Israel Lobby Dominates Congress, Media Covers it Up

Posted By Alison Weir On August 10, 2011 @ 11:00

You might think that 20 percent of the American

Congress going on all-expenses-paid, weeklong

junkets to a foreign country — paid for by a lobby for

that country — would be newsworthy, especially when

the top congressional leaders of both parties are

leading the trips.

You would be wrong.

Eighty-one congressional representatives from all over

the country, led by Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer and

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, are traveling to

Israel this month. Most are freshmen congressmen,

and the group includes half of all the freshmen

Republicans voted into office in 2010.

The weeklong trips are being paid for by the American

Israel Education Foundation (AIEF), which was created

in 1990 as a supporting organization of AIPAC,

America’s major pro-Israel lobbying organization, and

they are located in the same building. AIEF, which is

only one of numerous organizations pushing pro-Israel

policies, has an annual budget of over $24 million,

with an even larger endowment.

This is an extraordinary situation. No other lobby on

behalf of a foreign country comes anywhere near

controlling such wealth or taking so many of America’s

elected representatives on a propaganda trip to its

favorite country.

Not all those going on these trips are enthusiastic. The

fetal position.

A staff member of one representative participating in

this month’s junkets said the representative had no

choice. If the congressional rep didn’t go on the trip,

the rep would be targeted by AIPAC; large quantities

of money, including massive out-of-state money,

would be raised for the opponent in the next election;

and quite likely the representative would be defeated.

The staffer said that the Israel Lobby is far too

powerful to ignore and that American voters have no

knowledge of what’s going on.

It’s no surprise that voters are unaware that their

representatives are being propagandized and

pressured by a foreign lobby. Their news media almost

never tells them.

The Associated Press, America’s number one news

service, has decided not to report on a lobbying group

taking 81 representatives to a foreign country in order

to influence their votes.

Even though the trips are being reported by news

media in Britain, Iran, India, Israel, Lebanon, and

elsewhere, AP has decided to give the story a pass.

When contacted about this, an AP editor in

Washington, D.C., said AP knew about the trips and

was “looking into it.”

Taking a similar tack, The New York Times, USA

Today, Fox News, CNN, ABC, et al., failed to inform

Americans about the trips. The Washington Post, after

the story was posted throughout the blogosphere,

finally covered it belatedly on Page 13. The CBS

website had a story on the situation, but CBS News

made no mention of the junkets on-air.

The only AP stories on the subject are scattered local

stories about individual representatives. For example,

AP’s Chicago bureau reported that Congressman Jesse

Jackson Jr. is taking part, without reporting that he

was one of 81 representatives accepting these all-

expenses-paid junkets and that his trip was being paid

for by the pro-Israel lobby.

A few other American media outlets reported the story

in interestingly diverse ways:

Washington’s Politico covered it twice; The Atlantic‘s

website reported on people who were “kvetching”

about the one-sided nature of the junkets, pointing out

that some of the reps were also going to meet with

some Palestinian leaders, without telling how many

(no one will say) and for how long (apparently for a

few hours of the weeklong trip). Los Angeles’ Jewish

Journal was remarkably forthright, reporting that “the

congressional reps will be getting the dog and pony

show,” and Commentary gloated at the “astonishing”

number of representatives going on the trip, noting

that “Congress is the backstop that gives Israeli Prime

Minister Netanyahu the ability to say ‘no’” to the

president of the United States.

on the Middle East,” this is actually not accurate.

Surveys find that an extraordinarily strong majority of

Americans — typically between two-thirds to three-

quarters — do not wish the U.S. to take sides on

Israel-Palestine. Such widespread desire for neutrality

is particularly noteworthy given that U.S. news sources

across the political spectrum are consistently highly

Israel-centric in their reporting.

It is quite likely that such voters would be unhappy to

learn that a foreign lobby has such power over their

elected representatives, leading them to give the

favored nation, one of the smallest and wealthiest

countries on the planet, over $8 million per day of

American tax money when the U.S. is in the middle of

a financial crisis.

Perhaps that’s why AP and the others don’t tell them.

I don't know about you, dear readers...but considering the state of

our country right now...for these 81 individuals to purport that they

represent you and I...I would posit that they are committing

TREASON.

By taking action today, you can help challenge AIPAC’s

Congressional junkets, which play such an important role in

ensuring U.S. military aid to Israel and U.S. support for Israeli

occupation and apartheid.

Call the Office of Congressional Ethics at 202-225-9739 and tell

them that you support the complaint filed against the AIPAC trips,

and that you want an investigation to be carried out. You can also

email the office here.

Your voice matters and your actions are successfully challenging

U.S policy toward Palestine/Israel.

Treason

Submitted by Gatemouth on Thu,

08/11/2011 - 5:08pm.

Article III Section 3 of the United States Constitution defines

"treason" thusly: "Treason against the United States, shall

consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their

Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort."

American support, financial or otherwise, may or may not be

good public policy, but the very fact that we are presently giving

aid to Israel, and that aid is supported by an Administration

regard by many Israelis and supporters of Israel as not very

supportive, would seem to refute the idea that Israel meets any

legal definition of the word "enemy."

Taking trips paid for by Israel or its supporters, or any other

nation or its supporters, may or may not be a bad idea for

legislators. If Marty Markowitz can be criticized, I suppose others

are also fair game.

But, in America, unlike countries with far more restrictive civil

liberties, "treason" has a very specific and limited meaning.

Supporting aid to Israel, or excepting pro-Israel junkets, may or

may not be a good thing, but it ain't "treason."

I suggest you come up with another word.

I suggest you find another word.

Treason?

According to former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff four-

star Admiral Thomas Moorer, Israel committed "an act of war

against the United States" in 1967. It also regularly spies on the

U.S. and has on occasion given purloined technology to other

American adversaries. That would, by many definitions, make it

an enemy.

Let's begin with Henry Ford.

Ford paid his employees a wage that allowed them to purchase

the very vehicles they were producing - the best advertising a

business could get.

Christopher Hitchens claims to be "the smartest man in the

room"...but we've never shared a room,so the jury's out on that.

This is the first I've read of Alison Weir's work, but tell me - are

there or are there NOT 81 members of Congress slated to

journey to Israel?

What's good for Israel does not correlate to being good for

America. That is a FACT.

Remember Bibi's words on September 11th, 2001?

"The Israeli newspaper Ma'ariv on Wednesday

reported that Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu

told an audience at Bar Ilan university that the

September 11, 2001 terror attacks had been

beneficial for Israel.

"We are benefiting from one thing, and that is the

attack on the Twin Towers and Pentagon, and the

American struggle in Iraq," Ma'ariv quoted the

former prime minister as saying. He reportedly

added that these events "swung American public

opinion in our favor."

Sounds great for America. You mean, America didn't feel

sympathetic for all of those years before 9/11?

Let's get this straight. I know exactly where you're aiming here.

I am an American. My duty is to my country FIRST, SECOND

AND LAST. We need to get things in order here, and that cannot

be done when nearly a FIFTH of our "representatives" are

feeding at the tit of a foreign nation.

Let me throw in a couple of things for you to chew upon.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Submitted by Vincenzo (not verified) on Thu, 08/11/2011 -

8:24pm.

Strong, credible allegations of high-level criminal activity can

bring down a government. When the government lacks an

effective, fact-based defense, other techniques must be

employed. The success of these techniques depends heavily

upon a cooperative, compliant press and a mere token

opposition party.

◾ Dummy up. If it's not reported, if it's not news, it didn't

happen.

◾ Wax indignant. This is also known as the "How dare you?"

gambit.

◾ Characterize the charges as "rumors" or, better yet, "wild

rumors." If, in spite of the news blackout, the public is still

able to learn about the suspicious facts, it can only be

through "rumors." (If they tend to believe the "rumors" it

must be because they are simply "paranoid" or

"hysterical.")

◾ Knock down straw men. Deal only with the weakest

aspects of the weakest charges. Even better, create your

own straw men. Make up wild rumors (or plant false

stories) and give them lead play when you appear to

debunk all the charges, real and fanciful alike.

◾ Call the skeptics names like "conspiracy theorist,"

"nutcase," "ranter," "kook," "crackpot," and, of course,

"rumor monger." Be sure, too, to use heavily loaded verbs

and adjectives when characterizing their charges and

defending the "more reasonable" government and its

defenders. You must then carefully avoid fair and open

debate with any of the people you have thus maligned. For

insurance, set up your own "skeptics" to shoot down.

◾ Impugn motives. Attempt to marginalize the critics by

suggesting strongly that they are not really interested in

the truth but are simply pursuing a partisan political

agenda or are out to make money (compared to over-

compensated adherents to the government line who,

presumably, are not).

Page 7: Israel Lobby Dominates Congress, Media Covers It Up - Alison Weir

◾ Dismiss the charges as "old news."

◾ Come half-clean. This is also known as "confession and

avoidance" or "taking the limited hangout route." This way,

you create the impression of candor and honesty while you

admit only to relatively harmless, less-than-criminal

"mistakes." This stratagem often requires the embrace of a

fall-back position quite different from the one originally

taken. With effective damage control, the fall-back position

need only be peddled by stooge skeptics to carefully

limited markets.

◾ Characterize the crimes as impossibly complex and the

truth as ultimately unknowable.

◾ Reason backward, using the deductive method with a

vengeance. With thoroughly rigorous deduction,

troublesome evidence is irrelevant. E.g. We have a

completely free press. If evidence exists that the Vince

Foster "suicide" note was forged, they would have reported

it. They haven't reported it so there is no such evidence.

Another variation on this theme involves the likelihood of a

conspiracy leaker and a press who would report the leak.

◾ Require the skeptics to solve the crime completely. E.g. If

Foster was murdered, who did it and why?

◾ Change the subject. This technique includes creating

and/or publicizing distractions.

◾ Lightly report incriminating facts, and then make nothing of

them. This is sometimes referred to as "bump and run"

reporting.

◾ Baldly and brazenly lie. A favorite way of doing this is to

attribute the "facts" furnished the public to a plausible-

sounding, but anonymous, source.

◾ Expanding further on numbers 4 and 5, have your own

stooges "expose" scandals and champion popular causes.

Their job is to pre-empt real opponents and to play 99-yard

football. A variation is to pay rich people for the job who

will pretend to spend their own money.

◾ Flood the Internet with agents. This is the answer to the

question, "What could possibly motivate a person to spend

hour upon hour on Internet news groups defending the

government and/or the press and harassing genuine

critics?" Don t the authorities have defenders enough in all

the newspapers, magazines, radio, and television? One

would think refusing to print critical letters and screening

out serious callers or dumping them from radio talk shows

would be control enough, but, obviously, it is not.

I addressed your points in my answer; why would you ignore

mine?

The Hate That Dares Not

The Hate That Dares Not Speak Its Name

Walter Russell Mead

This time of year it is worth remembering Mein Kampf, the

turgid and unreadable Bible of the Nazi movement that was

published back in July of 1925. The last time I looked, you could

still buy it at the international airport newstand in the Malaysian

capital of Kuala Lumpur — along with other classics of anti-

Semitism like the Protocols of the Elders of Zion and the

collected rants of Henry Ford in the Dearborn Independent.

Jeffrey Goldberg tells me that he recently saw Hitler’s

masterwork on the bestseller shelf of the Borders book store at

the Mall of the Emirates in Dubai.

When Hitler wrote, it was still socially OK to be an anti-Semite.

In some circles it was mandatory. As a consequence of Hitler’s

life’s work, it is now as unfashionable to be an anti-Semite as it

is to name your child Adolf.

The truth is that anti-Semitism is alive and well and not even

particularly rare; it’s just that many of today’s anti-Semites like

to think of themselves as enlightened, modern people and get all

huffy and hissy if anyone accuses them of prejudice in any form.

Many who in past times would have been open and honest about

their anti-Semitism, now try to hide the truth even from

themselves.

But anti-Semitism involves belief in any or all of the following

ideas:

cunning in support of the Jewish agenda.

As a religious and national minority, Jews cannot flourish without

attacking the traditional values of their host society. In every

country Jews seek to weaken national culture, religion, values

and cohesion.

Jews are not a national group or a people in the way that others

are; they do not have the same right to establish a nation state

that other peoples do.

Where Jewish interests are concerned, the appearance of open

debate in our society and many others is a carefully constructed

illusion. In reality, Jews work together to block open debate on

issues they care about and those who resist the Jewish agenda

are marginalized in public discussion.

These ideas are the five pillars of anti-Semitism; you don’t have

to believe them all — any one will do. Being an anti-Semite does

not necessarily make you a Nazi. You are an anti-Semite. That

doesn’t make you a Nazi; Hitler added a sixth pillar of anti-

Semitism that the only way to successfully oppose the Jewish

agenda was to kill all the Jews.

Since Hitler’s death, the world has defined anti-Semitism down.

Nurturing ancient fantasies of secret Jewish cabals that control

the media and play politicians like puppets on a string, and

making political judgments based on these fantasies isn’t sort of

or almost anti-Semitic. To believe that Jews control public

discourse and the media and bend the gentile masses to their

sinister agenda is the essence of old fashioned anti-Semite. In

some countries these beliefs are so common that they are no

longer recognized as an aggressive and communicable mental

disease. These ideas have become so widely accepted that they

are seldom questioned or examined; when that happens, a

whole society is poisoned and distorted.

On the anniversary of Mein Kampf‘s publication people of good

will everywhere should remember the need to fight one of the

most vicious forms of prejudice that the world has ever known.

Prejudice never recognizes itself; anti-Semites honestly think

their delusional beliefs about Jews are simple, obvious truths.

They are not; all five of those beliefs are demonstrably false.

In Nazi Germany people were imprisoned and even killed for

trying to fight anti-Semitism. In America we are free to fight it,

but too many of us choose to ignore this hate that dares not

speak its name. Anti-Semitism is real, it is murderous, and it is

very much with us today. Speak the truth and shame the devil.

Whatever your religion, your politics, your views about Israeli

policy, fighting anti-Semitism is part of what it means to be a

decent human being.

We must all do our part to keep this filthy hatred in the

ignominious pit where it belongs.

10:39am.

Just in case you aren't following Gatemouth's last posting...

Let's take those points as they were posited:

1) Asking what benefit the trips were is a legit question. But

even they were no benefit, they were not a capital offense. That

was my point. And why the obsession about Israel and only

Israel?

You provide an EXCUSE, not an answer to the posed question.

We pay our representatives, and in return, they are to enact our

will in the form of legislation.

In many of the jobs I've had, there is a Conflict of Interest

provision that clearly states that one cannot directly receive

compensation while employed.

Are you stating that there exists no opportunity for those 81

representatives to encounter any conflict of interest in receiving

funding? Taking all-expense trips?

If these trips were offered to regular Americans who held no

affiliation with representing Americans, well, there wouldn't be

an issue...but there is.

Does Israel truly expect NOTHING in return for these junkets?

You should be honest here, and understand that this IS a HUGE

issue. We'll come back to that - maybe I'll post a comprehensive

analysis of these junkets.

2) You never answere the Mead question. Do you really think

any of those ideas he lisited an as anti-Semitic are defensible?

Which ones? Which ones do you embrace? Why so sensitive?

Truth needs NO DEFENSE.

Your question, much like the one posed by JACK, is a "did you

stop beating your wife" question. Apparently, you missed the

point of my posting David Martin's 17 Techniques for Truth

Suppression.

You set up a straw-man argument, and I didn't fall for it.

Why so sensitive, indeed.

3) What was with the picture of the praying Hasidic boy, Vince?

Is his praying in some way relevant to the asshole with the

beer? In fact, what was with that post? Is the asshole with a

beer suppsoed to be indicative of some larger problem? What

problem would that be? Or do you just have a problem with

Jews?

I may need to question your level of reading comprehension.

Did you bother to click the link to the article?

Did you happen to realize that the picture was part of the

article?

You can pick your bone with the writer of that article and the

publisher for allowing that picture to be associated with said

In my opinion, the "asshole with the beer", as you so quaintly

put it, committed a HATE CRIME against his neighbors, and the

events should never have been allowed to escalate to the level

of this freak feeling confident enough to ACTUALLY EMPTY THE

CONTENTS OF A BEER BOTTLE OVER SOME WOMAN'S HEAD.

4) Why do you find it necessary to only write approving of Henry

Ford, who was responsible for some of the most despicable hate

literature ever circulated in America? Do you think his

achievement wash this away?

FREE SPEECH also covers "speech" in which one doesn't agree.

Do you know that Henry and his family were targeted by a bomb

attempt? Does his distribution of that material condone an

attack on his life, and the life of his family?

If you ask me...if I bought a Model T, opened the glove

compartment, found that tract within, and had a problem with

it...into the garbage it goes.

Vincent Nunes is NO "anti-semite", just an AMERICAN

Submitted by Vincenzo (not verified) on Sat, 08/13/2011 -

Cross-posting from Gate's column, just in case it's fired down

the memory hole:

Let me get right to it:

mole333 wrote: "As for the anti-Semitism, well, Mr. Nunes is

entitled to his opinion. But he bases it on long discreditd lies told

about Jews that originated in Tsarist days if not before. I have

always found it odd that the very powerful China Lobby, Saudi

Lobby, and multittude of other lobbies out there don't get the

same crap that the Israel lobby does. And I will say Israel and

the Israel lobby deserves some crap for the crap they do, though

I am ultimately as much a supporter of Israel as I am of

Palestine. BUT Israel and its supporters do not deserve more

crap than other lobbies, yet that is what they get. Perhaps Israel

should be flattered that people hold them to a standard so much

above their neighbors, but it is, ultimately, unfair. Mr. Nunes is

entitled to criticize Israel and its supporters and may well have

some valid points, but mixing it, perhaps unknowingly, in the

same rhetoric that Jews have seen for well over 100 years...200

years...even more aimed at them even when loyally laying down

their lives for their nation of citzenship, well please don't expect

us to accept it without comment. Next I woultn' be surprised if

you'll be telling us no Jews died in the WTC because they got the

call from Israel. I have had people actually say that to me!"

I cannot allow you idiots to malign my efforts with that old

canard.

It hasn't any basis in reality.

But wait, you ask - Israel isn't of of the member states of the

U.S. - so how can they be a domestic PAC?

When Gatemouth, much earlier in the discussion, inquired as to

why my scrutiny did not include other nations, I didn't offer forth

this information. I wanted to see if anyone else would pile on,

never once mentioning that salient difference.

"Anti-semite"? That's a bunch of ASSHATTERY.

I am an American and a PATRIOT,

You fools can kiss my ass in Macy's picture window, and in my

eyes, you asshats are suborning TREASON when you dismiss the

OBVIOUS CONFLICT OF INTEREST of having a foreign nation

interfering in the operation of our elected officials.

NO MAN CAN SERVE TWO MASTERS...not to their mutual

satisfaction.

There will inevitably be a WINNER, and there will be a LOSER.

I'm looking for America to be on the WINNING TEAM, and to me,

than means that everyone purporting to be on America's team

has America's interest FIRST, SECOND and LAST.

The issue of ANY OTHER NATION doing this is a MOOT POINT,

because foreign PACs are FORBIDDEN to engage in such

activities.

You see, boys...you're not dealing with Clayton Bigsby, the Black

White Supremacist, as brilliant as Dave Chappelle's show was; I

am a real person, with real feelings, real ideas, and a real

ambition to see America returned to greatness.

I can't tell if you're being obtuse, or if you just think that you

From Josh Ruebner's article:

The House Committee on Ethics should open an

investigation to determine if it is even legal for

Members of Congress to be participating in junkets

organized by AIEF. The guidelines of the committee

are as bright and clear as the midday sun on a Tel

Aviv beach in August. "The travel provisions of the

gift rule severely limit the ability of Members and

staff to accept travel from an entity that employs or

retains a registered lobbyist or a registered agent of a

foreign principal." (Emphasis in original.)

Legistorm, which tracks congressional travel,

explains that "even though AIPAC’s primary purpose

is lobbying, its nonprofit arm [AIEF] appears to

provide a loophole for sponsored travel." However,

this eureka loophole that AIPAC uses does not

withstand scrutiny. According to the latest publicly

available tax return of AIEF, the organization has no

paid employees — an astounding feat in itself for an

organization that raked in more than $26 million in

2009 and a mind-blowing accomplishment for an

organization running three huge congressional

delegations in one month.

An examination of AIPAC’s latest publicly available

tax return reveals the sleight of hand. AIPAC reports

It seems YOU are being deliberately obtuse. I didn't say "move

history so you can avoid conflating your accusations with old

Tsarist lies and second be fucking consistent. You pick a SINGLE

incident and SINGLE organization and ignore the fact that this is

standard for many nations.

Pick a criterion and be consistent regardless of nation whose

interests are being advocated for. That would go a LONG way to

show your use of known anti-Semites as sources and your use

old anti-Semitic memes is innocent. You are so wrapped up in

your outrage about this single case (enough so that you are

consistently and disgustingly abusive) but unwilling to even

consider treating is part of a wider issue wherein Israel is a

minor component. That suggests that somehow you view Israel

as worse than any other nation that does this and its supporters

as somehow worse than those who form lobbying organizations

in support of ties with other nations.

Now are you going to simply resort to your abuse and obtuse

Vincent is right.

Since the history hasn't been provided, let me just start rather

recently.

Spain in 1492. Yes, the year of Columbus's first voyage to

murder and plunder. Spain expelled most jews for their

conspiring against the government and all nonjews.

Martin Luther, writing in the 1500s in Germany, totally exposed

the conspiring jews for what they were -- and are.

The Russian revolution in the early 1900s was jew-created jew-

funded Bolshevism. Trotsky, Lenin, many others: all jews.

The Rothschild jews took control of England's money when the

British Empire was wrapped around the globe. Thus, those jews

have controlled international banking since then, and fought the

Opium Wars in China to get full control of the heroin trade.

Nixon and jew Kissinger didn't "open" China. China was already

well infiltrated and corrupted. Nixon and Heinz Kissinger

expanded, not opened.

The Rothschild jews took control of our money system in 1913,

and they still have it. It's called the Federal Reserve system.

Vincent has correctly written about that before.

The above are just a few selections from the long proven history

of jews corrupting countries, getting expelled, and weaseling

back in again.

General George Patton woke up to it at the end of WW2. He was

killed in a convenient vehicle "accident."

I can cite other great Americans who knew the truth and tried to

tell it, but the jew-owned media and jew-controlled politicians

simply blocked the truth from being published and broadcast.

Most Americans get all their "news" and info from the jew-owned

publishers and broadcasters, so they never get the truth about

jews.

But the jews sure like to dump on Christianity, Islam, and any

nonjew institution, don't they? Indeed, they do.

resurrecting the Tsarist lie of an "international Jewish

conspiracy."

Yeah...to hell with Room 8 if that's what it has become.

Incredible - I'm on the 3rd DVD offering from Lindsey Williams,

and there is a great reading of War Is A Racket by Smedley

Darlington Butler.

I'm actually still in awe of this man.

I don't think the complement of bloggers here at Room 8 wouid

agree with your assessment.

I was thinking to leave this with my last comment, but you

asshats always try to retreat with a parting shot, and I seriously

don't appreciate your failed attempts at control.

"Tsarist lie"? What the hell is that all about?

"International Jewish conspiracy"? You said it, moron, not I.

What you all have seen in the last 24 hours or so has been a

WWE Tag Team match, where two wrestlers having been

pounding mercilessly onto one opponent, never allowing him to

tag in his fresh partner.

Now that they didn't get their way, they'd like to take their ball

and go home.

Too bad I came with my own.

Oh, that was a messy mix of metaphors there, wasn't it?

There are going to be some uncomfortable things mentioned in

Lindsey Williams - The "Elite" Speak

I implore you to take your trained responses and suppress them

for the four hours you invest in watching this video.

We can win our country back - we just have to decide how much

we really want it.

On the day of the 9-11 attacks, former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was asked what the attacks would mean for US-Israeli relations. His quick reply was: "It's very good…….Well, it's not good, but it will generate immediate sympathy (for Israel)"

More Stupid Student Tricks: The Case of Sarah Grunfeld

This is comedy GOLD, dear readers:

Gawker reports

Cameron Johnston is a professor of

social sciences at York University in

Canada. He is Jewish. But the bad

part is, he’s also a Nazi! Fire him at

once! Wait… what did he say? See, on

Monday, on the first day of class, he

was telling his students about

acceptable and unacceptable opinions.

And as an example of an unacceptable

and dangerous opinion, The Toronto

Star reports, he said “All Jews should

be sterilized.”

Ok that seems reasonable.

Well! Twenty two year-old Sarah

Grunfeld, a student with poor listening

skills, was not about to stand for

whatever it is he just said! She

stormed out of class and informed a

campus Jewish group that Professor

Johnston was a rabid anti-Semite.

Predictable outrages ensued! And

Johnston has spent all week now

explaining that he actually said the

Grunfeld said Tuesday she may have

misunderstood the context and intent

of Johnston’s remarks, but that fact is

insignificant. “The words, ‘Jews should

be sterilized’ still came out of his

mouth, so regardless of the context I

still think that’s pretty serious.”

Grunfeld also expressed skepticism

that Johnston was in fact Jewish.

Asked directly by a reporter whether

she believes Johnston is lying, she

was unclear. “Whether he is or is not,

no one will know,” she said. “. . .

Maybe he thought because he is

Jewish he can talk smack about other

Jews.”

Sarah, if I may, your ignorance, poor listening

skills, and dogmatic blindness to the facts ill suits

you to be a student. You should drop out

immediately and seek employment at a roller

skating rink where the music blares so loudly you

need not hear anyone and no one need hear you.
