ZGram - Revisionist Week in Review

September 2, 2001

Good Morning from the Zundelsite:

All this week, the havoc at the United Nations' Anti-Racism Conference in
Durban, South Africa was dominating the news.  CNN ran one of its quick
Internet polls on August 29, 2001, asking:  "Should the U.S. participate in
the U.N. conference on racism if conference documents condemn Israel?"

Yes     58%     1306 votes
No   42%     941 votes

Total:  2247 votes

=====

Thousands have taken to the streets of Durban in solidarity with the
Palestinian cause.  Around 10,000 mainly Muslim demonstrators brandished
placards and shouted anti-Zionist slogans.

''It was awful,'' Keith Landy, president of the Canadian Jewish Congress,
told The Canadian Press from Durban. ''The conference has been hijacked by
certain interest groups and the
atmosphere has become oppressive and anti-Semitic.''

A coalition of Jewish groups had called a news conference to complain about
harassment and discrimination, but before the groups could complete their
presentation, Arab activists became unruly, shouting, singing and pushing
in front of the speakers.  The news conference was aborted in haste.

For his part, Frank Dimant, executive vice-president of B'nai Brith Canada
said in a press release: ''The events of the last few days shame and
dishonour the United Nations. ... It is very difficult to respect UN
decisions relating to Israel when its silence on Jewish human rights issues
is so complete that a UN conference is allowed to degenerate into such a
blatantly anti-Semitic circus.''

It is no secret to the sparrows on the roof that Israel has consistently
refused to act on or honor UN resolutions demanding that Israel return to
its pre-1967 borders, stop the settlements in the occupied areas etc.  The
US has seen fit to protect Israel through numerous vetos.  No wonder there
is anger.

=====

The Toronto Star of August 30, 2001 reports that Landy, president of the
Canadian Jewish Congress would quit the World Conference on Racism
"...because of the anti-Semitism he says he has faced since arriving in
South Africa.

``The level of antagonism and downright hatred is pervasive,'' Landy said
in a telephone interview from Durban. "We would not have come if we had
known the extent to which the conference
has been taken over by this agenda.''

Landy objected to "offensive material", including a T-shirt with a swastika
superimposed on a Star of David, and a booklet of caricatures depicting
Jews with hook noses and fangs dripping blood.

A proverb comes to mind, of course:  He who sows the wind shall reap the
whirlwind!

=====

"I feel besieged, there's anti-Semitism and hate literature . . . It
couldn't get much worse,'' agreed Anne Bayefsky, a professor from New
York's Columbia Law School.  "`Some of the Jewish delegates are hiding
their accreditation badge because it identifies them as from Israel or as
Jewish."

May we assume the love affair with things Israeli or Jewish is over?

=====

The issue of Zionism as a form of racism has been the subject of fierce
debate in preparatory sessions.  Deutsche Presse-Agentur of August 27, 2001
reports that an Israeli delegation at an international youth summit in
Durban on Monday "... walked out of a working session after participants
accepted a Palestinian motion declaring Israel an occupying force."

What do we have here?  Israel itself calls these areas "occupied areas" and
troops serving there as "occupation forces"!

=====

Triggered by a pamphlet distributed at this conference equating the Star of
David with a swastika, Mary Robinson, the UN Human Rights Commissioner,
declared at an official dinner:  "I am a Jew".

That news was all over the place!  Later reports, however, quickly modified
that statement, claiming that the sentence had been taken out of context.
Supposedly Robinson merely said in response to an anti-semitic cartoon.
"When I see something like this, I am a Jew."

Now rumors are flying every which way!  Is she or isn't she?  Perhaps only
her hairdresser knows for sure!

=====

Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister, John Manley, decided to pass on the
conference, sending controversial multiculturalism minister, Hedy Fry,
instead.

Let's not forget:  This is the very same B.C. multi-cult minister who
managed to get herself into a fix a few months back by fabricating some
politically expedient, non-existent Ku Klux Klan cross burnings to
artificially create a "racist" danger in her province.

The local police and media said such cross burnings never took place.  To
this day, Fry hasn't explained herself - and we aren't left to guess what
might have been her motive.

=====

Here is one juicy headline for you:  "U.N. Chief Tells Israel To Stop Using
Holocaust To Justify Its Policies"  by CNSNews Correspondent Mark Klusener,
August 31, 2001.

Klusener tells us that U.N. Secretary General, Kofi Annan, did some
symbolic fingershaking at Israel on Friday, admonishing the bandit statelet
to  "stop using the Holocaust as a reason to continue ... policies of
occupation, displacement, and extra-judicial killings of Palestinians."

Hastily he added that "the ultimate abomination - the Holocaust - should
never be forgotten or diminished".  Now here is one smart politician for
you.  Will the Pavlovian reflex be enough to assure his re-election as UN
Secretary General?  Not likely.

=====

ZGram readers are invited to set a statement by chief rabbi and political
leader of Britain's Jews, Jonathan Sacks, against 60 years of unrelenting
global brainwashing telling us that "anti-semitism" is the most abominable
feeling human beings could possibly experience:

"The survival of anti-Semitism," intoned Sacks, "has made it the most
successful ideology of the 20th century."  Sacks calls anti-semitism "the
world's oldest hatred" and claims, not too surprisingly, that it has
"...resurfaced within the UN".

That 'anti-semitism' could be directly related to Jewish-Israeli behavior
in Israel against the Palestinians - and in the Diaspora in bludgeoning
governments into forking over billions and billions in extorted reparations
- never occurs to Rabbi Sack or to his tribal brethren.

=====

And speaking of Sacks, this clever rabbi prudently bowed out of attending
the conference because, according to Associated Press releases, the
gathering "...risks succumbing  to anti-Israeli bias."  Among other sins,
some conference delegates suggested in preliminary drafts one should always
refer to the "Jewish holocaust" with a small "h".

For his part, Sacks stated he would not endorse the conference with his
presence "...until the equation of Zionism with racism, denigration of the
Holocaust and  the singling out of Israel for condemnation is removed from
the draft.''

=====

Elsewhere on the planet:

Raoul Wallenberg, a somewhat murky Swede who, it is claimed, tried to save
Swedish Jews during World War II from incarceration by getting them phony
Swedish passports or visas, finally received his very own memorial
monument.

Wallenberg allegedly helped thousands of Jews escape deportation by moving
them to Hungary - before he mysteriously vanished.  He has long been
eulogized by folks with high stakes in the Holocaust myth.

However, less  than 24 hours after the monument was formally inaugurated,
it was spray painted by unnamed vandals.  Police stated that they had no
clues as to who might have done this.

=====

The German Foreign Ministry is checking out whether allegations that
development funds from Germany had been used to finance Palestinian
textbooks with anti-Semitic content is true.

A few days ago, German newspapers reported that Palestinian textbooks,
partly paid for by Germany and the European Union, called for the
destruction of Israel and described Jews as "deceitful" and "disloyal."

Germany had planned to contribute DM92 million ($43 million) to the kitty
to boost UN efforts in the Palestinian region, but then let it be know that
money is in jeopardy.

=====

Germany is to get yet another museum to help the Germans remember the
Holocaust, which they might otherwise forget.  Designed by architect Daniel
Liebskind, this one will open in about a week.  It can accommodate more
than 2,000 visitors a day.  It will be closed only three days a year: the
Jewish holidays of Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashanah - and Christmas Eve.

Organizers let it be known that they "... do not want the vibrant past and
the present to be overwhelmed by the Nazi massacre of 6 million Jews under
Hitler."

What vibrant past?  Whose vibrant past? :)

=====

Release of "The Grey Zone" has been announced.  Rated R for "...strong
holocaust violence, nudity and language, this film is  described as "the
tale of Dr. Miklos Nyiszli (Keitel), who worked for 'the Angel of Death',
Dr. Mengele.  The ever-more-stale topic:  A Sonderkommando, composed of
Jewish prisoners, was forced to work in the crematoria at Auschwitz - and
their traumatic experiences forced them into a moral 'grey zone'."

Nyiszli's notes turned into a book after 1945 in Communist Hungary.  It was
referred to at that time as a "novel".  (Like Schindler's List!)  So here
we have one more film based on a novel by a Jewish novelist with a Marxist
background!

=====

Agence France Presse in its International News Section of August 27, 2001
commented on a government ban in Romania to sell "the Nationalist", a book
with subheadings such as "What Holocaust?"

The title includes chapter headings like "These Jews who run our
lives" and "The Jews' Inferiority Complex."  Government prosecutors have
sternly announced they are investigating the matter.

=====

The president of the German Parliament, Wolfgang Thierse, has worries as
well.  When he traveled through eastern Germany and Poland earlier this
year, "neo-Nazis" posted his schedule on the Internet so they could follow
him.

"The extreme-right is more self-confident, more offensive and better
organized than ever," Thierse said in a recent interview with Die Zeit
weekly.

 "The collapse of communism created a kind of vacuum which is being filled
with all sorts of ideas," said Rafal Pankowski, a board member of "Never
Again", a Polish anti-hate group.

What kind of ideas?  That Zionism is racism?  That the persecuted of
yesterday have become the persecutors of today?

=====

New York's top cop is heading for Israel to trade advice about NYPD
anti-terrorism tactics in exchange for help in cutting off the Big Apple's
supply of the club drug "ecstasy." The visit includes a state dinner with
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.

The ecstasy issue is on the agenda because Israel is a major port of origin
for huge shipments of the drug into the United States.  In July, the NYPD
busted two Israelis trying to deal $40 million worth of the drug.

Never missing a beat,  Israeli officials will take Kerik to the Yad Vashem
Holocaust memorial in Jerusalem.

This is revealing!  So a top cop, whose police force represents more men
than the armies of Switzerland or Denmark, has to wine and dine with the
Prime Minister to stop Israel's illicit export of drugs?

Do they fly to Colombia and do the same there with the prime minister - or
do they go straight for the crooks?  What does this story tell the world?

=====

Finnish Foreign Minister, Erkki Tuomioja, was quoted as saying Israel's
intent in its clashes with Palestinians is "to suppress, humiliate, subdue
and impoverish the Palestinians," as quoted in Suomen Kuvalehti magazine on
Aug. 24, 2001.

Foreign Minister Shimon Peres immediately chastised his Finnish
counterpart, stating:  "The statement is shocking and outrageous, not only
to every Israeli and every Jew, but also to every enlightened person in the
world."

Once again Peres, totally incapable of seeing other people's viewpoint, is
denying the very reality staring him in the face in Palestine - a reality
created by his very own government's policies!

=====

According to Ha'aretz, Jonathan Pollard, the Israeli spy, will be getting
$1 million from the Israeli government to help pay for his and his wife's
legal expenses.  (Incidentally, Pollard hotly denies it.)

"Israel is America's staunchest ally and friend in the Middle East" - isn't
that the oft-repeated mantra by Israel's Fifth Column in the US?

One ZGram reader writes:  "At least a tiny portion of the annual $3 billion
in US aid to Israel will be returned. however circuitously..."  don't be so
sure.  It might well land in yet another Jewish lawyer's pockets!

=====

It now turns out that "60 Minutes" fabricated out of whole cloth the widely
quoted story of "...seventy virgins, seventy wives and everlasting
happiness" supposedly awaiting a Palestinian suicide bomber in the Beyond.

Koran scholars say that there is no such passage in their Holy Book - that
the Koran is not about having sex with virgins in heaven.

Knight-Ridder, the agency that broke the story, heard "60 Minutes"
officials "explain" they could not explain how the distorted translation
occurred.

=====

You will be astonished (or perhaps not) by this one:

Yeshiva University classics professor Louis Feldman has announced that the
Coliseum may have been "built with Jewish loot" from the destruction of the
Temple by the Romans in 70 AD.

Expect another reparations bonanza.  How much could the Temple be worth in
today's money?  Plus interest?

=====

And, finally, a faithful ZGram reader sent me this:

"Here is a piece of news from Denmark that may be of interest to your
readers.  A revival of the medieval debate about the existence of
universals can soon be expected.  The Holocaust is 'the most
well-documented' genocide ever, celebrated historian Otto Ruhl stated.

"But a profound philosophical/theological problems remains, and its
solution is the topic of a conference for all Danish high-school teachers.

"The question that will be discussed on Oct. 2 2001 is:  'Is the Holocaust
unique or universal?  Or - why not - both?'"

Just when you said there was relief from Holocaustomania around the corner!
