-Caveat Lector- A January 20, 1999 >From "National Jewish Coaltion Applauds Republican National Committee Condemnation of Racist Group January 20, 1999, Washington, DC.... The National Jewish Coalition wrote to Chairman Nicholson: "Your forceful and unequivocal condemnation of that group's racist views is a resounding restatement of one of the Republican Party's core principles. "The Republican Party has always been committed to the basic values of liberty, democracy, and equality. Hate and racism have no place in the party of Lincoln and never have." NJC National Chairman Cheryl Halpern said, "Republican Party leaders have consistently come out against racism and bigotry whenever they have appeared. Whether it's David Duke or the Council of Conservative Citizens, Republicans have repudiated those who espouse racist views and kept them out of the party. This party has a strong record of opposing hatred and racism, a record of which the party can be proud." By calling on all Republicans to denounce the Council of Concerned Citizens, Chairman Nicholson has once again demonstrated his commitment to putting principle above politics. The NJC commends him for standing up for the rights and equality of every American." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- ------------------------------------- B December 1999 "From Republican Jewish Coalition site: U.S. - Israel Relationship ...The U.S.-Israel alliance is of tremendous importance to both countries. Israel is a major ally of the U.S., a stable democracy in a region that is unstable and where certain rogue countries remain hostile to America's interests..." December 6,1999" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- -------------------------------------- C December 6, 1999 "New York Times December 6, 1999 JERUSALEM -- On the surface, the bill that Muhammad Baraka recently submitted to the Israeli Parliament seemed innocuous enough. Baraka, an Israeli-Arab legislator, is proposing to anchor in law the seemingly factual assertion that Israel is a democratic and multicultural state. Parliament's legal advisers, however, considered the bill so subversive that they recommended that it not even be sent to the floor for debate. Baraka's proposal, it seems, cleverly omits a sacred point: that Israel values one culture above all others. It is, after all, the Jewish homeland, established on a policy of ethnic preference to redress the enormity of the Holocaust as well as millennia of wandering..." "A Rightist Leader Stirs Tepid Dissent, and Assent . . .Haider's party did well in Vienna with a simple slogan, "Stop the Überfremdung," an appeal against "overforeignization" that, to a German speaker, carries connotations of Goebbels, as indeed do other aspects of Haider's speeches. Haider now disowns the slogan and says it was dreamed up by the Vienna branch of his Freedom Party. "...the speaker of Austria's Parliament, Heinz Fischer, promised that the legislature would pass a resolution against xenophobia. That evening, some 25,000 people rallied in Vienna against racism. The rally drew Haider's scorn and sharply divided even his opponents over its size and its aims. Doron Rabinovici, a writer and one of the rally's organizers, pledged at the gathering that anti-Haider forces will not wait next time until after an election to come out against racism. He demanded a law against discrimination because "no one can be certain of their future in Austria so long as someone is exposed to persecution because of their origins." The rally was "the beginning of a political movement against people who whip up fear, the first of many manifestations of courage," he said. At the Hofburg gathering, Haider inveighed against what he called frustrated left-wingers; an "organized witchhunt from abroad," and "this leftist, pseudo-intellectual nonsense about hating foreigners." To those who marched under the banner "Haider-shame for Austria," his retort was, "It is certainly not a shame to feel responsible above all for one's own people." Such language worries some Viennese. Ariel Muzicant, the leader of the small Jewish community that has re-formed since World War II, has said that anti-Semitic attacks are on the rise.
