CNN Faces Backlash Barrage for Denigrating Holocaust: ‘Amanpour Must Be Fired’

After CNN’s Christiane Amanpour commemorated Kristallnacht — the infamous anti-Jewish pogrom carried out throughout Nazi Germany — by likening it to the Trump presidency, her comments were met with immediate backlash expressing shock at the belittling of the horrors of Nazi Germany.

In a jaw-dropping segment, CNN anchor Christiane Amanpour recalled Kristallnacht by noting that Donald Trump’s presidency has waged a “modern day assault” attacking “those same values” the Nazi regime did.

Morton Klein, head of the Zionist Organization of America — the oldest pro-Israel organization in the US — expressed disgust at the ill comparison.

Klein stated he was “disgusted” by Amanpour, whom he accused of “trivializing and belittling the Holocaust by absurdly and recklessly comparing President Trump’s pro-Israel, pro-Jewish tenure to that of Nazi Germany,” while demanding she be “condemned, ostracized and fired.”

“This mindless analogy is even more cruel and ridiculous given that he has an Orthodox Jewish daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren.”

“Would the Nazis have protected the Jewish State, as Trump has, by putting the most severe sanctions on the true enemy of the Jews today — Iran — who is developing nukes and repeatedly threatens to destroy the Jewish State?”

“Did Amanpour ever compare the Obama regime to the Nazis given that he gave $150 billion to the antisemitic Iran regime, giving it greater ammunition to succeed in its Nazi-like plans of annihilating the Jewish State?”

Klein also called out the silence from Jewish organizations and those who embrace the “cancel culture.”

“Where is ADL, AIPAC, AJC, the Reform, Conservative, Orthodox and Reconstructionist Jewish movements, Hadassah and the National Council of Jewish Women, Jewish Women International, the Conference of Presidents in demanding her immediate dismissal?” he asked. “Where is the cancel culture when we legitimately need it?”

There’s a problem with the new server handling unicode and special characters.

Like the apostrophe is now trademarked apparently! :)

Amanpour is a vile reporter...and she has not the least concern when she gets up on her high horse in this way. She did it during the Aphgani/Iraq war as well...terrible reporter!

The closest this country has come to Kristallnacht is what’s been happening in our cities with Antifa and the BLM movement. And that has the blessing of the Democrats.

What the hell is she even trying to say? What values did Trump attack exactly?

Her father, Mohammad Amanpour, was Persian, from Tehran.

Amanpour was raised in Tehran until age eleven.

The comparison is absurd on its face.

Klein stated he was “disgusted” by Amanpour...

Many are disgusted by Amanpour. Many.

Because of her emotional delivery from Sarajevo during the Siege of Sarajevo, viewers and critics questioned her professional objectivity, claiming that many of her reports were unjustified and favoured the Bosnian Muslims, to which she replied, “There are some situations one simply cannot be neutral about, because when you are neutral you are an accomplice. Objectivity doesn’t mean treating all sides equally.”

On 9 October 1994, Stephen Kinzer of The New York Times criticised Amanpour’s coverage, in general, of the Bosnian War. Kinzer quoted a colleague’s description of Amanpour as she reported on a terrorist bombing in the Markale marketplace of the Bosnian city of Sarajevo:

Christiane Amanpour was sitting in Belgrade when that marketplace massacre happened, and she went on the air to say that the Serbs had probably done it. There was no way she could have known that. She was assuming an omniscience which no journalist has.
