Croatia thinks it’s just nifty to publish sugar packets with Hitler’s image on them, as well as anti-Semitic jokes.
Charming.
A senior member of the al-Quds Brigades, Islamic Jihad’s military wing, told Ynet that although Tuesday’s attack failed, more attacks were planned in the future.
“This is also a message to the American administration, its supporters and its collaborators, that if any harm comes to Islamic Jihad leader Ramadan Shalah, this will set fire to the region,” the operative said.
The newspaper noted that the packets have become very popular in local cafes and restaurants.
Even more charming.
But once again, world-wide anti-Semitism is not up. Just Jew-hatred, I suppose.
A monument to Holocaust victims and 240 Jewish graves have been defaced with swastikas in southern Ukraine, an activist with a local Jewish community said Tuesday.
Unidentified vandals desecrated the Holocaust Monument late Sunday with red swastikas and with the inscription “Congratulations on the Holocaust” and painted swastikas on 240 graves in a Jewish cemetery in the Black Sea port of Odessa, said Boleslav Kapulkin, a spokesman for Odessa’s Jewish community.
As for that Holocaust thing, well, gee, who cares about that anymore?
A prominent French political figure who ordered hundreds of Jews to Nazi death camps during World War II will be buried wearing his Legion of Honor medal, his lawyer said Sunday, even though the deceased man was stripped of his right to wear the decoration in 1998.
Maurice Papon, the No. 2 official in the Bordeaux region in southwestern France during Germany’s World War II occupation, was convicted in 1998 on charges of complicity in crimes against humanity. The former French cabinet minister was sentenced to 10 years in prison for ordering the arrest and deportation of 1,690 Jews, including 223 children, to Nazi death camps.
Unlike the 1,690 Jews, he lived a long and fruitful life.
He died on Saturday at age 96.
His lawyer, Francis Vuillemin, said he would see to it that Papon is buried with his medal, France’s highest distinction.
“I personally will make sure that the cross of Commander in the Legion of Honor … accompanies him in his tomb,” Vuillemin told France Info radio.
Papon was freed less than three years into his sentence under a law allowing early release for the ill and aging. He caused a stir in 2004 when he wore his medal in photos that appeared in Le Point news magazine. A court later fined him $3,275 for wearing the banned award.
Those pushy Jews. Imagine, wanting the man not to be buried with honor. Imagine, thinking that just because sometime in the 1940s he was responsible for collaborating with the Germans and sending Jews to their deaths, his honor should be taken from him.
Yeah. It’s us pushy Jews that cause the anti-Semitism. Because let’s go take a look at how many Jews live in the Ukraine: 84,000 out of a population of 47 million, or .6% of the population.
Croatia has 1700 out of 4.4 million, or less than .05%.
Somehow, it seems to me that the number of Jews don’t matter to the Jew-haters. It is our sheer existence that feeds the hatred.
All together now, it’s time for the Yourish.com mantra: Anti-Semites of the world, just die already.
