Please forward widely The Institute for Historical Review, founded by the racist anti-Jewish Willis Carto, a Hitler sympathizer, and now run by Mark Weber, a "former" member of the neo-nazi National Alliance, has called a demonstration for Friday July 29 at noon outside the offices of the Simon Wiesenthal Center. This is their second recent LA demonstration. In February, on short notice, they pulled off a rally outside the Canadian consulate to support another Hitler apologist, Ernst Zundel, who was being deported from Canada for his illegal activities there. We cannot allow these forces to take the streets in Los Angeles without opposition. Their true nature must be exposed and denounced. They claim their action is motivated by opposition to taxpayer support for the Wiesenthal Center, and the Center's support for war and for Israel. But the fact is that groups like the National Alliance from which IHR leader Weber hails, openly declare that they want to "prove" Hitler's genocide against the Jews never happened, so they can justify war by any and all means against Jews for falsely claiming to be victims of genocide! They hold Jews responsible for what they consider "race mixing," and use them as scapegoats for all the conditions and policies they oppose, ranging from environmental protection to immigration, to civil and human rights. It is not necessary to agree with or defend the political positions of the Wiesenthal Center to denounce and oppose Weber and the IHR.
Anti-Racist Action is calling for a protest and vigil STARTING AT 11:00 AM outside the Simon Wiesenthal Center, 1399 South Roxbury Drive, Los Angeles, on the corner of Pico Boulevard, diagonally opposite the " Museum of Tolerance." This is one hour before the apologists for fascism and genocide have scheduled their rally at the same location. It is vital for all opponents of racism and fascism in all its forms, to come and reclaim the streets. A massive oppositional turnout will make it clear that neo-nazis and their supporters have no welcome and no place in Los Angeles. ARA is an anti-authoritarian direct action anti-racist, anti-fascist and anti-imperialist group, and we see our opposition to nazis as absolutely consistent with our opposition to war, police abuse, and occupation (including the Israeli occupation). Don't be hoodwinked by the IHR. Back in 1992, the IHR (Weber in particular) participated in a "revisionist" conference in LA that included local neo-nazi Joe Fields and his apartheid-loving Afrikaner wife, along with a variety of other racists and former Hitler collaborationists from Eastern Europe. The community drove them out then (resulting in a police attack on the Black community of south central that helped light the fires of the LA rebellion). Let's make it clear that the nazis will receive just as hot a welcome in West LA as they did in south central!
