They even asserted that Lord Balfour, who gave official British endorsement to Zionism, was anti-Semitic. In effect, the speakers accused the victims of being the victimizers and used the Holocaust as a weapon against Jews and survivors who support Israel. Equally disturbing, Hajo Meyer repeatedly demonized the vast majority of the world’s Jewish population, claiming that any Jews who support Israel, no matter where they are on the left-right political spectrum, are not ‘authentic’ Jews but, rather, are ‘dehumanized’ and ‘Nazi-Jews.’ This kind of presentation replicates 1930s’ hate propaganda, which isolated and demonized Jews and, tragically, paved the way for the Nazi program of ethnic cleansing and genocide. People can disagree about Israeli and Palestinian policies and debate the issues reasonably, but no respectable institution should allow itself to be tainted by hosting this reprehensible program,” said Roz Rothstein, CEO of StandWithUs, the international Israel education organization.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
