					<description><![CDATA[Leonard Dinnerstein&#039;s and Abraham Foxman&#039;s ADL &quot;anti-Semitism&quot; allegation against the judge and jury in this case, and against the people of the South, is the biggest deception of the 20th century.

It is shocking that these Civil Right Activists -- who are credentialed and so prominent -- discredit and disgrace themselves by openly manufacturing an easily disproven hate crime hoax.

Dinnerstein and the ADL stand to ruin their good names by engaging in academic dishonesty, and falsifying history.

It&#039;s a racist and disingenuous charge against the American people of the South, and the US legal system, to say that anti-Semitism was behind Leo Frank&#039;s conviction. It&#039;s a disgusting and vicious lie of the very worst type. It seems unconscionable that Jewish groups, like the ADL, SPLC and other Jewish activist groups who claim to be fighting for civil rights, would so brazenly falsify history -- when this claim does not stand up to even the most minimal academic inquiry and scholarly scrutiny.

In the thousands of pages of Leo Frank&#039;s State and Federal appeals records there is not even a single hint that mobs of people were screaming anti-Semitic death threats at the judge and jury through the open windows at the trial.

Here&#039;s the truth: The South was the exact opposite of anti-Semitic; they were actually philo-semitic. The United States Census for all the decades prior to 1940 have been made public domain, and they indicate there was a great degree of marriages between Jews and Gentiles in the South, more than in any other part of the country.

The claim by some politically-motivated writers that half of Georgia&#039;s 3,000 Jewish families left the state in response to the Leo Frank case is categorically false -- in fact the exact opposite happened. The population of Jews grew in the South; it did not decline.

Today the Jewish population in Georgia is higher than it has ever been, by leaps and bounds! 

Why are men and women of sterling credentials so eager and willing to invert the reality of this case, and besmirch their reputations for honesty and integrity, by making up falsehoods about the Leo Frank trial that can be so easily disproven? Why?

Here&#039;s Dinnerstein&#039;s wildly inaccurate account: https://archive.org/details/LeoFrankAndTheAmericanJewishCommunity

Here&#039;s the ADL anti-Semitism hoax from Mr. Foxman:
