huh? surely junk is junk, irrespective of the bona fides of the author. contrariwise, if something is good, it's good regardless of the bona fides of the author.

Curiously, in a report in the Apr 26 Guardian (UK) regarding the destruction of infrastructure and equipment, an Israeli army spokesman, Captain Ron Edelheit was quoted as saying: "The human rights organisations are not always fair, blonde, blue-eyed European".
Wow! The last time I looked, it was in the name of "fair, blonde blue-eyed Europeans" that Jews were exterminated.
Now along comes an Israeli army spokesman distinguishing between fair blond blue-eyed European human rights organisations and those others.
Then earlier on in the year, there was that piece from one of the 'refuseniks' in which he quoted some Israeli army person talking about learning from the methods of Germans in the Warsaw Ghetto...
Perhaps indeed zionazism might need another take ;)

It is perhaps noteworthy that Palestinian and Arab Holocaust denial is derivative -- the junk that Euro-America throws up gets swallowed and re-gurgitated.
I do not know, but perhaps someone here does -- when did Holocaust denial become a significant strand in Palestinian/Arab politics? Is it a case of having something thrown in your face so often that the gut response is to try and deny it? Doesn't make it right, although I can well understand it. Like my gut response to the (re-?)discovery of 'culture' and 'development' is to deny it, despite (or perhaps because of) the wondrous 'rehabilitation' of confucianism...
