Good Morning from the Zundelsite:

Many of my letters came in response to a previous ZGram that had commented on a reader's perception that we ought not to be so blatantly "anti-Semitic" because it weakens our credibility and effectiveness.

Since I am interested in strengthening our credibility and effectiveness, I am open to a pacifist approach. In fact, one of my readers from our gracious South has taken time and thought and has already kind of sketched out a "ground plan" I like an awful lot. It has good common sense and logic. He has a special affinity for the word "Saxon" where I would use "Gentile," but that's a technicality-a general principle applies.

I call his plan the "Tit-for-Tat Approach":

". . . There are certain things we can concede.

We can concede that the Jews are a nation are entitled to the rights of nations. As a nation they are entitled to a country where they can worship their god and practice their thing.
Naturally, we Saxons ask the same.
Stop acts and statements considered "anti-Semitic"? Fine. We can agree to that. Of course, we expect the same treatment.
We stop "anti-Semitism" and they stop "anti-Saxonism."
Also, we agree not to demand that there be Saxon-Christians placed in Israeli goverment - if they will reciprocate.
We agree not to monopolize their media (in Israel)- if they will not monopolize ours.
We agree not to persecute (Israelis) speaking out against Christian intolerance - if they will agree not to persecute Christians speaking out against (Israeli) intolerance. . . "

This is a list that needs to be expanded. This is fair play. The same rules for everyone. This should be agreeable and make everyone happy. Give and take.

The Jews, Arabs, Japanese, Chinese, and blacks are generally separatists. Many practice their separatism. We think that that they have every right to do so - if Gentiles have that same right, too. . .

I like this strategy, and I would like to write an article around it for the hard copy media. Any additional ideas?

Please submit them posthaste to your good California scribe.
