In this headline-making work, a prominent French scholar delivers one powerful blow after another to the pernicious historical myths cited for decades to justify Zionist aggression and repression, including the Israeli legend of a "land without people for a people without land," and the most sacred of Jewish-Zionist icons, the Holocaust extermination story. For financial gain, as an alibi for indefensible policies, and for other reasons, Jews have used what the author calls "theological myths" to arrogate for themselves a "right of theological divine chosenness." The wartime suffering of Europe's Jews, he contends, has been elevated to the status of a secular religion, and is now treated with sacrosanct historical uniqueness.

Just who benefits from the seemingly perpetual Holocaust cam­paign? In this passionate but thoroughly researched and close­ly argued book, an American Jewish scholar nails the "Holocaust industry" as a "racket" that serves narrow Jewish interests -- above all the interests of Israel and powerful Jew­ish-Zionist organizations. "Organized American Jewry has ex­ploited the Nazi holocaust to deflect criticism of Israel’s and its own morally indefensible policies," the author charg­es. The Holocaust campaign serves "to delegitimize all crit­icism of Jews."

Noted author and syndicated columnist Joseph Sobran deftly dissects the Zi­onist state’s familiar pretensions, provides a stinging critique of the US-Israel “special relationship," and explains how the Holo­caust story is used to justify support for Israel. Sobran is in top form in this witty, stimulating banquet address at the 14th IHR Conference (June 2002).

A memorable, hard-hitting address by a Wellesley College professor of African studies. Dr. Martin takes a closely reasoned look at the techniques used by Jewish groups to marginalize, discredit and si­lence those whom they regard as harmful to their interests. He cites numerous specific examples, including outright lying and misrepresentation, use of ad hominen and “straw man” arguments, and arranging for pliant stooges to front for Jewish groups. Prof. Martin, who has authored or compiled/ edited eleven books, came under tremendous attack from organized Jewry in 1993 because he had included a book on the Jewish role in the trans-Atlantic slave trade in a course he was teaching. From the 14th IHR Conference, 2002.

A seasoned writer and commentator who has often appeared in American television provides a moving and insightful Palestinian perspective on the seemingly intractable Israel-Palestine conflict. Taking aim at the hypocrisy of US policy in the Mid­dle East, Said Arikat charges that US support for Israel’s brutal oppression of Palestinians is a betrayal of that ideals that Americans claim to uphold. The US routinely holds Arab and other countries to one standard of conduct, he says, while holding the Zionist state to another. For example, he points out, US political leaders demand that Palestinians adopt a new constitution, one that is more acceptable to Israel, even though Israel itself has never had one. From the 14th IHR Conference, 2002.

This prolific author and journalist tells the story of his headline-making book, An Eye for an Eye, in a dramatically delivered address to the 13th IHR Conference that he had been prevented from giving at the US Holocaust Memorial Museum. Sack, who is himself Jewish, relates how Jews working in Communist Poland’s “Office of State Security” tortured and murdered innocent German civilians. An Eye for an Eye (available from Noontide Press) details how the Of­fice's agents rounded up some 200,000 men, women, children and infants -- 99 percent of them non- combatant, innocent civilians. Incarcerated in cellars, pris­ons, and 1,255 concentration camps where typhus was rampant and torture was commonplace, the inmates subsisted on starva­tion rations. In this brief period, between 60,000 and 80,000 Germans perished at the hands of the Office.

One of the most outspoken and honest American Jewish writers of this century offers an unvarnished apologia for Jewish ethics and the Jewish world-view. His unsparing disdain for Gentile and Jewish hypocrisy alike has made anti-Semites fume, philo-Semites sputter, and disingenuous Jews cringe since the 1920s.

A scholarly but fervent look at the origins of the Israel- Palestine conflict, the Zionist grip on US policy, and Isra­el’s genocidal policies toward the non-Jewish population of the Holy Land, by an outstanding Palestinian diplomat and his­torian (author of the two-volume Encyclopedia of the Palestine Question). In light of events in recent years, this lecture is highly relevant and even prophetic. Effective as an anti­dote to many of the most widespread Zionist myths and lies. From the 3rd IHR Conference, 1981.

An outstanding Christian Palestinian scholar provides an el­oquent, informed look into the background and origins of the seemingly endless strife in the Holy Land. Hadawi, author of Bitter Harvest, and co-author of the two-volume Palestine Di­ary, examines the grim record of Jewish-Zionist encroachment and dispossession. In this valuable overview of the history of Palestine, and the plight of its oppressed people, he high­lights the crimes of Ariel Sharon and other Zionist leaders. Hadawi takes on the much-discussed issue of Palestinian “ter­rorism,” and indicts the shameful support by many American Christians for the Zionist oppression of fellow Christians in the Holy Land. As topical as this week’s headlines! From the 4th IHR Conference, 1982.
