we have a branch of the Government that is

out an organism -- even a two-legged one -- that
attacks our people. -

Irving comments: WHAT would I do without
the fragrant "two legged organisms"
(surely a bit Nazi-mouthed, that kind of
language?) around the world who send me
these press items? I really can't cover
them all myself, busy as I am.
All these antics
have a sameness about them, after a time.
After a leftist mob smashed
up my car in Brighton, England, in
1993, counsel for one of the two thugs
arrested told
the Court his client had felt
compelled to do so as he had "overheard"
me telling a man with me on leaving the
hall, "Let's go and find a Jewish cemetery
we can vandalize." I kid you not, dear
readers. In wrecking my car he had "merely
wanted to prevent the commission of a
crime." In fact I was alone (and wearing a
pinstripe City suit). The judge didn't buy
it, but the Press still printed the
smear.
Now, the same folks are
charging me with indirect paternity for an
outrage twelve thousand miles away.
The whole episode, with
this latest bit of khaddish singing,
reminds me of a speech I gave in Cape Town
in 1990, I think. Local folks, outraged
that Pretoria had refused to ban me,
solemnly walked in circles around the hall
holding witchcraft candles, tearing their
air, and chanting Hebrew incantations
against those inside.
No matter that I and my
1,000-strong audience emerged unscathed:
the mystic chanting was done for their own
benefit, not ours.
As for the much
publicized damage to the cemetery in
Wellington: Well may Rabbi Anthony
Lipman now ask: "Who could have done
such a thing?" The Wellington Dominion
Post has published
one possible answer.
The fact remains that if
you stopped most Kiwis in the street (or
me in the streets of Brighton for that
matter), and offered $10,000 for
directions to the nearest Jewish cemetery,
we'd be stuck for an answer, wouldn't
we.
Nor would most ordinary
Kiwis know the phrase Sieg Heil,
said to have been scrawled on the stones
at Wellington.  Just as ordinary
English people would not know the name of
the Nazi euthanasia chief "Philipp
Bouhler" to scribble it on the
hate-wreath
sent to my handicapped daughter's
funeral
in 1999. We are unfortunately dealing with
people with sick minds here, and they are
best left alone, to their own devices. ANOTHER "David Irving" link? I wonder
if David Moskowitz, the organizer
of the cemetery rally, is related to
Irving Moskowitz, the billionaire
Miami "philanthropist" and property
developer whose illegal settlement rampage
is at the root of half the terrorism in
Palestine? Theirs is such a small,
incestuous and inbred world, anything is
possible. |
200 attend
service at site of vandalised graves MORE than 200 people were at a
Jewish cemetery in Wellington yesterday to express
their outrage at the desecration of
graves. In bright sunny weather, the crowd were told by
Rabbi Anthony Lipman that the presence of
representatives from other ethnic communities
showed the actions of those who removed headstones
from 16 graves overnight between July 15 and 16
were not widely supported. "That act was heinous and was not approved by
the population at large. "Who could have done such a thing? Who hated so
much that they attacked the dead?" Rabbi Lipman
asked. "We hope the support you have shown today is
only a beginning. I am sure this small and caring
country will make sure the unacceptable will not be
tolerated." New Zealand Jewish
Council president David Zwartz
[]
said the Jewish community had felt the bad side
of New Zealand society through racist
acts. "What can we do about it? We have a race
relations commissioner and a human rights
commissioner. But that's not enough. We have to
face up to things
that are sick in our society." In the presence of local MP and associate
Biosecurity Minister Marian Hobbs, Mr Zwartz
(below) also called on the Government to
refuse permission to historian David Irving
-- a Holocaust denier -- to visit New
Zealand. "If
we have a branch of the Government that is
dedicated to keeping out organisms that attack
plants and animals, it does not go too far to keep
out an organism -- even a two-legged one -- that
attacks our people. "I would hope New Zealand shows as much concern
for live Jews as you have shown for dead ones." Service organiser Dave Moskovitz was
delighted with the turnout. "It's devastating when these acts of racism
happen. But Wellington has come together to say
they do not have the support of the wider
community." Police are continuing their inquiries into the
incident but have no leads. [Write to the NZ Herald's
