It has been with me for a while - not from hearing Ahmadinejad, or from reading the Hamas Charter, or the analysis in books like Phyllis Chesler's The New Anti-Semitism, but since the early 1990s when I read Jacques Ellul's Un Chretien Pour Israel (1986) - his chapter on 'Antisemitism and Antizionism' was spine-chilling, as was his masterly deconstruction of the French MSM coverage of the first Lebanon War (1980s). Have you read his Ce Dieu Injuste? (1991) - on p. 163 he writes 'l'horrible aventure des temps Presents: a la fois la Shoah commise par les Nazis ET CELLE PREPAREE PAR LES MUSULMANS". <BR/>Just how far things had gone, came 'home' to me when a much beloved Franco-Australian friend, normally a very rational and witty woman - in a discussion of the Middle East situation shocked me by proclaiming that 'Israel needed to be kicked in the head'!!! and this would solve all (I was so horrified I was silenced - back then I knew she was badly wrong but didn't have the arguments straight to respond). <BR/> Anyway - I'm just an Aussie housewife tho with a Uni degree, but I've been recommending Ellul's book on Israel to anyone I know who reads French, along with Martha Gellhorn's classic 1961 article, 'The Arabs of Palestine', which is b****y brilliant, as Ron Weasley would say.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009004.post-43808085457692288872008-03-13T06:12:00.000-07:002008-03-13T06:12:00.000-07:00Zionism, a "Tumour in the midst of Judaism", Belgi...Zionism, a "Tumour in the midst of Judaism", Belgian radio forum<BR/><BR/>http://philosemitism.blogspot.com/2008/03/zionism-tumour-in-midst-of-judaism.html<BR/><BR/>The newly appointed Israeli ambassador to Belgium, Tamar Samash, was interviewed yesterday by the Belgian state radio (RTBF, French-speaking). The following comment was posted on the RTBF website forum - comments on the forum are moderated...<BR/><BR/>"I listened to the new ambassador. She made me feel nauseous and made me want to vomit… <BR/><BR/>No, Madam, Israel has never made a single mistake: it is us who do not belong to the "Chosen People", it is us who are "Cattle", who are guilty: we perpetrated a crime against Humanity when, in 1948, we allowed the triumph of Zionism, a "Tumour in the midst of Judaism". For the last 60 years, Palestinians have been paying every day with their blood for our boundless cowardice. Israel does not want peace. Patiently, it grabs the whole land through ethnic cleansing - a slow genocide. <BR/><BR/>Are all your new historians who, very courageously revealed the historic truth, traitors? Madam, your founding myths have been blown apart: your position is … pathetic. <BR/><BR/>Jacques Rossignol"<BR/><BR/>The RTBF is well known for its anti-Israeli stance. Recently Shoah survivors and Sderot residents were qualified as colonialists.<BR/><BR/>Who else has been saying that Israel is a tumour ? Perish the thought: Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Khaled Meshal ! And what is to be done with a tumour? It has to be removed.<BR/><BR/>AFP: "Ahmadinejad, who sparked an international outcry in October when he said Israel "must be wiped off the map", also repeated his view Thursday that the Jewish state was a "tumour"." <BR/><BR/>The Times: "Iran’s hardline president provoked international outrage yesterday by saying that the "tumour" of Israel should be moved to Europe to foster peace in the Middle East."<BR/><BR/>BBC: "Arab countries are trying to forget the existence of a cancerous tumour in the heart of the World of Islam and are closing their eyes to this real enemy of Muslims... The Islamic Republic of Iran and any other country that enjoys sovereignty should do their best to launch an Islamic anti-Zionist movement against Israel." (Editorial in Iranian Jomhuri-ye-Eslami)<BR/><BR/>Dr. Majid Goudarzi: "I hope that one day humanity will reach the conclusion that the only solution for this cancerous tumor is surgery.", Iran TV Discussion on the Myth of the Gas Chambers and the Truth of Protocols of the Elders of Zion; "The Only Solution for This Cancerous Tumor [Israel] is Surgery""<BR/><BR/>Haaretz: "Exiled Hamas political bureau chief Khaled Meshal on Thursday called Israel a "cancer that must be pulled out by its roots"."<BR/><BR/>more on the same:<BR/>Israelis compared to Nazi SS on Belgian radio blog<BR/>http://philosemitism.blogspot.com/2008/03/israelis-compared-to-nazi-ss-on-belgian_12.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009004.post-59024612242950318192008-03-09T08:06:00.000-07:002008-03-09T08:06:00.000-07:00Denis, the use of terms like germ or microbe by Kh...Denis, the use of terms like germ or microbe by Khomeinist Iran and its satellites is not new. I first came across it in an article in LeFigaro, in 1987 I believe, after an important election in France. The French paper was reporting on Hizbullah's reaction to the election results. They were not to the taste of the Hizb. So they complained about the "Jewish vote" in France. Fadlallah was quoted as was a Hizbullah paper in Lebanon. The paper claimed that: "Le microbe juif est partout" [The Jewish microbe is everywhere]. It is quite possible that Iran & the Hizb were using this bacteriological rhetoric even before that.Eliyahu m'Tsiyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07973268399414290195noreply@blogger.com
