". . . intellectually dishonest for the president to discuss the move to eliminate affirmative action within the context of a hate-crimes speech."
And, furthermore, he said:
"The president's effort, which is transparent - which is to render the abolition of racial and gender preferences as an aspect of hate crimes in the United States - is an indignity in terms of his office."
Of course there is a big push on in the United States for "Hate Crimes"
legislation. More and more people are calling it "Goy Control"
legislation. At the grassroot level, Clinton is so hated that his very advocacy
will be a boomerang - regardless of the merits or demerits of such legislation.
* On June 11, 1997, the NY Times ran an article by Ian Simpson that Swiss
banks
". . . recently found hundreds of accounts that might belong to Holocaust victims, but the head of an investigative panel and a Swiss bank group denied the report.
A spokesman for the Swiss Bankers Association said the story of recently discovered accounts of Holocaust victims had been 'taken from thin air.'
Volcker said Swiss banks did not present evidence at the Jerusalem and Bern hearings. 'This idea that they whispered in our ear in Bern or Jerusalem that they had made some new discoveries is not right,' he said.
* Meanwhile, in Switzerland the atmosphere gets curiouser and curiouser
in the Alice-in-Wonderland mode.
One Swiss theatre, for instance, is helping the good Swiss to "face
up to anti-Semitism."
A Reuter article by Alice Ratcliffe describing how it's done (June 10, 1997)
starts out predictably:
"Crowds packed a theatre in Zurich to see an unusual show tackling the sensitive issue of Swiss anti-Semitism, something particularly painful in a country still struggling to come to terms with its wartime relations with Nazi Germany.
Opening in Zurich on Monday night, the work entitled 'I Don't Have Anything Against Jews, But. . . ' will continue in other Swiss cities, putting the Holocaust centre stage by holding up an anti-Semitic mirror to Swiss society."
This show, apparently, uses ethnic jokes in poorest taste and ends with
a chorus: "We are back! Heil Hitler!''
The last line in that show is lifted from a French author, Edmund Jabes,
quoted as:
"If you cannot accept people different than you, there can be
no real dialogue.''
Does that not sound as though he might have borrowed it from us? We're different
- and we want a dialogue! And not any old dialogue, either.
We want a proper dialogue in a global court in front of the eyes of the
world - and we want to be judged not by extortionists who yell, scream,
spit, beat, burn, bomb, imprison critics of the Holocaust and sometimes
even murder them, BUT BY A JURY OF OUR PEERS!

Thought for the Day:
"People will no longer let themselves be called anti-Jewish or anti-Semitic for saying that a Jew is singing out of tune!"
