U.S. ARMY FACES CHARGES OF ANTI-SEMITISM

US army faces anti-Semitism allegations (JPost)
The founder of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation is threatening a lawsuit against the US military over what he says are anti-Semitic materials on a Fort Leavenworth Web site. Three Bible study lessons on the post chaplain's Web site pushed Christianity and blamed Jews for acts of terrorism, including the crucifixion of Jesus and the persecution of other early Christian leaders, said Michael Weinstein.

His foundation calls itself a watchdog group for expanding religious freedom in the US military.

Weinstein said the materials, which were removed after he and others complained, were an example of a larger problem. He said a lawsuit is necessary to stop "widespread" violations of religious freedom in the military.

"It is all over the US military," Weinstein said. "We are going to have to do this, because letter writing and phone calls aren't enough."
