We have to be careful here - The American Jewish Congress does not in any way, shape or form represent all Jews, or anywhere near a majority of Jews. The overwhelming number of Jews are not affiliated with any lobbying organization.
The overwhelming number of Jews are not affiliated at all.
We are monotheocratic not monolithic.
Shame is all I can say..Shame in deed. From the day my Dad lectured me on the Jewish Holocaust at the hands of the Germans and their minions and the Holocaust of the Serbs at the hands of the WW@@ Croats, I felt akin. Now...I feel nothing but shame for yours. Serbs walked hand in hand to death with Jews in WWII Yugoslavia only to be stabbed by Jews in the 90's. It is a shameful scene. One the "monoethnocratic" Jewish press will bear for generations. I refer to Daniel Pearlewho wrote honestly of the happenings in the Balkans and gave his short life for the truth. His end was the same as many, many Serbs at the hands of Bosnian muslims and Kosovo muslims. Shame. Shame.
I believe you mean "monotheistic." Unless you're advocating a theocracy.
All of this is no coincidence -- the Croats, Bosnian & Albanian Muslims deliberately targeted Jews & Jewish organizations for support to give themselves credibility, and with spending $200K in campaign contributions over the last 10 years, they got what they were looking for. (In 1998 -- a year before the NATO Bombing-- the Albanian lobby gave more money --$10,000-- to Lantos than the Israel Lobby did.)
Christians bombing Christians for Muslims, Jews supporting Muslims against Christians who died with them in the WWII camps, WWII perpetrators of genocide getting celebrated as new "victims of genocide", defenders against Nazism getting called "Nazis" -- it all works to their advantage, because "a house divided against itself cannot stand".
Simon Wiesenthal was the last one to sound the alarm bell over this, but by that time no one was listening to him -- all were listening to Elie Wiesel. People might want to aks themselves why its was Elie Wiesel at the opening of the US Holocaust Museum and not Simon Wiesenthal -- because Simon Wiesenthal wouldn't go along with the lie.
"Holocaust historian Simon Wiesenthal warned against a "minimization" of the term "concentration camps," and reminded the press that "the first refugees were the 40,000 Serbs who fled Croatia after a constitutional amendment defined them as a minority." (International Herald Tribune, 8/12/92)"
The Wiesenthal Center became known for investigating neo-Nazis and other extremists, challenging Holocaust deniers and seeking compensation for survivors. Membership grew to nearly 400,000. The Los Angeles center also houses the Museum of Tolerance, which has drawn 4 million visitors.
Wiesenthal insisted that the center be dedicated to all of the 11 million people of different nationalities, races and creeds who he said had died at the hands of the Nazis - not just the 6 million who were Jews.
"I'm not dividing the victims," he told the Washington Post.
On this point, he clashed with Wiesel, who said: "My position is that the Holocaust is a Jewish tragedy with universal implications. Any attempt to dilute or extrapolate it can only distort its meaning. As a Jew, my duty is to evoke the Jewish tragedy. But in so doing, I incite other groups to commemorate their own."
Wiesenthal told biographer Levy why his view was different: "I was over four years in different camps with people from 15 nations: Jews, Gentiles, Gypsies, Communists. Through this experience, my view on the Holocaust and the whole problem of Nazism is a lot different from Elie Wiesel, who was only six months in camps and only with Jews."
The dispute peaked when President Carter took initial steps to create the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington. In the end, the museum reflected Wiesel's position, although all victims of the Nazis were treated with respect.
What a joke! At the US Holocaust Museum, virtually all of the WWII Serb victims of the Nazi/Ustashi Holocaust are labeled as "Serb nationalists" or family of "Serb Nationalists" -- the equivalent of labeling all Jewish Holocaust victims as "Zionists", smearing the victim to protect the perpetrators.
