This is what I wrote in response to Sune Nordwall, a Swedish Anthroposophist:

Dear critics,

I guess Sune Nordwall has not read my four long articles in Dutch on the
use of antisemitic stereotypes by the Dutch conspiracist Peter Edel
(who, by the way is very much opposed to Anthroposophy). So it is a
mystery to me on what exactly Nordwall's view is based. After all, he
wrote: "Zegers also thinks that not only the views of Peter Edel [not a
Jew] and Israel Shahak, but also of Noam Chomsky are expressions of
Jewish self hatred [I never used this word] and that Shahak has misused
the Rabbinic literature as a foundation of his criticism of Zionism." He
even gets elementary facts the wrong way. I don't see what my criticism
of Edel and Shahak (I didn't criticize Chomsky) has to do with my
criticism of Steiner. Or maybe he just wants to discredit me by alleging
that I see every person as an antisemites (Nordwall writes: "Mr. Zegers,
you need not see enemies of Jews and Jewry everywhere"). I never said
such a thing, I have always been very specific.

In one of his articles Peter Edel wrote that he got a note from Noam
Chomsky. When I asked Chomksy to authenticate the letter, he wasn't able
to do so. He wasn't sure if it was he who wrote it or not, but he was
sure he hadn't given permission to Edel to publish any of his letters
(speaking of integrity). If Chomsky did write this letter, it is strange
that he didn't contact me (he obviously had to rely on Edel for
information if he wrote the letter since he doesn't read Dutch).
"Chomsky" wrote: "few people have the deep knowledge of the Rabbinic
literature that would be required to have any judgment on the matter."
Neither Shahak nor Chomsky are trained talmudists, so this judgement
includes them as well.

It is very strange that allthough Nordwall and Dottie don't read Dutch,
they are absolutely certain that Peter Edel is right. Edel is convinced
that the Zionists helped Hitler to power and actually planned the
Holocaust in order to get their state of Israel. He was sued some years
ago by a Dutch Jewish organization for upholding the accusation that the
Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith supports the Ku Klux Klan and the
Neonazis. He also said in this article from 1995 that the Nazis Alfred
Rosenberg (whom he called Albert), Richard Heydrich and Adolf Hitler
were of Jewish descent. He was acquitted because the judge ruled that
Edel was speaking about the American branch and not the Dutch branch of
B'nai B'rith that sued him. For those of you who are interested in this
whole affair, you can find Edel's and my articles at:
http://www.stelling.nl/kleintje (Dutch). My first article appeared in
November 2000. The others in February, March and April 2001.

I have been working on Israel Shahak's book "Jewish History, Jewish
Religion" for over a year now. I am still busy researching Shahak's
accusations against the Talmud and the Kaballah. In due time I will
return to this topic. For now I only want to mention that his book has
been published by extreme right wing antisemites in Italy, France,
Sweden and Germany. You can also find his book at the website of Radio
Islam, an antisemitic organization that also offers the Protocols of the
elders of Zion and wants to outlaw the Old Testament (like some Nazis).

Best,

Peter Zegers

And:

Dear critics,

One more remark on Shahak. Nordwall seems to think that the discussion
is about the issue that "Shahak has misused the Rabbinic literature as a
foundation of his criticism of Zionism." Nordwall is dead wrong as
usual. The issue is that Israel Shahak argues that Judaism (Talmud) and
the Jewish tradition as such are racist/xenophobic. This, of course has
a long history in European history. He gives some quotes from the Talmud
to prove his point of view. This also has a long history, dating back to
the eightteenth century. Some of the same quotes he gives have been used
by notorious antisemites. To give just one name in this long list: the
catholic priest August Rohling (1839-1931), writer of the infamous
"Talmudjude" [Talmudjew] (1871). Rohling's work was continued by Theodor
Fritsch (Hammer Verlag, a notorious antisemitic publishing house) and
Julius Streicher (editor of "Der Stürmer", the extreme antisemitic paper
and executed as a war criminal in 1946). Maybe it is of interest for
Nordwall to know that Lars Adelskogh translated Shahak's book into
Swedish. Adelskogh is an extreme antisemite in Sweden and leader of a
Theosophic cult.

Best,

Peter Zegers
