>  It was written by a young student, Philip Kurian, a Duke University

>  Case History:  2004 Duke University Palestine Solidarity Conference 
>By Charles E. Carlson 
>
>  The Anti-Defamation League is one of the most aggressive protectors 
>of Jewish and Israeli interests.  Its name is an oxymoron, for the 
>ADL does its work almost exclusively through the practice of 
>defamation and intimidation.  Oddly, its seems bent on protecting 
>tens of millions of professing Christians from finding out that they 
>are actually practicing secular Judaism, or Pharisaism, as Christ 
>called it.  They irrationally support Israel's occupation and prison 
>wall agenda in Palestine.  We Hold These Truths and this writer have 
>recently found ourselves a front row center target of an Anti- 
>Defamation League attack. (Link1)  It defamed us to obscure our 
>message from the students, why Judaized Christians are Israel's most 
>radical cheerleaders. 
>
>  "Christian Zionism" (Judaized Christianity) was to be one of the 
>workshop offerings at the Palestine Solidarity Movement Conference 
>at Duke University, and this writer was asked to be a primary 
>presenter.  But a week before the conference was to take place, the 
>ADL became involved, whereupon the student leaders removed 
>"Christian Zionism" from the agenda and withdrew their invitation 
>for Carlson to participate in the conference. 
>
>  There is evidence that the ADL manipulated and probably intimidated 
>the student committees through the Anti-Racist-Action Network (ARA) 
>to remove the one topic that would expose Judaized Christianity, the 
>ADL's primary sacred cow, and the handmaiden of world Zionism. 
>WHTT's program reveals how self-defeating it is for professing 
>Christians to carry out world Zionist aims.  This is a good reason 
>for the ADL not to like it. 
>
>  The purpose of this paper is to help our friends learn how to 
>identify their allies and keep others at arm's length.  It is an 
>object lesson for Palestinians and indeed for all Muslims, and for 
>anyone else who considers it a moral imperative to save the lives of 
>the remaining Philistines, and tear down the obscene wall, paid for 
>with our own money.  Your author is a friend of the Philistines, the 
>truly pro-Palestine students, and Duke University, because all are 
>the underdogs, and all need our support.  This paper is not a 
>criticism of any of these parties or their efforts. 
>
>  In order to remove Christian Zionism as a workshop topic, the ADL 
>chose to defame We Hold These Truths and its founder.  It is no 
>surprise to be targeted by the Anti-Defamation League; in fact, 
>we're surprised it took them so long to put WHTT on their front 
>page.  The ADL has mentioned us on its website from time to time; 
>the last time was when we wrote in support of Mel Gibson's film, 
>"The Passion."  ADL President Abe Foxman used to be on our weekly 
>mailing list (we do not know how he got there), but he removed 
>himself some months ago, we are sorry to say. 
>
>  This writer's first experience with the ADL came almost six years 
>ago.  It proved to be a height of arrogance I had not seen before in 
>my years.  
>
>  I was seated at the head table at a small luncheon and could not 
>help but notice a man across from me, who, during most of the 
>speech, ignored the speaker and even his own lunch, while reading 
>from one of several Journals I had written.  He read intently with 
>undisguised signs of agitation.  I learned from others he was a 
>local lawyer who had signed in under the name of Friedman.  
>
>  A few nights later, to my surprise, the same Friedman called me at 
>home and introduced himself, explaining he was a volunteer for a 
>national organization whose task it was to watch over the actions of 
>a list of organizations that included newly formed We Hold These 
>Truths.  Friedman identified Grand Canyon University as another of 
>the organizations he monitored, and over which he said, proudly, he 
>had considerable influence, even though he was a Jew and they were a 
>Baptist college.  Friedman then referred to my various articles 
>featured in the Journals he had digested and made this amazing 
>statement that I could never forget: 
>
>  "We can not allow you to continue to print this kind of thing." 
>
>  Friedman was talking about hard copy articles, all of which are 
>still available today on our website.  In them, I had written 
>critically about those who are now called "Christian Zionists" (a 
>term that did not exist then), and U S Foreign aid to Israel.  One 
>was entitled Using Christians to Make War.  Another was The 
>Warmakers' Attack on Religious Fundamentalism ("Warmakers" being a 
>synonym then for what are today's Neo-Cons).  Others were America's 
>First War of Aggression (Iraq 1991), Missionaries, Mercenaries, 
>Missiles and Money, the Untold Story of the War on the Children of 
>Sudan, and One Nation Under Israel, an exposé of Israeli influence 
>over our Congress. 
>
>  Friedman's words made it clear that by "we," he meant the unnamed 
>organization that I learned the next day was the Anti-Defamation 
>League, and that his manner meant he considered it within his power 
>to prevent me from writing, though he never suggested how.  He 
>seemed to fully expect me to comply with his suggestion, and 
>repeated more than once, "We can not allow you to continue to print 
>this kind of thing." 
>
>  I offered to make factual corrections of any untrue statements Mr. 
>Friedman or his organization could find but told him I did not feel 
>like giving up my work, as he suggested.  Mr. Friedman responded 
>that they had no interest in editing my work.  He even called a 
>second time, again at night, to see if I had changed my mind.  This 
>is terrorism, ADL style.  Surveillance and confrontation followed by 
>veiled intimidation, is how it starts.  
>
>  The ADL's audacious demand elevated the value of my work in my own 
>eyes, and Mr. Friedman's arrogance convinced me I would need a new 
>media to distribute any ideas worth their salt.  Our Board decided a 
>printed journal could not go far enough, due to established censors 
>like the ADL and the controlled press.  Instead, WHTT began to reach 
>out on the infant Internet, which we have used ever since. 
>
>  Looking back at my first writings, I can see why the ADL operative 
>might want to censor titles like The Warmaker's Attack on Religious 
>Fundamentalism and Attacking Islam.  While these said little 
>directly about Israel or Jews or Zionists, much was said about 
>Judaized Christians.  These articles began an exposure of Israel's 
>surrogate Enablers--the Judaized Christian Church--who supported and 
>made possible the implementation of Israel's entire public policy. 
>
>  Sadly, the students at Duke allowed their program to be diluted. 
>This became inevitable when they first allowed Jewish anti-Zionist 
>members into their decision-making committees; no doubt they did so 
>to avoid the label "anti-Semitic" and to add respectability.  It is 
>a formula that usually backfires. 
>
>  The ADL has also defamed the Palestine Solidarity Movement (PSM) 
>members, who it manipulated into transforming their conference into 
>a seminar on "divesture."  In a future issue we will discuss 
>divesture as a winning or losing tactic.   However divesture is a 
>financial solution to a moral problem, therefore it has limited 
>value.   Not everyone with moral values has money to withdraw from 
>Israel.  Israel will obtain its entire budget to build a $9 billion 
>prison wall around the West Bank Palestinians from the American 
>taxpayer, via the Bush Administration in just one year.  This is the 
>money that must be divested, and everyone has an interest in it. 
>The Judaized Christian vote keeps Israel afloat.
>
>  We applaud and support the few mainline churches including the 
>Presbyterians (PCUSA) who have denounced Israeli treatment of the 
>Palestinians.  Theirs is a giant and courageous step forward in the 
>name of Christian values.  The Anti Defamation League is cranking up 
>the pressure on the PCUSA in response.  National Director Abraham 
>Foxman went into orbit when on October 21, 2004, the Presbyterian 
>leaders listened to Hizbullah's side of the story in Palestine. 
>This is exactly what Christians should do, seek the truth and hear 
>all sides. But The ADL is attempting to paint the PCUSA as 
>"terrorist" sympathizers because they talked to Palestinian 
>resistance leaders.  Again, we see the ADL tactics repeated. (link2)
>
>   The ADL used its well-known system of observe, infiltrate, and 
>intimidate, and finally divide and control. The students yielded to 
>the ADL's smear of Carlson.  PSM affiliates were also responding to 
>pressure from a second radical "anti-racist" group known for its 
>violence--Anti-Racist Action--a member of the PSM. (link 3)  The ARA 
>repeated almost the exact words the ADL in denouncing this writer, 
>and the students accepted its judgment. 
>
>  When one considers Mr. Friedman's boldness and understands that 
>intimidation and defamation are the ADL's methods of preventing any 
>speech that is negative toward Jews, Israel, or Zionism, or any of 
>their allies, however truthful it might be, then it is not hard to 
>see why 21-year old students--especially Arab students, might yield 
>to pressure from the likes of Mr. Friedman and his Anti-Defamation 
>League.  These students are already profiled as likely or potential 
>terrorists and have reason to fear based on what they have seen and 
>heard. 
>
>  Not only did the Palestine Solidarity Movement withdraw their 
>invitation to Carlson... they removed entirely the most important 
>agenda item on their schedule--Christian Zionism. Unless one 
>understands Christian Zionism, there is no way to understand the 
>power structure that has made and will continue to make life and 
>peace for the Palestinians impossible.  Without understanding it, it 
>will not be changed, which is what the ADL wants. 
>
>  STUDENTS ARE DISCREDITED BY ADL
>
>  As soon as the student leaders helped discredit Carlson they found 
>themselves examined by the ADL for signs of "terrorists."  In an 
>article entitled Duke University: Next Target of Anti-Israel 
>Activists,(Link 1)  the ADL profiled each Arab leader of PSM, 
>quoting minutiae from their own writings, shaded in terrorist tones. 
>Groping for anything, they even quoted from letters to the editor. 
>One dangerous "anti-Zionist" Jewish student gained his stripes by 
>throwing a pie at an Israeli leader. 
>
>  Curiously, the same article failed to quote a single word from 
>WHTT.org or Carlson.  You would think we had never written anything! 
>The WHTT website contains over 100 articles by Carlson, with no less 
>than 21 specifically referencing the Anti-Defamation League and many 
>more making references to Israel and Zionism.  There is even a four- 
>part series on the so-called suicide bombings!  Surely the ADL could 
>have found something there to quote from the WHTT.org website.  As 
>Mr. Freidman let me know years before, the ADL does not want people 
>to go there.  Here are some of the ADL denunciations in its 
>statements on October 5th: 
>
>  "Charles E. Carlson, co-founder of We Hold These Truths, an 
>Arizona- based, conspiracy-oriented anti-Semitic group" 
>
>  "Carlson's group also arranges anti-Israel protests and 
>demonstrations in the Southwest."
>
>  (Project Strait Gate is a mission activity that holds vigils for 
>peace at some of the largest Judaized Christian churches and 
>meetings from coast to coast, which the ADL could have pointed out, 
>is detailed on the WHTT website...but they didn't.) 
>
>  "[Carlson] has spoken at white supremacist gatherings organized by 
>groups ranging from the neo-Nazi National Alliance to the Holocaust- 
>denying Institute for Historical Review." 
>
>  The ADL made no mention of what Carlson said at these alleged 
>gatherings. The Institute for Historical Review posted Carlson's 
>speech for anyone who wants to listen to it.  Surely if this speech 
>was such a crime, the ADL should have been able to find something 
>juicy to quote from it.  But no, they didn't quote a phrase.  That 
>speech contains the same material to be presented at the Duke 
>seminar. (Link 4) 
>
>  The students, especially the Palestinians probably knew enough not 
>to be influenced by the ADL.  I suspect they were influenced instead 
>by the two Jewish "anti-Zionists" on their Board.  It is one thing 
>for Jewish students to resist the wanton killing of Palestinians and 
>it is another to defy the Rabbi or the ADL. 
>
>  To further discredit the students and Duke University, on October 
>12 the Israeli "Hate BUS 19" (link 5) was driven onto the Duke 
>campus and parked in front of the University Chapel.  The purpose of 
>this bombed-out hideously decorated gift from Israel is to 
>graphically portray every Palestinian who resists Israel as a 
>maniacal advocate of child-killing.  Anti-Palestinian organizers 
>then brought on Neo- Con Daniel Pipes to further discredit the 
>Palestinians in a story entitled Duke University's Weekend Hate 
>Fest. (link6) 
>
>  LESSON FOR SURVIVAL
>
>  American Palestinians and all Muslims need to learn to identify 
>their friends from their enemies based on logical objectives and 
>moral values.  Jesus was referring to Pharisee leaders when he 
>warned, "be not unequally yoked with disbelievers."  Until 
>Palestinians learn this lesson, their people will perish by 
>American-made weapons. 
>
>  We remind anyone who is foolish enough to judge WHTT based on who 
>we talk to instead of what we say, that Jesus was twice recorded 
>giving major lectures to prostitutes.  WHTT is a group of mostly 
>Christ followers that has a message for everyone, especially non- 
>Christians.  Time and money permitting, we talk to any organization 
>that gives us a fair audience.  The "notorious" Institute of 
>Historical Review was quite constructive to this speaker, and most 
>listeners seemed to absorb every word.  Several ended up helping us. 
>I am grateful that they recorded my speech because it exposes the 
>ADL for what it is--a practicing word-terrorist group that resorts 
>to lies and intimidation to advance its plot to liquidate 
>Palestinians and any other group that stands in their way. 
>
>  The students sadly have no idea what it means to allow the ADL axis 
>to dictate who can and who cannot speak to their group.  They fail 
>to realize the anti-skinhead, Anti-Racist-Action Network, which 
>talks and acts like Bolsheviks, is closer to the ADL than it is to 
>themselves.  The PSM has its "Mr. Friedman" inside their group, 
>planted there to wreck its agenda.  American Palestinians need to 
>know this. 
>
>  WHAT WHTT IS DOING TO HELP
>
>  Many have sent letters to the students trying to warn them.  I will 
>be posting some of these wonderful and insightful letters, which 
>should be helpful to the PSM.  
>
>  We have e-mailed our report, Israeli Hate-Bus Tours Churches, which 
>we have studied in detail, to 9000 Duke University students and 
>faculty, local pastors, religious leaders, media and others in 
>Durham, NC.  All the addresses were collected by volunteers. 
>
>  A follow up broadcast will be made of the article Judeo-Christians' 
>Role--Mr. Sharon's Final Solution. (link 5)  Later we will send this 
>article and others about Judaized Christianity (one at a time) to 
>many additional leaders worldwide.  
>
>  We have decided to make a Power Point presentation over the 
>Internet.  The Source of our War Problems: Why Judaized Christians 
>Cannot Demand Peace, will soon be available to anyone worldwide who 
>want to see it.  A year old version of "Chuck's Speech" can be heard 
>in audio on our homepage.

>  Our efforts have been made possible by individual gifts.  We thank 
>those who have helped.  Let us know if you can help with money or 
>work.  Cash is faster; labor is more permanent; we need both, and 
>will use them well.
