Goodson had stated that the Holocaust was "a huge lie" as "the principle is to extract enormous sums of money from the Germans as compensation", blaming international bankers. Goodson authored a book titled Bonaparte & Hitler Versus the International Bankers where he maintained World War II was provoked by the economic success of Germany, and he has also criticized the political actions of Jewish bankers, posting his views on like-minded websites.[5] As a result, the South African Israel Public Affairs Committee called for the Reserve Bank to fire him for his statements, considered to be pro-Nazi.[6][7][8][9]
