============================================== On May 5, 2009, the Republic of Srpska TV program Nekad Bilo (It Once Was) broadcast an interview with former Ambassador to Israel Arie Livne, and Jared Israel, editor of TENC and member of the International Commission on Jasenovac. The subject: "Dangers of Fascism Today." Jared Israel spoke in English with a simultaneous Serbo-Croatian translation; watching the video (see link below), one hears both.
To assist English-speaking viewers, we transcribed Jared's remarks along with an English translation of the relevant questions from interviewer Sinisha Mihajlovich (pronounced See-nee-sha Mee-hail-o-vich), indicating the times these appear in the video.
The first part of the transcript is posted below, with a table of contents. (We regret that we do not have an English translation of Arie Livne's remarks.)

What are the characteristics of Fascism? ============================================== [Time on video] 6:18 -- Sinisha Mihajlovich: Mr. Israel, you have been working as a journalist for a long time, and you are very well informed about Fascism and all its forms. You know about these forms of Fascism, and our people may not know enough about this. So, how was Fascism, and also the idea of Fascism, started, and what are its characteristics?
6:42 -- Jared Israel: Well, that's a very big question. But to take the most developed and advanced, so to speak, form of Fascism, which is Nazism, and the variations, such as the Ustashe in Croatia and the Fascist movements in the Baltic states and so on: at the heart of that Fascism is a mixture of racism, intense racism, especially against the Jews, but not only against them, and, secondly, often religious fanaticism -- especially Catholic fanaticism with the Ustashe and in the Baltic states, in Slovakia and so on -- often clerical-Fascism. So we have a mixture of clerical fanaticism and also this intense racism, especially, foremost, directed all around against Jews, and then in various areas directed against other groups, especially against Slavs and Roma. So in the Baltic states against Russians and in World War II Croatia of course against the Serbs.
Did you want to ask a little more on that question or is that---
============ ================================== II. Intellectuals and Fascism; the role of the Catholic church in preparing the ground for Nazism ============================================== 8:05 -- Sinisha Mihajlovich: Oh, yes, I do. How is it possible that an idea like that, in that moment, could find supporters among intellectuals in a society? [Note: Jared Israel was answering based on a translation that he heard through a small mike attached to his ear. He reports that either his translator translated the question as "Why didn't intellectuals oppose Fascism," or, in any case, that that is how he heard it. So he is answering the question: "Why didn't intellectuals oppose Fascism?"]
8:25 -- Jared Israel: Well, in many cases such intellectuals are dead. I mean, that's what happened in Germany. Many intellectuals did oppose the Fascist movement: the Communists opposed it; the Socialists opposed it; and a segment of the Center Party, which was the Catholic party, the left of it or the antifascist part of it, opposed it. And many of them ended up killed very quickly. The Communists first in Germany in 1933 were killed, and then many Socialists, and so on.
I think the other side of the question is, 'why would masses of people fall for this?' Because the ideas of racist Fascism, of clerical-Fascism, are such nonsense really. And I think the answer is that there's been extensive propaganda beginning in the 19th century rooted in people's religious beliefs that presented--- especially presenting Jews as a menace to all Gentiles, as cruel, heartless people who always stick together, a group of insects with one mind, and whose goal is to destroy Gentile society, who simultaneously have complete control of it and are always trying to get complete control of it. Because, of course, if they have complete control the story is over. So to mobilize people in fear of this terrible menace you have to keep--- you have to say that they are continually trying. And that was put forward by a movement that developed after the [time of the] Civil War in the United States, in which [movement] the Catholic church and the Jesuit magazine Civiltà Cattolica played a leading role, you know, putting forward this stuff very, very explicitly, that Jews were plotting. In one of the articles in Civiltà Cattolica they said that if a Gentile does something wrong he has to apologize; a Jew has to apologize if he does a good deed, because his teaching is, 'you must always hurt Gentiles.' [See footnote [1] for our English translation and the original Italian text of the article in question.]
So these ideas were put into people's heads over and over in a million ways by this movement that developed long before there was any Fascism. So that the ground was ploughed and watered, whatever, you know, the basis was laid. And that's the critical question. And many people of course did oppose Fascism, and many people died opposing it, I mean, that was one of the things that happened.
Germany was not a country of reaction. It was a country which was viewed as the most progressive in the world. And one of the things that the Nazis did in Germany, of course, was they destroyed German culture and they eliminated it, literally, by killing many of the finest people, and so on.
============================================== III. The role of the Catholic hierarchy in promoting clerical-Fascism; proof is provided regarding Croatia ============================================== 16:08 -- Sinisha Mihajlovich [to Arie Livne.]: If I can please ask you -- that part about World War II -- to go back to that, the idea of Fascism, Nazism, and all that hatred in this area. We saw recently the commemoration of Jasenovac [the Croatian death camp]--- how many people died among Jews, Serbs, and Roma in a quisling country like Independent Croatia, which was born and developed based on the idea of Fascism. [2] I would like to ask you how you look at that idea. How was it possible, such a systematic killing of everyone who was not Croatian? And is that idea new, or is it something which has its roots in history?
[Note: We have included the above question, although it is to Arie Livne, because Jared Israel answers it below.]
23:25 Sinisha Mihajlovich: Mr. Israel, what kind of neo-Fascist, Nazi, or neo-Nazi groups--- in what form do they exist in the world today?
23: 42 Jared Israel: You do ask big questions, don't you? I want to say something else about Croatia, because I do a lot of research in the past media, studying the newspaper reports from the time. You find a lot from that. And one of the papers I use the most is The New York Times, which is a very authoritative source from the West. And I have--- this is a--- I don't know if you can see it, but this is the headline of an article in The New York Times, in February 1941.
 | 24:18 -- The camera shows Jared Israel holding a copy of a newspaper article with the headline, "Vatican Aid Sought For Croat Patriots. Yugoslav Prelate Is Said to Ask Freedom for Jailed Priests. By Telephone to THE NEW YORK TIMES. Belgrade, Yugoslavia, Feb. 16[, 1941]" (capitalization as in the original).
To read the complete text of this article with analysis by Jared Israel, see "Did the Vatican do too little to hurt the Nazis? Or too much to help them?," The Emperor's New Clothes, at http://emperors-clothes.com/times-2-17.htm | 24:20 -- Jared Israel: So this was of course before the coup in Serbia on March 27[, 1941] and before the April invasion [i.e., the Axis invasion of Yugoslavia]. Now, the position that the Vatican has taken, that I have seen, on the Ustashe, was that they [i.e., Catholic clerics] were in a position where they were forced to cooperate with them [i.e., the Ustashe], because they had taken power and things would have been worse [if the clerics had not cooperated]. In fact, [Croatian Archbishop] Stepinac said that at his trial, also reported in The New York Times, that 'if I hadn't done what I did things would have been worse.' He admitted, by the way, to mass forced conversions [of Serbs] in that trial, he didn't deny that, he said, 'My conscience is clear. I did the best thing that could be done.' | Headline and excerpt from the 1946 New York Times article reporting Stepinac's casual confession. |  | [...] -- "Stepinatz Refuses to Defend Himself; Admits Not Opposing Forcible Conversions but Insists Conscience Is Clear," The New York Times, October 2, 1946, Wednesday; Page 13, 264 words
To read the complete text of this article go to http://tenc.net/times/step.htm#2 | 25:00 -- Jared Israel: So, the question is how then one explains that on February 16[, 1941] The New York Times runs a story, which has the headline: "Vatican Aid Sought For Croat Patriots." [Note: the article was datelined February 16th but was published February 17th.] And the Times called them "Croat Patriots" because the Times wasn't trying to attack the Ustashe. But they were talking about the Ustashe, as the article makes clear. And what it reports is that: "The Archbishop of Zagreb is intervening at the Vatican, asking the freedom of Catholic priests detained in Croatia in connection with the circulation of political literature." And then as the article develops it emerges that this "political literature" is that of the Ustashe. They say: "Despite numerous rumors that the pamphlets and recent bombings at Zagreb are part of a single subversive effort to undermine Croat unity, police information on recent events in... "]
[Jared stopped in the middle of reading a sentence. The rest of that sentence is: "....the bombings case indicates that the time bombs were manufactured and planted by a separate Fascist organization, some of whose members are now imprisoned in the Croat capital."] [Jared pauses, listening to the translator, who is speaking to him through a mike attached to his ear.] I am going a little too fast for my translator. Should I begin that paragraph again? OK. OK, I am being talked to by--- I am being scolded by my translator. I'll paraphrase it then.
What the article says is that, while certain Fascists groups have been bombing Zagreb at this time, the particular group, Pavelich's group, the Ustashe, is not the one that was just arrested for bombings; it's a different one. And that's the group that the Catholic priests have been distributing literature for and were arrested in connection with.
Now, [we have] the then Archbishop of Croatia going to the Vatican to meet about the problem of priests arrested for Ustasha activity in February [1941]. What it demonstrates is that the Vatican was behind the Ustasha movement, this was--- and that, I think, goes a long way to explaining Mr. Livne's point, that the Croats responded with such passion [in support of the Ustashe.] Because [the late Croatian president] Tudjman once [i.e., in 1998] said that Croatia was a country in whose people the Catholic church lives, in their hearts. [3]
So, if that was said after many years of Communist rule, imagine what it was like in 1941, when there was no opposition in Croatia, effectively, to the Catholic Church. And the Catholic church was inspiring people by having priests actually distribute the literature to support the Ustashe.
============ ================================== IV. The Catholic hierarchy is again aggressively promoting clerical-Fascism, for example sponsoring the Ustasha rock star, 'Thompson' ============================================== 27:56 -- Jared Israel: So I think what is terribly disturbing in that connection is that today we have in Croatia, very publicly, the propaganda, really, of the rock star Marko Perkovich 'Thompson.' And 'Thompson''s songs are Ustasha songs, accompanied by "Za dom spremni," [this Ustasha chant literally means, "For home, ready," with "home" having a mystical-racist connotation] and, you know, the straight arm salute, which I refuse to do -- which he leads, he leads, you know; he says "Za dom" and they say "spremni", or they say "Za dom" and he says "spremni," whatever -- with children dressed in Ustasha uniform, looking bizarre but very frightening. [4]
And the [Catholic] church directly sponsored his failed concert in the spring of 2007 in Sarajevo to commemorate the pope's visit [i.e., John Paul II's visit in 1997]. The church tried to have the concert with him and there was tremendous protest including from various groups and it was called off. He then went on a tour of the world. In New York the cardinal was called upon to cancel his appearance in a church-owned property and refused, saying they could find no evidence of any Fascism in his songs. Now, these songs include material like the material in his song -- I am going to mispronounce this probably -- "E moj narode" ("Alas, my people"), which puts forward that there's a plot of 'Antichrists and Masons and communists.' [5]
Now this is straight out of the Fascist and Nazi propaganda of the 1920s and the 1930s, where the "Antichrists" means 'the Jews'; it's just a code word, because if he says 'Jews' he'd get in a lot of trouble. But when he was in the Netherlands and he was asked about the cancellation of his concert he said, 'Well, the people who canceled it killed Christ, so how can we expect them to be nice to a little man [such as I am]'. [6] So we can figure out whom he is talking about; it's not a mystery. And the problem here is that this is sponsored by the church and manifestly sponsored by the [Croatian] government. I mean, he himself was a government creation during the war. During the early 1990s he was sponsored by the government, you know, to do propaganda songs to motivate the troops, and his songs are [inciting] hatred of Serbs. He has a song celebrating the genocidal driving of Serbs out of the Krajina. He has another song calling on the Croatians to cross the river and burn down Serbia. And he has this song, "Alas my people," saying that an army is needed to stop 'the Jews.' So this is just a very modern, very effective form of Nazi propaganda. And it's not just some neo-Fascist groupings, this or that neo-Fascist -- every country has problems with these people -- this is being promoted. He had a concert July 2007 -- I think it was July 1 -- on July 5 it was promoted on television in Croatia. [Correction: the concert was June 17, 2007; it was televised on July 2, 2007.] There was some opposition to that, and the board that controls the TV station, the board spokesperson, made a violent antisemitic speech, you know, blaming all problems on the Jews, and so on. | Picture of Jadranka Kolarevich (on the right), a member of the HRT (Hrvatska Radiotelevizija -- Croatian Radio-Television) Programming Council and president of the Croatian Consumers Association, denouncing 'the Jews,' following criticism of HRT for televising Marko Perkovich 'Thompson''s June 17, 2007 concert in Zagreb, Croatia. Among other remarks, Kolarevich, who boasted of being at the concert, claimed World War II Croatia, which murdered most Jews, was actually run by Jews, and she attacked Israel as genocidal.

We have the problem now of the lifting of the excommunications of the bishops from the Society of St. Pius X [by Pope Benedict XVI]. The Society of St. Pius X puts forward that non-Catholic Christians are agents of the devil. My translator just asked me to repeat the last sentence. We have the lifting of the excommunications of the bishops of the Society of S. Pius X, a society which puts forward that non-Catholic Christians are agents of the devil and that Jews and Masons and Communists -- the same line as 'Thompson' -- are plotting to destroy Christians, and so on. [7]
Yes?
32:58 -- Sinisha Mihajlovich: Mr. Israel, what I would like to know is how much do you write in your articles in Israel about all of these things that are happening, and how many people in Israel know about Yugoslav history and the wars in this last century -- the First and Second World Wars and the war in the '90s?

======================================= [Note: For mailing purposes we have not used diacritics (accents). For a list of affected words, with explanations, see footnote [13]. This article is posted with diacritics at http://emperors-clothes.com/nekad.htm ] [1] Jared is paraphrasing a March 1881 article from La Civiltà Cattolica, a Jesuit publication started in 1850 by order of the pope and directly controlled by him: each issue was read and edited prior to publication by the pope. (Today La Civiltà Cattolica is vetted by the Vatican Secretariat of State.) Since this Civiltà Cattolica article, quoted below, is a vicious attack on Jews -- one of many such attacks by La Civiltà Cattolica over the past century and a half -- let us clearly state: contrary to what La Civiltà Cattolica claims, the Talmud never incites Jews against non-Jews and never argues that it is OK to mistreat non-Jews, or anything of the kind.
The Civiltà Cattolica slander quoted below was part of a campaign aimed at a) indoctrinating ordinary people to believe their problems (indeed all problems) were caused by 'the Jews,' laying the basis for them to support the worst anti-democrats, who demagogically played on fear and hatred of Jews, and b) legitimizing violence against Jews and anyone else who said Jewish people deserve normal human rights. Here is the English translation of the first page of this nine page article, followed by the original Italian text. Thanks go to Michelle R. for locating and scanning this and other Civiltà Cattolica texts. [Excerpt from La Civiltà Cattolica starts here]
[SECTION:] CONTEMPORARY CHRONICLE
Florence, 10th March 1881.
[Title:] ROME (Our correspondence) --- Of Jewish hate both theoretical and practical against the non-Jewish human race. How Jewish law now is contained not in the Bible but solely in the Talmud. How much therefore it is necessary for everyone to know what the Talmud commands the Jews against the non-Jews.
The whole essence of modern Judaism, that is of the antisocial, antihumanitarian, and above all anti-Christian Talmudic-rabbinic law, which the Jews are now observing, believing that they are observing Mosaic law, consists essentially in that fundamental dogma of it, according to which the Jew neither can nor shall ever recognize as his neighbour anyone else but a Jew. All the others, either Christians or non-Christians, must be considered, by every good Jew observing his law, as non-neighbour, non-brothers and more than that as enemies, hateable, persecutable, and, if it is possible, exterminatable from the face of the earth. And this by religious commandment, which they believe ordered by God himself through the Talmud and the Rabbis. So that when a Jew, either by force or by interest or even by nature not entirely perverted by his religion, observes towards a non-Jew some precepts of the natural law, with this very act he believes that he is committing a sin against his religion and his conscience.. Precisely the opposite of what happens to non-Jews. Who are aware of sinning when they violate the precepts of natural law even towards Jews. In which [fact] consists the reason for the essential difference, antipathy, hostility and contradiction that always existed between the Jewish race and all others infested by its presence. Although in fact at times it looks as if some Jews were better than some Christians, nevertheless because of this very fact, as Jews, they are worse. Because, if the Christian violates his law, by doing harm, the Jew violates it by believing he is doing good. And when the Christian repents of the sin, then the Jew must repent of the goods deed.

[Excerpt from La Civiltà Cattolica ends here] The original Italian version of the excerpt above reads as follows: CRONACA CONTEMPORANEA
Firenze, 10 marzo 1881.
I.
ROMA (Nostra corrispondenza) --- Dell'odio ebreo sì teorico e sì pratico contro il genere umano non ebreo. Come la legge ebrea non si contenga ora nella Bibbia ma nel solo Talmud. Quanto perciò sia necessario che tutti conoscano ciò che il Talmud comanda agli ebrei contro i non ebrei.
Tutto il nervo del moderno Giudaismo, cioè della legge antisociale, antiumanitaria e soprattutto anticristiana talmudica-rabbinica che gli ebrei ora osservano credendo di osservare la legge Mosaica, consiste essenzialmente in quel suo domma fondamentale, secondo il quale l'ebreo non può nè dee riconoscere mai per suo prossimo altri che un ebreo; tutti gli altri o cristiani o non cristiani dovendo essere da ogni buon ebreo osservante della sua legge considerati come non-prossimo, non-fratelli ed anzi come nemici odiabili, perseguitabili e sterminabili, se fosse possibile, con qualsiasi mezzo dalla faccia della terra. E ciò per precetto religioso che essi si danno a credere intimato da Dio medesimo per l'organo del Talmud e dei Rabbini. Cosicchè quando un ebreo, o per forza o per interesse od anche per natura non del tutto pervertita dalla sua religione, osserva verso un non ebreo qualche precetto della legge naturale, egli con ciò stesso crede di peccare contro la sua religione e la sua coscienza. Al rovescio appunto di ciò che accade ai non ebrei. I quali hanno a coscienza di peccare quando violano anche verso gli ebrei i precetti della legge naturale. Nel che consiste la ragione dell'essenziale differenza, antipatia, ostilità e contraddizione sempre passata tra la razza ebrea e tutte le altre infestate dalla sua presenza. Quantunque infatti talvolta paia verificarsi che alcuni ebrei siano migliori di alcuni cristiani, ciononostante in ciò stesso, in quanto ebrei, sono peggiori. Giacchè se il cristiano viola la sua legge facendo il male, l'ebreo la viola credendo di fare il bene. E quando il cristiano si sente rimordere la coscienza pel misfatto, l'ebreo se la dee sentire rimordere pel benefizio. E quando il cristiano si pente del peccato, allora l'ebreo dee pentirsi dell'opera buona. [...]
[Note: All accent marks and emphasis, including when used incorrectly, as in original -- S.C.] [2] Regarding the Ustasha death camp at Jasenovac, see the articles "Croatia" and "Jasenovac" in the Encyclopedia of the Holocaust, published by Yad Vashem in 1990 and posted on Emperor's Clothes at http://emperors-clothes.com/croatia/encr.htm [3] In 1998, Pope John Paul II visited Croatia, where he beatified Cardinal Stepinac, who led the World War II Croatian Ustasha campaign to forcibly convert hundreds of thousands of Serbs to Catholicism. Just before the visit, the official Croatian news agency HINA reported the following remarks by Croatian president Tudjman: [Excerpt from HINA dispatch starts here]
"The Pope's visit can be seen as support for Croatia in the light of pressures by the international community, those circles that do not favour the independence of Croatia, a country supportive of the principles which the Catholic Church and the Vatican preach and advocate," Tudjman said.
He described the beatification of Cardinal Stepinac and the arrival of Pope John Paul II as a backing of the democratic Croatia in which the Catholic Church has a full opportunity to work in the spirit of its principles and to the benefit of the people within which it lives. [My emphasis -- J.I.]
[Excerpt from HINA dispatch ends here]
-- "Croatian President Assesses Importance of Pope's Forthcoming Visit," HINA news agency, Zagreb, in English 1719 gmt 27 Sep 98; Supplied by BBC Worldwide Monitoring, September 28, 1998, Monday; British Broadcasting Corporation, BBC Monitoring Europe -- Political; 1310 words [6] The 'Thompson' concert in Amsterdam, which had been scheduled for November 22, 2003, was canceled by the local concert hall provider following the protests of Jewish and Sinti ('Gypsy') organizations. The next day the tour organizer found an alternative location in Rotterdam. The Anti-Discrimination Agency for Rotterdam (RADAR) joined the protests. Rotterdam's Mayor, in consultation with the police, decided to prohibit Perkovich from performing while allowing his band to play. When, in violation of the agreement, Perkovich went on stage to address the public, the police intervened, told Perkovich he had to leave, and removed him from the room, not permitting him to reenter. On November 25, 2003 Perkovich gave an "exclusive" interview to Slobodna Dalmacija at Frankfurt airport, en route to Croatia, in which he blamed his banning on 'the Jews,' comparing himself to Jesus, whose death he also blamed on 'the Jews.' (Demonstrating that once a man succumbs to Ustasha-adoration, he will rapidly decline, soon engaging in public displays of antisemitism, and, eventually, immodesty.)
Here is a rough translation of what Perkovich told Slobodna Dalmacija on November 25, 2003: " 'I have nothing against Jews, but we know that even Jesus Christ had nothing against them and they crucified him all the same, so why not me, a little ordinary man,' Thompson stressed."
[Original text in Serbo-Croatian:] " 'Nemam nishta protiv Zhidova, ali znamo da ni Isus Krist nije imao nishta protiv njih, pa su ga svejedno razapeli, a kamoli neche mene, malog obichnog chovjeka,' istie Thompson." Perkovich's slanders can be read in full in Serbo-Croatian in "Nizozemska policija Thompsonu zabranila koncerte! Thompson: Za sve su krivi Zhidovi," (rough translation: "Dutch police banned Thompson concerts! Thompson: Blame it all on the Jews") by Marijana Kasalo, Slobodna Dalmacija, 25 November 2003, at http://arhiv.slobodnadalmacija.hr/20031125/mozaik01.asp [13] Serbo-Croatian and German have diacritics (accent marks), which are not present in English, and which some email services cannot decipher.
