Editorial
The New Threat of Fascism Today
Correction
In “Project Daniel Is Issued by Israel’s Dr. Strangeloves,” EIR, June 18, 2004, the author wrongly characterized Judah Maccabeus as “the ancient Israelite who launched a suicidal rebellion against the Hellenistic occupation.” In fact, Judas Maccabeus led a revolt against the Hellenistic, Seleucid King, Antiochus Epiphanes, who tried to force the Israelites to forsake their sacred laws, and their faith in God. Far from being suicidal, they achieved considerable success.
