This section is a collection of the correspondence I receive.

For the record, I only publish the most vile/challenging/hilarious mail here. Rest assured, I also receive many supportive messages.

You’re an absolute idiot, traitor to your own people who makes a living by selling off your people’s good name and using that good name to do so.
A self-hating jew, kapo, and if we’d believe in hell, I’m sure you’d be going there.
This article is filled with lies, the polls cited in it are either mischaractarized, and taken out of context, or are non existant.
Guys like you make me want to convent to christianity just to discover there’s a hell and you’ll be roasting in it.
Have a nice day.

You [Independent Australian Jewish Voices] bunch of dirty rotten mamsers deserve a swing on the rope like the Nazi war criminals in the hands of Albert Pierremont and Chris Woods, the British and American executioners who hanged your Nazi friends after the Nuremberg Trials. If you can not say anything nice about the Jewish State, the State of Israel at least shut the fuck up and do not spread anti Semitic shit with your terrorist friends. If could, I would be happy to check your weight, adjust the rope around your neck and open the trap hole under your arse. That is what the mamsers like you deserve!

Antony you claim your voice is stifled within the Jewish community yet you have never submitted a letter to the AJN the Jewish communities only Newspaper in Australia. The AJN do not censor letters and people with radical unpopular views such as yours have their letters published.

As far as your group of dissident Jews some of them fake names submitted by people I know just to prove the list is not kosher. There are also some people that have asked to be removed. I know Of some personally who been asked to be removed in any case the genuine names or people only represent a few hundred out of a population of about 120,000 prteyy insignificant really. In every community, ethnic group or religious group there would be a few radicals that only represent them selves and not the majority. In Austyralia we have BOB Brown in USA they have Michael Moore, etc.

Why is it every time anybody posts a view on your blog site that you don’t agree with it only lasts a few minutes before it is removed {like this post}.

You should be aware that these posts that you remove are being printed out immediately as evidence to show that you are removing them ..

i just skimmed over an article in The Age on line co-authored by yourself.

What suprised me was that you sound jewish?

irrespective whether the points made in the article are in fact true or not, putting down Israel or Jewish views etc as you have actually is dangerous to us all. It strengthens petty attacks and worse.

I dont know who you are or what you believe in or if having a write up with your name on it is worth everything to you, but surely you can write about topics that dont cause harm and division amongst your own people.

I would be interested in hearing why you think you can put such a slanted view to print and along side a pro palestinian.

If in fact you may not be really jewish, which is what i assume then i still ask you that your views are counterproductive when thay are so slanted. The middle east is a difficult situation and there are many wrongs and few rights. lets not dream that Abbas is the saint in the mioddle east. The Plo and the arabs have used there own kind to get vantage points promoting a good cause, “The Palestinaian Cause”. They created most of their own problems

Think before you write.

Actually, they love people like you, who serve their purpose as useful idiots. See, they say, even the Jews say that the Israelis are Nazis or act like Nazis.
At the end of the day, however, you are to them a dirty jew just like the rest of us.
In Germany too, there were many Jews who thought they were atheists, till Hitler reminded them otherwise.
Same for Daniel Pearl.
So, at the end of the day, what are Tony Karon and Anthony Lowenstein known for? For siding with those who would murder us.
I am a proud Israel who served three years in the Paratroops, and I would do so again.

SHAME ON YOU

Why are so many Jews utterly afraid of openly discussing the rights and wrongs of Zionism?

Has something to do with the fact that Christians and Muslims had been killing Jews for millenia.

I’m particularly fond of the medieval habit of killing pregnant Jewish women by cutting off their hands, cutting open their belly, inserting a live cat, and sewing the belly shut.

Lovely!

Sir,
You are indeed the worst twister and distorter of facts I have ever seen. You are a disgrace to the Jewish people and I can only imagine what the world to come has in store for you. Remember Gehinnon awaits the epicoris. For you it probably rests somewhere between the knife of the mohel and the blade of the shochet, but not as quick, more like an eternity. If you were an Arab there would be a fatwa out against you, you fraud.

I dont understand all this negativity towards Israel especially coming from a Jew. Why are you turning against your own people? and what the hell do you mean by “Jews love fries with freedom”? wake-up dummy, Jews gave the concept of freedom to the world plus a host of other things as well, such as great music, literature, art: I could go on and on about OUR contrib to the human race for which we got little in return except persecution and villification. I guess the Saudis love “freedom” dont they? or the Pals (freedom as long as you are one of them) or the Syrians or the Iranians? Israel loves and cherishes freedom more than any other country on earth. If it weren’t for Pal terrorism, Israel would today be a thriving, prosperous and peaceful country, providing jobs and opportunities for 100’s of thousands of Pals and others from around the mid east, by no, jealosy got in the way didn’t it?

Wake up to yourself and get into the real world. israel has a security crisis on its hands RIGHT NOW that must be dealt with decisively and forcefully. The problem is in the here and now not in the distant future. People are dying on the streets of Israeli cities every day. F.. these Palestinians, may they all rot in hell, the misery they have brought to Israel, the hell they have created. i have friends who have lost loved ones to these terrorist murderers. Were it not for terror, Israel would be a thriving, prospering country providing benefits and friendship to all her neighbours.

It is a perfect indicator of the time we live in that the leaders of the West: political, scholastic, ecclesiastic, and above all, the pontificators of the Fourth Estate simply cannot bring themselves to face, let alone to state the obvious fact that the West is immeasurably superior to Islam. Harmony in music / perspective in painting / painless surgery / the eradication of many diseases that had plagued mankind throughout the ages / the abolishment of slavery / the harnessing of electricity, of steam and oil / the principles of flight, including into outer space / of photography / household plumbing (let us pay homage to the lowly Western plumber for it was he, not the medical profession, who banished cholera, dysentery & typhoid) / telephone, television & the computer/ the list goes on and on. Further, the universal languages of the arts & sciences are: English, French, Italian & German all Western tongues. The proof of the pudding is in the eating. Islamic students go to Western universities in their tens of thousands, very few Westerners attend Islamic universities save for religious studies.

Hey ,Loewenstein, you call your piece of perfidious fiction a best-seller and dont like the AJN calling you a rookie author, well, Loewenstein, the only sort of people that would be interested in reading your odious homily would be avowed Nazis, or the sponsors of Palestinian suicide bombers for 72 virgins that you seem to be amnestic for, despite being the self appointed vanguard of Palestinians.

You are a spoilt envious little attention seeker trying to get back at the leaders of the Jewish community for not admiring your seemingly invisible[non -existent ] self proclaimed talents.

Firstly Jews have a right to a home land in ISRAEL WITH Jerusalem as its Capital.

Because you are a secular jew you have little or now understading of what is happening.

We are NOT occupying Israel, they are living in our home land. They had plenty of chances to leave and go to ANY OTHER OF THE OTHER 22 fucking Arab countries.


Our right does NOT depend on what the UN or other peopel think. We exist because that is the plan.

Rabbi M Kahane was correct , we should have kicked them out when we had the chance.

When you start to live in the REAL WORLD then OPEN your mouth!!.

We own all of Israel not some ARABS , they are not PALESTINIANS!!!

Better not to speak and show how STUPID you are . Be quite and then people will only guess how stupid you are.

The Lebanon war is just . ONLY 1000 civilian casualties , that is not alot , especially when they were warned to get out.

WHO ELSE IN WAR GIVES NOTICE TO MOVE OUT PRIOR TO BOMBING

You are an idiot.

hugs and kisses you moron

Let me under stand Mr Loewenstein if I were to understand your logic if the 6 million Jews /Israelies gave in to the 1.5 billion Muslim/Arabs and their allies the French,Koreans,Chinese,Russians ,Swiss etc etc and gave the palestinians gaza,west bank,tel aviv,haifa and the rest all the Muslims and arabs that are currently planning attacks on their fellow citizens in canada,Uk,USA,France,Lakemba etc etc will immediatly put away their maps of subways and airports and dispose of their bombs all the islamic terrorists creating havoc in Chechyna,Kashmir,India,paksitan ,Iraq , Afganastan,yemen,Thailand,Phillipines northern China,Algeria just to name a few will all suddenly put down their weapons and be happy chappys the Arabs in Sudan will stop masacering the Black africans {400,000} last count,the sunni and the shea will stop murdering each other and stop blowing up each others mosques and the lebenese Muslims will stop killing theior christian brothers..

It’s amazing how even if the US really is losing the war on terror that anyone rational would be happy about such a thing.

But of course Ant knows that the chances of Muslim armies ever marching into Australia are more or less nil, and who gives a damn about those brown-skinned fellows who would have to bear the consequences of a US defeat? After all, they’re only Arabs / Africans / Asians, not good white people like Ant.

Israel is a state should needs to be forgotten. Send the Jews to live there in mass then turn our backs to them. Let karma take over and finish the job. What we see in Jews are people who are full of themselves, who believe that they can step on all people around them then expect to be glorified in the process. In the past couple years, I’ve started to believe that the Nazi’s had it right. Look how much trouble Jews are.

Once again, you lie and distort

Not once in the SMH article did the word “really” come up.

You are clearly not a journalist.

You continually confirm that the SMH decision to fire you was a correct one. You are dishonest and put your own spin on the words of others. No wonder you are hated so widely amongst professional journos.

You are disgusting, a liar and a hypocrite who sells his country and his people down the river for personal gain.

There are no words to describe how peurile you “really” are.

Two questions for you Antony:

1) Do you believe Israel is the worst country in the world and by such a large margin that it justifies Israel being singled out for this action? Are there no other countries in the world that you believe are engaged in occupation, disriminatory policies, or any of the host of sins you frequently accuse Israel of?

2) Why should any academic, whether from Israel or anywhere else, be forced to mouth a political view in order to be able to work and to collaborate? Surely in this case freedom of thought, political or otherwise, should be protected as important in universities. This is different from cases of opposing hate-speech, as this requires you to have and to express certain views.

Which is it? You can’t have it both ways — you are a typical narrow-minded left wing ideologue who wouldn’t know his arse from a hole in the wall. Go to Iraq and then talk to me. Fuckwit.

Islamic exremists in indonesia backed by islamic extremist head honcho osma { he said so} attacked australians in Indonesia beacuse of our support for christian east timorese..just as our support for the infidals of west papua will once again anger the islamic
extremists in indonesia who will attack aussies again in Bali no doubt…
isnt it strange how the leftys want our government to pick and choose who australia should support and where we should send troops…if the palestinians suddenly said they wanted aussies troops you watch how quick the leftys argue that we should send them.

Many people describe Loewenstein as a self-hating Jew what exactly is a self hating Jew.
I always thought Jews that sided with the Arabs did so because they believe they wouldn’t be targeted and left alone..? Isn’t a better description collaborator? Just imagine if any Arab or Muslim sided with the Jews how long before his head would be lobbed off?
We can see what happned to one muslim who converted to christianity.

Antony Lowenstein: Islam is not a ‘race’. Criticising Islam is not ‘racism’. Having your tongue perpetually crammed up the arse of every Islamofascist and screaming about ‘zionism’ doesn’t make you an independent thinker Antony, merely a paranoid, self-hating terror-apologist. Lowenstein is the kind of arseclown who, if he was alive in WW2, would probably have blamed the invasion of Poland on “Zionist provocation”.

I just spoke to some associates of mine. I’m glad I made copies of my comments and have now copied their removal by the blog’s owner.

When your book is published Antony, we will make it publically known that you stifle and censor polite fee speech on your own blog. There was nothing offensive about my comments except that you disagreed with them — and the public, including publishers (Loiuse [Adler, MUP head] to begin with) will be shown this.

You’re a fraud Loewenstein. You censor discussion on your own blog and limit it to those who agree with you. You have no credibility.

You will not be able to claim that my comments were offensive because I have copies of them to prove they were not.

Louise got her fingers burned with Latham and now you….she won’t want to touch you again after August.

The following message, by “Revilo”, was posted on the New Matilda message board on March 15 in response to my article about Israel’s “hidden shame“. (The spelling and grammar mistakes remain):

Here he goes again “Israel kills millions of Palestinians a day……” Loewenstein commits the big lie… remember that Antony?, Hitler and Goebbels used it to its fullest. I wonder in your humanist secular wisdom.. “I also am against a Buddhist, Muslim, Christian.. hegemonist state.” I wonder if you also vehemently oppose the Queen of England, the Pope, Ayatolla Khomeni. If so, we don’t hear it, except in an occasional aside.

Your continuous carping hyperbole and half truths, disgust and appall the mainstream Jewish Australian, and the N.M should cease to publicise your upcoming book. I can only wonder why they choose such a warped and biased writer.

As I have said before, the book will hopefully lie in the tip alonside such other works as ‘Mein Kamph’ and the ‘Protocols of the elders of Zion.’ No doubt the anti-semites will rush to your support as usual, and defend your jaundiced views to the hilt. I know in dignifying this rubbish with a response I am lending some credence to it. However I owe it to those who risk their lives daily by living in the promised land and to some degree the readership who deserve better. I only wish I could lend clout by having a website or title. I was derided for challenging this individual before. But I will not be swayed from commenting when I see the truth being so badly treated by someone who purports to be an expert.
