DISTURBING INDICATIONS OP ANTISEMITISM IN JAPAN
HON. TOM LANTOS
OF CALIFORNIA
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Monday, July 20, 1987
Mr. LANTOS. Mr. Speaker, a column by Hobart Rowen in the Washington Post last Thursday deals with what he calls the "aston- ishing spread of anti-Jewish literaturę in Japan." Despite the fact that there are virtual- ly no Jews in Japan and that there is no tradi- tional anti-Semitism, Mr. Rowen writes that crude anti-Semitic lies which I find reminis- cent of the worst the Nazis and czarist Russia had to offer are being published in Japan: The Jews caused the Great Oepression; the Rockefellera are Jews and, along with other Jews, run IBM and General Motors: the Jews control the media; the U.S. Cabinet is run by Jews like Weinberger and Shultz.
