Another prominent Democrat has trashed Elie Wiesel — the Holocaust survivor, author, and Nobel Peace laureate who died on Saturday. Dorothy Reik, president of the Progressive Democrats of the Santa Monica Mountains and a member of the Los Angeles County Democratic Central Committee, wrote an email quoting a reference to Wiesel as a “Holocaust whore” and adding: “I had met people who made their livings from the holocaust [sic] but never to the extent that Wiesel did.”
Reik had been defending Max Blumenthal, the virulently anti-Israel writer and son of Hillary Clinton adviser Sid Blumenthal, who had tweeted: “Elie Wiesel is dead. He spent his last years inciting hatred, defending apartheid & palling around with fascists.” Earlier this week, Hillary Clinton’s campaign distanced itself from Blumenthal’s statements.
In her email, Reik also wrote:
Sadly I have to agree with Max Blumenthal. I hope that people on this list do not use this as an excuse to attack my friends and associates, most of whom probably do not agree with me. Why do I post this at all? Because I think it is the truth and so I am compelled to speak out so that we are wary of others who are honored as peacemakers but are not.

“Anti Zionists” have found a welcoming home in the Democratic Party. It is a reality that changing demographics, a woeful ignorance of history in general and the Holocaust in particular have markedly lessened the support Israel once had in the US. The Democratic platform now being written is clearly reflecting this new political reality.
I truly do not understand why so many Jews vote Democrat, despite the often open anti-semitism of the Democrat party and its followers.
From Night by Elie Wiesel:
Stein told us that he had been deported in 1942. He said, “I heard people say that a transport had arrived from your region and I came to look for you. I thought you might have some news of Reizel and my two small boys who stayed in Antwerp …”
I knew nothing about them … Since 1940, my mother had not received a single letter from them. But I lied:
“Yes, my mother did hear from them. Reizel is fine. So are the children …”
He was weeping with joy. He would have liked to stay longer, to learn more details, to soak up the good news, but an SS was heading in our direction and he had to go, telling us that he would come back the next day.
Stein, our relative from Antwerp, continued to visit us and, from time to time, he would bring a half portion of bread:
“Here, this is for you, Eliezer.”
Every time he came, tears would roll down his icy cheeks. He would often say to my father:
“Take care of your son. He is very weak, very dehydrated. Take care of yourselves, you must avoid selection. Eat! Anything, anytime. Eat all you can. The weak don’t last very long around here …”
And he himself was so thin, so withered, so weak …
“The only thing that keeps me alive,” he kept saying, “is to know that Reizel and the little ones are still alive. Were it not for them, I would give up.”
One evening he came to see us, his face radiant.
“A transport just arrived from Antwerp. I shall go to see them tomorrow. Surely they will have news …”
He left.
We never saw him again. He had been given the news. The real news.
Alternate interpretation:
This self hating hag may as well hook up with David Duke, there's a pair that needs a royal flush.
Because to many American Jews, their God is Socialism.
Dr. Rosenthol took care of me and my four siblings’ teeth for 2 plus years while mom was in nursing school and dad was recovering from a stroke and heart attack.
And four years of rabid anti semitism surrounding me in college never had an effect on me, and I’d argue for “Aunt” Ruthy’s sake. She was Dr. Rosenthol’s wife.
Because hurting Jews meant hurting her, and I’d plant anybody who would have tried that.
More quotes from Night by Elie Wiesel:
He [Rabbi Eliahu] had lost his son in the commotion. He had searched for him among the dying, to no avail. Then he had dug through the snow to find his body. In vain.
For three years, they had stayed close to one another. Side by side, they had endured the suffering, the blows; they had waited for their ration of bread and they had prayed. Three years, from camp to camp, from selection to selection. And now—when the end seemed near—fate had separated them.
When he came near me, Rabbi Eliahu whispered, “It happened on the road. We lost sight of one another during the journey. I fell behind a little, at the rear of the column. I didn’t have the strength to run anymore. And my son didn’t notice. That’s all I know. Where has he disappeared? Where can I find him? Perhaps you’ve seen him somewhere?”
He [Rabbi Eliahu] had lost his son in the commotion. He had searched for him among the dying, to no avail. Then he had dug through the snow to find his body. In vain.
[Rabbi Eliahu] had already gone through the door when I remembered that I had noticed his son running beside me. I had forgotten and so had not mentioned it to Rabbi Eliahu!
But then I remembered something else: his son had seen him losing ground, sliding back to the rear of the column. He had seen him. And he had continued to run in front, letting the distance between them become greater.
A terrible thought crossed my mind: What if he had wanted to be rid of his father? He had felt his father growing weaker and, believing that the end was near, had thought by this separation to free himself of a burden that could diminish his own chance for survival.
It was good that I had forgotten all that. And I was glad that Rabbi Eliahu continued to search for his beloved son.
And in spite of myself, a prayer formed inside me, a prayer to this God in whom I no longer believed.
“Oh God, Master of the Universe, give me the strength never to do what Rabbi Eliahu’s son has done.”
How terrible to call this great chronicler of truth, suffering, and hate, and love, a Holocaust whore. I am deeply disgusted.
Their group voted in the higest percentage for the republican in the NY mayoral race.
That might have to do with a large Hassidic population. I dont know.
I have recently read Night for the first time.
I have nothing to say to someone like her.
A large majority of them are liberals. Just like about half of nominal Christians in this country are liberal and also vote Democratic.
they never got over Charles Lindbergh.
This self-hating cnt is disgrace to humanity.
“Because to many American Jews, their God is Socialism.”
NO, they are pure Marxists, and they are Obama’s handmaidens!
Boy, liberals really know how to keep it classy, don’t they? The minute someone dies, they’re on it. Any way they can exploit it, they will.
So utterly vile, ignorant, and contemptuous. Not even smart enough to keep her self-hating mouth shut.
Hey, Reik has to own this one. And her friends and associates chose her as a friend and associate. They gotta at least own her friendship.
What is the secular basis of Judaism? Practical need; self-interest. What is the worldly religion of the Jew? Huckstering. What is his worldly God? Money. …Marx was an ethnic Jew, but an atheist, and raised Lutheran by his father. These kind of writings are but one root of the atheistic left’s antisemitism.
— Karl Marx, On “The Jewish Question”, 1844
I personally revere Gen. Eisenhower for assuring the Holocaust was extensively photographed and documented, just as I revere Elie Wiesel for interpreting the Holocaust to those of us that could never comprehend the evil darkness that can exist in humanity along with the compassion and goodness within the tiniest hope.
