Black Panthers Anti-Semitism, El Fatah Links
Exposed in Study by American Jewish Committee
NEW YORK — The American
Jewish Committee charged that the
activities and statements of the
Black Panthers had been so con-
sistently anti-Zionist and anti-
Israel that it was almost impossi-
ble to make the distinction be-
tween that attitude and anti-
Semitism.
In a report issued by Seymour
Samet, director of its intergroup
relations and social action depart-
ment, the committee noted that
"for a variety of reasons, attacks
on Jews as Jews are no longer
politically effective in this coun-
try. In recent years the anti-Semite
has conveniently camouflaged his
purpose under a cover of anti-
Zionism."
The study, prepared by Milton
Ellerin, director of AJC's trends
analyses division, includes com-
pilations of public statements by
Panther functionaries, and edi-
torials and news stories in the
Black Panther, the party's official
publication, all of which indicate
the group's support of El Fatah
and the Arab guerillas, and op-
position to Israel and its support-
ers.
The report quotes Stokely
Carmichael, at that time a high
functionary of the Black Panther
Party, as telling the annual con-
vention of Arab Students at the
University of Michigan on Au-
gust 31, 1968 that "we will
fight to wipe it (Zionism) out
wherever it exists, be it in the
ghetto of the United States or
in the Middle East."
As far back as June 1967, the
report shows, Black Power printed
"an obscene anti-Semitic song en-
titled `Jew Land'." Since that
time, Panther publications and
leaders have "consistently and
vigorously supported El Fatah and
other guerilla movements," the
report declares.
