To be sure, Rubashkin’s judge developed an interesting and useful method of dealing with hordes of illegal aliens: threaten them with serious jail sentences, offer guilty pleas in fast-track hearings, and deport them after a short jail sentence. That approach is the only alternative to due process, which cannot and need not feasibly be applied to thousands, potentially millions of illegal immigrants. Why can a person who arrives in a country illegally claim a right to the same extensive due process accorded to citizens? The absence of gross human-rights violations during his trial is good enough. Israel can well apply a similar judicial tactic to the African illegals who already constitute 1% of our population: threaten them with infiltration charges and offer them deportation as an alternative to prosecution.

The judge was perhaps not overly anti-Semitic, just over-zealous in his prosecution. News media nevertheless overwhelmingly decried the judge’s handling of the case.

Yet, there is nothing new under the sun, and a Jew was denied bail because he is a Jew. His sentence to an unreasonably long prison term also has a smell of anti-Semitism.

Do you think that Polish-style pogroms are impossible in the United States?

In Syria, Medvedev demanded an international inspection of Israeli nuclear facilities—but not Syria’s!

Medvedev, Ahmadinejad, Miliband, Emanuel… What makes politicians of Jewish origin so hostile to Israel?

But this positive outlook is mistaken. Negative views are stronger and more actionable than nice views. Radical changes in public policy are always effected by a negligible percentage of the population. In terms of political activity, the third of Americans who dislike Israel outweigh the larger supportive group.

As usual, Israel did very well in Russia: 29% pro versus 30% contra. Despite their anti-Semitic traditions, a lot of Russians respect Israel for her strength and anti-Islamic stance.

In Egypt, which has been at peace with Israel for 31 years, 97% of the population hate us.

The report also claims there are 207,000 Holocaust survivors in Israel. After the Holocaust, only 600,000 Jews were numbered among the displaced persons, but over the subsequent decades the number of survivors mushroomed.

Looking for culprits? Arabs or Slavs, take your pick.

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?
