This is horrible. Thankfully Professor Wiesel was not injured but when Jewish leaders are targeted like this we all have to be concerned.

Apparently the fellow who accosted Wiesel is a holocaust denier called Eric Hunt.

Even more bizarre this lunatic brags about it in a posting on an anti-semetic website:

quote:
On February 1st, at approximately 7:30 p.m., I attempted to get a confession out of the "Pope of the Holocaust religion," Elie Wiesel. We were in an elevator in the Argent Hotel in San Francisco. He was on his way to the 36th floor Penthouse. I had planned to bring Wiesel to my hotel room where he would truthfully answer my questions regarding the fact that his non-fiction Holocaust memoir, Night, is almost entirely fictitious.

After ensuring no women would be traumatized by what I had to do (I had been trailing Wiesel for weeks), I stopped the elevator at the sixth floor. I pulled Wiesel out of the elevator. I said I wanted to interview him. He protested, grabbed at his chest as if he was having a heart attack. He then screamed HELP! HELP! at the top of his lungs. This is someone who in his public appearances, speaks so softly, that when he appeared on Oprah, they had to use subtitles throughout. Wiesel had dropped this phony persona and assumed his actual personality, of an insane lunatic.

I told him, "Why, you don't want people to know the truth?" His expression changed, and he began screaming again. HELP! HELP! So, after pulling him about fifteen feet out of the elevator, alerting a few floors, I decided that it was time for me to go. He was no use to our worldwide struggle for freedom if he had a heart attack. I fled from the scene, confident that the police would arrive soon and search the city looking for the insane person who attempted to forcefully interrogate a poor old "Holocaust Survivor", Nobel Peace Prize Winner, and most recently, "knight of the British Empire."

I had planned on either: getting Wiesel into my custody, with a cornered Wiesel finally forced to state the truth on videotape, getting arrested, or fleeing, and either way, exposing the "Pope of the Holocaust religion" for being nothing but a genocidal liar. However, a funny thing happened, Wiesel apparently never called the police.


I'm not posting a link to the website b/c of its offensive content.

Hope they throw the book at this nutbar.

I will continue John K. Post.


[QUOTE] Like the criminal he is, Wiesel knew not to call the police. Because he should be in prison for the multiple counts of perjury he has committed under oath which has put innocent and honorable Germans through misery and death. Calling the police would expose him and his tribe once and for all for creating the myth of "The Holocaust" as the President of Iran has rightfully pointed out.

Eric Hunt

Here's the Link to the rest of what Hunt wrote.
Beware it's very offensive and the site is crawling with white supremicists.

Heres the Link he emailed this to.read post 14.

The best thing you can do with this garbage "Hunt" is expose him and all his scum that associate with him.

Well I think you should.

Yes, we should know that this stuff exists, but posting full length extracts like that is egregious and offensive. Sometimes babblers link to some pretty bad stuff for illustrative reasons, but do so with appropriate warning and disclaimers.

Please edit it out.

It's scary how much anti Jew hatred is out there.
At least these sites expose the scum for what they are.
This is the problem when we revisit these old wounds like the Holocaust.It helps these lunatics to recruit new members and propagate the hate ounce more.

Is this Freedom of speech or Hate Crimes.Who should be the judge to shut these hate sites down ?
I guess thats a whole other topic.

Well. If this isn't the epitome of a babble thread. Cntrefield, who, on the
Mahmoud thread, posted a historical defence of Israeli military policy so lopsided that it could have been written by Benjamin Netanyahu (I mean Suez? Come on), is now threatened by Unionist for posting reprints of offensive rubbish. Is Centrefield an anti-semite now? I agree that it's probably not necessary to have reprinted such a long excerpt of that shit. I think linking to two sites is even worse. And a warning would have been appropos. But I find it just as bothersome to see the reflexive tendency, not specifically by unionist but by babblers in general, to run home and tell mommy everytime one disagrees with another post. No discussion, just edicts, and a delight at the opportunity to cordon off yet another area of forbidden speech. And if one even questions this tendency itself, one is liable to be labled "a troll." But it's a democracy here. What do others think?

If you don't like the banning of Nazi excrement from babble (and apparently you don't), the proper forum to spout your opinions is not "international news and politics".

That's assuming you have any real interest whatsoever in discussion of any kind - a rather generous assumption, given your posts from day one.

As for your provocative "tell mommy" comment, that's how we avoid "fuck-you" matches with someone who is posting inappropriately - we caution them politely and then advise the moderator(s). I know, it's civilized, and perhaps unfamiliar, but we like it that way.

Glad to be of service in explaining our customs.

On a lighter note, I would like to call attention to
some interesting scientific scholarship from our friends at the anti-semitic website:

Nice to see that racist scientists are using the word "cock", which is of course the approriate technical term when discussing anatomy. Always sure to increase the credibility of your experiment.

My above comment goes for you too. If you have a problem with the moderator being advised when a poster refuses to delete Nazi excrement (as Centrefield did - and he still has not done so), then I'm sure there are other forums where you can absorb such stuff to your heart's content.

My, what an interesting and fragrant band of merry men come out on occasions like this!

I'm kind of with minkepants on this one. The two sites centrefield linked to (with appropriate warnings) were educational in this sense.

These sites test my tolerance for free speech. But in order to fight hate, it must be known and then exposed. It certainly served as a wake-up call for me to be reminded that there are not only hateful - but also dangerous - individuals out there.

Someone like Eric Hunt has a borderline personality to be sure, but he draws his inspiration from more celebral types like David Duke, Irving and the other holocaust deniers.

Can you distinguish between allowing such sites and passages on the internet - and allowing them on babble? Or is it all so very educational for you? I have no clue why you initiated this, but the woodwork is emptied out by now. It's very unfortunate.

Well, you can generalize about my posts, I would direct you to what I wrote on the iran thread and you can tell me why i'm a nut. Yeah, i got mad on another thread because I am sickened that certain regimes are given a blank check by certain leftists, but I don't suggest that they should be banned. I'll reiterate that I find linking to these sites even more offensive. What does it say about you that you would say I am not offended by Nazi propaganda? Couldn't you have set the bar just a little higher? How is one to take your critiques to heart after such a comment? Centrefield has demonstrated an ardent desire to defend Israel in other threads. I think he/ she obviously thought exposing such garbage served some kind of purpose in defence of the Jewish people. You disagreeed. And, actually, I agree with you. I don't think the pain that even i feel at reading that material justifies the educational benefit. But you didn't appeal to the better angels of his nature. You issued an order and a rebuke.

Unionist, quoting someone does not mean you endorse them. Some of us here are adults and are very curious about how the other side thinks and feels.

When I was around 14 or so, in a spout of rebellion, I went to my library to pick up a copy of Mein Kampf, The Communist Manifesto and Lolita (And for those curious, no, I wasn't morally equivocating). None of these were available. You would have fit in well as a director of that library.

Fair enough. I guess i was generalizing backwards from the tone of your third post, which still bothers me. I apologize for my generalization. Now perhaps you could explain why it's fair cricket to say I'm not offended by Nazi material, and that i and John and Apples, and, presumably, Centre, have "crawled out of the woodwork," and that we are "fragrant" and that I am uncivilized.

Unionist, I found Eric Hunt's diatribe on the Ziopedia site which is one of the more celebral anti-semetic sites. Even then, I did not provide a link.

Centrefield provided the links to the more overtly hateful neo-Nazi sites. Hunt was obviously so full of himself over his Wiesel caper that he posted to multiple hate sites.

But I defend Centrefield's right to provide links to the neo-Nazi sites with appropriate warnings. I sure found them an eye opener.

As an advocate of free speech - and a critic of Canada's overly broad laws criminalizing hate speech - we need to shine the light of day on these haters, expose them, denounce them, and warn others about them.

Just to be very clear: I am revolted by the fact that there should be a "debate" as to whether Nazi anti-Jewish white supremacist excrement should be quoted, or linked, on babble. Centrefield refuses to delete this excrement, and now his defenders rise up. I am not going to participate in this "debate" any further, and I ask some of the normally clear-thinking posters in this thread to think over what they are saying.

And, as stated above, I'm inclined to agree. I'm not sure I'm as much of an absolutist regarding free spech as you are John. It certainly is playing with dynamite to be this close to the perimeter. I think everyone would have adifferent point of what would be acceptable. Probably many would not have aproblem if you posted a one line quotation by the jackass where he confesses to his action.

i think this is exactly the kind of philospohical conversation appropriate to a site like babble. However, one has to be hyper vigilant in this territory. I've seen posters on other sites who start off saying something mildly positive about the Autobahn on page one of a thread, and by page five are posting links to crap like we see above, or worse.

And i'd still like to see an explanation, or barring that, an apology regarding the statement that several of the posters here are not offended by this material.

I haven't refused to delete the Links.

I will if the moderators ask me to.But how else can we expose scum like Hunt if we can't tell the full story.
He beat up this helpless 78 year old man then bragged about to all his white supremacist buddies on the net.It's an important story that ohara began and I was just following up on her lead.Some posters were offended that I posted the full details of his letter here and I apologize for that.But showing where this scum came from and what led him to create this crime is important as well as interesting to many Babblers.
I didn't write the letter or have anything to do with the crime,I just gathered the Info and let my fellow Babblers make there own decisions.


Oldgoat asked me to clean up my original post so as not to be offensive to some,so I did.
He's the MODERATOR,he's has that right.

Gross manipulation. You can't just help politcizing these events so that you can tie it in with your Zionist cheese vis Iran, and turn it into Israeli propoganda, when for once everyone is on side.

Only adding truth to the statement of the Iranian President in his summizing that Zionist use the Holocaust as a cloak for their defence of Israeli apartheid.

You are an embarrasment.

Cueball have you no shame? Elie Wiesel was attacked for being a Jewish Holocaust survivor by a neo-Nazi. Can you not put aside your defence of Ahmadinijad and your disdain for Israel to see through your fog...even for this?

Go fuck yourself. I have no revference for Amedinejad. You are the one who decided to turn this thread into another pro-Israeli trope, by maniplating this attack on Eli Wiesel. Now you are going to go into your usual run and gun smear against me.

I don't see how the boeard can tollerate your shit.

Cueball, before this turns into another you know, a "mideast thread", that we moderators just freakin' LIVE FOR, let me correct you.

It was not a gross manipulation. It was a discreet and nuanced manipulation. It was a "one pinky over the line to see where it goes" manipulation. 'k?

ohara, you are at some risk of overplaying your hand. Updates as to the gentleman's health would be more apropos. Likewise, comments as to the state of the whako right white supremists in the US.

Legless-Marine: Indeed. Heaven forfend us.

Yes, whether he's a Zionist or not, he definitely didn't deserve assaulting, and especially not by that kind of person.

quote:
A devoted supporter of Israel, Elie Wiesel has also defended the cause of Soviet Jews, Nicaragua's Miskito Indians, Argentina's Desaparecidos, Cambodian refugees, the Kurds, victims of famine and genocide in Africa, of apartheid in South Africa, and victims of war in the former Yugoslavia. For more than ten years, Elie and his wife Marion have been especially devoted to the cause of Ethiopian-born Israeli youth through the Foundation's Beit Tzipora Centers for Study and Enrichment.

Well, things are bouncing along here at a brisk pace. God knows who will have said what before I hit the "add reply" button, but ohara, stop attributing things to Cueball that he didn't say. It's against policy. If you believe his posts are anti-semitic contact the moderators.

Well since we are at it, I would like to know why Ohara can call FM "Hallucinagenic" and Petsy can characterize Sidra as "raving" but Sidra gets chastized for making personal attacks against Houseover here, and not a word is said to either.

Now of course Ohara can go off about me adoring Amedinejad or what.

This site is poisoned.

How about reading the context of that statement?

Gee. I just told him to fuck off out of nowhere, not after he falsely associated me with things I have never said?

I know accuracy is not your strong point, but perhaps when you see someone tell someone else to go fcuk themselves, you might look at what they are responding too. So in fact, I am responding to being called an acolyte of Amedinejad in the context of Ohara calling Amedinejad an antisemite.

Hence the implication is that I am an antisemite.

This type of blanket smear totally deserves a "fuck off."

I don't care much for form, or propriety but knowingly misrepresenting someones statements is an abhorent piece of nastiness I can not abide.

To which you, Cueball, replied:

So, Cueball: incorrect. Ohara, who started this thread, so i find it difficult to see how he "threadjacked" it, wrote a post which didn't say word one about israel, or Palestine. If it had i could see your point. Ohara despaired of a holocaust survivor being accosted and an international leader denying the holocaust. The linkage isn't a stretch, whether that leader's name is Mahmoud or Haider, you dig? YOU expanded it into a conversation about Israel and Zionism. Hell, we just had a 80 post thread outlining how all signs show that even his own government thinks Mahmoud's an idiot, and he's probably days or weeks from being deposed by his own mullahs. So he don't necessarily equal Iran.

oldgoat's welcome to his opinion, but YOU were the one who flipped out for no reason. There was NO accusation that you specifically were anti-semitic.

And as far as my comment goes, it's more about how this board likes to talk a good game of certain basic levels of decorum.

But they don't exist

Now you are changing the subject. You were talking about me telling Ohara to fuck off. I explained why. You are now debating wether or not I was right about Ohara derailing the thread. Fair enough.

However, his defence was to smear me by saying:

I'm changing nothing. You were beligerent. YOU lowered the tone and initiated the attack with your incoherent screed. You added Israel into the mix. You flipped out. You don't want to acknowledge that, so you're changing the subject.

He could have said "you're defending Mahmoud," which you are in his capacity as a symbolic icon of Iran, although O'hara's critique of him revolved around his statements as a reprehensible anti-semitic pig, which he is. Therefore, YOu expanded the argumentinto a discussion of the defence of Iran, and then, when called on your behaviour, seeked to annul your own rhetorical conceit by saying "ah hah! you're calling me an anti-semite!"

An interesting piece of logical peek-a-boo to be sure. Aces high! Now low! Now high again! Cueball wins!

No. Sorry, you entered into this discussion inquiring about my use of the phrase "fuck off." That is the entire point of your first post on this thread. Again, may be wrong about Ohara derailing the thread, and you are entitled to your opinion on that, but I responded to Ohara's personal attack, impugning my character, not my arguement.

I didn't impugn his character by lumping him in as an acolyte of disreputable persons, I said he was an "embarrasement." There is a difference between that and impugning my characher by lumping me in with the people who attacked Eli Wiesel.

I am sorry if you can't see the distinction.

It got nothing to do with who brought up Israel first, in my opinion it was Ohara, but I certainly didn't suggest that he was an anti-Arab racists because of his stance or whatever. He went there and not I.

You can't seem to keep these things seperate:

The initial discussion about he infering a relationship between this guy Hunt and Amedinejad, and the manner in which he then converted that into an accusation about my charachter.

The latter is what I am calling him on now.

Ummm... I posted five posts before you jumped in and dumped on the person who started the thread. So your rebuttal is erroneous from the get go.

There is no usage of the word Israel, nor reference to the Palestinian question, by ohara, prior to your rant about Zionism, etc. It's not a matter of opinion. There's nothing there to demonstrate it, so you deflect by saying it's a matter of opinion, which it is not. The whole thread's a thousand words, we're not looking for subtext in King Lear or Karamazov.

You came in, ranting about how he was an agent of Zionism simply for speaking mahmoud's name. He said you were enamoured of mahmoud, in response to your own post. You brought up Mahmoud in the context of Iran and Israel rather than narrowly, in reference to his anti-semitic remarks, and he responded to your defence, in the context of your own remarks, after which his remark flowed. Again, this is not a matter of opinion. But keep trying. It's funny to watch you try. I'd say, you probably could try name calling next, or perhaps you might tell me to fuck off, being as it is, the height of wit.

Oh sorry, I didn't see your post five posts before mine, Mr. Preverication. Preverication on point does not conclude the arguement, all it means is that you wish to distract from the actual thrust of my argument.

Your intial dispute with me was, in the nature of my use of the phrase "fuck off" in response to being smeared. I am absolutely fine, telling people who deliberately mistrepresent what I say and what I have said to fuck off.

At no point on any thread have I ever expressed "reverence" for Amedinejad, nothing even close. That is a bold faced lie, and he knows it.

It's prevArication bye the bye, and its a total of five posts, not five posts before. Which demonstares that you didn't bother familiarizing yourself with the course of the discussion. I don't need to restate the facts and you dont bother to refute them so quod erat demonstrandum.

Oh, and if you check on dictionary.com, prevaricate means to stray from the point, so your sentence is nonsense in as much as to "prevaricate on point" would be to stray from the point while remaining on it, I think, that is, I infer, because you're using the word improperly in a self-contradictory sentence.

But I wouldn't sweat it. There'll be no consequences for you repeating your F.O. because that's not how it works here, anymore than there will be any consequences for another poster making the subtle-as-a-flying-brick suggestion that three of her fellow posters must be nazi sympathizers. But it's not cliquey, really, it's not like junior high school at all.

O Brave New World! Ya gotta love the left. So much self-importance, so little self-reflection. How dare anyone dare to mock! We're verrrrry serious.

Cueball, I take your point and have removed the word "reverence" and changed it to "defence". That said Minkepants is absolutely correct. My concern alaways centred on Wiesel. I then only tried to make the point that given Ahdiminijad's Holocaust denial and many other factors present in 21st century society, Jews are still targets for anti-Semitism and venom. Im sorry that you see Israel under every rock however that is clearly your problem not mine.
