Julian Assange’s anti-Semite in Russia

I think WikiLeaks is a good thing. But I don’t think anti-Semites like Israel Shamir are good guys. How are the two related? Well, Reason reports that Shamir—no, that is not his real name—actually works for Wikileaks in an official capacity as “the group’s content aggregator in Russia, the man who “selects and distributes” the cables to Russian news organizations.”

Here’s what Shamir thinks about Jews:

So let us quickly recap the foulness of Shamir’s political views. As I noted last week, he has called the Auschwitz concentration camp “an internment facility, attended by the Red Cross (as opposed to the US internment centre in Guantanamo),” not a place of extermination. He told a Swedish journalist (and fellow Holocaust denier) that “it’s every Muslim and Christian’s duty to deny the Holocaust.” The Jews, he says, are a “virus in human form” and the Protocols of the Elders of Zion is real.

There is a lot more here, including links detailing Shamir’s WikiLeaks’ creds.
