An attack on the State of Israel bond issue was made here by Luigi Criscuolo, publisher of the newsletter. “The Rubicon,” and formerly an ardent apoligist for the Mussolini regime.

Commenting on advertisements of the Israel bond issue, Criscuolo says that “by no stretch of the imagination can it be considered that the present State of Israel is a continuation of the ancient Hebrew Kingdoms of Judea or Israel, because of the fact that with the conquest of Judea by the Roman Emperor Tituts Vespasian, that kingdom became extinct.” He called the bond drive advertisements” a presumptuous boast of a people who fraudulently claim to be the ‘Chosen People’ of God Almighty.”

Criscuolo says that he sent his complaint to the Securities Exchange Commission and says that the fact that no acknowledgment was received “shows the extent of the power of the Jewish Gestapo in this country, that it rules our government and our officials so that any criticism that any citizen makes is ignored.”
