I am to blame

YOU

Take my water.
Burn my olive trees.
Destroy my house.
Take my job.
Steal my land.
Imprison my father.
Kill my mother.
Bomb my country.
Starve us all.
Humiliate us all.

BUT

I am to blame:
I shot a rocket back.

"Definition of antisemitic has changed"


One of the last remaining Auschwitz survivors has launched a blistering attack on Israel over its occupation of Palestine, The Herald reports. Dr Hajo Meyer, 86, sparked a furious reaction from hardline Jewish lobby groups, with Dr Meyer branded an "anti-Semite" and accused of abusing his position as a Holocaust survivor.

Dr Meyer said there were parallels between the treatment of Jews by the Nazis and the treatment of Palestinians by Israelis. "The Israelis tried to dehumanise the Palestinians, just like the Nazis tried to dehumanise me. Nobody should dehumanise any other and those who try to dehumanise another are not human," he said.

Dr Meyer also insisted the definition of "antisemitic" had now changed. "Formerly an antisemite was somebody who hated Jews because they were Jews and had a Jewish soul. But nowadays an antisemite is somebody who is hated by Jews," the 86-year-old death camp survivor said as he began a lecture tour of Scotland.

"Maybe we should start calling "real anti-semitism" by another name," one internet commentator suggested. "Maybe something that does not suggest that the plight of this one group of people is completely unconnected to the plight of others? This may sound crazy, but I suggest the term racism."

Reality has an anti-Israel bias
Media_httpshalomravfi_cqgvx

Israel's leading newspaper, Haaretz, calls a Canadian novel "anti-Israel" because it describes how IDF soldiers and Israeli settlers harass Palestinian farmers. The novel, "The Shepherd’s Granddaughter" by Canadian author Anne Laurel Carter, tells the tale of a Palestinian girl in the West Bank who wants to become a shepherd. She encounters violent Jewish settlers and Israeli soldiers, who poison her sheep, bulldoze her house, shoot and kill her dog, prevent her family from harvesting their olives, and beat and jail her father and uncle.

Zionist-Putinist alliance against "falsification of history"

"[There is an] ongoing campaign to rewrite WWII history by mitigating Nazism, insisting that communism's evils be proclaimed "equal" to Nazism, and trashing the Allied war effort as one that did nothing but replace one tyranny with another "equal" one in the east," writes Dovid Katz, professor of Judaic studies at Vilnius University and research director at the Vilnius Yiddish Institute.

The peoples of eastern Europe suffered enormously under communism for decades after the war, while we westerners were enjoying unbridled freedom and prosperity. It is absolutely right that they should now call for thorough investigation of the crimes committed by communist regimes. But the demand that the entire EU declare Nazism and communism to be "equal" is something else entirely.

The east European cabal's greatest success to date is the Prague Declaration, which demands that the EU recognise communism and fascism as a "common legacy", and that "all European minds" think that way. Its practical demands include a new Nuremberg-type tribunal for trying the criminals of communism and, unbelievably, a demand for the "overhaul of European history textbooks."

The entire "red-equals-brown" movement within eastern Europe panders to base instincts. It has hit upon a convenient way to stigmatise not only "Russians", but also today's Russia. These nations have every right to fear Russia, but this legitimate concern must not be compromised by the attempts of some at historical falsification and the peddling of contemporary racism and antisemitism.
