David Duke attended a one-day conference on June 3 titled “Zionism As the Biggest Threat to Modern Civilization,” sponsored by the Interregional Academy of Personnel Management (MAUP), a major private university in the Ukraine, known for its support of anti-Semitism and extremist views. Duke has been a lecturer at MAUP, which has also published some of his writings in their publication, “Personnel.” Several Ukrainian public figures and politicians participated in the conference, including Levko Lukyanenko, a member of parliament, former ambassador to Canada, and a leading political figure in the present regime. The conference was also attended by Israel Shamir, an anti-Semitic writer. Duke is quoted as saying: “We will hope that people wake up before everything is lost… We as nationalities that make up the majority in our countries are very soft on minorities—sympathy towards them has long past the point of insanity.” Another speaker allegedly called for the deportation of Ukrainian Jews.
