No Anti-Semitism Here, Move Along

Sat, Aug 17, 2002 at 6:08:57 pm PDT

On July 28 here at LGF, Arab News editor John R. Bradley wrote:

I despise anti-Semitism from the very bottom of my heart, as does everyone else on the Arab News team. We regularly emphasize in editorial meetings that Jews are not and never have been “the enemy”.

Well, the execrable Dr. E.A. Richards doesn’t seem to have received the memos from these editorial meetings, because he’s still writing (and the Arab News is still publishing) sick articles like “Another evil silence,” packed with more lies per cubic inch than a Turkish rug seller in the Grand Bazaar, and ending with what has to be the most over-the-top paragraph I’ve ever read in Bradley’s filthy anti-Semitic hate rag:

This then is the Israeli final solution: Kill, or arrest and jail, any able-bodied Palestinian men or boys in the occupied territories. Cut off any travel, for food or medical attention, so that the sick will die, and the normally healthy will wither. Bulldoze houses whether or not families are still in them with the ultimate intent of exterminating the Palestinians little by little, in the Goebbels salami technique — a slice at a time. Destroy all means by which the Palestinians could maintain life, the vegetable crops, the sheep, the goats, and anything else that might provide nourishment. Bulldoze or poison the wells, for water is life, and the Sharon butchers do not want life for the Palestinians, they want their land. The Israeli military code seems to be this: Kill, murder, destroy, rape, pillage, steal — and then lie about it. All this in the name of Jehovah? Jehovah would be insulted. No, these are in the names, natures, and acts of Hitler, Stalin — and Satan!

Right, Bradley; Jews aren’t “the enemy.” They’re Satan. When they’re not busy being Hitler and Stalin.

Does that mean they regret having worked for hitler? These people have no education, but they sure know alot about nazies. hmmm.

2 NC  Sat, Aug 17, 2002 4:21:18pm

Yeah, I thought they like Hitler.

3 dan truly  Sat, Aug 17, 2002 4:41:26pm

not to be confused with "Himmler's Bratwurst Offensive."

I take great issue with the good Doctor Richards.

No self respecting IDF soldier would rape one of those burka wearing pal women. I mean, can you imagine the stench between the legs of those women after a day of hysterical shouting at the "kill the jews' rally?

I doubt yasser distributes the baby wipes to his peons.

have you seen these transcripts of Goebbels speeches...?

change a few words, and you have the arab news...

What I don't understand is that if they all despise anti-Semitism at the Arab News, why do they have to "regularly emphasize" that fact in editorial meetings?

7 Infidel  Sat, Aug 17, 2002 5:11:02pm

All these crimes that "Dr. Richards" lists have been committed by Arafat. Wasn't Arafat's Uncle, hero and mentor a Nazi War Criminal? Arafat learned well, he is a real chip off the old Mufti.

An interesting thing about the Nazi Mufti, the Idiotarians pretend he never existed, they refuse to comment on him. Real Arab/Nazis don't interest them, just the ones they conjure up in their feverish "minds."

8 Donna V.  Sat, Aug 17, 2002 5:18:10pm

BTW, I did a google search on Richards. I'm ashamed to share a state with such a foul bastard.

I found Richards is doing a search for Polish relatives. That explains a lot to me. I should make this clear - I am half Polish myself and never heard an anti-Semitic comment from my late and extremely kind-hearted mother's lips. The only thing she had to say about Jews was that "Jewish men make good husbands, because they treat their wives like queens." She grew up on a farm in North Dakota, where Jewish husbands are, presumably, scarce, so I have no idea where she got her information from. However, I grew up in a neighborhood in Milwaukee which was heavily populated by people of Polish and Eastern European ancestry and I can attest, sadly, that that the hatred of Jews has not disappeared among some of these people. I wouldn't be surprised if E.A. Richard's obvious anti-Semitism was handed down to him by some Polish relative.

Lastly, for an example of Richard's engineering talent, visit his web site and scroll down to the picture of the remarkably ugly thatched roof "Zanzibar" Cabana Bar he actually takes credit for designing. The Wisconsin Dells have become an eyesore because of tacky crap like this.

Yes , The Goebbels Salami Technique was a little thing the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem taught Eva Braun & the Third Reich's inner circle to ingratiate himself with Hitler. He covinced Hitler,of Blessed Memory, to pursue the Final Solution (but in a good way, because, even then, Islam meant Peace). After touring the debauched nightclubs of Berlin with Goebbels, The Grand Mufti (or "Muff" to his friends) returned to the Philistine entity, where he opened the world's first Islamist Sex Toy Shoppe (if you don't count Mohammed's pre-pubescent harem). Interestingly, he was never heard from again.

10 Mr Smithers  Sat, Aug 17, 2002 5:51:05pm

How does thr song go?
We've done it before.
We can do it again.

11 Infidel  Sat, Aug 17, 2002 5:57:45pm

And another thing, if the Isaelis wanted to kill the Palis and take "their" land, why don't they. Even the most clueless Idiotarian will admit that the Arabs are helpless in the face of the IDF with the gloves off. It is one of their favorite laments "the unfairness of it all," wars are supposed to be fair you know.

Yeah just a powerful case of projection from the Islamofascists and their apologists.

12 nelson ascher  Sat, Aug 17, 2002 6:09:48pm

Hello.
As far as I remember, the "salami technique" has nothing to do with Goebbels or any other nazi. I think this name was invented by Matyas Rakosi, the boss of the Hungarian Communist Party immediately after WW2 and later Hungary's Stalin. The name was more correctly something like the "salami tactics" and, during the 3 or 4 years of pluripartidarism before the Communist Party became the undisputed one in power, it consisted in eliminating one by one each of the opposing non-communist parties, in other words, cutting them down in the way one cuts slices from a salami.

13 Harry  Sat, Aug 17, 2002 6:33:46pm

Before you let your rancor at Richards blind you completely, you should note that quite a few things in that paragraph are accurate, as the Israel government is happy to publicize. Cutting off traffic, for example. Burying criminals alive, too. I thought that went out with the Ottoman Empire.

14 Evan_the_Bored  Sat, Aug 17, 2002 6:43:28pm

Cutting off traffic, for example

Those bloody Nazi Israelis!

Troll alert!

15 Joel Rosenberg  Sat, Aug 17, 2002 6:46:04pm

They cut off traffic? Aiee! Call the UN!

16 Charles  Sat, Aug 17, 2002 6:48:24pm

Harry: I'm sorry to see that you hail from my native state of Hawaii. Educate yourself, my friend; you have bought into the propaganda of some very evil people.

17 Mr Smithers  Sat, Aug 17, 2002 6:50:02pm

I thought that went out with the Ottoman Empire.
---

There is a lot that should have been out with the ottoman empire! But the jews fighting back against antisemetic drivin blood lust? That's new.

18 ronnie schreiber  Sat, Aug 17, 2002 6:52:45pm

Donna, Poland was a complicated place for Jews. At the same time that Jew hatred is almost endemic in Polish society, more individual Poles saved Jews during the holocaust than any other nationality. There were Jews in the prewar Polish parliament.

Jews were first invited to Poland by the Polish nobility to manage their lands and other commercial holdings.

19 Meryl Yourish  Sat, Aug 17, 2002 6:53:36pm

You missed the blood libel part. "Poisoning the wells." Wow, we haven't heard that one since the Middle Ages.

Oh, that's right. Saudi Arabia IS in the Middle Ages.

20 Jeff  Sat, Aug 17, 2002 6:55:55pm

Amend the Complaint. Add the bastard as a defendant. Aren't you a co-conspirator once you stuff your tounge up the ass of the Saudi princes?

I wan to barf!

21 Bossman  Sat, Aug 17, 2002 6:57:59pm

Doesn't Bradley know that Goebbels salami causes wormholes in one's brain.

So when he says Israel wants to...

"Destroy all means by which the Palestinians could maintain life, the vegetable crops, the sheep, the goats, and anything else that might provide nourishment."

I think he just threw in the vegetables just to appease the farmers in France. As far as the sheep and goats, they're the only ones allowed on "The Muslim Dating Game" and those jihader teens love them dearly, so what's he complaining about.

And when he says..."I despise anti-Semitism from the very bottom of my heart" I was really surprised to learn he has an actual heart. I thought that thing beating in his chest cavity was an explosive device with a really loud ticking clock.

22 kathyn  Sat, Aug 17, 2002 7:08:07pm

Let me get this straight "Jews are not and never have been the enemy". Gee, you could have fooled me. I could have sworn the writers of Arab News felt otherwise.

23 Paul  Sat, Aug 17, 2002 7:22:15pm

Re Harry #13
I am disgusted with the idea that Israelis "bury criminals alive". Ammunition is not so expensive that criminals cannot be shot prior to burial. If in fact ammo is so dear in the Middle East, just let me know, and I will FedEx Ariel Sharon a box of 50 rounds of 9mm ball, or even 50 rounds of 5.56x45 NATO for every 50 criminals that would otherwise be "buried alive". Have him contact me at my email address. I'd consider it a small contribution to the War on Idiotry.

-Paul

24 Joshua Ferguson  Sat, Aug 17, 2002 7:44:33pm

Paul (#23) -

Save the bullets as in the future those who would have you believe that Jews are evil would like to visit theif 'Holy War' upon us.

If you must shoot somebody before you bury them, shoot them in the leg as to let those around know they are still alive. When nothing else has worked to stave off the mass killings of innocent civilians, sadly the best course of action is swift and sometimes harsh results as to convince those who would follow suit that it's not a wise course of action.

Infidel (#11) -

I agree 1026%, there is no way the Pals would stand a chance if the IDF took the gloves off and pumped up the volume to 11. With the IDF trying to only take out those who are directly responsible they can be portrayed as villains who would set these people back two weeks and leave them in the stone age for no other reason than their own enjoyment.

I say enough is enough, burn the houses, salt the fields, kill the true villains and just get it over with. I'm still upset about the picture of the child posted on this site months back, not to mention all the other stuff before and since. It's not going to end unless the IDF (or we) end it.

25 Donna V.  Sat, Aug 17, 2002 7:47:29pm

Richards' writing style is execrable. "Vegetable crops?" I would guess that most crops are vegetable, unless you're growing tobacco, rice, cotton,or hemp.

Since when is a Milwaukee-based engineer considered an expert on Middle East policy anyway? Bradley is really scrounging for writers.

26 Glen Wishard  Sat, Aug 17, 2002 8:21:02pm

I, too, have taken a Fantastic Voyage into the mind of Dr. E.A. Richards. When his articles began to surface in Arab News (rather like bloated corpses in a swamp), I was curious. What is his specific malfunction, exactly?

Exhibit One:

[Link: my.execpc.com...]

This is a work of fiction (I hope):
===
What are the Jews bitching about this time?" asked Fat Leo.

The Judge was back at his corner table, having wheedled an extra sherry out of Rosy which exceeded Minerva's daily limit for him. He sat back in his courtroom lecture position and raised a hand.

"It was in June of 1967," he said. "Israel had mounted a sneak attack against Egypt because Menachim Begin, the Prime Minister at the time, said they thought Egypt might attack them, so they did it first. Begin and his people called it a "pre-emptive attack.."
===

Richards' fictional judge blames Israel for what happened in 1967, of course. Maybe the judge should read a book --- among other things, he'd learn that the Prime Minister of Israel at the time was Levi Eshkol, not Begin. But they all look alike, right?

On with the story:
===
"But why hit the Liberty," asked Fat Leo?

"Because," said Dave, "the Israelis didn't want the American government to find out they were in the process of taking over all that Arab territory by force. Our US policy was against that."
===

So if Israel had succeeded in sinking the Liberty, we never would known that the Six-Day War even happened!

This goes on and on ... I think I'll just wait for Ted Turner to make a miniseries out of it ...

27 gershom  Sat, Aug 17, 2002 8:54:18pm

Donna (#8 &25):

You are a real mensch (or the female equivalent thereof).

28 BarCodeKing  Sat, Aug 17, 2002 9:09:35pm

Re: (#13), Harry, the reason that the Israelis rocketed the terrorist's house and collapsed it on top of him is that he refused to surrender and shot and killed the Palestinian that the Israelis had try to talk him out. People like that DESERVE to have their houses collapsed on top of them!

Re: (#24), Joshua, they would have had a hard time shooting Stumpy the one-armed, no-legged terrorist in the leg, since he didn't have any!

29 Dee Bates  Sat, Aug 17, 2002 9:34:19pm

What is the state of our educational system that can keep someone who has passed through it so damned ignorant? I might say the same about England. Our tax dollars have birthed this abomination. I want my money back.

30 mojo  Sat, Aug 17, 2002 9:52:20pm

I thought there was sort of an informal consensus amongst the cognoscenti that Goebbels didn't *have* a salami...

31 Jeremy  Sat, Aug 17, 2002 9:58:30pm

All the Liberty conspiracy theories make me wonder if other countries have treated the times when the US has accidently attacked the wrong targets the same way.

I know some of the Chinese think our attacking their embassy was deliberate. 30 years from now, will Chinese writers still be writing books on it, and bringing it up?

Probably. But not with as much vigor, I suspect.

32 foobar  Sat, Aug 17, 2002 10:50:06pm

Yes, there really was something called the salami technique. It was a propaganda technique using what we would today call incremental desensitization.

Neither the discourse captioned above by Charles nor the example the writer pretends to enumerate represent Goebbel's salami technique.

Bossman (#21)

"And when he says..."I despise anti-Semitism from the very bottom of my heart" I was really surprised to learn he has an actual heart."

LOL

Bradley is the G-d of Trolls. Not only is his writing poisonous, it's so damn BAD.

What is up with the psychos at Arab News?Who is their target market? Do you think anyone (besides us) actually reads this drivel?

He seems to make it up as his goes along. Some of the people that post here could outsmart this man in a New York minute. I wish he'd come back to LGF, but of course he is such a woos... He ran away like a girl the last time. Nasty prick that he is.

35 Militant Elvis  Sun, Aug 18, 2002 5:37:21am

Anti-Israeli != Anti Semite, unless Israeli == Jewish.

36 NC  Sun, Aug 18, 2002 5:49:08am

Meryl--

Good catch re: "poisoning the wells." I meant to point that out myself. Apparently, many Europeans in the Middle Ages attributed the Black Plague to local Jews poisoning the village well. This rumor was so widespread that the Vatican actually issued a statement at the time saying that it was untrue. Didn't seem to sway public opinion that much, unfortunately.

37 denise  Sun, Aug 18, 2002 6:01:52am

"What I don't understand is that if they all despise anti-Semitism at the Arab News, why do they have to "regularly emphasize" that fact in editorial meetings?"

My guess is that they must regularly emphasize in editorial meetings that the word Israel always must be substituted for Jew and Israeli for Jewish.

"The Jews are not the enemy" means "we must not say that we think the Jews are our enemy. If we say 'Israel' instead, then we are just protesting a brutal occupation, and just because we distort some facts, make others up, and perpetuate the blood libel, it's all Israel's fault."

Hey, who can argue with success? They're fooling a lot of people.

38 zulubaby  Sun, Aug 18, 2002 6:03:28am

I couldn't resist sending a nasty e-mail to Arab News about this.

Dr Richards wrote:

"In fact, just recently, they used one youth as a shield when they approached a Palestinian home where a man sat in a wheel chair, which must have scared the Israeli Army our of their wits."

I wrote that the Palestinians must have been terrified out of their wits by the the five-year old little girl they shot dead while she was sleeping. You can only imagine how threatening she must have seemed. Cowardly pieces of shit that they are.

He writes the most poisonous lies I've ever read. And what exactly is he a doctor of? He can't even construct a sentence properly.

Crackhead.

Actually, I seriously doubt they have any such discussions at all. Despite Bradley’s claim, they continue to publish people like Israel Shamir and E.A. Richards—indisputable anti-Semitic whackjobs.

In my opinion, Bradley is nothing but an untalented hack, and a cheap, garden-variety liar, and nothing he says should be given any credence.

40 J. Lichty  Sun, Aug 18, 2002 6:54:41am

E.A. Richards. One more reason for school vouchers in Milwaukee, the educatiion system clearly failed him.

41 NC  Sun, Aug 18, 2002 6:59:56am

The leaders of several Muslim-American groups are cranky because they haven't met with President Bush since last year.

[Link: www.foxnews.com...]

Guess whose fault it is?

" 'There were special interest groups involved immediately after those meetings last fall in trying to dissuade the administration from acting with us,'' says Salaam al-Marayati, executive director of the Muslim Public Affairs Council in Los Angeles.

" 'There's sort of a right wing — whether Christian fundamentalists or pro-Israel groups — that tries to drive wedges between us and decision makers,' he says."

42 Joshua Ferguson  Sun, Aug 18, 2002 7:26:54am

Sadly, schools vouchers wouldn't have helped that man as some forms of stupidty can't be cured regardless of the institute for learning.

Perhaps he the found his Doctorate in a Cracker Jack box back before they started to only give out stickers?

43 David  Sun, Aug 18, 2002 8:27:48am

Re: burying criminals alive vs. buying bullets--

Isn't rope reusable?
Hang a criminal, save the environment--all that nasty lead can't be good for it.

Re: Richards

Anyone notice that our good doctor is 75 years old? Shouldn't he be retired to some South American country like other good Nazis?

44 Phil Fulton  Sun, Aug 18, 2002 8:32:39am

Mojo, you have commited a grievous theological error. The text to which you refer only addresses Goebbel's falafel, not his salami. The only reference in the Quran to salami is the sura:

Osami's got no salami
So seventy-two virgins remain the same

45 lip  Sun, Aug 18, 2002 12:02:04pm

Joshua, if you dont grease the rope the fun lasts longer!!!...LIP

46 Infidel  Sun, Aug 18, 2002 12:36:49pm

Dear Joshua #24, You got that right. The Israelis are not guilty of using to much force but of not using nearly enough. The West Bank and Gaza should get the same treatment that Japan and Germany recieved in 1945. Total occupation, subjugation, disarming and then de-Nazify the place. Then war-crimes trials for Ararat and any other terrorists still alive.

47 Rsimms  Sun, Aug 18, 2002 4:03:19pm
...No, these are in the names, natures, and acts of Hitler, Stalin — and Satan!

Yeah, right. Stalin would sue him for libel if he were still alive. If a Stalin or a Hitler ran Israel, not only would there be no Palestinians, but Israel would stretch from the Turkish border to Pakistan. And the liberals would be having anyone who disagreed with it jailed for Hate Speech.
