Discussing the links between the orthodox Holocaust narrative and its impact on societal and political developments in the Middle East



Since Mr. Hadawi's paper was prepared for the IHR's 1982 Chicago conference, much of a one-sided and devastating nature has transpired in the Middle East.

I don't quite recall using the phrase "sea of filth and lies" (Outlaw History #23). It was Reinhold Elstner who spoke of a "Niagara of filth and lies" before he burned himself to death at the Feldherrnhalle in Munich in April 1995. I wrote a protest letter to the Mayor …

"Much as we want to coordinate our activities with the United States, the interests (of the United States and Israel) are not identical. We have to, from time to time, worry about our own interests." That was Yitzhak Shamir speaking in 1981, before he became Israel's prime minister. He spoke …

Yasser Arafat, leader of the Palestinians, has died. There is a great to-do about it. Palestinians in their wretched refugee camps, in their slums in Gaza and the West Bank under the guns and the boots of Israeli Jews, wonder what will become of them without their leader. Thirty-five years …

Fanatics do not talk to fanatics, unless those they talk to are fanatic about the same matter/s. Otherwise, fanatics shoot fanatics, bomb them, starve them, isolate them, cut off their heads, and act generally in a way that is tacky almost beyond belief. "Almost," because human culture is soaked through …

I received a number of letters regarding my observation here on 29 September referencing Osama bin Laden as being responsible for 9/11. The most succinct reaction was from Regina Belser: "You don't seriously think that 9-11 was pulled off by Osama bin L. and a handful of Arabs, do you? …

Dear Bradley: I just went on your web site and read newsletter no. 2 (9/29/04). I enjoyed it and it made some effective points, but it also raised in my mind the following caution: any discussion of "terrorism" is apt to get out of focus by sliding away from a …

Fallujah is a city of some 300,000 people. I hear via CNN that it is thought that about one third of the population is still in the city, or about 100,000 souls. It is estimated that the insurgents number maybe 3,000. The "insurgents" live and work among the people of …

The best way to alleviate the current oil crisis would be to reach an understanding with Iran, which possesses enormous and as yet untapped reserves of oil and gas. And the surest way to worsen this crisis would be to mount a military attack on that country, which would then …

Iraq's attempted theft of krytrons, useful as nuclear triggering devices, is not unique. Four years ago Israel was reported to be obtaining krytrons illegally through a California company. Unlike the Iraqi operation, it wasn't front-page news in most of the country and was barely mentioned by network newscasts. Israel has …

Another American has fallen victim to terrorism in the Middle East, but this time the United States is being careful not to overreact. The president hasn't interrupted his vacation to fly back to Washington for consultation with his top advisers. The airwaves aren't full of blustering congressmen demanding retaliation. In …

Jaffa, 17.2.2001 After the last episode of the 'Fateful Elections', the actors amiably shared the trophies backstage. The muse of Israeli politics, like Coca-Cola, wishes to please everybody.

January 27, 2001 The touching words of Elie Wiesel (Jerusalem in My Heart, NYT 1/25/2001) painted a beautiful portrait of the Jewish people, yearning for Jerusalem, loving and praying for it over the centuries and cherishing its name from generation to generation. This potent image reminded me, an Israeli writer …

The murderous treatment of European Jews during the Second World War has become almost legendary in its depiction as a unique and singularly important example of bigoted inhumanity, carried to barbarous extremes.

In the merry nights of Tel Aviv, amid the colorful idlers at Allenby, in overflowing restaurants, where crowds of content Israelis leisurely take their relaxation, I see the camouflaged angel writing three words on the wall: "Mene tekel ufarsin." My Angel-Russian dictionary translates these words as follows: "We have tried …

The energy crisis is causing worry. However, Iran, which possesses huge reserves of oil and gas, wishes to exploit them better, with our help, and sell us the products, a procedure that would lead to a marked softening of worldwide petrol, diesel, fuel oil and gas prices. A good many …

In a direct, literal sense, the Holocaust ideology has become a threat to human life. For this reason alone, a policy of subjecting it to intense scrutiny is wholly justified.

In 2005, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad made an astute observation about the Holocaust that was heard around the world: “The West had given more significance to the myth of the genocide of the Jews, even more than God, religion, and the prophets.” He further suggested that if the West had …
