MORE ON THE ANTI-SEMITIC LEAFLET AT HARVARD

A River in Cambridge (WSJ-BOTW)
"One day after a flyer decrying 'the Jewish-Zionist hold on US political life' appeared outside some undergraduate dorms, a California-based activist and Holocaust revisionist confirmed that he wrote the flyer but said that he had no role in distributing it at Harvard," reports the Harvard Crimson:

The flyer--posted around Eliot House and outside several Yard dorms--was entitled "Iraq: A War for Israel," and reproduced an excerpt of an essay that Mark Weber wrote for the Institute for Historical Review. It claims that "the crucial factor in President Bush's decision to attack was to help Israel."

It appeared alongside a second flyer that encouraged readers to join the organization National Vanguard, which the flyer described as "an intelligent and responsible organization that stands up for the interests of White people."

That second leaflet went on to say, "many churches today play a dangerous role in favor of racial integration, and, especially in certain U.S. sects, in promoting Zionism," and warned that "interracial sex is unsafe."

In a phone interview from Newport Beach, Calif., Weber said of the first flyer: "The
leaflet makes some of the same points as are made in the 81 page paper by [Kennedy School Academic Dean M. Stephen] Walt and [University of Chicago professor John J.] Mearsheimer." . . .

Walt was unavailable for comment.
