« Yesterday Was a Bad Day | Main | Saudis Not Opening Up to Israel » AntiSemitism in Romania
By Micah Halpern
Wednesday April 20, 2016 I've Been Thinking: Anti-Semitism can be found not only among the uneducated. In Romania, a candidate for mayor named Marian Munteanu from the National Liberal Party, Romania's second largest political party, declared that Jews in Romania exaggerated the number murdered in the Holocaust in order to get more money. The would-be mayor said Jews lied in order to "obtain illicit moneys from Romanian people through disinformation and manipulation of public opinion, with the complicity of treacherous elements who infiltrated the Romanian institutional structures." Munteanu defended himself saying that he was not an anti-Semite. He also said that there was hardly any anti-Semitism in Romania because --- "there is hardly anti-Semitism, rather xenophobia. We are all philo-Semites because we are Christians." Of course, he is wrong. Just last year National Romanian TV broadcast a Christmas special that glorified the burning of Jews. The station was fined. Read my latest book THUGS. It's easy. Just click. To reprint my essays contact sales (at) www.featurewell.com 4 June 2017 12:12 PM in Thoughts
