Powers, Principalities and Dominions of the Unspeakable
Things are getting interestinger and interestinger in Israel.
Today, Arutz is bringing news that Eyal Arad, an advisor to
the prime minister, says :
"The nation hates you [the Jewish
public living in Judea and Samaria] as much as it hates the
Arabs, and my job is to make sure they hate you even more."
Mr. Arad, as weasels are wont to do, is weaseling. He's claiming
he never uttered those words. "I didn't say it. Nobody heard
me say it! You can't prove anything!!" Well, not quite those
terms but near enough.
What he can't weasel out of, however, is the rest of his slime-
trail. It's there for all to see, like something left by a murder-
snail.
Seems that in 2004, Mr. Arad went to work for a well-known
Romanian antisemite named Vadim Tudor. Even the rather
liberal/leftwing Anti-defamation League was appalled, and said
so:
It is appalling that Eyal Arad has agreed to run the Presidential
election campaign of Vadim Tudor, a known anti-Semite,
thereby giving credibility to Mr. Tudor and his party, Romania
Mare. Through his party’s newspaper and in public statements
Mr. Tudor has a long and entrenched history of anti-Semitism
and anti-Jewish conspiracy theories.Now, the ADL may have the idea that Jews cannot be antisemites.
It is a tempting concept, but events prove otherwise. Just think
of the words of Shimon Peres:
"There's too many Jews in Israel, and not enough Israelis. "
Anyway, here's another description of Mr. Arad's onetime
employer:
..the platform of which Time magazine described as "a crude
mixture of anti-Semitism, racism and nostalgia for the good
old days of communism." To this, one ought to add ultra-
Nationalism, anti-Magyarism, anti-Gypsyism, and frequently
featured (albeit less proeminent) homophobia.
So Mr. Arad has some explaining to do. So have his employers.
Oh, I forget. One of his employers, the erstwhile Ariel Sharon,
is currently and conveniently zombified. The other one of
recent (herostratic) fame, Mr. Olmert is busy living up to his
name. If you spoke Norwegian you might get the joke - here's
a hint:
Not a particularly good joke, but suitably sickening.
Getting back to Mr. Arad for a moment, there's more. He
seems to have been a central consultant for Mr. Spielberg
in his latest pro-terrorist venture in "humanizing" and
sanitizing the mass murderers in "Munich".
What's next, Kadima/Arad/Olmert? Holocaust denial?
