For some time now, I have been itching to take the psychological temperature of the Jews, so to speak, by doing a survey of what -W9P various countries' papers are saying in their reporting and editorials. Little did I know that all I had to do was to scan an issue of "Response", titling itself the Wiesenthal Center World Report, Winter-Spring issue, 1999.
It is quite apparent that the Jewish grip on world affairs is weakening, as inferred by their own quotes, many of them lifted from other countries; papers. There is a lot of oy vey'ing. This comes as no surprise to me, since my world-wide media monitors have been shipping me similar quotes for many months already. One might speculate that soon the good rabbis of the Simon Wiesenthal Centers will run out of fingers to plug up the holes in the dikes.
There were so many telling quotes in this one issue that I decided to make two Yammering Yarmulkes ZGrams out of them. The first one deals with Eastern bloc countries, Germany and Canada. The second one contains the quotes gleaned from the Arab countries.
I am offering these quotes without ado and without further comment except to divide them by country. As before, I urge friend and foe to read between the lines.
"For all the important changes in the post Cold War era, antisemitism has once again emerged in the body politic of Russia, with the epithet of "zhid" being hurled not only by latter-day fascists but by respected Communist members of Russia."
"The Wiesenthal Center is beefing up its presence in the former Eastern bloc and is closely monitoring developments."
"All the yids should be in graves," he threatened, and told the Italian newspaper, La Stampa, that he demands quotas on the numbers of Jews in Russia's state organizations. Two days later, he appeared unrepentant and called Jews "bloodsuckers" on a television talk show."
"It's time to drive all the Jews from Russia" blare headlines in too many newspapers. "Beat the yids, save Russia!" yell participants in a local demonstration. "all the yids should be in graves," declares a Communist lawmaker, after which a democratic leader who condemned the remarks is found murdered."
"The Wiesenthal Center dispatched senior officials to Moscow for meeting with Russian leaders and launched a campaign among its membership on Capitol Hill against the distressing trend in Russia."
"Zionism is a blood relative of fascisim. The only difference between them is that where Hitlerian Nazism appeared under the mask of German nationalism attempting to subjugate the world openly, Zionists, appearing under the mask of Jewish nationalism, act in secret and employ the hands of others, (Communist leader Germady Zyuganov) charged."
"Some of the recent headlines from Russia read: "Russia for Russians: it's time to drive all the Jews from Russia."
"As we go to press, the Duma was discussing legislation to combat extremism without any sign of a majority in favor of its passage."
"The Ukrainian-American Bureau for Human Rights and Rule of Law claims that the level of antisemitic propaganda is rising in the Ukraine. Antisemitic articles have appeared in the L'viv newspaper Za Vilnu Ikrainu and the Kiew-based Vecherny Kiew. Other publications accuse Jews of all the existing problems of solid development, using stereotypes of Jews that date back to the time of the Czars and the Communist era."
"The Wiesenthal Center called upon the Latvian President Ulmanis to apologize for an advertisement published in his name in the Israeli daily, Ha-Aretz, which dealt with Latvian-Jewish relations but omitted any reference to the Holocaust and the participation of Latvians in the murder of Jews during WWII."
"In neighboring Lithuania, the trial of Nazi war criminal, Aleksandras Likaikis, has spawned renewed antisemitism in the Lithuanian media and elsewhere. . . Demonstrations by local neo-Nazis in support of Lileikas featured slogans against the Wiesenthal Center and demands for the prosecution of "Jewish Communists" who allegedly committed crimes against Lithuanians."
"(A) local paper asked, "the logical question is who the prosecution stands for, the Lithuanian state or the Center of Wiesenthal, who slanders the Lithuanian nation?" On the letters page of the magazine, Veidas, Gintaras Binkauskas, leader of the group "Young Generation," wrote, "They (Jews) are not satisfied with (an) apology, they want us to feel guilty until the end of the world. . . " Such sentiment is reflected in a poll published in Veidas, where 42 percent of those responding said they did not think that Lithuanians were responsible for Jewish genocide; only 11% said they were."
"Although the Center, in principle, favors the investigation of historic crimes, it opposes the linking together of the crimes of the Holocaust with those committed by the Communists because such linkage has been used time and again by Lithuanian apologists to justify Lithuanian participation in the mass murder of Jews."
"With the election of Gerhard Schroeder as the new Chancellor of Germany, observers have been keeping a close watch on how the new administration would deal with the legacy of the Holocaust."
"(A) recent poll among Berliners indicates that a majority are against the Holocaust memorial. This is not surprising in a country where polls show 30% of Germans have antisemitic feelings, and where another poll showed almost 20 percent of 14-17 year olds have no idea what Auschwitz was. Another 18 percent of those who had heard of the camp thought reports about what happened there were exaggerated."
"The (Washington, D.C.) conference also urged archives around the world to open for Holocaust research by the end of 1999, but many countries and the Vatican have so far refused."
"National Front leader Jean-Marie Le Pen has once again trivialized the Holocaust."
"The National Front weekly newspaper, National Hebdo, recently carried a front-page article that asserted, among other things, that the Nazi methods were 'indispensable tools for a just cause."...National Hebdo added a footnote telling "leftist journalists" that its wording had been carefully chosen. "It is intended to remind us that the shameless exploitation of the Holocaust has served, among other things, to render unthinkable the use of certain indispensable tools for a just cause."
"Hundreds of crosses still stand on the ground of the Auschwitz death camp. A Polish priest was suspended by his bishop for his part in planting a cross."
"(T)he Polish president also said Poland feels the weight of responsibility to ensure that the memory of Holocaust victims and the death camp sites are respected, but conceded that "antisemitism in Poland is emerging."
"(T)he Center urged the French government to disassociate itself from the antisemitic and revisionist language of Mohamed Salmawy, editor of Al-Aram Hebdo. . . (who) attacked the Wiesenthal Center as "a Jew-Zionist organization of France...funded by a man who transformed it into a court of inquisition. We have no need to add that it is far from any objectivity or honesty in research...How could (the Academie Fran×aise) submit itself to the pressures of pro-Israeli Jews (openly or in secret) repeating the disinformation of the Israeli Prime Minister?"
Canada
"Because of the Wiesenthal Center's close monitoring of the Internet, the Center has been able to play a very active role in the proceedings. Over 4,000 pages of material downloaded from the Zundel site (sic) has been shared with the Human Rights Commission's lawyers. The Center has also been granted status - the equivalent of serving as a friend of the court in the United States - and is entitled to question witnesses and offer opinions on point of law."
"This is the first time that the issue of hate on the Internet is being dealt with in a Canadian legal process and the Commission's findings will greatly influence what may and may not be placed on the Internet in Canada."
Thought for the Day:
"Where democracy is strong, it's good for the Jews; where it is weak, it's bad for the Jews."
(Simon Wiesenthal)
