[Peace-discuss] "The Growing Antisemitism Scam"

[David Johnson]

Yes, 

 

I saw an interview with Norman Finkelstein on THE REAL NEWS NETWORK a few years ago about this topic.

What makes Finkelstein’s discussion especially powerful is that both of his parents were Holocaust survivors, who had a run in with these con men.

Controversial indictment of those who exploit the tragedy of the Holocaust for their own gain

In his iconoclastic and controversial study, Norman G. Finkelstein moves from an interrogation of the place the Holocaust has come to occupy in global culture to a disturbing examination of recent Holocaust compensation settlements. It was not until the Arab–Israeli War of 1967, when Israel’s evident strength brought it into line with US foreign policy, that memory of the Holocaust began to acquire the exceptional prominence it has today.

Recalling Holocaust fraudsters such as Jerzy Kosiński and Binjamin Wilkomirski, as well as the demagogic constructions of writers like Daniel Goldhagen, Finkelstein contends that the main danger posed to the memory of Nazism’s victims comes from some of the very people who profess most passionately to defend it. Drawing on a wealth of untapped sources, he exposes the double shakedown of European countries and legitimate Jewish claimants, and concludes that the Holocaust industry has become an outright extortion racket.

All of you should watch this film - it is true and very chilling - I see that it has never shown in Champaign, only near Chicago - you should arrange a showing!

I wrote this some time ago, but evidently didn’t send it off…

 

My reading of those in the Jewish community who are ardent Zionists indeed have a dual allegiance irrespective of American interests. We have a few here at CLV.  David, what are your impressions with members of the Temple community? How about those who have emigrated to Israel from the U.S.?

Only so long as Israel remains useful to American control of the region, which it most certainly will in the foreseeable future.

Accusations of anti-semitism are certainly politically motivated and despicable; nevertheless those who make them cannot credibly accused of "dual loyalty." They have simply adopted these tactics in relation to their support for American Empire.

 

???—only if the American Empire backs Israel?
