The Durban II Conference proved to be much like its predecessor in being Israel focused. Showcasing the likes of Ahmadinejad, the halls of the UN building in Geneva were filled with anti-Israel energy and condemnation, if not as fervent and vile as we had seen in Durban I. Yet the question that the Leadel team came away asking was: "Is it anti-Israel or Anti-Semitism in disguise?"

The Crucifixion of Bishop Williamson
http://truthisbeauty.wordpress.com/2009/01/29/the-crucifixion-of-bishop-williamson/
” – As I observe the vilification of Bishop Williamson occurring in the Catholic blogosphere, I cant help but recall the gospel account of the crucifixion of Christ Himself. For with the exception of the Blessed Mother and St. John, the rest of His apostles had abandoned Him, quaking in their boots for fear of the Jews (John 19:38).”
I believe in freedom of speech for Bishop Williamson

Priest in Italy defends Holocaust-denier: “- In Thursday’s interview, Abrahamowicz defended the bishop, saying Williamson had not denied the Holocaust but had only questioned the “technical aspect” of the gas chambers.” http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5gpbkisgs-EZ40shoCodJd4rfBNwAD96123QO2
Der Spiegel, no. 4/2009, page 3: – An actual event that occurred near Regensburg (Germany) at a sanctification of deacons in November 2008 at All Saints Day, could damage the already tense relation between Catholics and Jews even more.
Monsignore Williamson, who was commissioned by Arch Bishop Marcel Lefebvre, the founder of The St. Pius X brotherhood, to persue with the founders lifework, came to Zeitzkofen where The St. Piux X Church conducts a seminary in a baroque palace.
At All Saint’s Day the Swedish convert, Sten Sandmark, was to be consecrated as a new deacon at the seminary. It was because Sandmark’s conversion from the Protestant Church to The St. Pius X Church had caused a scandal in Sweden. Therefore the Stockholm based TV journalist Ali Fegan was present to capture the event for Swedish Television. After the consecration, Fegan interviewed Monsignore Williamson and others in the palaces chapel.
In the course of the interview the subject of Nazi crimes came up. The footage shows how Williamson paused for a moment and then said that he does not believe that six million jews were gassed in gas chambers. On the sudden counter question: “So, there werent any gas chambers?”, the bishop replied: “I believe, gas chambers never existed, yes.”
In this matter, he said, he sides with the “revisionists” who believe that “two to three hundred thousand Jews in Nazi concentration camps died. But not one of them had been killed by gas in a gas chambers.”
Then the clergyman talked much about technical impossibilities, the heights of Chimneys and improper doors because they were untight, but that they were still shown today to “the tourists” at Auschwitz-Birkenau.
“If this is not anti-Semitism”, the Swedish interviewer dug deeper, “what is it?” Bishop Williamson: “Anti-Semitism can only be bad if it is against the truth. But if something is true, it cant be bad. I am not interested in the word anti-Semitism.”

I’m working on a video about how extreme mainstream media is including the tricks used when covering of key domestic issues like health care.
But this video is a response to the trick repeatedly used against this channel in channel comments. It’s the the standard tactic of calling someone “anti-Semitic,” and its used to sabotage anyone who speaks out against the US government policy of supporting immoral and illegal Israeli policies which violate basic human rights. And as you can see, this person suggests using a new word for the same old trick.
Amy Goodman interviews a former Israeli minister and she helps expose this trick used against dissidents, the defamation tactic of calling people “anti-Semitic.”

The Nazis recruited and Islamic Fundamentalists eagerly volunteered for duty in antisemitic activity. The quintessential example is the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and his relationship with Adolf Hitler and his actions as a Nazi collaborator.

Even though many European governments have condemned the new rise in anti-Semitism, there is a clear perception among many Jews that Europe’s terrible history is somehow coming back to life.
Story Context on www.DemoCast.TV
“If you don’t think anti-Semitism is rising in Europe, look at the political cartoons.
A Greek cartoon suggests Israelis kill Christians on Easter. An Italian cartoon shows the baby Jesus worried that the Israelis are going to kill him again.
And then there are the cartoons that compare the Jews to the Nazis. It reminds Jews of another period: the 1930s, the time before the Holocaust.
In Europe today, most Jews are at least anxious. Some are scared, and many have already left for Israel or the United States. Because even though many European governments have condemned the new rise in Anti-Semitism, there is a clear perception among many Jews that Europe’s terrible history is somehow coming back to life.
“Jewish communities around the world are under more pressure now than at any time since 1945,” says Prof. Robert Wistrich of Hebrew University in Israel. Wistrich is the son of Polish Jews who fled the Holocaust. “Here we are 60 years after that and what lessons have been learned? Not enough.”
Distorted Media Coverage
Throughout Europe, distorted and one-sided news coverage has created an Israel that is aggressive and evil.
“It’s a demonization based on a radical detextualization, de-legitimization that’s been going on,” Melanie Phillips, a British conservative, says. “And if you’re the averagely ignorant Brit, watching your TV, listening to your radio, you believe it. That’s your world view.”
In France, a court is deciding whether a government TV channel, France2, showed faked footage of the supposed death of a Palestinian boy, Mohammed al-Durah, during the second intifada in 2000, to make it look like he was killed by Israeli solders. When the judge ordered France2 to turn over all of its footage of the incident, it also showed the boy moving his arms and peering through his fingers after he was supposed to be dead.
But Muslim rage at the original France2 news story led to countless reprisals against jews around the world. It was even mentioned by terrorists as a reason for the beheading Daniel Pearl.
DemocracyBroadcastingNews.com says the France2 story “globally defames the Jewish nation, Israel, with a fabricated icon of hypocritical brutality and immorality; and criminalizes Jews and their State to justify pariah-punishment.”
The EU says Muslims are responsible for half of all attacks on Jews in Europe. In France, Muslims outnumber Jews 10 to 1. Nidra Poller, an American writer and commentator in Paris, says the government and media are afraid of the Muslims.
“The French are using the Muslims, allowing the Muslims, to express this vicious and violent, murderous Jews hatred, and they get a free ride on their old fashioned anti-Semitism,” Poller said. “The whole Lebanon war was shown from the Hezbollah point of view. Israel was the villain. And Hezbollah were the innocents who were suffering. So all the Muslims in France got another dose of Jew hatred.”
And when Israel invaded Lebanon in 2006, anti-Semitic violence in Europe surged.
Surpising, But Not Unique
Anti-Semitism is by no means just a European phenomenon. But it is in Europe, the place of the Holocaust, where the return of anti-semitism is so surprising.
As a boy in the Netherlands, Manfred Gerstenfeld hid from the Nazis in an upstairs apartment. He may have never believed it could happen again. But he now believes Europe is re-living the 1930s.
“A senior Dutch politician told me a few months ago, ‘Look, the Jews have to understand that in the Netherlands, they have no future,’ he said.
In large part because Israel lost the media war in Europe long ago, and the Jews are still paying for it.”
