Help Jewish FundS for Justice Support MoveOn.org

I received the email below from an organization, and an individual, I trust. No matter how your politics lean, it’s important to speak up against this attempt to manipulate the Jewish community for partisan ends.
And for what it’s worth, I’ve actually communicated with MoveOn.org about Jewish issues (for example, asking them to schedule alternative volunteer events during non-Shabbat time), and they’ve been nothing but accomodating and pleasant.

Dear Friends,
Opponents of MoveOn.org have launched a concerted campaign to smear the progressive online movement with false charges of antisemitism. Today, we say enough!
When the staff at MoveOn.org learned that antisemitic comments had been made on its open forum, they acted swiftly to remove the offensive remarks. The Anti-Defamation League praised their response, declaring themselves “satisfied with [MoveOn’s] responsiveness” and characterizing the matter as having been “resolved satisfactorily.”
Yet this politicization of antisemitism has continued unabated, with charges migrating from The Washington Times to the Wall Street Journal to the Jewish press, repeated ad nauseam on the internet. Join us and stand up to those elements in our country who would politicize antisemitism in service of an agenda antithetical to our community’s values.
Sign this petition today!
“As American Jews, we condemn the manipulation of fear of antisemitism for political gain, including the recent campaign against the online movement MoveOn.org. We stand for the Jewish value of placing hope over fear by expanding opportunity and creating justice for all Americans.”
Click here to sign this petition.
MoveOn.org is a progressive movement that represents many core Jewish values, including hope (tikvah), courage (ometz), community (kehilah), and dignity ( tzelem elohim). Many of its Jewish members and staff are undoubtedly motivated to act by their desire to repair the world (tikkun olam) through righteous action (tzedekah) and acts of loving-kindness ( gemilut hasadim).
We cannot allow these attacks to go unanswered by the Jewish community, which is rightfully concerned when charges of antisemitism are leveled but equally concerned when false accusations of antisemitism are used for partisan purposes.
Make sure your voice is heard.
Click here to sign our petition.
For the past two months, Jews across the country have been exposed to lies about MoveOn.org. We need your support to make sure hundreds of thousands of Jews can see the statement in advertisements placed in Jewish newspapers.
Click here to make a contribution to this effort. Don’t let this politicization of antisemitism go unanswered.

  1. I, William Levinson, am one of the people who exposed MoveOn.org’s welcoming of racist, anti-Semitic, and anti-Catholic hate speech at its Action Forum until the widening scandal forced MoveOn to shut the forum down in late September. It is my intention to spread the word as widely as possible, demolish the credibility of this organization, and send it to the ash heap of history where it belongs (to join the Million Mom March, which I was largely responsible for putting down in 2000).
    MoveOn’s statement, “When the staff at MoveOn.org learned that antisemitic comments had been made on its open forum, they acted swiftly to remove the offensive remarks” is not accurate. It is a matter of record that MoveOn.org was exercising editorial control over the forum, as shown by its censorship of civil but critical material that I and others posted. I also have a letter to MoveOn that a friend sent on April 1 2004 that told it about the hate speech. MoveOn.org’s exercise of editorial control over the Action Forum makes it 100 percent responsible for the hate speech it saw but allowed to stand.’
    As for deleting the hate speech, well, MoveOn did delete a few items like the “Jew Lieberman” slur. However, every single example I have posted at http://www.stentorian.com/MoveOn/sideshow1.html was harvested from the Action Forum more than two weeks after Eli Pariser issued his press release.
    I regard the ADL’s acceptance of MoveOn.org’s “damage control” (to put it politely) as enablement of anti-Semitic and anti-Catholic hate speech, thus diminishing ADL’s effectiveness in its stated role.
    You will also shortly see my response to this article and your petition at IsraPundit, NetWMD, and other forums. You will not accuse me of “manipulation of fear of antisemitism for political gain” without getting a rapid, unambiguous, and decisive answer just as the ADL did (http://www.israpundit.com/2006/?p=2813).

  2. Here are the facts about MoveOn.Org:
    1. They monitor the forum. At least as far back as 2004, MoveOn tolerated anti-Semitic remarks. They removed my messages disputing the anti-Semitism (Jews have too much power, control the media, have dual loyalties, are loyal to Israel, over-represented in Congress and so on). They did not remove the anti-Semitic remarks.
    2. They kicked me off the forum because I defended Israel and fought back against the anti-Semitism. They removed others who took the same position. The anti-Semites were allowed to remains.
    3. Eli Pariser’s letter to the ADL is a lie. I can document that I told MoveOn.Org about the situation on April 1, 2004.
    It is legitimate to show this about MoveOn, particularly when they are financially supporting candidates like Ned Lamont against “Jew Lieberman” (to use a highly approved message on the forum).
    Only Jew haters and Israel haters should sign this petition.
    I am well aware that Noah T. Winer, Eli Parisar and George Soros are nominally Jews. However, they did not stop the anti-Semitism in the Forum until it was brought to public attention and they had no choice.
    Please note that I am not a troll. I am giving you my first hand experience and I ahve the docuemtnation to prove it.

  3. I am the person who brought the MoveOn anti-Semitism to the public. I am not manipulating a fear of anti-Semitism when I expose anti-Semitism. I am doing exactly what the ADL did, except they fell for Pariser’s misrepresentation and outright lies.
    I have no way to know the inner motivation of people like Noah T. Winer, Eli Pariser, George Soros, Noam Chomsky, or Uri Avnery. It can be humanitarian, it can be financial. How an I possibly know? I can only know what my motivation is.
    It is to preserve the Jewish people and to make us safe.
    Creating justice for ALL Americans including us Jews. Tolerating anti-Semitism on a supposedly humanitarian forum is not creating Justice. It is creating hatred. It lends credence to the anti-Semites and hides the voices of those of us who protest.
    Why are you manipulating anti-Semitism to support the anti-Semites?

  4. Wait for the phone call from the IRS… JFS is a c(3) which is mostly forbidden to engage in partisan political activity (although it may weigh in on issues.) MoveOn is a partisan organization. Uh oh….

  5. “No matter how your politics lean, it’s important to speak up against this attempt to manipulate the Jewish community for partisan ends. ”

    “MoveOn.org is a progressive movement that represents many core Jewish values, including hope (tikvah), courage (ometz), community (kehilah), and dignity ( tzelem elohim). Many of its Jewish members and staff are undoubtedly motivated to act by their desire to repair the world (tikkun olam) through righteous action (tzedekah) and acts of loving-kindness ( gemilut hasadim).”
    Yep.

  6. the various sorts of remarks you but under thr heading of “anti-semitism” are quite different from eachother.
    1) Jews have too much power–this could, depending on context, be anti-semetic, and i presume people making this claim generally have bigotted agendas.
    2) control the media–same comment as with claim 1.
    3) have dual loyalties–everytime you group people according to ethnicity, country immigrated from, or a myriad of other factors, you will find other loyalities. jews absolutely have shared loyalties. that’s not necessarily a bad thing. discussing this issue is not anti-semetic. not is saying that cubans in florida have a heightened level of interest in Castro-related policy. The word choice could be problematic as could selective discussion of jews.
    4) are loyal to Israel–many jews support problematic Israeli policies. many do not. Israel is clearly much higher on the Jewish communal agenda then it is on any other religious, ethnic, or other sort of community’s agenda. We spend an awful lot of money on “pro-israel advocacy”. That fact may be embarassing or not, depending on background, but it is a reasonable topic.
    5) over-represented in Congress and so on–there is a troubling lack of equal representation in the US congress. Though African Americans make up more than 10% of the US population you could count on one hand the number of Blacks elected to the Senate since reconstruction. Anyone who is interested in racism, bias, and the things you seem to care about should be worried about this lack of representation. Jews are overrepresented by a factor of roughly 5. I am not suggesting that we should replace jews with blacks for the hell of it, just that this is not an anti-semetic comment.
    When you have open forums you get some crap. you also get some great stuff. Nothing about MoveOn.org has ever shown me that they are anti-semetic aside from these crazed accusations of some icky people posting in their open forum. And btw, Noah is a friend of a friend, and is no “marginal” jew. he is a good guy and a mensch.

  7. zt, here is what your “mensch” friend Noah Winer posted in an official MoveOn.org bulletin.
    http://www.moveon.org/moveonbulletin/bulletin13.html#8
    “This essay describes many of the familiar neo-conservatives as having “dual loyalties,” making policy decisions in the interests of the State of Israel as much as the United States.
    http://www.counterpunch.org/christison1213.html” (and the Counterpunch article is even worse)
    I am in fact citing this, along with MoveOn’s anti-Catholic cartoon, as evidence that MoveOn.org’s leaders at least tacitly support hate speech toward Jews and Catholics.
    Re: “When you have open forums you get some crap. you also get some great stuff. ” We have already established as a proven fact that MoveOn.org’s Action Forum is not an open forum, it is subject to editorial control and apparently has been since at least 1 April 2004. That means the “crap” is there only because MoveOn.org’s moderators chose to let it stay there, and it stinks to high heaven whether directed at Jews, Catholics, evangelical Christians, African-Americans, or even the Bush Administration when it comes to blood libels that accuse the government of blowing up the World Trade Center with missiles on 9/11 or conspiring with the Al Qaida terrorists to do so.

  8. t is legitimate to show this about MoveOn, particularly when they are financially supporting candidates like Ned Lamont against “Jew Lieberman”
    Is supporting non-Jewish candidates over Jewish candidates a warning sign of anti-Semitism?
    Can the Feingold ’08 campaign count on your support?

  9. zT is not correct.
    MoveOn.Org’s forum was not open. If it was, I would not have been kicked off while the anti-Semitic posts remained.
    You say that Jews are over-represented in Congress is shaded with anti-Semitism. The Constitution provides for the popular election of congressman and says there shall be no religious tests. the only way you can reduce the number of Jews and increase the number of Blacks in congress would be to institute racial and religious tests. It also means that some people would not be able to vote for the candidate of their choice because he/she is a Jew.
    Many of us would say that we don’t spend enough money on Israel and that the problematic problems are pretending that Palestinian terrorism is different than other terrorism. that is why the Constitution allows all of us to petition (lobby) the government.
    The majority of Americans seem to approve of these policies by voting for pro-Israel candidates and ousting the Cynthia McKinney’s and Paul Findley’s from Congress.
    Make no mistake: MoveOn.Org has every right to be whatever they want to be. They do not have a right to lie about it,t hough. When MoveOn pretends to be against anti-Semitism in the forum, they are lying.

  10. thanks rav for bringing this to our attention. mik moore is an important macher who does well to bring these important issues to the public. moveon is a crucial organization for all americans at this time and the jewish community who cares about seeing real political change can do well to lend our support.

  11. If you’re so against racism, I also imagine you’re going to speak out about anti-Arab rhetoric that happens both here and on other Jewish boards around the net, right?
    This smear campaign is a hack job that mostly shows how afraid of MoveOn the conservative political establishment is. They’re using you, just like they use Israel to try to convince you that they are on your side. Just like they’re even using the rest of the religious for their pro business pro rich people agenda. These conservatives do not give a shit about us. If they did, they’d be focusing on a lot of things much higher on the list that a couple of bulletin board posters on an internet community, things like figuring out how to get off oil so US foreign policy isn’t beholden to oil rich countries.

  12. OMG. The right-wing fear factor never feels shame for its tactics.
    Moveon.org is not anti-semitic. Yes, there are some crazy people who will use an open forum to spew anti-semitic remarks. There are also some ignorant folk who wrongfully think that the tail (Israel) wags the dog (US), though it is the inverse. Witness Bibi summoned to meet with Rummy and the Dick in early June. Witness birth fangs Rice announcing in Israel there would be no cease-fire, until the WH said it was time. Witness idiot-boy Bush threatening to withdrawal US financial support to Israel were Olmert to unilaterally withdrawal from the West Bank.
    Were most of the media not an orwelllian propaganda machine, the fools who think Israel controls the US would think differently. Imagine — ha! — if Lamont had not said, “I stand with Israel,” at the beginning of the war with Lebanon, but had said, “I stand with Tikkun, its call for an immediate cease-fire, immediate recognition of Israel by all Arab/Palestinian parties, and a Marshall Plan for economic development of Israel and Palestine;” how many ignorant fools would have made anti-semitic remarks over THAT?
    Wm. Levinson is a rightwinger. His Stetorian is right-wing media. Of course he’s going to scream anti-semitic at every opportunity he can create. Google both, and you find attacks on the ISM, which is not anti-semitic (my naive friends of the Anarchists Against the Wall did not know that the ‘mainstream’ media calls the ISM ‘terrorists;’ they thought that only came from Fux News and related sources). How did the Million Mom March — against gun violence involving children — come to be called ‘anti-semitic?’
    As for what motivates Uri Avnery (former member of the Irgun, for those who don’t know this about him), why not read his essays? He’s a sublimely prolific writer…and a tzedik.

  13. oh please! these folks rallies, online forums, etc are rampant with Jew-bashing! it is not a smear-campaign. Jew-bashing is lefty-chique! how about holding them responsible for their behavior.

    I guess you didn’t see Lee Kaplan’s photos of “peaceful” ISM members brandishing assault rifles, or Huwaida Arraf’s statement in a letter to the editor that her organization (ISM) has met with actual Hamas terrorists. (Hamas are terrorists by U.S. State Department definition.) There is also plenty of evidence that ISM interferes with Israeli security and law enforcement activities, and gives safe house protection to actual terrorists.
    “How did the Million Mom March — against gun violence involving children — come to be called ‘anti-semitic?’”
    I NEVER called the Million Mom March anti-Semitic. I did call their leaders lying manipulators who solicited money and volunteer time under false pretenses while using 501(c)(3) tax-exempt money to support political campaigns. If those statements had not been true, the Million Mom March would not have collapsed as it did. My mere dislike of an organization cannot make it turn to dust like a vampire in sunlight but, if the organization is indeed guilty, it will disintegrate when its activities are exposed to the light of day. That is what happened to the Million Moms and that is what is now happening to MoveOn.org.
    The “open forum” defense has already been demolished thoroughly. MoveOn knowingly and willfully welcomed the hate speech.

  15. My mere dislike of an organization cannot make it turn to dust like a vampire in sunlight but, if the organization is indeed guilty, it will disintegrate when its activities are exposed to the light of day.
    Oh, so that’s what you call your foul dissemination of lies and twisted half-truths about organizations whose politics you disagree with? Fascinating. Please do us all a favor and go spew your hate and distortions on someone else’s blog.

  16. “MoveOn knowingly and willfully welcomed the hate speech.”
    Sounds like Indymedia. They’ve had similar problems since the terrorist attacks on Sep 11, 2001 if not before. Anti-Semites post there all the time and the material stays up. But when a Zionist posts a comment it gets removed. So much for dialogue and free speech.
    Uri Avnery a “tzedik”? Yeah, sure. Avnery is a hack like David Horowitz only from the other side of the ideological spectrum. Both originated at one extreme, found “the truth” and migrated to the opposite extreme. They never tire of promoting their tired brands of “journalism” which is simply ideological polemic. It’s no surprise that he writes for that vile anti-Semitic rag “Counterpunch” which is simply a mirror image of Horrowitz’ inane “Front Page.”

  17. Fed Up wrote, “Oh, so that’s what you call your foul dissemination of lies and twisted half-truths about organizations whose politics you disagree with?”
    Lies and twisted half-truths do not destroy organizations the way the Million Mom March was destroyed in 2000-2001. Do you think I could have brought down an organization ten thousand times my size in terms of financial resources (dollars expended) with anything but the truth?
    Lies and half-truths did not compel MoveOn.org to take its Action Forum down on September 8 with a statement that implied it was a liability, and again on September 24 after an effort to rally and stand. When they put the forum back online on September 10 (after I called its inactivation the equivalent of a headlong battlefield rout), I said it would not stand and it didn’t. Despite its millions of dollars in funding, MoveOn.org had to run like a rabbit from a handful of people who spent almost no money at all. Only the truth has that kind of effect.
    Do you really think someone disables part of his Web site “to save bandwidth” six weeks before an election they are trying to influence? MoveOn shut it down because the stench could be smelled from one end of the country to the other, and people like me were digging out more hate-filled sewage on a daily basis.

  18. I am reporting what happened in the MoveOn.org forum. I documented it. I am not making it up. Neither is Bill Levinson.
    Anyone who wants to contact me can do so at [email protected].
    J says MoveOn is a progressive movement. Please explain how a progressive movement tolerates racism and punishes those of us who tried to stop it. Or, is racism only things that are done to Blacks, Illegal Aliens and Muslims? Jews aren’t subject to racism any more?

    MoveOn.org is not anti-semitic. Yes, there are some crazy people who will use an open forum to spew anti-semitic remarks.
    Miriam: The MoveOn forum isn’t and wasn’t open. You have to be approved to post (not to read). They kick people off if they don’t like he messages. They kicked me off when I defended Jews, Judaism and Israel. The anti-Semites and Israel-bashers were allowed to stay.
    It is delusional to think that it is open and they have no control. Anyone can Post anything and MoveOn removes anything they want.
    Fed UP: Nothing Levinson or I posted about MoveOn.Org is a lie. It is all documented including messages on the forum and an E-Mail form me to MoveOn.Org.

  19. I have wrestled mightily in the past few years regarding the issue of MoveOn.org. In the buildup to the Iraq war, I joined and donated to MoveOn, even though the postings on the forum were often farther to the left than I am, because I supported the cause and because I felt there was dialogue. Several incidents changed my mind and compelled me to sever my relationship with MoveOn. All of the incidents involved troubling and incomplete information, and all caused me to struggle with the apparently inherent anti-Israel bent of the left side of the political spectrum. The central question for me became: “Should I stay and try to shift the discussion, or is my activism better spent elsewhere?” I felt it became futile, and I left.
    MoveOn circulated two informational bulletins in the spring of 2003 that, frankly, incensed me. One, on “Project for the New American Century” included a section titled “Pax Israelica” which featured articles on the “neo-con cabal” ostensibly running the US government. One, written by the Christisons and published in Counterpunch, included a phrase about their joking that Congress was “Israeli-controlled territory”. This article argued that Jews not only have dual loyalties but were orchestrating the war against Iraq at the behest of and to benefit Israel.
    I expect to find articles like this on white supremacist websites, not in a mailing from a grassroots peace and democracy organization, and I wrote to MoveOn repeatedly but never recieved any response. These bulletins were designed to help members understand issues and take action, but there was no counterpoint. To my mind, this is propaganda presented as fact. I have problems with that.
    A second bulletin, on the Road Map, stated that Ariel Sharon’s visit to the Temple Mount sparked the second intifada. This “fact” has been disputed. The bulletin also stated that the Camp David talks ended when Ehud Barak broke them off, without any mention of Arafat’s intransigence. In response to complaints about this bulletin, Noah Winer issued a response which included the following:
    “First, the bulletins do not represent MoveOn positions nor are they necessarily part of the campaigns MoveOn undertakes.”
    If that’s so, why circulate them in the first place? These bulletins went out under the imprimatur of MoveOn, yet MoveOn doesn’t endorse them? Huh?
    By this point, MoveOn had lost its credibility with me. But one other incident occurred, when MoveOn organized the vigils for Cindy Sheehan…without ever noting Sheehan’s comment that her son died for Israel. If I’m going to support someone, I want to know about statements like that. I despise stealth campaigns! If I”m going to support a cause I want to know where they stand and then I can decide for myself. As much as I wanted to stand with others against the war, I couldn’t, just couldn’t ally myself with Cindy Sheehan.
    Now, maybe none of these things trouble you. But they made it impossible for me to support MoveOn.

    hey bill — how did you destroy the million man march? got documentation on that?”
    Million MOM March, the anti-Second Amendment group that was a thinly-disguised campaign for Al Gore and other left-wing Democrats. I heard it was a George Soros project like MoveOn.org.
    The MMM’s fatal mistake involved endorsing political candidates on its Web site (and apparently planning to hold a rally for Gore, which is what its Mother’s Day event essentially was) while claiming a 501(c)(3) tax-exemption. I identified and exposed that with the help of a pro-2nd Amendment columnist. Given the fact that the MMM was supposed to turn out votes for Gore, and given the tiny margin in Florida, the columnist and I may have even been part of the chain of events that cost Gore the election. (Gore blew three or four other states all on his own.)
    What Jan Poller says is 100 percent correct and it matches my experience with the Action Forum.

  21. Sounds like Moveon.org forums are just like Daily Kos. . . . but we knew that . . . .
    “Is supporting non-Jewish candidates over Jewish candidates a warning sign of anti-Semitism?”
    Cmon BZ, that’s disingenuous. If you call your opponent “Jew Leiberman”, the issue isn’t the ethnic group of the candidate you support.

  22. Here are the documented facts:
    1. For years, there have been anti-Semitic posts on the MoveOn.Org forum.
    2. None of these posts were removed until they received national attention.
    3. Posts fighting the anti-Semitic posts were removed.
    4. Posters who fought the anti-Semitism were removed (that includes me) as far back as April 1, 2004.
    5. Eli Pariser lied when he wrote to the ADL and said that the MoveOn.Org forum was unmoderated (see above).
    I have not made any statements about other things where I did not save any documentation.
    I haven’t made any statements about the motives of MoveOn.Org.
    To bring the anti-Semitism to the attention of Jews and other people is not a cheap shot. It is not a smear. It is relevant to current affairs.
    People who are tempted to sign your petition have a right and obligation to know what has transpired.
    You have a right to make the claims that you do even though they do not reflect the actual events.
    You have not shown that me statements are false. All you have been able to do is challenge my motivation for releasing this information. My motivation does not change the facts.
    You want to support an organization that has demonstrated tolerance for anti-Semitism, go right ahead. I can’t explain your motivation for doing so – only you can.

  23. Bill,
    oh. i wouldve been more impressed if you’d scuttled the million man march.
    i’m wondering what you do for fun, bill. seems like you’ve always got your nose to the grindstone, fighting off the anti-Semitic hordes, y’know? it’s like the anti-Semites never rest, so you can’t. for fun, i read israpundit.

  24. I have been accused of smearing MoveOn.Org, which implies that what I have been reporting is a lie.
    I pointed out that MoveOn.Org monitors the forum while my detractors claim that it is an unmonitored forum. Eli Pariser, in his communications, claims that it is an unmonitored forum.
    Forum rules can be found at http://www.actionforum.com/general/faq.html .
    The MoveOn.Org rules confirm that Eli Pariser lied to you. The fact that MoveOn openly lies to you about things that are documented in MoveOn.Org’s own words should make you question the other things that MoveOn.Org preaches.
    Just in case MoveOn.Org removes or changes their rules, I have copied them to my own computer. They can’t disappear.
    I want to remind readers that comments challenging anti-Semitic comments were removed and I was locked out of the forum.
    Here are excerpts:
    Note: You can’t be anonymous, you must register
    What are the rules? Everyone is welcome to comment, and rate the comments of others. While you can change your ratings at anytime, you can only rate a comment once. You must abide by the terms of use.

    Note: MoveOn Monitors the Forum
    “How does MoveOn use ActionForum? MoveOn monitors the forum for input several times a day and uses the information to help set their agenda. Comments that are of immediate relevance are forwarded to the appropriate team member usually within hours. Comments of a more long term nature are compiled weekly in two summaries and passed to the team. Occasionally topic specific summaries are are compiled covering a period of a month or more.”
    “How can I make sure someone at MoveOn reads my post ? All comments are read at least twice. While there is no single criteria, comments that suggest a possible MoveOn action and are not duplicative are likely to be immediately passed on, or included in a summary to the whole MoveOn team. Ratings, while important, are not definitive and some comments with few or low ratings are included in the summaries. Important issues are sometimes followed up with a survey to a sampling of the membership compiled covering a period of a month or more.”
