| Transcript | series of four articles by Louis Harap in Jewish Life, April-July, 1948, which shed an interesting light on the character of the American Jewish Committee. No doubt many honest people have been taken in, confused and shocked, by the hysterical campaign against the Soviet Union. But the leaders of the American Jewish Committee or of the Jewish Labor Committee are not among them. They know the record of the Soviet Union. Their files are full of facts and documents on what the Soviet Union has done for the Jewish people. These gentlemen know where to find the truth—if they want it. No. These are no misinformed, misled souls. These are groups determined to distort the facts so as to mislead the Jewish masses. The purpose of this despicable campaign of calumny was expressed clearly in an article by George Fielding Eliot in the New York Post of April 6th, in which he said, "The blind and stupid support of the Soviet Union by many American Jews who can see only that 'Russia voted for partition' must come to an end." This then is the purpose of this filthy campaign—to alienate the Jewish people from the Soviet Union, since they look to this land with gratitude for its consistent support of Israel and for its glorious record of struggle against anti-Semitism. Eliot and his pack may consider the Jews "stupid and blind." He knows that it is necessary to arouse hatred to a hysterical pitch, since preparations are moving apace to plunge the world into a war against the Soviet Union. Those who know that there is no cause for war other than the rapacious appetites of profit-mad imperialists who will stop at nothing even if it means rebuilding fascism all over again, have to be deceived, if they are to be won over to the war camp. To this end, no lie is too big, no slander too great. And, of all the lies, the one about anti-Semitism in the Soviet Union is one of the dirtiest and foulest ever spewed out by minds distorted by venom and hatred. 31 |
