[The Black Panther Party - The Anti-Semitic and Anti-Israel Component]

The file contains a typewritten document of 9 pages on the anti-Semitic and anti-Israel positions of the Black Panther Party. The document’s author is not mentioned on the document, but it is dated January 23, 1970. A handwritten note is found on top of the first page, referring to the American Jewish Committee. While the document itself does not refer to any author, it is Milton Ellerin, then the director of the American Jewish Committee’s Trends Analysis Division, who wrote this report. The text aims to inform the public on the Black Panther Party’s anti-Israel inspired internationalist program that is less known than the Party’s America-related activities. The text locates the Black Panther Party and its activists Bobby Seale, Huey P. Newton, and Eldridge Cleaver ideologically close to other left wing inspired revolutionary groups, and especially to the Palestinian Al-Fatah. Furthermore, the text gives various examples of anti-Semitic content and Al-Fatah supporting comments found in the Party’s publications and made by its representatives.
