Gretta Duisenberg has apologised for saying last week that the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories was worse than the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands — with the exception of the Holocaust.

The wife of European Central Bank president Wim Duisenberg acknowledged in a short statement made last Friday night that her remarks, reported in newspaper Algemeen Dagblad, had been hurtful. She apologised for making a comparison between the Israeli armed forces and the Nazis.

The Dutchwoman led a delegation of the Dutch pro-Palestinian lobby group "Stop the Occupation" on a fact-finding mission to the Middle East last week.

The Dutch Federation of Jews said on Friday that it was making a criminal complaint against Duisenberg because of her remarks.

As much as Im no fan of pallie lovers im also no fan of "hate speech" laws( not that the commie/nazi EU would ever enforce them against jewhaters).

[veronica]

Damn, trying to find a picture (she's a witch).

I agree filing criminal complaints just stirs up anti semitism.

Among who? Anti-semites maybe.

[weikel]

It makes people on the fence think there is something to the jewish conspiracy crap.

Not in the United States. But few other countries have the First Amendment protections we do.

Apology not accepted. She can go to the same h*** where other Jew killers go. She hasn't killed Jews directly with her bare hands but neither did those who led the Nazi party. The Arab Jihadists who seek to destroy Israel take much comfort and inspiration from this commie rat woman. They like to have Europeans egg them on.

Matter of fact they'll all say: The Zionist press forced our wonderful European heroine Gretta to retract but we know how she really feels about the Jews of Israel.

This is supporting terrorism and the killing of Jews. To hell with her.

The Countess bears a striking resemblence to the "Wicked Witch of The West."

Wonder if the count knows her real bloodline?

[Happy2BMe]

Nope - Ya Missed it! - Try again.

Apology not accepted. I am against criminal speech codes, but I wouldn't mind seeing her go a couple of rounds with oen of the girls in my Krav Maga class :)
