Jeg ser at Elie Wiesel har talt ved et møte til støtte for Israels
folkemordspolitikk. Det bekrefter mitt inntrykk av mannen: blant
utallige øyenvitner fra KZ-leirene har han heldigvis alltid stått alene
som en som med de groveste goebbels-metoder prøvde å utnytte det
forferdelige til propaganda for Israel og reklame for seg selv. Hvert
ord han har sagt har hatt en falsk klang. Når nå det som overgikk ham
overgår andre er han ivrig på mordernes side.
En slik "mannn" fortjener kun å bli glemt. Og fratatt alle sine priser.
Hans eksistens er en skamplett, som blir desto verre netopp fordi han
burde ha kunnet forstå.

Objet: AP: Wolfowitz Booed at Pro-Israel Rally
Wolfowitz Booed at Pro-Israel Rally
Mon Apr 15, 3:14 PM ET
By JIM ABRAMS, Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON - A top administration official was interrupted and booed
Monday
when he told thousands of people gathered at the Capitol for a
pro-Israel
rally that Palestinians as well as Israelis have been victims of Mideast
violence.
Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz was drowned out by chants of
"no
more Arafat" and booed as he told a packed crowd of thousands that
"innocent
Palestinians are suffering and dying as well. It is critical that we
recognize and acknowledge that fact."
Wolfowitz, the second-ranked official at the Pentagon (news - web
sites),
was one of dozens of speakers at what sponsors said was the largest
pro-Israel rally ever staged in this country.
Hours after the rally began people were still streaming in, with the
crowds
extending down Capitol Hill to the Reflecting Pool. People came in on
charter planes from New York, Los Angeles, Miami and Boston, and by
overnight bus from as far away as Wisconsin.
Most of the speakers conveyed similar messages: "We will stand with
Israel,
we will stand for freedom," said House Democratic leader Dick Gephardt
of
Missouri.
"We can't expect Israel to stand idle while its citizens are being
slaughtered," said Sen. Harry Reid (news, bio, voting record) of Nevada,
the
Senate's No. 2 Democrat.
Wolfowitz too voiced strong support for Israel's fight against
terrorism. He
said President Bush (news - web sites) was horrified by the carnage in
Israel and had asked Wolfowitz to represent him and stress that
"terrorism
must end. Hatred of Israel must end."
But many at the rally showed little sympathy with Wolfowitz's further
message that the majority of Palestinians too want an end to violence
and
that "hard decisions must be made by both sides to achieve a lasting
peace."
He was forced to stop speaking several times to wait for the crowd to
quiet
down.
Among the other speakers were Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel, former New
York
Mayor Rudolph Giuliani (news - web sites), House Majority Leader Dick
Armey,
R-Texas, former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (news - web
sites), Israeli Housing Minister Natan Sharansky, AFL-CIO President John
Sweeney and New York Gov. George Pataki.
The rally was sponsored by the Conference of Presidents of Major
American
Jewish Organizations and the United Jewish Communities.
