FAQs
Shamir-bashing is a popular pastime for supporters of Judaic
supremacy on the Web, and you may find many accusations and
claims about Shamir. Before writing to Shamir and asking him
'whether it is true that..." refer to these discussions,
arguments and contrarguments offering answers to the Frequently
Asked Questions.
Is it true that Mr Shamir's real name is something
else and that he is actually a Swede?
Here is a letter Israel Shamir had sent to the Swedish
Radio:
Dear sir/mme,
It has come to my attention that
Swedish Radio has chosen to reproduce a slur against my
person, which has been circulating in the deepest abyss of
internet hatemongers. The slur I am referring to concerns a
statement that questions my heritage and my persona. A few
years ago, after receiving severe death threats I chose to
get a name change in the Swedish registry. This was done in
order to safeguard my private life and to manage to travel
without harassments from political adversaries. A Swedish
magazine (Expo) decided to use this as an opportunity to
"expose my true identity", as they claimed that I was in
fact not Israel Shamir, neither an Israeli, but rather a
Swede by the name that i changed to in order to avoid
persecution. All of this is thoroughly documented both on my
website and other places, and the issue could easily have
been averted if the editors of the program had chosen
to contact me by email or my phone in Israel.
I do have Swedish citizenship,
as I have been married to a Swedish woman for some 15 years
and also have Swedish sons. My name is however Israel Shamir,
as it is written in my Israeli passport. To question my
identity is in this context obviously nothing else than an
attempt to discredit me.
Since Swedish Radio, as to my
understanding has certain regulations regarding accuracy and
objectivity I find it troubling to see that they have chosen
to so obviously mislead its listeners.
I truly hope that you will take
into account the statements that have been published on this
topic, and once and for all discern for the Swedish
listeners that a lie that is repeated a hundred times does
not become reality.
Please refer to the following
links as examples of available texts that the editors of the
radio program could easily have accessed and avoided the
embarrassment.
"I was even less impressed by Pollard’s
reference to my assumed Swedish name. Next time he may call
Salman Rushdie “actually a Mr Wiggins, a resident of
Bienfait, Saskatchewan”. Writers’ lot is not always an easy
sailing. I walk under a fatwa not less scaring than that of
Rushdie, for my name is on the hit list of Jewish Defense
League, and I do not intend to be as accommodating to them
as Mr Pollard perhaps would like. (This comparison goes a
long way, for I am not less critical to Judaism than Mr
Rushdie to Islam; but Jewish assassins are more successful
than their Muslim competitors, and the British readers may
remember Lord Moyne and many others.) Israeli newspapers are
quite critical of me, but they never published such rubbish
(“actually, a Swede…”) for I am quite well known locally."
"De Haas makes a lot of mileage out of old hat, that I
supposedly do not live in the Holy Land but in Sweden, and
that my name is something else. This silly stuff was first
published by the ADL-financed Expo website, whose ties with
Israeli intelligence were made public. Then it was
republished by its sister publication of Searchlight, which
proudly describes itself as a ‘Jewish antifascist magazine’.
Somehow this nonsense never made it to Israel. There, the
right-wing, extremely nationalist daily Maariv
recently published a five-full-pages-long expose of my
modest self, which included interviews with my elderly
mother, a prominent member of an Israeli nationalist party,
and everybody who had ever met me. But even this hostile
article did not lower itself to publish such obvious
nonsense. In my home in Israel, I receive visitors daily,
including those from the Netherlands; I feel comfortable
enough, and if I am to be tried for my betrayal of the
Jewish cause, for my belief in equality of Jew and goy, I’d
rather be tried in Israel than in once-Christian Europe."
Regards
Israel Shamir

Response to claims by Sue Blackwell
Sue Blackwell is an activist and a teacher who tried to organise
boycott of Israeli universities. She was surrounded by Jewish
Trotskyites, spread lies about Shamir and eventually dropped
this boycott idea like hot brick causing quite a lot of damage.
