Defending Publisher Arthur Topham, Zionist Target

Captain Eric H. May | 15.01.2008 20:50 | Anti-racism | Culture | History | London | World

Captain Eric H. May, the Internet intelligence writer, presents a compelling defense of Radical Press Publisher, Arthur Topham, who has become a the object of a thought crime witchhunt by Canadian Zionists.

Defending Publisher Arthur Topham, Zionist Target
(to the Quesnel Cariboo Observer)

My home state of Texas is quite far from Canada, but news travels fast on the Internet. Yesterday I read a January 13 article from the Quesnel Cariboo Observer, "Topham views under attack: B’nai Brith claims anti-Jewish writings" --  http://www.bclocalnews.com/bc_cariboo/quesnelobserver/news/13717397.html

I applaud the balanced tone with which your reporter, Autumn MacDonald, examined an issue that is all too often obscured by ad hominem attacks against anyone who, like Mr. Topham, challenges the influence or intentions of the Israel lobby. As a reader of Topham's Radical Press, I can vouch that the publisher lives up to the name of his publication, but I would hasten to add that his radicalism is not racism.

There can be no taboo adjectives and nouns if there is to be free discussion, the prerequisite of a free society. Nowadays media is chock-full of articles and opinions about "Arab terrorists," and even "Islamo-Fascists." Accordingly, it should also be possible to occasionally find material about "Jewish Zionists," and even "Zio-Nazis" -- unless Mr. Topham is right in his opinion that Zionists control our media and political discourse.

"Anti-Semitism" seems to have become a charge that stops all debate, much as the charge of "Communism" did not so very long ago. "Anti-Semite" is a term that is correctly used to describe anyone who hates the Jews, but now it is being incorrectly used to describe anyone whom the Jews hate. This Orwellian obscurantism and Big Brother bullying must stop. History has shown us that the only form of of thought crime that endangers a free people is censorship.
