LOS ANGELES (Apr 10, 1996 11:00 a.m. EDT) --
Marlon Brando apologized for anti-Semitic comments about Jews
in Hollywood and plans to make a public statement at the Museum
of Tolerance, a rabbi said.
Brando called the center and "expressed
his remorse," Rabbi Marvin Hier said Tuesday. Brando will
"make a public statement regarding this matter" Friday
at the Simon Wiesenthal Center's museum, Hier said.
The 72-year-old Brando was harshly criticized
by Jewish groups after remarks last week in an interview on CNN's
"Larry King Live."
"Hollywood is run by Jews. It is owned
by Jews and they should have a greater sensitivity about the issue
of people who are suffering," Brando said.
"He told me he was an early supporter
of Israel," said Hier. "I told him, 'Marlon, I never
thought you were an anti-Semite, but the words you used on Larry
King was music to the ears of racists and bigots all over the
world."'
The reclusive star of "The Godfather"
and "A Streetcar Named Desire" mentioned on the show
the various stereotypes that he said were depicted in films.
"We've seen the nigger, and the greaseball.
We've seen the chink. We've seen the slit-eyed dangerous Jap.
We have seen the wily Filipino. We've seen everything. But we
never saw the kike because they knew perfectly well that that's
where you draw the wagons around," Brando said.
"I think it's a good thing but I'm not
sure it goes far enough," Abraham H. Foxman, director of
the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, said of Brando's planned
visit.
"He's not a kid going to a museum. He's
an adult who's had these views for 25 years," Foxman said
from his New York office.
"If he really has remorse, he ought to
go see his friend Larry King and tell everyone on the air,"
he added.
Brando's Friday news conference at the Museum
of Tolerance will accomplish the goal of reaching a world audience,
Hier said.
ADL - A History
of Disinformation and Intimidation

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL), which describes itself as
a civil rights organization, has been in the forefront of an ongoing
attempt to label legitimate American-Arab and American-Muslim
charitable, political, and informational organizations as fronts
for terrorism. This attempt is part of a long-standing ADL policy
of discrediting any individual or organization opposed to Israel
or supportive of Palestinian rights. The ADL's strong political
loyalty to Israel as well as its acknowledged ties to Israel's
external intelligence agency in addition to its past practices
of spreading disinformation and intimidating those who have spoken
out against Israeli policies should however serve as a warning
about the ADL and the nature of its claims.
When the ADL was founded in 1913 it defined its mission as
opposing the defamation of the Jewish people. Over the years,
the organization won respect for its active support of civil rights
and its opposition to segregation and white supremacist groups.
However after the founding of the State of Israel and the 1967
Middle East War, the ADL significantly altered the way it defined
its mission. In a 1974 ADL publication entitled "The New
Anti-Semitism," then-ADL National Director Benjamin Epstein
argued that any "criticism of Israel reflects insensitivity
to American Jews and constitutes a form of anti-Semitism."
This change in the way it defined its mission meant that the ADL
would no longer be engaged in merely civil rights work but would
rather take on a very strong political stance in defense of Israel.
The main goal of the ADL became to counteract any criticism of
Israel and to promote Israel's interests regardless of other considerations.
Throughout the 1970's and 1980's, for example, the ADL was in
the forefront of an effort to keep documents underscoring Israel's
sinking of an American naval ship confidential. Such efforts cannot
be understood in the context of the ADL's former civil rights
agenda. Similarly, in November, 1994, ADL's Executive Director
Abraham Foxman personally appealed to President Bill Clinton to
commute the prison sentence of Jonathan Pollard, an intelligence
analyst for the U.S. Navy who sold what the New York Times described
as "suitcases full of military intelligence" to Israel.
Foxman's appeal to President Clinton can only be understood in
light of the ADL's new mission of promoting Israeli interests.
The fact that the ADL has become a pro-Israel interest group
is, of course, not in itself problematic. The entire United States
political system is based on the freedom of interest groups to
compete with others in promoting their often conflicting agendas.
However the ADL has overstepped the bounds of legitimacy on a
number of levels. The organization has engaged in illegal domestic
spying activities, has worked with foreign intelligence agencies
to undermine the rights and endanger the lives of American citizens,
has undertaken disinformation campaigns slandering and intimidating
numerous academicians, politicians, journalists, church officials,
and Arab-Americans.
ADL's transgressions were most notably exposed in January 1993
when San Francisco newspapers broke the story of ADL's extensive
domestic spying network. The San Francisco Police Department discovered
that under the cover of fighting anti-Semitism, the ADL had gathered
and sold to intelligence agents of the Israeli and South African
governments information on thousands of American individuals and
groups. In addition to nearly all Arab American organizations,
those whom the ADL targeted included House Armed Services Committee
Chairman Ron Dellums, former Congressman Pete McCloskey, Los Angeles
Times correspondent Scott Kraft, the board of directors of public
television station KQED, the Rainbow Coalition, a number of labor
unions, Greenpeace, as well as numerous other journalists, professors,
members of Congress, and activists who the ADL suspected had "anti-Israel"
leanings. The information which the San Francisco police department
confiscated from the ADL offices included illegally obtained confidential
police material. The manner by which the ADL obtained such information
as well as the fact that they sold it to foreign governments are
both felonies.
The ADL's ties to the Mossad, Israel's external intelligence
agency, had been known even before the scandal broke out in 1993.
During the court proceedings concerning a 1970 lawsuit against
the ADL, an internal letter was disclosed in which ADL's Epstein
bragged about the close intelligence relations between the ADL
and Israel. Furthermore, in his 1988 autobiography, ADL general
counsel Arnold Forster described the close connections between
the ADL and the Mossad. The Mossad connection is especially disturbing
because of the Israeli intelligence agency's long record of engaging
in political assassinations of opponents of Israel throughout
the world.
Like the Mossad, the ADL has not been content with just gathering
information on those who have spoken out against Israel or in
favor of Palestinian rights. The ADL has also actively engaged
in discrediting them through disinformation campaigns which are
aimed at both distorting the records and intimidating those opposed
to Israel. While in the 1970's and 1980's, the ADL often falsely
labeled such individuals as being connected to the PLO or in the
pay of Arab Gulf states, since the 1990's, the ADL has begun labeling
them as being connected to Islamic terrorist organizations. The
ADL's allegations, while couched in a matter-of-fact style, nearly
always falls far short of providing any real evidence. However
such allegations have had far-reaching effects. After the ADL
accused seven Palestinians and a Kenyan woman in California with
ties to a PLO terrorist group, for example, the eight individuals
were arrested and deportation proceedings were begun. When it
was later discovered that no real evidence existed against the
eight individuals except for the fact that they had distributed
anti-Israeli magazines, the media sharply criticized the government.
One of its first salvos in the disinformation war was its 1975
report entitled "Target U.S.A.: The Arab Propaganda Offensive,"
in which the ADL distorted the images of nearly all mainstream
Arab-American groups. The ADL followed up that report with its
most controversial book of all: Pro-Arab Propaganda: Vehicles
and Voices, an enemies list of 31 organizations and 34 individuals
which was published in 1983 and was largely aimed at countering
opposition to Israel from University professors and student organizations.
The publication intentionally takes statements of those on the
list out of context, accuses them of Anti-Semitism, and falsely
accuses a number of academic scholars of being part of a PLO support
network or of having been paid by Gulf Arab countries. The report
calls upon Jewish leaders in Universities throughout the country
to boycott and intimidate those appearing on the list. Those who
appeared on the list later found themselves ostracized by the
academic community with some losing their jobs or denied promotions.
S.C. Whittaker, the former chairman of the Political Science Department
at Rutgers University admitted, for example, that political reasons,
rather than academic ones, prevented Dr. Eqbal Ahmad from obtaining
a regular teaching appointment after his name appeared on the
ADL list. Dr. Noam Chomsky, who also appeared on the list, says
that since the book was published, protesters have appeared at
every one of his speaking engagements and have distributed distorted
ADL reports containing fabricated quotes that he was alleged to
have made in an attempt to intimidate him and his listeners. On
Nov. 30, 1984, the Middle East Studies Association passed a resolution
protesting the "creation, storage, or dissemination of blacklists,
enemy lists" or surveys that call for boycotting individuals
or intimidating scholars. Similar intimidation campaigns have
been waged by the ADL against reporters and journalists who have
criticized Israel.
Throughout the 1980's, the ADL also accused liberal church
officials, church groups, and religious organizations which called
for peace and justice for all in the Middle East as being connected
to the PLO. The Reverend Don Wagner and the Presbyterian Church
had especially been accused by the ADL of having connections to
the PLO, though no evidence was ever presented backing up such
contentions. On the other hand, after a 1994 report on the religious
right, the ADL was accused by religious conservatives of going
after people for their political views and of taking numerous
quotes of religious leaders out of context. Also on May 25, 1994,
the ADL's Jerusalem office released a sensationalist story which
appeared the next day in the New York Times and other newspapers
which alleged that the Vatican had admitted to being responsible
for the Holocaust. The Vatican later totally denied the story.
The ADL's blatant misrepresentation of facts was sharply criticized.
The ADL's credibility has been severely shaken by its long
record of disinformation. While the ADL has every right to continue
advocating pro-Israel policies, its real agenda should be exposed
and it must be made to end the illegal spying, harassment, and
intimidation of political opponents. More importantly, U.S. law
enforcement agencies, the media, and political circles need to
see the ADL for what it is: a pro-Israel group more than ready
to distort the truth to further the Israeli agenda. While in retrospect,
it now seems very clear that the ADL's wild allegations against
alleged PLO support networks in the 1980's were baseless, it must
be remembered that at the time they were seen as credible and
led many people to lose their jobs and others to be imprisoned.
The ADL's current crusade against alleged Islamic terrorist networks
is almost identical to its earlier one against so-called ties
to the PLO. Both campaigns are based on general stereotypes and
fears and are devoid of evidence and fact. To repeat such allegations
without further investigating them, as some in the media have
done, is unprofessional and unethical. To act upon them, as some
law-makers and law-enforcement agencies have done, is dangerous
and threatens the freedoms and civil liberties Americans have
grown to expect.
