JewWatch.com was established in 1998 and formerly owned and maintained by Frank Weltner, a member of the National Alliance, a white nationalist organization. Now owned by James Stenzel, it claims to be ostensibly a “scholarly resource” of information about the Jewish people and “worldwide Zionist criminality,” but it is in reality the internet’s first and foremost source of hateful misinformation against the Jews.
Jewwatch.com describes its objective as: "Keeping a close watch on Jewish communities, organizations, monopoly, banking, and media control worldwide." It tries to come across as educated, professional and scholarly, as an “oasis of news for Americans who presently endure the hateful censorship of Zionist occupation.”
It is, however, a conspiracy theory site filled with empty propaganda and some of the shoddiest research. JewWatch is built around the theory that there is a well-organized, elite wealthy group of Jews trying to take over the world with allegations that Jews control the media and banking industries, and accusations of Jewish involvement in terrorist groups. It also makes the suggestion that global Jewry is the driving force behind both global capitalism and communism.
The site was at the center of an international internet petition to have Google remove it from its search results because a search for the word 'Jew' on Google had JewWatch.com as the first Web site listed in 2004. (It currently ranks second, after a Wikipedia entries on Jews). This high ranking is due to its centrality to the anti-Semitic community which resulted in a Google bomb caused by its many links to news sources, weblogs, and general information sites.
The campaign ultimately resulted in Google adding an explanation to its searches that results are based entirely on computer algorithms and are not a reflection of prejudices or racism at the world’s leading internet search company.
When one opens the website, the front page begins with:

JewWatch.com organizes its anti-Semitic materials in the same way a popular Web directory might group more benign information: with an archive of writings, articles, videos, and links. Topic headings include: Jewish Controlled Press, Jewish Entertainment, Jewish Banking & Financial Manipulations, Jewish-Zionist-Soviet Anti-American Spies, Jewish Communist Rulers & Killers, Jewish Terrorists, Zionist Occupied Governments, Jewish Communists, Jewish Atrocities, and so on.
Accusations are made that Jews were behind the terrors caused by Russia's Communist regime through the actions of "All Anti-Christian Jewish Red Commissars" who killed 100 million Christians in Russia from 1917-1945 under the orders of "Trotsky, the Jewish Commissar of Commissars". "Jewish Genocides Today and Yesterday" describes an alleged Jewish plan to deport non-Jews from the U.S. in 1946. "90% of All United States News-papers Are Owned and Run by Jews" repeats the oft-heard charge that Jews run the media, and "The Rothschild Internationalist-Zionist- Banking-One World Order Family" claims that Jews control the world of finance.
The site links to others which speculate that Jews have committed or are planning genocide against the Palestinian people. The site also promotes Holocaust denial, maintaining that the Holocaust either never happened or was greatly exaggerated. Adolf Hitler's writings, transcripts of Father Charles Coughlin's anti-Semitic radio broadcasts, and the text of Henry Ford Sr.'s bigoted International Jew are all available at Jew Watch as well.
Supposedly Jewwatch.com operator Frank Weltner's YouTube account was suspended on November 16, 2007. But irrespective of the news stories about the closure, the videos of Frank Weltner can still be accessed on YouTube, including “Zionist News,” and a connection is provided to the videos of Jewwatch.com. The site managed to get thousands of views per day, have thousands of subscribers, and whenever a new video was uploaded, it almost instantly got 30,000 viewers.
A scandal involving the website occurred in 2006 when it was found out that solicitations for donations to aid victims of Hurricane Katrina were being redirected to Jew Watch. St. Louis City Circuit Judge Julian L. Bush permanently barred Frank Weltner and his site InternetDonation.org from soliciting funds in Missouri for charitable purposes because Frank Weltner had set up multiple websites soliciting funds for Katrina victims and then redirected those wishing to donate to his site that collected money for JewWatch.
Frank Weltner in 2010, while still owner of JewWatch.com, faced child pornography charges after police searched his Saint Louis home. Hundreds of images of child pornography were located within the confiscated devices belonging to Frank Weltner. He was charged with several counts of possession of child pornography as well as accessing child pornography.
After his problems with the police, Frank Weltner sold the website to James Stenzel. In August 2011, Weltner was quoted as being pessimistic about the future of America. “Talking about white nationalism, he repeated what he said last time we spoke. He's out of it. Frank says America is doomed, there's no point to saving it. He gestured to the Aldi's clientele: asians, blacks with their niglets, hispanics. "This is America," he said, "there's nothing to save. They're all over. Whites doomed themselves."
James Stenzel, the new owner of JewWatch, continued the anti-Semitic emphasis on the website. He described his views on his Yahoo group site: I have long admired the creator of jewwatch [Frank Weltner] for his chutspa, his fortitude, his perspicacity and his unflagging devotion.
The nation of Israel is not, in my opinion, an ally of the United States. While I might stop short of describing the U.S. as a colony of Israel, I think it's pretty obvious to anyone who takes a good long look at the "special relationship" enjoyed by Israel with the United States that it's a one-sided relationship where all benefits flow from the U.S. and many liabilities come to the U.S.
It's my personal viewpoint (as it is claimed to be of many of the more radical zionazis, I might add!) that Israel needs to become independent of the United States.
My view on Jewish citizens of the United States is that they should not be allowed to hold dual citizenship (nor should anyone) and I often wonder as I hear them complaining interminably about supposed wrongs against them and their general group at the hands of supposed "anti-Semites" here, why they do not emmigrate from here and immigrate to the land which was created by the rest of the world for them to go and be safe in. I'm not saying I think they should be forced to go there, just that I wonder why they don't.
I strongly suspect it's something to do with there being a great benefit to Israel to have a lot of people with a personal stake in Israel acting on it's behalf here, advocating aid for it or even just providing a sympathetic example for what an "Israeli" might be like to gentiles considering the issue to use in judging whether or not they should be for continuation of the "special relationship" Israel enjoys with the United States.
