Partners in Bigotry The anti-Jewish leitmotif surfaces in foreign affairs as
well. For
LaRouche this frequently takes a nominally anti-
Zionist form which, in some of its language, echoes classic
anti-Semitic imagery. He has stated, ...We know that Zionism
today is a parody more hideous than what it imitates from
the most evil period of Ptolemaic Egypt and the Roman
Empire," and has referred to "the Zionist octopus," which
"must be destroyed." The cult leader has also argued that,
"If international Jewry were...freed of the grip of the
Zionist psychosis...the problems of the Middle East could be
resolved." Farrakhan states simply, "The presence of a state
called Israel is an outlaw act."
Also on the international scene, both groups have sought
ties with terrorist states. In the 1980s, the Nation of
Islam received a $5 million interest-free loan from Libya.
Farrakhan and his lieutenants have visited Muammar Kaddafi
in Libya on several occasions, and participated in
demonstrations protesting the 1986 U.S. raid on Tripoli.[4]
Last year
LaRouche's wife Helga Zepp LaRouche, participated
in a conference in The Sudan, a repressive launch pad for
Islamist terrorism, and met with Sudanese leaders. The
LaRouche organization also had a relationship with Iraq in
the late 1970s that apparently was revived at the time of
Gulf War. A member of the cult's European Executive
Committee made several trips to Baghdad, ostensibly on a
humanitarian mission, and
LaRouche-controlled newspapers
lambasted the anti-Saddam campaign in 1990-91.
