Antisemitism Report 2009 - World Jewish Congress

Australian National Action have in the past engaged in a number of public activities,
including staging rallies in Melbourne and Adelaide, and publishing a newsletter which
maligns their enemies, including Jews. Their agenda was antisemitic, anti-immigration and
white-supremacist, with harassment of political opponents and direct confrontations regular
occurrences.
The internet site of National Action includes a series of articles critical of the Westminster
democratic system and multiculturalism. One lengthy paper, "Anti-Racial Vilification
Legislation: An authoritarian response to criticism of Immigration/Multicultural Policy", by
Jim Saleam, has a special section on "the Zionist Intervention", which claimed that "the
Zionists" were "the main ethnic protagonists" of the legislation‖. A list of links to the page
includes fascist and neo-Nazi groups, mainly in Europe.
A candidate for Melbourne‘s Monash Council announced his intention to form a ―White
Australia Party‖ as a splinter group from One Nation. Neil Smith, previously expelled from
Pauline Hanson‘s One Nation party, flew the flag of race-hate in the council elections. He
admitted to being a ―racist‖ who will ―aggressively reject‖ council monies going to
immigrants. Notably, even One Nation drew the line, pledging that his brand of racism isn‘t
welcome in their party, which expresses concern about Asian and Muslim immigration‖

The website of the White Pride Coalition of Australia promoted the Australian NSDAP, the
Australian Nationalists Movement, ASGARD and the Invisible Australian Empire.
However, there is no real evidence of this "Coalition" beyond the web-page and a
"newsletter", The Nationalist, which has irregularly been sent to Jewish groups in an
apparent attempt to intimidate Jewish Australians. ―White Pride Coalition of Australia‖ and
Ku Klux Klan leaflets have occasionally been distributed in regional centres, but this could
easily have been the handiwork of one or two individuals.
Far-rightwinger, David Innes (“Baron von Hund”) had a section “Jewwatch” on his White
Nationalist Resources website. It included a promotion of David Duke‟s Jewish
Supremacism, Jewwatch.com, and a series of links to site containing antisemitism based
on misrepresentations of, or forged quotes allegedly from, The Talmud.
The “People‟s Socialist News Service” of the National Bolsheviks of Australia editorialised
“The international capitalist-intelligentsia dictatorship has sent Mr. Fredrick Toben to prison
for three months for criticizing the official line taken by the dictatorship on the holocaust and
for not doing as he has been told to by the international dictatorship of the capitalists and
intellectuals. Comrade Fredrick Toben said that he was willing to go to gaol for what he
believes in.”, claiming “The courts charged Toben for contempt of court because he wouldn‟t
remove “racially vilifying” material. What was so “racist” and “vilifying” about saying that
Jews who thought the holocaust was real were of “limited intelligence”? That isn‟t racist
because it is true. One would have to be thick to avoid debating history or trying to deny
history.” (14/5/09). The People‟s Socialist News Service included an item “The lawyers for
the Jews have asked the Federal Court to launch another contempt of court charge against Mr
Fredrick Toben. One might think that this is blatant persecution of a man for what he
believes in. One would‟ve thought that the Jews would know how it feels to be persecuted by
the state. But yet the Jews are persecuting a intellectual for putting forward an alternative
