Currently based in the Ukraine, where he is sponsored by a local far rightist, Duke has taken his anti-Jewish propaganda campaign to Russia, Europe and the Middle East during the past two years (he has also lived in Russia during this time). He has spoken at Holocaust denial conferences and other far-right events that attracted large neo-Nazi audiences.
In January 2002, Duke attended a conference in Moscow organized by Willis Carto, the prolific anti-Semitic organizer. The gathering focused on Holocaust denial and resolved that Zionism "aspires to establish world supremacy" and attempts to "destroy morality, national culture…and security of the nations" of the world. Other anti-Semitic activists attended, including Americans Michael Collins Piper and Russ Granata, as well as Swiss Holocaust denier Juergen Graf.
In May 2002, the Saudi Arabian English-language newspaper Arab News published Duke's article, "The World's Most Dangerous Terrorist." Duke claimed that Israel had "aided and abetted" the terrorists in the 9/11 attacks, and that Al-Qaeda was secretly controlled by the Mossad, Israel's intelligence agency. He joined many in the Middle East in insisting that the Mossad had warned 4,000 Jews working at the World Trade Center to stay home on the day of the attacks, while allowing thousands of innocent Americans to die. Duke's "evidence" betrayed his bigotry: a larger number of Israelis/Jews should have died in the World Trade Center, he contended, given that Jews control world finance.
Later that month, Duke conducted a workshop in Europe for his European-American Unity and Rights Organization that was simultaneously broadcast by video feed to followers in Metairie, Louisiana. In August 2002, he was a featured speaker for the National Democratic Party, a far-right German political group that enjoys a substantial neo-Nazi following. In his speech he attacked Israel and what he calls "Jewish supremacism," and lauded the Nazi armies of the Second World War as having fought for "freedom and heritage."
In November 2002 Duke was invited to the Persian Gulf country of Bahrain to discuss the "global struggle against Zionism" and to promote theories blaming Israel for the September 11 attacks, as he has in nearly all his recent appearances and writings.
