From the Sunday News:

NZ race-hate website being investigated
13 August 2006

Police are investigating a race-hate website targeting New Zealand Jews.

Sunday News was alerted to the site - set up by Wellington-based national socialist Nic Miller - after personal details of four Jewish families living in the city were posted on it.

The postings were removed last night after Sunday News confronted Miller, 22, telling him we were going to publicise his shocking website blog, which still contains pages of derogatory comments about Jews and other minorities.

One of the four Wellington addresses posted on Miller’s website was the home of Professor Peter Munz, who escaped Hitler’s gas chambers.

“This man (Miller) is really dumb but he really ought to be prosecuted because it’s a deeply offensive website,” Munz, 85, told Sunday News.

“I’m not a Zionist, that’s the funny part.

“This chap is so uneducated he doesn’t know the difference between Jews and Zionists (who believe Jews should gather together in a homeland, ie Israel).

“I find it deeply disturbing a fellow like this should be allowed to walk free in New Zealand.

“I was born in Germany and if Hitler had got hold of me when I was little, he would probably have gassed me.”

Munz escaped with his family to Italy before coming to New Zealand as a refugee in 1940.

Two other Jewish home-owners identified on Miller’s website declined to comment, saying they were concerned for their safety and that of their families. They had been made aware of the website a fortnight ago and had complained to police.

New Zealand race relations commissioner Joris de Bres said he was appalled by the race-hate site.

“It’s revolting and horrible stuff,” de Bres said. “I felt quite sick when I saw it.”

The commissioner contacted the police as soon as he was made aware the site was identifying Jewish people’s homes.

“It is quite clearly inciting you to do something and it’s totally unacceptable,” he said.

“I think most New Zealanders think it’s sickening.

“It’s incredibly important the police deal with these issues in a way that gives a sense of security to the Jewish community.”

Contacted yesterday, Lower Hutt aluminium machinist Miller said he didn’t know his website was being investigated by police.

Miller said he had posted details of people who had written letters to a newspaper regarding Israel.

He said he was not encouraging anyone to act against the Jewish people whose details - including names, photos, addresses and telephone numbers - he posted on his site.

“I distance myself from any harassment from individuals or criminal activity whatsoever,” he said.

He said his own privacy had been compromised by critics of his beliefs.

“People do flyer drops against me, saying I’m a Nazi and kick over Jew graves and ridiculous accusations like that,” Miller said.

He was unrepentant in his hatred of Jews.

“I’m anti-semitic. I do not like the Jews, not one bit,” he said.

“They should have been exterminated.

“Jews being in New Zealand is harassment to me. They do not belong here.”

Miller said he was ready for any police action on his website.

“The police are welcome to look into it,” he said.

“I am ready to face whatever happens over this.”
