Gerald L.K. Smith, notorious as the nation’s leading professional anti-Semite, testified before the United States Senate Foreign Relations Committee today against United Nations supporters.

“They have flooded our shores with spies, Communists, Zionists, and other of the ‘hate America’ ilk until today they have become serpents in our breast, exploiting our hospitality while gnawing at our vitals,” he declared.

Smith said U.N. supporters “used the power and influence of the United Nations to justify mongrelization and destroy the integrity and substance of our racial heritage.” He accused the same elements of exploiting American power and influence “to drive one million Arabs from their own homes into the desert where today they are dead or dying and where they languish in squalor, hunger and privation.”
