Most Swedes, however, are removed from anti-Semitism. They just want to be left alone. The Swedes have led peaceful life for centuries; they are conservative and tend toward isolationism. They were okay with Jews as long as Jews posed no problem for them. When Muslims started attacking them in person and international media condemned them remotely, the Swedes wanted to have nothing to do with the issue. Their repeated suggestions to Jewish communities that they should denounce Israeli policies is a well-intentioned attempt to help local Jews to stop the trouble.

The Swedes do not care who’s right or wrong in the Middle East. Since Muslims are many in Malmo, and Jews are few, the Swedes want those strange people—Jews—to satisfy the demands of the no-less-strange Muslim people.

The Jewish Agency’s annual report claims that in 2009 anti-Semitism reached its highest level since the Holocaust. That is nonsense. The number of anti-Semitic incidents last year is attributable to the Gaza war, and these incidents will not recur this year.

The American administration of the camp did not even try Demjanyuk.

Jewish groups claim that Pius did not do enough to save Jews. But there was hardly anything he could have done, because the Nazis would have had no trouble replacing him.

But Pius did more for the Jews than any Allied or American Jewish leader. While America and Britain refused visas to Jewish refugees, the pope hid a considerable number of Jews. While American Jewish organizations refrained from violent protests against the government’s inaction, Pius launched extensive covert operations to save the Jews.

The Jewish organizations which honored their worthless leaders cannot judge the Vatican for honoring its pope.

An Israeli court acquitted Demjanyuk on a technicality. The Munich court may not want to convict an elderly Nazi murderer on flimsy evidence because the precedent would bring dozens of other elderly Nazis to trial.

The court has to decide on two issues. First, jurisdiction: Demjanyuk can only be tried in Germany if he took part in murdering German Jewish citizens, who were a very small part of those annihilated in the Sobibor death camp. Second, Demjanyuk claims that he was forced to take part in the murders, rather than volunteering for them. Unlike Jewish law, civil law generally excuses a murderer who acted under compulsion.

Hamas will block the lessons, which is good. Why do Jews insist on flaunting our sorrows before our enemies? Impoverished children in Gaza refugee camps, suffering from the Israeli blockade, cannot feel pity toward Jewish victims of the Holocaust. They would laugh and cheer the Nazis, and the only lesson they can draw from their education is that murdering Jews is a respectable European habit which they should emulate.

But Obama said the very same thing in his Cairo speech.

One of them painted Nazi slogans on a local synagogue—in Hebrew.

Normal Jews, too, should be appalled by their compatriots sponsoring a homosexual parade in the extinct Jewish ghetto. By equating racism with homophobia, the organizers imply moral equality between Jewish martyrs of the Holocaust and the rainbow throngs.

The Swedish government’s refusal to condemn a newspaper for anti-Semitic rhetoric is odd, considering that not long ago Sweden apologized to Pakistan for re-publishing the Muhammad cartoons that had upset so many muslims.

Israel’s reaction is no less odd, making a big deal out of a silly story nobody would otherwise have paid any attention to.

During his election campaign, Obama vowed to recognize the Armenian genocide in Turkey. Speaking in Turkey a few days ago, he evaded a journalist’s direct question on genocide.

The charges might be fake, as the prosecution wants to lay the blame on the synagogue.

The exposition follows the museum’s earlier efforts to expand the definition of the word Holocaust to include everything down to the relatively generous American treatment of their black slaves.

That legal problem was clear when the United States extradited their eighty-five-year-old accused citizen.

Mossad abandoned hunting Nazis forty years ago, but now that Joseph Kumpf is walking freely in Austria, a sitting duck target, cannot the security service spare a few bullets for him?

The United States thankfully extradited Demjanjuk to Germany, where he now faces a trial. Regrettably, he is only charged with being an “accessory to murder” of 29,000 people; thus there is no chance for him to be hanged.

Shamefully, no Jewish organization exacted justice on Demjanjuk during the fifteen years he spent in America.

The number represents a tiny proportion of the confiscated Jewish houses. $40 mil is about a third of the minimal valuation, and even that would be paid in installments over the next twelve years.

As usual, Arab donors will eventually renege on their promises, but the EU and US will pay their dues, for a total of $1.5 billion.

IDF punished Hamas voters with considerable destruction. Reconstruction aid removes the punishment, and therefore encourages Gazans to support Hamas. The pompous Gaza reconstruction conference, attended by all the world’s powers, contrasts markedly with the international silence on rocket attacks from Gaza.

During the conference, Palestinians continued to fire at Israeli population centers. One Kassam rocket struck in the backyard of a Sderot home. What would be the world’s reaction if rockets were landing in the backyards of Californian homes?

Palestinians receive international funding while they attack Jewish civilians daily, and the funding is entirely disproportional to Gaza’s damage. The logical conclusion is that the world pays them to fight Jews.

In his free time from saving Szpilman, Hosenfeld interrogated Jewish resistance fighters in Warsaw, though Yad Vashem concluded refreshingly that there is no evidence implicating the Nazi in mass murders.

The Nazi should not have received the award also for a legal reason: it only goes to gentiles who risked their lives saving Jews. Hosenfeld exposed himself to no risk, and it was common among Germans even in death camps, to provide protekzia to a handful of Jews they deemed useful, professional, or respectable.

Since more or less every tourist comes to Cartagena for drugs and women, and fifteen years is a respectable age for Latin American prostitutes, Israeli tourists were singled out for persecution.

The Columbians might have been responding to Israel’s Gaza operation. Israeli-Colombian relations are strained because anti-government guerrillas routinely employ Israeli instructors.

Scores of Nazi war criminals lived in Egypt, Syria, and Iraq, and helped the Arabs build modern armies.

Before moving to Egypt, the scum lived in Germany until 1961.

The leftists chose no other place for the exhibition than Niilin, a place of daily clashes between IDF and Arab rioters.

White phosphorous is a horrific ammunition that sticks to human skin and continues to burn there until cut out. Photos of the victims of white phosphorous attacks are among the peace activists’ strongest arguments.

Strangely, this time human rights groups refrained from lambasting the perpetrators. The UN remained silent about this clear-cut war crime. No protests took place in Western capitals.

Because the phosphorous shells have been fired by Palestinian terrorists at Jews.

Palestinian terrorists fired phosphorous shells at Israel Negev communities populated exclusively by civilians, with no military presence whatsoever. The Palestinians were not deterred by the large numbers of fellow Bedouin Arabs in the Negev. The shells struck Eshkol District, where both Jewish farmers and Arab Bedouins live.

Human rights organizations saturated the Internet with condemnations of Israel after numerous white phosphorous shells and canisters were discovered in Gaza following IDF’s operation. The International Red Cross Committee confirmed Israel has only used white phosphorous ammunition to illuminate targets, with no harm to Palestinian civilians or guerrillas.

Despite the ICRC report, Palestinian groups stepped up the outcry over Israel’s use of white phosphorous ammunition in an attempt to deflect attention from their own use of it. In the latest case, Palestinian UNRWA personnel claims to have been attacked with white phosphorous shells—despite the absence of burned victims.

Responding to the incitement, Arab masses took to the streets. Turkey, the Muslim country most friendly to Israel, saw up to 700,000 of its typically secular citizens in Istanbul protesting the Israeli operation.
In Morocco, another Muslim country friendly to Jews, demonstrations were attended by 40,000. Interestingly, an anti-Israeli demonstration in Lebanon was about ten times smaller. Apparently the Lebanese, who have had first-hand experience with Palestinian terrorists, are not that antagonistic to Israeli goals.

In Norway, an anti-Israel demonstration turned violent, and the Israeli Embassy was attacked. Sixty years ago, the German Embassy faced no such threats.

Canada is a country most Jews imagine to be safe, yet more than 10,000 people participated in anti-Semitic demonstrations in major cities.

But why the symbolic condemnation? If everyone from Saudi Arabia to the United States hates Hamas and recognizes that Israel reasonably defends herself, why any condemnations at all? After Abu Mazen visited Russia a few days before the IDF operation to request Putin’s military assistance against Hamas—and, presumably, his tolerance of an Israeli invasion of Gaza—why did the Russian FM still find it necessary to condemn Israel in a pro forma statement?

Foreign governments, anti-Semitic and pandering to anti-Semites, condemn Israel reflexively.

Which is true. Jewish liberals are at the forefront of anti-societal activity in America and elsewhere.

The poll reflects the falling influence of Jews in Hollywood as Arabs and international corporations take over the major studios. “Only” 22 percent of Americans strongly believe that Jews run the national mass media. Unlike the ADL, we won’t take that for anti-Semitism but a mere statement of fact. The problem is, we the good Jews don’t like those Hollywood Jews either: to anti-Semites they are Jews, but to us they are Jewish anti-Semites.

On other hand, if the ADL takes those 22 percent of Americans for anti-Semites, then the situation for US Jews is no different from the European one: in Old Europe, a hotbed of anti-Semitism, it traditionally runs at about 25-30 percent even in countries such as Germany, Poland, and France. The European situation historically erupts in major pogroms every few decades.

Refreshingly, the ADL poll shows half the Americans retained some common sense: they support moral censorship of mass media, believe the media is unacceptably tolerant to subversive lifestyles, and doesn’t share the population’s values. Which is true.

Since then, Demjanyuk returned to the US where the Supreme Court decided now to extradite him as war criminal.

It is a shame for all Jews that no one yet tortured that scum to death, but extradition to Poland or Ukraine might make the task of good Jews even easier.
