(25,699 posts)It'll appear on the 2013 Simon Wiesenthal Center list of "top antisemites" with this article! It'll be #2, way, way ahead of antisemitic political parties in Europe!

How embarrassing on my part.
Simon Wiesenthal is a great man who suffered incredible human tragedy and did everything he could to bring justice to that horrible situation. You're free to mock him as you're free to mock anyone, but I wonder what you have done that is even close to comparable to helping bring a man partly responsible for 6 million murders to justice?

When ink on paper accusing Netanyahu of wringing votes out of the recent assault on Gaza is worse than organizations that torch synagogues, deface cemeteries, assault Jews, and call for "roundup lists" of Jews in that nation - as the SWC recently decided is indeed the case - you have to sit back and realize that maybe politics has a louder voice than purpose in that organization.
