As promised, here is Zundel-Haus October Power Letter excerpt # 2: Title: "Telling it the way it is":
There have been a number of absolutely astonishing admissions by prominent Jews about both Jewish meddling and Jewish fears about the irresponsible wielding of Jewish influence and power, written up in various papers. Here I will mention only two:
For instance, Alain Finkielkraut, a French-Jewish philosopher at the famous Ecole Polytechnique in Paris., spills the beans in Le Monde of October 7, 1998, as was sent to me in a translation by Dr. Faurisson:
Here (Finkielkraut) takes the defense of Monsigneur Stepinac (1896 - 1960) attacked by the Jews as having supposedly been an Antisemite at the time of Anke Pavelic in Croatia. The title means: "Monsigneur Stepinac and Europe's two griefs." Those two griefs were fascism and communism.
The beginning of the article is worth quoting all over the world. It says:
"Ah, how sweet it is to be Jewish at the end of this 20th century! We are no longer history's accused, but its darlings. The spirit of the time loves, honours, and defends us, watches over our interests, it even needs our imprimatur. Journalists draw up ruthless indictments against all that Europe has in the way of collaborators or nostalgics for the Nazi era. Churches repent, States do penance, Switzerland no longer knows where to stand..."
An even more telling article came out in the Jewish publication Forward of September 4, 1998, which exposes the media terror and blackmail against the Swiss. It is an absolutely astonishing article - full of chutzpah on one hand and palpable fear on the other. A remarkable article, quoting a kind of stream-of-consciousness interview with Abe Foxman, head honcho of the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai Brith.
I quote selected paragraphs:
Title: "We Bludgeoned Them and Bludgeoned Them. . . But at What Price?"
QUOTE: "The 50th anniversary of the end of the war, I went to Europe. I was invited to Germany and I said, yech, I don't want to be there, commemorating 50 years of the end of the war. I was invited to Russia, and I wasn't comfortable going there. But I didn't want to be here. It meant too much to mark that period. So I went to Brussels, where I was able to watch on television everywhere. And then I was hit with a question: Is it over? . . . The question is, is there a commemoration, or are we finished with the era? And I walked away feeling that it was over, that all these countries commemorated the closing of an era, and all of them wanted to move on."
QUOTE: "This generation of Germans is not that generation of Germans. So I went. I met with students at their West Point - Bundeswehr University - and at one point, one of the cadets said to me, 'Herr Foxman, it's over.' "And I said, 'I understand that you want it to be over. But it's not over for you, because it's not over for me. . . . You're going to have to wait a generation or two.'"
QUOTE: ". . . whether it's this whole issue of money, reparations, gold, 50 years later what is supposed to be over is in fact all around us. "Around us because documents are being revealed, they're being sold, they're being released, they're being opened. And I'm troubled as to how this third generation after is dealing with it. "One major issue that gnaws at me is this whole issue of material claims. I still remember the conversations around the dinner table. Yes to take reparations, no to take reparations. There was simultaneously a very wrenching debate in Israel, whether Israel should take reparations. And by God, Israel needed it. I remember Menachim Begin stood there and said, no, it's blood money, it will ease conscience. It will buy forgiveness, which you can't sell."
QUOTE: "We have to remember why, why we're dealing with it now. Now, there are some practical reasons, and that is, after 50 years, the British opened up some of their books. The Soviet Union disarray has made documents available to be bought."
QUOTE: "It's important to have an accounting and accountability. Not only for the victims, not only for the loss, but as a message for the future, in that it's important for people to know if you do evil, if you rob, if you steal, you're going to pay a price. The Bible says the greatest crime is to steal from those who are weak."
QUOTE: "But I was from the first day on concerned about the price we may be paying, knowing that we cannot obtain justice. How do you ever find out what was destroyed in the records, destroyed and hidden for 50 years? How do you put a price on the life of a child that the Swiss turned back at the border? How do you put a price on that? We know we can't. I was concerned that a protracted discussion and debate on that issue would bring about a high price for the Jewish people and for history and for memory. And so, from day one, I convinced the leadership of the ADL to take a role. What motivated me is to say that this debate, this issue, prolonged, will so skew the Holocaust that I fear that the last sound bite of this century on the Holocaust will be not that Jews died because they were Jews but that Jews died because they had money. And the more the news, the more the coverage, what is it? Jews and their bank accounts. Jews and their gold, gold fillings, art, musical instruments. Now we're talking about property, buildings. And you keep repeating it, at a time when most people don't know, don't understand, there's Holocaust denial, and you will establish that sound bite out there."
QUOTE: "We went to Switzerland two years ago. And we said to them, don't deal with this legally, deal with this morally. I'm sorry they didn't listen because it would have prevented some of that anguish. And they would have prevented some of the bludgeoning. I continue to be worried that this is just the beginning. People are talking about insurance, banks factories, musical instruments. Some people are saying they want a museum. I don't want a museum of stolen Stradivariuses or Picassos with a little plaque saying this belonged to. . . who died. . . I want a museum on the Holocaust, but not that."
"Some lawyers see this as a lifetime's opportunity. Some politicians see this as a way to money and election. . . I don't want it to be anybody's ticket. I say this with a lot of trepidation because, in a way, it started with the World Jewish Congress, and if the American government was not willing to go forward as it did, by instructing and empowering Stu Eizenstat to do the research, to do the work, if the politicians like D'Amato didn't take up the cudgels, we wouldn't have 1.25 billion, there's no question in my mind. We were asking the Swiss to do something that's very difficult. Here we, the Jewish people, say that we do not visit the sins of the parents on their children. And yet, we were pointing a finger at those children and saying, these were not your sins, but we will judge you by how you deal with the sins of your parents. You know what it is to ask people to look back at their parents, their grandparents and their aunts and uncles and wake up in the morning and find out that they were greedy, that they weren't the heroes that stood up for freedom and liberty and neutrality. It's a very difficult thing to do. And I don't think we did it with the greatest finess. We bludgeoned them and bludgeoned them and bludgeoned them. It brought about results, but I still ask the question, at what price?"
QUOTE: "I worry about the price that we may be paying. . . And if we're talking about the morality of it, somehow it's getting lost. And now, all those who fought us on this issue are waiting to see how the Jewish community is going to go to war with itself, looking, almost with a smirk, expecting the war of the Jews on how to deal with the money. God forbid. God forbid."
QUOTE: ". . . what I would really be pleased with would be if the Swiss came together with us and said: now we have to educate the Swiss people that the Jews are not our enemy, that it wasn't blackmail, but that it was a moral debt that we should have paid on our own and not have been forced into having to pay."
