Tribute of Lies at UN
(New York Post) Andrea Peyser - Sixty years after the world learned that bored Germans flung Jewish babies into the air for target practice at the Auschwitz death camp, our oily pals at the United Nations have officially acknowledged the Holocaust. The UN Monday took the unprecedented step of inviting concentration-camp survivors, liberators, and the Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel for the purpose of shouting, "Never again." Only one man spoke the truth about anti-Semitism. Marcello Pera, speaker of the Italian Senate, said: "We have an obligation to admit that anti-Semitism is still with us. Today, it also feeds on such subtle and insidious distinctions as are often made between Israel and the Jewish state, Israel and its governments, Zionism and Semitism. Or, it crops up when the struggle for life led by the Israelis is labeled 'state terrorism.'" "If we believe that our core values are no better than others; if we start thinking that the cost of defending them is too high; if we give in to the blackmail or fear, then we have no more instruments to counter the anti-Jewish racism which continues to poison us than we have to counter the fundamentalist and terrorist racism which puts peaceful co-existence at risk." Next year in Italy.
