Some 1975 Antizionism From A Jew

Thanks to a young researcher who transmitted to me this information, I suggest you review at this site a transcrupt of William F. Buckley show, "Firing Line", taped on Nov 26, 1975 and broadcast on Nov 29, 1975. It was a follow-up to the infamous UN "Zionism is Racism" vote and pitted Paul Riebenfeld, a member of the National Executive Committee of the Zionist Organization of America against Alfred M. Lilienthal, editor and publisher of Middle East Perspective, a veteran Jewish antizionst from the old American Council for Judaism (and there is a current ACJ)

Here's the summary:

"Unquestionably the single most widely discussed vote ever taken by the General Assembly of the United Nations," Mr. Buckley begins, "was that in which it defined Zionism as a form of racism and racial discrimination." Most Jewish leaders had "interpreted [this] as a vote encouraging anti-Semitism throughout the world," but not Mr. Lilienthal, who believes that "Zionism in its treatment both of Jews and non-Jews is racist.

If you're surprised when I say, 'both of Jews,' it's because...under the Law of Return it does not consider [Jews] as full citizens in the countries in which they live, but merely as potential citizens."

Mr. Riebenfeld takes the bull by the horns -- "I'd like to say that it is rather unusual to refer to Dr. Lilienthal...as a Jewish leader...As a matter of fact he prefers not to call himself a Jew but a Judaist" -- and we're off and running"

If you do get a chance to read through Lilienthal's words, you will be astounded at the degree of hatred and animosity towards Jews - forget about Israel - that he is willing to spout off and arouse.
