Encyclopaedia of Race and Racism under Zionist Attack

Earlier this year, Macmillan Reference USA - a leading publishing house - published a "The Encyclopedia of Race and Racism".

The Encyclopaedia is the first such work examining the anthropological, sociological, historical, economic, and scientific theories of race and racism in the modern era. The set delves into the historic origins of ideas of race and racism and explores their social and scientific consequences. Some of the nearly 400 articles address broad theoretical topics that have helped to shape modern ideas about race and racism; others address more specific subjects in the larger fields. Zionism is one of those racist ideas explored in this book. It was written by Dr. Noel Ignatiev*.

In October 2008, the American Jewish Committee objected to the encyclopedia article on Zionism that Dr. Ignatiev wrote for "The Encyclopedia of Race and Racism". In an effort to hide the truth behind Zionism, Zionist lobbies are now putting huge pressure on the publishing house to remove the article in which Dr. Ignatiev described Israel as a racial state, where rights are assigned on the basis of ascribed descent or the approval of the superior race and likened it to Nazi Germany and the Southern United States before the civil rights movement.

Action:

First, have a look at this entry on "Zionism" in the Macmillan "Encyclopedia of Race and Racism" (PDF File):

http://www.ccsu.edu/library/Bernstein/Zionism.pdf

Alternatively, you can read the 5 pages of this article by viewing the attached images (click to enlarge):

Now, you can guess where this is heading. You can see why the Zionists are going apoplectic - the article doesn't just make the case for the Palestinian right of return but also quotes Lenni Brenner on Zionist collaboration with the Nazis. And much more.
