularly egregious about this case is not that the students submitted a complaint - any student is allowed to do that - but rather that the university took the complaint seriously and is actually prosecuting me...

DH: You have tenure right?

WR: Yes, I am tenured, I am a full time professor...

DH: So in theory you're protected against persecution for your beliefs.

WR: No, in theory, I have total, I and even if I don't have tenure, have academic freedom, and this is in total violation of my academic freedom and of all of the principles of academic freedom, and of the university's own charter on academic freedom, and the American Association of University Professors principles and procedures on academic freedom, so there is absolutely no basis for any of this. What's going on, and I want to explain, behind the scenes we have been able to find out - students on campus and faculty have formed a Committee to Defend Academic Freedom which is taking up this issue, and by the way, there is a blog that they put up with all of this information, which at some point I would like to give your listeners - but we have found out that the Anti-Defamation League, which, as you know, and your listeners probably know, is an organization which, at one time, did very good and very important work in denouncing anti-Semitism, but since then has become a, basically, a mouthpiece for the Israeli government, a defender of the policies and practices of the Israeli state, and goes after and attacks anyone that criticizes those policies. So these students did not even accuse me of doing anything which we would consider anti-Semitism - discrimination against Jews, against the Jewish religion and so forth - they said openly and outright that the professor introduces material which criticized the state of Israel and that equals anti-semitism.

DH: Now, I think some people found offensive that you had likened Israeli behavior to the Nazis. Is that an issue?

WR: Well I didn't do that. What I did was I forwarded several items from the world media, from the internet media. One item was an article written by a Jewish journalist in a Jewish newspaper here in the United States, and it was criticizing the invasion of Gaza...

DH: So you didn't endorse this position?

WR: I didn't endorse it but I did include, I said, in presenting this material, I said that Gaza is Israel's Warsaw and I explained the context. That's because in Warsaw the Nazi's surrounded Warsaw, concentrated Jews in Warsaw, wouldn't let anyone in, wouldn't let anyone out, wouldn't let supplies in, wouldn't let supplies out; as a result there was famine and disease and so forth...

DH: Which is exactly what's...

WR: ...exactly and precisely what the Israeli's are doing in Gaza. And that's been denounced by the Red Cross, the United Nations, the international human rights organizations, and moreover, academic freedom totally allows me to present such controversial material and that's part of what the university is all about. We academically debate these controversial issues. I want to explain though what happened. We got some inside information in the last week. The president of the Anti-Defamation League Abraham Fox-...

DH: Foxman

WR: Foxman, he arrived here in Santa Barbara and he called a meeting with a select group of faculty, and he called the meeting for no other reason than to say that we want Professor Robinson prosecuted, and this is explosive. We have just learned about this; we're going to go public with it. And so there is this outside Israel lobby which has come on to campus, and which is accusing me of anti- Semitism and of doing all of these terrible things in order to create an atmosphere of complete intimidation. You know that anyone who criticizes the policies of the state of Israel is silenced, and is given that label of anti-smitism; that's a way of creating this atmosphere of intimidation, that no one can speak out about what's going on in Israel-Palestine, and so forth. That's the larger context.

DH: Ok, I'm sorry to make this so rushed, but this is a last minute addition and the rest of the show is full, just let me conclude...What can people do?

WR: [Go to] sb4af.wordpress.com. That's the blog that the Committee to Defend Academic Freedom has set up, and a lot of this information is on there, a lot of the documents are on there.

DH: All right, well thank you William Robinson and best of luck in your fight and we'll be back to look at this in the future.

WR: Thank-you, thank-you very much.

DH: I've been speaking with William Robinson, who is a professor of sociology at the University of California at Santa Barbara, under persecution by the intellectual police at the Zionist lobby, the Anti-Defamation League.
