I had been wondering what Daniel McGowan, the Holocaust denier from Geneva, New York, had been up to lately. (For my other posts on McGowan, click here ). David Adler of Lerterland, in a posting entitled " Don't Let Atzmon Hoodwink America's Jazz Scene ," reports that Gilad Atzmon, the noted jazz musician and anti-semite, will be playing two concerts in upstate New York (Rochester and Geneva), that were organized by McGowan. Atzmon is playing with someone named Rich Siegel, who seems to be as anti-Israel (and as forgiving of Holocaust deniers) as Atzmon is.

(Both of the posts are from Mondoweiss - for a flavor of the site's wacko anti-Zionist politics, read Philip Weiss's anti-Elena Kaga...

The Anti-Defamation League does a survey every few years about anti-semitism in the United States. The first survey was done in 1964, the most recent in the fall of 2009 . The survey asks the respondents for their responses to 11 "index statements." Anti-Semitic Index: • Jews stick together more than other Americans. • Jews always like to be at the head of things. • Jews are more loyal to Israel than America. • Jews have too much power in the U.S. today. • Jews have too much control and influence on Wall Street. • Jews have too much power in the business world. • Jews have a lot of irritating faults. • Jews are more willing than others to use shady practices to get what they want. • Jewish business people are so shrewd that others don’t have a fair chance at competition. • Jews don’t care what happens to anyone but their own kind. • Jews are (not) just as honest as other businesspeople. Those who agree with six or more of the index statements are regarded as "the most an...
