The B’nai B’rith Anti-Defamation Commission (ADC), Australia’s leading organisation fighting anti-Semitism and hatred in all its forms, has called on Senator Malcolm Roberts to reject the writings of notorious anti-Semite and Holocaust denier Eustace Mullins. In a booklet on climate change which he authored, Senator Roberts cites the book Secrets of the Federal Reserve and has refused to disassociate himself from that text.
ADC Chairman, Dr Dvir Abramovich, issued the following statement:
“I am profoundly disappointed that Senator Roberts refuses to disassociate himself from the writings of Eustace Mullins, a vitriolic anti-Semite and white-Supremacist, who called Jews parasites, baby-killers and blood-drinkers, and who praised Hitler. For more than 40 years, Mullins peddled his dangerous and ugly rhetoric, speaking in Aryan and Neo-Nazi meetings, and claiming that “The Federal Reserve Bank is really just the high Jewish bank”. His texts, tarred with his vile racism, in which he espoused his despicable hatemongering and incitement, international Jewish banking conspiracies and frightening prejudice, should never be cited or used in any debate or discussion. We call on Senator Roberts to openly repudiate Mullins’ bigoted views which are beyond the pale, and to strongly disassociate himself from the extremists writings of this man, including Secrets of the Federal Reserve, which were a natural extension of his warped worldview, and which only debase public discourse around an important issue.”
The Anti-Defamation Commission, founded in 1979, is Australia’s leading civil rights organization fighting racism through educational programs that combat bigotry, prejudice and all forms of hatred.
