Blaming the Jews for the Honduras Coup
Foreign Policy ^ | 10/05/2009

Posted on 10/06/2009 11:44:28 AM PDT by nickcarraway

The Anti-Defamation League has raised the alarm over the use of anti-Semitic and anti-Israel rhetoric by supporters of ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya:

"From President Zelaya himself down to media pundits and political activists, there has been a troubling undercurrent of anti-Semitism in the situation in Honduras," said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director. "We know from history that at times of turmoil and unrest, Jews are a convenient scapegoat, and that is happening now in Honduras, a country that has only a small Jewish minority."

These statements include Zelaya's unsubstantiated claim that Israeli mercenaries were attacking the Brazilian embassy where he has taken refuge. Venezuelan Hugo Chavez has also falsely claimed that Israeli is the only country that has recognized the coup government. More disturbing was a rant from David Romero, news director of the pro-Zelaya Radio Globo, who described Jews as "people that do damage in this country" and mused, "After what I have learned, I ask myself why, why didn't we let Hitler carry out his historic mission?"

The claims of a Jewish conspiracy are particularly strange since there are almost no Jews in Honduras -- only about 100 families.

Sincere thanks to nutnag Cynthia McKinney’s nutbag father for the following utter delegitimation of antisemitism (as if any more were necessary):

“IT’S DEM JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOZZ!!!”

So non-existent Jews pulled off a non-existent coup! Boy, they must have been some clever darned people, huh?

Irish chicks don’t go to adult catecism, they’ve had their fill by third grade. Believe me. Adult catecism is for converts to our great, universal and eternal Faith. More or less the meaning of “catholic”: universal in taste or appeal. As opposed to “The Church of England” or “Greek Orthodox”, we are “[Roman] Catholic”. Sorry about that Roman stuff but God had to set up temporary HQ somewhere. Frederick the Great performed an experiment to see if Greek or Hebrew was the natural language of mankind. He ordered that foundlings be taken to a nursery where no one would speak to them in any language whatsoever. The children died, so the results are inconclusive at this point.

The ADL is a twisted group of nasty Marxists who are laughed-at by much of us in the Jewish community. Their pronouncements are as meaningful as a cat coughing-up a hairball.

“When are American Jews going to wake the eff up?!?!!”
*****

They won’t- they won’t admit it when they’re wrong. Too much hubris. They are part of that smug pseudo-intellectual elite that looks down on common sense.

I know. I have friends and relatives.
