The riots in Europe are not about social justice? Not diversity? Really? So why are Muslim “youths” torching cars all over France, Belgium, and other nations in Europe? Why do the “youths” not feel like they are French? Why are there large sections of your inner cities where the police, fireman, and emergency services cannot go for fear of their lives? Firemen? How is it a reflection on social justice that the “youths” try to stone and shoot at people who come to their homes to put out a fire and save lives?

Your Muslim problems are very deep, and there is no comparison with the Jews of the 1930s. Jews were not rioting. Jews were not complaining of “social injustice.” Jews were not burning down your cars and buses and property. It was, in fact, the opposite. The riots were against Jews. Perpetrated by your countrymen, the tolerant and diverse Europeans.

Please. Save the bullshit for someone who will buy it. No sale here.

I think you’re confusing social justice with diversity, because that’s what the riots were about. They were not about race or religion. The underlying reasons for the situation that led to the riots were many and diverse, and they probably included failure in integrating these people into society. On the whole, racial and religious equality is done a lot better in the US than in Europe. I fear that we’re repeating the mistakes made here in the 30s (and the centuries before that) now, only replacing the jews for the muslims as the cause of society’s problems. This is not limited to Europe, however, and I see much of the same hate or intolerance directed towards muslims coming from the US.

The comparison of Gitmo with Auschwitz was perhaps very inappropriate, but it’s not a holiday resort either. Americans have come to Europe to illegally kidnap people right off our streets. They have run secret prisons on our soil and used our airports and airspace to transport other kidnapped people. These people have no rights, they don’t get a trial, they’re guilty until proven otherwise (how they would prove this I have no idea). Some are flown to countries where torture is used to extract information from them, and you turn a blind eye to it.

Anyway, I’ve got better things to do than lecture people on their wrongdoings. I just wanted to say get off your high horse, or (perhaps from the wrong testament, but fitting nonetheless): “Why do you look at the splinter in your brother’s eye, and not notice the beam which is in your own eye?” We’re all idiots, it’s part of what makes us humans. It’s when you start claiming you’re not that you get into trouble.

Why is it so unlikely? If you think the man lied before a jury, and maintained that lie until the statute of limitations on perjury ran out, what makes you think he won’t lie to sell books?

Plus, VONORA corroborated Ethel’s involvement. You’re mad if you think the feds relied solely on Greenglass’s testimony for a death penalty case.

All this, of course, is nothing more than desperate searching for some hole in what was an airtight case against the Rosenbergs. Sort of the Communist version of JFK conspiracy theories.

I would put Crown Heights under the heading of anti-Semitic attacks. I also think Al Sharpton should have been charged for accessory to murder, but that’s a different story.

I think we can say with certainty, though, that neither the American government nor the government of its states, counties, cities, towns, and villages have ever organized massacres against the Jews of America. You cannot say the same for many European nations.

Crown Heights.

Wikipedia? You are kidding, right? There have been several books written about David Greenglass’s belated confession. Here’s one — but if you bother to work past the first Google hit you come to you’ll be able to find dozens of sources other than Wikipedia.

So, yes, “know” would be the right word. Unless Greenglass lied about lying. Highly unlikely.

3 – 5 years could have been all that was needed to expose Uncle Joe’s government for the pit of horrors it was. Those years came at the height of the Korean War, and a decisive victory there would have left no North Korea to ship weapons to Syria and Iran.

“We now know that the Rosenbergs’ conviction was obtained through perjured testimony by Ethel Rosenberg’s brother, who was trying to save his own skin.”

Know? Only if you accept Wikipedia as the absolute arbiter of truth. I do not.
