Why We Hate Jews

By Bradley R. Smith ∙ August 15, 1993

Last updated on

“Rob Reiner, Jewish director of 'A Few Good Men,' [says] 'Because Jews are the smartest people in the world, we are also the most hated.”

I think Debbie, for one, is going to prove to be something of a disappointment to Rob on the smarts score. However, he also thinks that “Jews have always been the funniest people” too. Now we're getting somewhere. Debbie might have a shot at that one. And then there's the insider tidbit on who runs Hollywood, therefore whose point of view about the Holocaust you are most likely to get on TV as well as on the big screen. “It's all run by Jews,” Reiner says. “even Disney.”

  • Bradley R. Smith

    Bradley R. Smith was born in Los Angeles on February 18, 1930. At 18 he joined the army and in 1951 served with the infantry in Korea where he was twice wounded. After three decades of a variety of professional activities, it suddenly hit him: In 1979 he read a leaflet by Professor Robert Faurisson, "The Problem of the Gas Chambers." Then, Arthur Butz’s The Hoax of the Twentieth Century did it for him. He understood from the beginning that he would address the censorship, the suppression of independent thought, the taboo against publishing and debating revisionist arguments—not the arguments themselves. That has remained his position. In 1989, Smith founded Committee for Open Debate on the Holocaust (CODOH) dedicated to defending free speech and free inquiry into the Holocaust question. He handed over CODOH's helm in late 2014. He passed away on his 86th birthday, February 18, 2016. Read a series of obituaries here.
