Mohommed: You re removed 02:19:19
from your ghettos of Warsaw
and Krakow. You are removed
from your ghettos, white
Jew. But these, the sons
and daughters of Africa, we
are still in the ghettos of
white America to this very
day that we sit here
tonight.
Jones: This is the ugly face of black nationalism in America.
Mohammed: No Jew on the face of the planet earth can say that you were robbed of your name, your language, your religion, your cuI ture, your god, your folkways, your mores, your norms. I f you do, you're a damn 1 iar and as Jesus said "The truth is not in you". You make me sick.
Jones: A violent anti- 03:03:23
Semitism,the causes of which are understood only by disciples.
Shabaz z: The only reason
we speak ..
upon the Jewish community 03:12:06
or elements thereof is
their relationship to our suffering.
Mid Jones
Jones: But why single out 03:17:23
one group from the white
community, especially one
that's suffered already, so
terribly.
Shabazz: We contend that…

CU Rabbi Hecht
the Jewish Talmud which was practiced yesterday and today, caused more murders of Africans than all of the gas chambers in Nazi Germany.
Rabbi: The type of anti-Semitism that he is preaching now is the type of anti-Semitism that was preached by Hitler in 1930s in Germany.

Jones: Norman Rosenbaum knows the results of this sort of hate-mongering. His brother Yenkel was beaten and stabbed to death during the anti-Jewish rioting in Brooklyn in 1991. Rosenbaum is on a mission, to get the US Attorney-General to reopen the case against his brother's alleged murderers. |

Jones: Khalid Mohommed is 04:34:03
in Washington on a miss ion
of his own. He's considered
by many Jews to be one of
the most dangerous men in
America. So his well publicised decision to tour
the city's Holocaust Museum
was met with justified suspicion.
Woman: He is so bigoted 04:57:05
that you can't possibly change his mind. So no matter what you say, he's still going to say that.
Man: Even if it's - they did suffer - but you can't blame the people today, that never were over here, they were in Europe during the time there was slavery here. You can't blame them for the slavery here.
Jones: But in the end they 05:22:08
let him in.
Norman Rosenbaum's passion 05:35:2o
for justice has made him
friends in high places. In
the US Congress he's
lobbied extensively to get
powerful voices behind his
push to reopen the books on
his brother's murder.

Rosenbaum: Hi, how are you?
D'mato: Good to see you. How's your family?
Jones: Some, like New York Republican Senator Al D'mato no doubt have good political reasons for keeping the Jewish lobby on side.
Rosenbaum: You know me.
Quiet and unassuming.
Jones: But the access this Australian gets here is also due in part to fears of racial conflagration.
The man who's fanning those 06:20:05 flames came out of the
Holocaust Museum unabashed
and apparently unmoved, to
deliver his reprepared
speech to the waiting
cameras.
Mohommed: As we toured the 06:32:11 Jewish Holocaust memorial
we thought of how out of
the German people, the so
called Jews were given a Schindler's List. But out
of the white man of America
and the European nations,
the Jews and Arabs who participated in the black
or the African holocaust,
we were given a Swindler's
List.
Shabazz: We have a duty 07:01:20 also to let the world know
that there was another holocaust which gives its
truest definition - the
black holocaust.
Jones: Surely it just 07: 10: 16
denigrates your own case to turn hatred on the Jews?

admitted their role in our oppression. But the ones
who have consistently
denied and kept secret
their role was the Jewish
people. Now the secret relationship is being revealed.
Jones: Just over the 07:29:20
Brooklyn Bridge from
Manhattan is the
neighbourhood of Crown
Heights and here the relationship between blacks and Jews is no secret.
Rabbi Hecht: Crown Heights became an integrated community. It was probably the only truly integrated community in the United States. Where you actually had black people and white people, and not just white people - Hassidic Jews living side by side in the same community. Now we always thought that Crown Heights was a model community...
for that reason. August -91 08:10:15 shattered that belief that
we had. It shattered that
feeling that we had. It was
a shame of course that such
a thing had to happen.
Jones: It was that summer 08:20:18 that festering animosity
erupted into three days of anti-Jewish rioting. The
riot was triggered by a car
accident involving the motorcade of the chief
Rabbi. The accident killed
a child, Gavin Cato, and critically injured his
cousin Angela. Jews here
describe the vengeful
rioting that followed as a
pogrom.

Rabbi Hecht: When we were 08:56:23
out there on the streets
and we saw raised fists in
an organised fashion, screaming Heil Hitler,
kill the Jews', these
weren't local kids from the
community, these were
professional trouble
makers, who had come to this community and they were using this refrain 'Heil Hitler, kill the Jews' .
Dr. Green They yell about 09:15:20 being abused but they were
all protected. They were
well protected. The Lubavitcher Hassidics have
come into this area, not to
be part of the community,
but to take over and push
out.
Jones: Doctor Vernon Cave 09:36:18 lives in the heart of Crown
Heights with mostly Jewish neighbors. In 1991 he saw
the rioters from his front
yard.
Cave: And as soon as I saw 09:49:07
them running down I
retreated, because I wasn't
going to be a part of any
conflict of any kind.
Jones: He believes the anger had been building up for years as the Chassidic community took root and grew here. The doctor's a good man, he says he has Jewish friends, but he can't help himself thinking there's a conspiracy going on here.

orthodox Lubavitcher community.
Rosenbaum: You can come here at 4 o'clock in the morning and you'll find people here. You'll see the people coming, they chat, say hello, they then go and pray. Others go straight to prayer.

this community, and you've 11:31:12 noted it yourself is that
it takes pride in being different. Is it their distinctiveness that's made
them a target?
Rosenbaum: It's not so
much their physical
appearance# and their identity
per se which makes them a
target. If anything it's
the envy and jealousy,
for example, it's a community
which shows initiative.
It doesn't waitfor the city
to react to unemployment,
and welfare problems and
issues. They do it themselves.
Green: I try to show my 12:03:04 people how to learn from
the Chassidic community.
How can 20, 000 people take
in a community that I s over
100,000 strong and have the
sort of economic, social
and political power. I want
to learn from that.
Green: Discipline of the 12:21:02 mind is the greatest
ingredient of general
morality and therefore
of spiritual strength.
Jones: Richard Green's community school in Crown Heights runs directly counter to the religious and racial intolerance that lie at the heart of the community's problems.
Green: We never knew of each other. We never knew of all the common points of interest and that is what happened to bring people at this juncture …

Jones: At a Yeshiva or religious school in Brooklyn, Norman Rosenbaum addressed the non-African children of New York Jews.
Rosenbaum: And they're saying that because what they're trying to do is build up the justification to physically attack us, to dehumanise us. And you know who did that the last time - Adolph Hitler.
