Although I
am the grandson of Holocaust victims, I am embarrassed by some
Jewish organizations that want to make the Jewish Holocaust the
defining event of World War Two.
This is seen in the boom in Holocaust Studies Programs, Holocaust
Museums and Hollywood movies like "The Pianist."
Canadian Media mogul Izzy Asper is behind a new $200 "Holocaust
and Human Rights Museum" in Winnipeg. The very title equates Jewish
persecution with all "human rights."
The Second World War was a human calamity. Over 55 million people
died. Why focus on the Jewish experience? This is the cause of anti
Semitism in the first place. Jewish power brokers are perpetuating a
vicious cycle.
I am also troubled by the attempt to classify people like Ernst
Zundel as a "hate criminal." Zundel's website claims only one
million Jews were murdered, there were no gas chambers, and Hitler
didn't intend genocide. Zundel's claims are repugnant, but he has a
right to be wrong. Society needs people to dispute the historical
record. One may be right. If spreading false information is a crime,
shouldn't we also lock up Tom Brokaw?
Canada has locked up Ernst Zundel. According to his wife, he is
being mistreated in prison. He risks deportation as a "security
risk." Bernie Farber of the Canadian Jewish Congress concedes Zundel
doesn't "actually wield the stick" but "provides oxygen" to
extremists. That definition would curb everyone's freedom of speech.
When questioning 'what is the truth' becomes "hate", we have
entered Orwell's "1984" era of thought crime. Don't kid yourself.
This is the slippery slope to tyranny and Jewish organizations are
partly to blame. We must stand up in defiance.
The charge of hate is used selectively to disarm legitimate
opposition. The definition of "hatred" is very selective. For
example lesbians spew hatred of men but they are never arrested.
Feminists teach impressionable girls that all males are potentially
violent sexual predators. That's OK. The Talmud is full of hatred against Christ and Christians, but that
doesn't count either.
Canadian MP Svend Robinson wants to make "gay bashing" a hate
crime. He isn't talking about violence against gays, which is a
genuine crime. He would prevent society from defending itself from
activists who teach children that heterosexual roles are not natural
but homosexuality is.
"Hate" is a bogus charge anyway. Many so-called "Anti Semites"
have written me and most are not hateful or racist in the least.
They are trying to defend their legitimate interests from a real and
insidious attack. The arch anti-Semite Henry Ford, author of "The International Jew" employed thousands of Jews
in his factories. He worked closely with a Jew, Mme. Rosika
Schwimmer on his Peace Ship crusade. Ford's Jewish architect Albert
Kahn designed hundreds of buildings for him.
Jewish powerbrokers use anti Semitism to disarm opposition to
their political agenda. The promotion of the Jewish Holocaust
maintains the Jews' status as the world's premier "victims." This
gives them immunity from criticism. It makes people feel more
favourable to them and more willing to accede to their direction and
influence. (The same strategy is used with homosexuals and
feminists, the other out-groups used by the elite to subvert
society.)
The Holocaust is also a defining event for Jews. Jewish power
brokers use victim status to manipulate Jews and extract their
donations. Victimhood turns Jews into moral zombies. For most of my
life I didn't give two cents for the right of Palestinians to their
homes. "We suffered, we deserve a homeland," the logic went.
The Holocaust also serves their New World Order agenda. It is a
constant reminder of the pitfalls of nationalism or racial
consciousness, two things the financial elite is trying to bury,
with the exception of Israel.
"ALSO RAN" HOLOCAUSTS
To maintain victim priority, it's necessary for the Jewish
establishment to practise "holocaust denial" when it comes to other
people.
In his book "Crimes and Mercies" (1997) James Bacque describes
how he confronted New York Times reporter Drew Middleton with
evidence that after the war, the US starved to death over one
million German POWs. "What Middleton told me basically was that,
yes, he had lied in 1945 and no, it did not matter to him or the
New York Times if I exposed this." (183)
"Middleton's sense of security, his sense of the New York Times'
power, took my breath away", Bacque writes. "But worse than that,
Middleton did not care about this atrocity... the New York
Times witnessed it, then denied that it happened. And has gone
on denying it into the 1990's." (184)
Bacque estimates that, during the Allied Occupation (1946-1950)
an additional eight to twelve million Germans were deliberately
starved to death. The war did not end in 1945. For five
additional years, Germany was subjected "physical and psychic trauma
unparalleled in history." (93)
Red Army soldiers raped up to two million German women during the
last six months of the Second World War, around 100,000 of them in
Berlin. They also raped Russian women released from German labour
camps. We live in a feminist era. Have you seen any movies about
these women?
At Potsdam, the Allies ratified the 1939 Soviet-Nazi Pact that
gave USSR half of Poland. Poland was compensated with the eastern
quarter of Germany, in effect another gift to the Russian empire.
This required the expulsion of about 12 million Germans, the largest
forced migration in history.
Jews were prominent in the Polish Communist regime. In a stunning
reversal of roles, Jewish policemen ordered Germans out of their
homes and into cattle cars. In his book, "An Eye for An Eye" Jewish
writer John Sack relates that about 1.5 million of these Germans
died in the removal. He quotes a German woman from Gleiwitz: "What
happened to the Jews was sad. But there was another Holocaust
too." (138)
According to Sacks, Jewish Communists extracted another cruel
revenge. They filled 1250 Nazi concentration and labour camps and
brutally tortured and murdered tens of thousands of Germans. (101
ff.)
Have you seen a movie where concentration camp guards and
commandants were Jews? Since 1948, the American Jewish Committee and
the Anti Defamation League have censored all Hollywood scripts
involving Jews. Since these bodies are extensions of Jewish finance,
what other topics have they censored? (Gabler, An Empire of the
Own: How Jews Invented Hollywood 1988,p.303)
In his book, "Victims of Yalta", Nicholas Tolstoy documents
"Operation Keelhaul," the Allies' forced repatriation of two million
Russians who were German slave labourers, prisoners of wars, or
soldiers. These people were sent to the Gulag and liquidated. Where
is the museum dedicated to them?
The mass media is unusually coy when it comes to reporting
Communist atrocities. Nine million people died in the Russian Civil
War (1917-1922). The Communists targeted czarist society and
Christians in particular. Stalin's purges and famines accounted for
20 million more deaths. In China, Mao ZeDong is blamed for 60
million. More recently, let's not forgot Tibet, Cambodia and Rwanda.
see Inventory of Twentieth Century Barbarism.
In The Holocaust Industry (2000) Norman Finkelstein
describes how Israel helped its ally Turkey deny the massacre of one
million Armenians in 1915. "Acting at Israel's behest, the US
Holocaust Council practically eliminated mention of the Armenians in
the Washington Holocaust Memorial Museum, and Jewish lobbyists in
Congress blocked a day of remembrance for the Armenian genocide."
(p.69)
CONCLUSION
Jewish organizations dishonor Holocaust victims by using them for
political purposes. It is tasteless to cast Jews as the world's
premier victims. Humanity is one family and no genocide is more
important than another.
To use "hate" to disarm opposition to the Zionist agenda is also
repugnant. It leads to tyranny and more anti Semitism.
For Ernst Zundel to deny or understate the Jewish Holocaust is
grotesque. But it is not a crime. In these questions, only the truth
matters. Let the truth speak for itself. Let Zundel be judged by
it.
Let me close with an anecdote. In 1961 when I was 11, my family
was travelling in Germany. We stopped at tavern-restaurant where
some workingmen were having a loud conversation. They looked at us
(a couple with three young children) and said, "We'd better shut up.
There may be Jews present."
My family felt threatened. We ate and quickly left. But I realise
now those workmen might have been afraid of us. Germany had
just endured a gruelling occupation.
Hate is born out of fear. Let us expose the forces that make us
fear each other for no reason.
