cosmopolitanism and equalitarianism. Another argument is that the Holocaust is unique<br />

because of the ‗numbers‘. To take this line means that there needs to be rational<br />

examination of the ‗numbers‘ and that as we know is a very sore legal point across the West.<br />

So is any scientific proof of the ‗singularity‘ of the Holocaust possible? Bendle does not<br />

address this question. Please explain.‖ The publication offered for sale David Irving‘s DVD<br />

―Search for Truth in History‖.<br />

* On Target Bulletin (31/7/09) advertised antisemitic DVDs including Eric Butler‘s ―The<br />

Planned Surrender of Australia‖ and David Irving‘s ―Search for Truth in History‖.<br />

* The New Times Survey (July <strong>2009</strong>) published a feature by Israel Shamir which recycled a<br />

number of anti-Israel myths during the course of applauding Iran‘s election results.<br />

* In On Target (14/8/09) Betty Luks wrote in an article ―Even Rabbis Feel the Sting of<br />

Graft‖, ―The rabbis were the chief rabbi of the Syrian <strong>Jewish</strong> Community in the U.S., and<br />

the chief rabbis of synagogues in Brooklyn, New York and Deal, New Jersey. It is alleged<br />

by the FBI that the rabbis were players in an international money-laundering operation<br />

linking Israel, Switzerland and the U.S. The arrests were made possible by the co-operation<br />

of an orthodox <strong>Jewish</strong> real estate developer who was charged in 2006 with defrauding the<br />

PNC Bank of $US 25 million – he was used by the FBI to hook the defendants by offering<br />

them bribes (while he was free on a $US 10 million bond). And then we have our trafficker<br />

in human body parts, ―the kidney salesman‖, who preyed on people in Israel to get them to<br />

sell their kidneys for as little as US$10,000 while he sold the kidneys to transplant patients<br />

in the U.S. for US$160,000. He had been in this line of business for a decade! Don‘t hold<br />

your breath waiting for Hollywood to make a movie out of all this! Back in Australia, the<br />

N.S.W. Supreme Court of Appeal has struck off disgraces former judge Marcus Einfeld,<br />

finding him not a fit and proper person to practice law. (The Australian, 24/7/09 p.3) This<br />

is an interesting ending for a champion of political correctness.‖<br />

* On Target Bulletin (21/8/09) published an antisemitic article on ―the rise of <strong>Jewish</strong> crime‖<br />

by well-known antisemite ―Israel Shamir‖.<br />

The distribution of books, cassettes and videos, often of League of Rights' functions'<br />

speakers, or antisemitic works such as The Protocols of Zion, is an important League of<br />

Rights core activity. Journalists interviewing leaders of the Australian League of Rights<br />

report "a small room off the main office where their literature is displayed" which is referred<br />

to as "the Jew room". "A visitor showing interest is told the Talmud . . . endorses intercourse<br />

with children who are non-believers and permits bestiality. The three men minding the<br />

bookstore laugh about being not politically correct".<br />

6.4 Neo-Nazis and other far-right wing splinter groups<br />

In most cities, small groups of neo-Nazis, sometimes including violent skinheads, have<br />

come to attention during the past year. Racist skinheads not necessarily aligned to any<br />

formal organisation are known to be present in small numbers in cities and towns spread<br />

around Australia and have allegedly been involved in racist violence against Asian students<br />

and harassment of members of left-wing groups. Attempts to exploit these groups or direct<br />

their violence towards Jews and other minorities are common.<br />
