ZGram - Where Truth is Destiny

May 21, 2002

Good Morning from the Zundelsite:

Please, folks - for the record:

It's gratifying, the things we learn from our foes!

Now remember:  Barbara Amiel was the hostess at whose dinner party in 
England the comment was made about Israel being that "sh-tty little 
country" that was going to get the world involved in yet another 
world war!  You will be glad to get her slant on what the jet set 
thinks.

When the Canadian struggle around the Zundelsite was at its height 
and Ernst was facing deportation, prison and possibly murder in a 
German prison cell by Mossad agents know to have done it before, I 
wrote a long, emotional letter to Barbara Amiel, the wife of one of 
Canada's richest and most influential media moguls, pleading for an 
interview to set the record straight.  I sent it FedEx mail from 
California to make sure that it would land on her desk. 

Ernst had told me that he thought she was a fair reporter and that, 
given the many media whores that were groveling before the Canadian 
Holocaust Lobby and wouldn't have given us the time of the day, he 
thought that Amiel was "definitely a cut above." 

I am still waiting for a reply.

Unprincipled creeps!  Hypocrites - all of them!  Including Barbara Amiel. 

They wouldn't understand fairness if it bit them you-know-where!

Here you have yet another wealthy millionairess/Jewess playing the 
"poor us" violin:

The new evil empire | BARBARA AMIEL

Israel and the Jews of the diaspora have replaced South Africa as the object of
world condemnation

In the 1970s when China and the former Soviet Union quarrelled, Kremlin
etiquette required that they never talked about their hostility directly
and instead used the code word "Albania." If there was a particularly nasty
flare-up, the Kremlin would talk darkly about "Albanian deviationists."
Everyone knew that China's only allies were the Albanians, and so the game
went on. Albania was to blame for everything.

When detente took hold, Albania was put on the shelf and South Africa
became the focus of all evil. I remember a particularly moving statement by
then-sports minister Iona Campagnolo in which she declared that Canada's
Olympic athletes would compete with Soviet-bloc athletes in the finest
traditions of the Helsinki Accords, but contact between Canadian athletes
and the evil South Africans was banned.

With the end of the U.S.S.R. and the establishment of an apartheid-free
South Africa, a vacancy for a new "Albania" arose. Auditions were held. The
winner was, you bet, Israel and, by extension, the Jews of the diaspora.
Our position as the chosen people was reinforced: we were chosen to
represent evil.

Review the position of the United Nations and one horrid fact comes home.
The UN plus most of its affiliated NGOs are at war with Israel. In the past
20 years, the Security Council and the General Assembly have passed dozens
of resolutions directly against Israel and not a single resolution
condemning an Arab nation, outside of Iraq. This month's General Assembly
"Special Session on Children" had a lot of talk about the difficulties
Palestinian children face from Israel but no mention of the problems caused
Palestinian children by putting bomb factories and guerrilla groups in the
middle of their homes. Using civilians as shields is a war crime but has
only been raised by the UN, or humanitarian organizations such as Amnesty
International, Oxfam or the International Red Cross, against Israel.

The International Red Cross is unspeakable: this highly politicized
institution, having (rightly) allowed the Palestinian ambulances to use the
Red Crescent, has adamantly refused for the past 50 years to recognize the
red Star of David on Israeli ambulances. That's because it denies Israel
membership in the organization.

The most recent instances of Israel-as-Albania have come with the reporting
of the assault on Jenin and the siege of the Church of the Nativity. Unlike
in Europe and most of the world, Canada's print media did not subject
readers to days of headlines about the great Jenin massacre by the Israelis
-- the massacre that never took place. Nor did they downplay to the extent
of most of the world media the culpability of the Palestinian terrorists
who stormed the Church of the Nativity and held it as an international
hostage. But the world at large was indifferent to the genesis of the
Israelis' military action.

The first night of Passover this year was March 27th. It was on that night
that a terrorist bombing in Netanya killed 22 people and wounded 130. That
outrage sparked the Israeli army's incursions into the West Bank. When
Canada had two people kidnapped by the FLQ in 1970, Canada's government --
not a particularly militaristic one -- declared the War Measures Act and
sent the tanks onto the streets of Montreal. If those streets had been
booby-trapped the way Jenin was, civilian casualties would have been huge.

In Russia, when Chechens and Russians fight over the same piece of land,
the reaction of Moscow is brutal. When 42 people, including 17 children,
died recently in the southern Russian republic of Dagestan (next-door to
Chechnya) after a bomb was planted along a parade route, President Vladimir
Putin called the terrorists "Nazis" and promised they would take the
consequences. Those consequences are unlikely to make many waves in the UN
or NGOs.

But like the NGOs and the UN, most media throughout the world when talking
about terrorism in Israel adopt a tone so different to that used when
talking about terrorism anywhere else that you have to make the assumption
a completely different yardstick is used. Israel is now like Orwell's
Emmanuel Goldstein, a hate figure for virtually every progressive special
interest group regardless of its connection to Israel. But why?

The United Nations hates Israel and Jews because the UN is the club for and
run by the Third World. The Third World, its supporters and Europe hate
Israel because Israel is the stalking horse of America and in their eyes
America's symbol. Moreover, Israel is the only truly democratic country in
the Middle East and a representative of the very Western ideas that both
traditional dictators and the quasi-Marxist and theocratic dictators of the
Third World despise. In addition, there is a genuine element of sympathy
for the Palestinians in a conflict that has been going on over the same
piece of land for most of the 20th and now into the 21st century.

Then, of course there is genuine anti-Semitism. That virus is alive 
and kicking.
Whether, as U.S. columnist George Will wrote, it may turn out to be
stronger than the new-born state of Israel is hard to say, but on dark
days, the odds don't look very good. <end>
