The following statements are compiled evidence of Paul Larudees support for and

collaboration with anti-Semites:

In 2012, Paul Larudee defended Gilad Atzmon, an Israeli Jew and self-
proclaimed member of the Palestinian solidarity movement, after Palestinian
activists condemned Atzmon for making anti-Semitic statements. Atzmon claims
that Jewish politics and the historic fight against the brutal history of anti-Semitism
is the same as modern Zionism, the ideological fuel for the oppression of
Palestinians. Through his conflation of Judaism with Zionism, Atzmon concluded
that self-identified Jews cannot be in solidarity with Palestine, which is an absolute
falsehood.

In an attempt to defend Atzmon, Larudee made claims attempting to


discredit the Palestinian Boycott National Committee by saying that it was being
funded by George Soros. This plays on the age-old anti-Semitic trope, that The
Jewish international bankers control everything. The idea that Jews conspire to
control powerful institutions has been used to justify centuries anti-Semitic
violence, most notably the Holocaust. Larudee provides no evidence for this claim,
except for a single line in Omar Barghoutis book. Larudee then demanded that the
BDS movement disclose all of its sources of funding.

It was inappropriate for Larudee to defend Atzmon as he is not Palestinian


and therefore has no role in defining a movement about Palestinian rights. It is even
more problematic that Larudee thought the appropriate response to the
denouncement of his friend was to discredit a movement supported by 86% of
Palestinians. In order to truly support Palestinians, he should accept the letter of
condemnation written and signed by the largest organization in the Palestine
Solidarity Movement. Most importantly, Atzmons statements were, without a doubt,
flagrantly anti-Semitic. Larudees defense of Atzmon is unjustified. The leaders of
the Palestinian Boycott National Committee were able to identify Atzmons anti-
Semitism, but Larudee was not.

Paul Larudee had a similar clash with the Stanford chapter of Students for
Justice in Palestine when Larudee invited Alison Weir to a Stanford SJP event. Alison
Weir has repeatedly been a guest on Clay Douglas radio show, The Free American.
Douglas is a white supremacist that has made many anti-LGBT, racist, and anti-
Semitic statements. During Douglas August 25, 2010 show, Douglas invoked the
Protocols of the Elders of Zion, one of the most famous anti-Semitic texts ever
published. Weir did not raise any objections to Douglas reference to this book and
continued on with the conversation as if nothing objectionable had been said.

She appeared again on Douglas May 19, 2011 show alongside John Kaminski,
an anti-Semitic journalist who specializes in the topic of Jewish Supremacy. Here
are some things that Kaminski has said:
The Jews are traitors to every country that they live in. Everyone in the
entire world needs to wake up and realise what Jewish influence, Jewish
poison medicine, Jewish fake wars and Jewish control of their money
supplies have done to everyone in the entire world. It is easily the greatest
crime ever committed by humans. The sad thing about Jewish philosophy is,
after they wind up destroying everybody else, they won't be able to avoid
destroying themselves.

Jews promote diversity because it dilutes the ethnic fabric of nations and allows
the tribe to assimilate and exploit more efficiently. They are better able to hide in a
confusing racial mix, where people are less likely to notice they are ruthless Asian
nomads, who destroy societies because they never really had one of their own that
they didn't steal from someone else.

Not only did Weir appear on the show with Kaminski, but she also engaged with
Kaminski in a casual conversation about Palestine. The conversation was littered
with phrases like Jewish perverts and Zionist-owned newspapers and radio
stations. Weir did not stop the conversation to reject this bigotry. Instead, she
appeared on Douglas show a third time on September 1, 2012.

Once again, Larudee came to the defense of an anti-Semite. In a Mondoweiss article


about the tension between the Palestine Solidarity Committee and Alison Weir,
Larudee wrote:

Necessary to remove Alison because she is an anti-Semite? Because she is a


racist? Because she is a white supremacist? No, because tactically perhaps
the BDS movement might face opposition. So all the reasons for expelling her
were a lie, and the reason for ordering JVP chapters to ostracize her have
nothing to do with whether she speaks the truth or what she says is relevant,
only about how it might appear and in what direction to try to mold public
opinion. Ye shall know the carefully crafted message, and Madison Avenue
shall set you free.
