A leading organ of the Negro black power extremist movement, a monthly known as The Liberator, has published an attack on American Jewish groups written by Dr. Norton Mezvinsky, executive director of the anti-Zionist American Council for Judaism. The Mezvinsky article was accompanied by atrocity photographs purporting to depict alleged Arab victims of “Israel’s napalm bombing” and Arab refugees fleeing Israeli-held territory.
Dr. Mezvinsky wrote in the black power publication that his group noted “with concern the propaganda activities of an organization which calls itself the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations.” Assailing this group of Jewish leaders, the anti-Zionist charged that “it is a Zionist-inspired and controlled amalgam of the presidents of some organizations of American Jews, Most of these organizations have been chartered for purposes other than such direct political action in the interests of another country.”
The same issue of The Liberator lauded the black power revolution and such undertakings as “parliamentary training for Negro youths,” “a nation-wide buy black movement,” and “a black national holiday to honor such heroes as Malcolm X.”
