someone who dared to write that Yigal Amir did not murder
Yitzhak Rabin.
It is this cultural breakthrough that has generated some
resentment among English writers in the country, but none
moreso than an obsessive accuser from Haifa. He has
illegally abused the Internet, sending missives against me
under phony names, with two main claims.
The first is that I write about UFOs, a heinous crime if there
ever was one. From 1987-99, Israel saw a barrage of
unexplained aerial phenomena, all highly publicized by the
Hebrew media. Using ethical journalistic standards, I
documented the events and received worldwide recognition
for my efforts. Four episodes of the NBC-TV program
Sightings were dedicated to my discoveries, and in 1999,
Fox-TV devoted a full half hour of prime time to my work. I'm
very proud of this period of my career but the phenomena
stopped and I haven't written a word on the subject in six
years.
The next claim is so slanderous that I was forced to sue the
obsessive accuser. He has actually accused me of being a
Holocaust denier. Type my name into Google and you will
find that my work appears on the internet 71,100 times,
again, by far the most of any Israeli native-English writer. A
few of those sites are run by the deniers, therefore, abusing
guilt by association, I must be one of them. In fact, I have no
control over the internet and anyone who finds my writing
useful can copy and paste it into their sites. I appear on far
more sites run by socialists and new-agers.
Yaacov Levi, then-moderator of the Yahoo newsgroup of
Americans For A Safe Israel, investigated the accuser's
claims and concluded: "He is always identified as pro-Israel
and a Holocaust 'believer'. They quote him simply because
he raises questions looking for accountability from the Israeli
government. What a concept ! I also checked out other
websites of the revisionist genera, they ALL cite him as pro-
