From Germany comes word that there is great oy veying because the Berlin authorities authorized the open demonstration yesterday against the planned Holocaust memorial. Comparisons are being drawn that January 30, 1933 (!) is a date that has raised many eyebrows.
Also, a Reuters release, dated today and titled "Syrian Newspaper Calls Holocaust a 'Myth'" just floated onto my desk and needs to be commented on. What did we tell you? The House of Cards is about to cave in:
Reuters:
DAMASCUS, Syria (Reuters) - An official Syrian newspaper on Monday described the Holocaust as a myth, accusing Israel of exaggerating the extent of the Nazi slaughter of Jews to gain Western support and contain its opponents.
Zundelsite:
Looks like Syria is using a reverse "Auschwitz Keule" (Auschwitz club") - playing the revisionist card in its negotiations with Israel, applying a little psychological pressure on Mr. Barak's bunch who want to blackmail America for a cool $100 billion to give up the stolen Golan Heights.
Reuters:
"Why does Israel insist on bringing up this alleged Holocaust policy?" the editor of the state newspaper Tishreen, Mohamed Kheir al-Wadi, wrote.
'I believe Israel and the Zionist organizations have two aims. The first is to receive more money from Germany and other Western establishments on the pretext of compensation for the Holocaust.
'The second aim is to invest the myth of the Holocaust and accuse anyone opposed to Zionism and its expansionist policies of anti-Semitism.'
Zundelsite:
Right on target! That's the first time in 50 years that an official state organ anywhere has spoken that freely and bluntly about Israel's "use" or "instrumentalization of the Holocaust" - to quote Martin Walser, famed German writer.
Reuters:
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak's office had no immediate comment on the article, but the Jerusalem office of the Nazi-hunting Simon Wiesenthal Center called the comments ''government-sanctioned Holocaust denial.''
Zundelsite:
It was only a matter of time! It had to happen sooner or later!
Reuters:
The center's Israel director, Efraim Zuroff, said the article appeared designed to touch a raw Israeli nerve at a time of difficulty in peace talks between Syria and the Jewish state.
Zundelsite:
A "raw Israeli nerve"? They never gave a thought to the fact that all that vilification they heaped on the Germans would touch a raw nerve! Well, it did - and the Germans are not likely to forget or to forgive!
Reuters:
'The only explanation for such a thing is that the Syrians are upping the ante and trying to disparage Israel in one of Israel's most sacred principles,' Zuroff told Reuters.
'We view this with particular severity because this reflects a deeply ingrained anti-Semitism and does not bode well for the peace process. You can't make peace with a country that denies the Holocaust,' he said.
Zundelsite:
So Israel has elevated its extortion racket to a "sacred" policy? You can't make peace with a country that denies the Holocaust? In that case, Israel better prepare for a thousand years of war, for in another few years, no country will believe this clap trap!
Reuters:
The unusually strong Syrian attack at a sensitive time in Middle East peace negotiations followed a major conference on the Holocaust which ended in Stockholm last week.
Participants from 48 countries pledged to ensure that World War Two atrocities, including the Nazi slaughter of Jews, remained in the spotlight.
The newspaper charged that Israel had convened the conference to further Jewish lies about the Holocaust in the face of credible voices questioning it, including that of the controversial British historian David Irving.
Zundelsite:
This is pretty blunt - even for the Syrians. Will the Iranians and the Iraqis and the Egyptians be far behind? Irving has kicked loose an avalanche - will it bury the lie and the liars?
Reuters:
'Zionism is erasing from human memory 50 million Nazi victims and concentrating on the suffering of Jews, although historical facts prove that Zionism leaders then collaborated with the Nazis for the Jewish problem to get worse,' Tishreen said.
'Zionism hides these dark pages of its history, blackens them completely and invents stories about the Holocaust and exaggerates it to astronomical levels,' it said.
Zundelsite:
They obviously read Tom Segev's "The Seventh Million" in that newspaper office, for that Jewish journalist details the collaboration of the Third Reich with Ben Gurion and Golda Meir's outfits to get the Jews out of Europe. They are obviously wise to the numbers game played by the Israeli and its Lobby.
Reuters:
Syria and Israel agreed to restart peace negotiations in December and concluded two rounds of talks in the United States.
But a third round failed to go ahead this month after Syria said it had not received guarantees from Israel indicating willingness to withdraw from the whole of the Golan Heights, captured from Syria in the 1967 Middle East war.
Zundelsite:
Maybe the Americans will be lucky. Maybe no deal will be struck, and the American taxpayers won't have to cough up $100 billion to pay off the blackmailers.
Reuters:
Israel wants to discuss security arrangements and other elements of a peace deal first.
Zundelsite:
No they don't! They want to see the cash first! Money talks in Tel Aviv. The so-called "peace process" is only the "milking machine" attached to the udder of the Americans and Germans.
Reuters:
Syria maintains that Israel is not showing real intent to make peace, accusing it of continuing to oppress the Palestinians and expanding its arsenal using Western aid.
Zundelsite:
Good point. Well stated. Nothing to add to this one.
Reuters:
'Israel, which is presenting itself as heir to the victims of the Holocaust, committed and keeps on committing against the Arabs crimes that are uglier than the ones committed by the old Nazis.'
Zundelsite:
The spoiled Israeli won't like that comparison! Can air strikes on Damascus be far off?
Reuters:
;The Nazis, for example, did not drive out a whole nation from their homeland and did not bury people alive, which is what the Zionists did,' said Tishreen.
Zundelsite:
The gloves have come off! The Germans would call this "starker Tabak" - pretty strong tobacco.
Let's see what happens next.

Thought for the Day:
"The Sydney Jewish News of Friday JANUARY 7th 2000 in an article on Page 17 entitled 'MOST INFLUENTIAL JEWS OF THE CENTURY' admits in the first paragraph, that Jews world-wide made a concerted effort to prevent ADOLF HITLER being named 'Man of the Century' in the Time magazine poll.. They do however admit that he was 'for better or worse one of the men who definitely influenced the course of history.'"
