BERLIN, Nov. 2 (JTA) ââ¬â A politicianââ¬â¢s anti-Semitic speech has erupted into a scandal in Germany as his party scrambles to contain the damage and Jewish leaders consider a lawsuit. At the center of the storm is a speech in which Parliament member Martin Hohmann, of the conservative Christian Democratic Union, called Jews a ââ¬Ånation of perpetratorsââ¬Â comparable to the Nazis and defended Henry Fordââ¬â¢s notorious anti-Semitic tract, ââ¬ÅThe International Jew.ââ¬Â
Wolfgang Benz, director of the Center for Research on Anti-Semitism in Berlin, called it a ââ¬Åunique caseââ¬Â in the post-war era because it was ââ¬Ånot merely a slip of the tongue or a slogan. No, it is a complete argument, a whole anti-Semitic speech using old stereotypes,ââ¬Â he told JTA.

[B]Old[/B] stereotypes?? I have read the hysterics of the usual suspects who get panic attacks when they hear that "Jews control everything"?? Hello; one of their own, Ben Stein, admitted that Jews control Hollywood. I didn't see the agitator groups go after him. Of course, only when a goy says it does it mean a lawsuit is impending.
Nation of perpetrators?? [B]JA!![/B]

Germany Fires General for Praising Speech
Tuesday November 4, 2003 2:16 PM
BERLIN (AP) - Defense Minister Peter Struck on Tuesday dismissed a German army general for praising a speech by a conservative lawmaker accused of anti-Semitism for comparing the actions of Jews in the Russian revolution with those of the Nazis.
Brigadier General Reinhard Guenzel, the commander of Germany's special forces, was fired over allegeations he wrote a letter to politician Martin Hohmann, praising his ``courage'' for a speech that drew criticism from across the political spectrum and legal action from Jewish leaders.
Struck stressed that the general's remarks represented an ``isolated case.''
``I have decided to relieve him of his command and to dismiss him. With that, the case is closed for me,'' Struck said.
Prosecutors in the central city of Fulda on Monday opened an investigation of Hohmann on charges of incitement, slander and disparaging the dead for his comments in an Oct. 3 speech.
Hohmann had argued that Germans still labor under the burden of Nazi crimes, but other nations with bloody pasts cast themselves as ``innocent lambs.'' He cited the French revolution and the prominent role of Jews in the 1917 communist revolution in Russia.
``With a certain justification, one could ask in view of the millions killed in the first phase of the revolution about the 'guilt' of the Jews,'' Hohmann said.
He said it would follow the same logic with which the Germans are described as a guilty people.'' He concluded that the point was not to blame the Germans for Nazi crimes or Jews for those of the Bolsheviks, but ratherthe godless with their godless ideologies.''
Hohmann, 55, on Saturday apologized for his comments under pressure from colleagues in the main opposition Christian Democrats.

Notwithstanding the damage to Herr Guenzel's reputation and career, I see this as a good thing. In their temporary fix of firing him, they've made an enemy of this man, the exact type we need to lead opposition to to Jewish dominance of the West. Yes, they've gotten this guy out of public view and suitably chastened others who may have had similar Semitically incorrect thoughts, but in doing so, they've transformed the General from an apprent mildly critical observer into a one-issue anti-Semite. As Carol Ward puts it,
"Since 1945, Jews have fearlessly crushed the enemies they create when they bludgeon dissention. Each time Jews conspire to destroy the lives and livelihoods of protesters, they create single issue Jew haters out of casual questioners."
You can only put so many skeletons in the closet before they bust out and strangle you!

How to survive attacks from the ADL, JWV, and JDL By Ed Toner

To the editor of Spotlight, The obituary notice of Irwin Suall of the ADL brought back some memories for me. Your story dealt mostly with the ADL's aThections (sp - word unknown) against some of the most patriotic organizations in the USA. They did not stop there. They went after me, an individual.

There's that, and there's also the fact that these episodes seem to be happening more frequently--an anti-Jewish remark, the accusation of "anti-semitism," followed by a serious punishment; mere apologies don't work with the Chosen.
People are starting to notice. They're noticing the mandatory apologies; they're noticing the punishments, and they're noticing the anti-Jewish comments.
