Kevin MacDonald visited in Stockholm
The location had to be kept secrets, if it had been disclosed pro-Zionist groups might try to sabotage the event, as they have done many times before. 

As schoolchildren in Sweden we are taught to be critical is a virtue. But when we grow up we realize that you are only supposed to criticize dead and powerless ideologies, not the living, powerful ones. We are encouraged to question the Inquisition of the Catholic Church, which no longer exists, but not the Holocaust Inquisition, which is active today. That is why meetings like these have to be arranged in secret. 

In his lecture MacDonald went through some parts of his book The Culture of Critique. It has been translated into Swedish by the Swedish scholar Lars Adelskogh, a well known critic of Zionism. 

MacDonald is an evolutionary psychologist and so he analyzes Jewish intellectual movements from this perspective, i.e. as a “group evolutionary strategy”. But even if you don’t agree with this perspective you can benefit from his research since it maps Jewish intellectual movements, like Marxism, Freudian psychoanalysis, the Frankfurt School and American neo-conservatism, and their influence on Western culture. These movements were designed, consciously or unconsciously, to advance Jewish interests. 

In his presentation MacDonald also discussed the extreme ethnocentrism in the Jewish community, which has enabled the racist politics against Arabs in Palestine. He also talked briefly about the Israel Lobby in the USA and their role in creating hostility towards the Muslim world, especially Iran. I think MacDonalds research is a quit indispensable to any serious Anti-Zionist Movement. Middle Eastern media would, according to my assessment, gain a lot from giving him more attention. 

The book The Culture of Critique has had quite an impact on the Swedish Anti-Zionist milieu and is constantly finding its way to new readers, both Muslim and non-Muslim. It should be translated into Persian and Arabic as soon as possible.
