The Israeli hypocrisy
As most of you have probably heard already, mister Ahmadinejad, the current president of the Islamic Republic of Iran has expressed doubt about the official version of the Jewish Holocaust. An undiplomatic and non-productive statement, at the same I sense some hypocrisy, since Holocaust denial or “downplaying” is practiced by many Israelis, among them the well respected Israeli leader Shimon Peres, who has denied the existence of what is known as the Armenian Holocaust. The comment made by Shimon Peres however, caused much less outrage and received considerable less media attention at that time. A point, worth noticing and worth thinking about. Shimon Peres' exact words were: "We reject attempts to create a similarity between the Holocaust and the Armenian allegations. Nothing similar to the Holocaust occurred. It is a tragedy what the Armenians went through but not a genocide."

According to the BBC the director of the Israeli branch of the Simon Wiesenthal centre, Efraim Zuroff told the Arab press:

"The problem is that so far in the Arab world, very few leaders are willing to tell their own people that they have to understand that the Holocaust did take place."

Mister Zuroff may have a point here, Still I'd like to add: If one demands respect, one should not insult others, if one demands peace, one should not act as an aggressor etc.The Romans used the phrase: “quid pro quo.” Perhaps mister Shimon Peres and Zuroff, should look up its meaning.

Ben ik helemaal mee eens en daar mag best eens opbouwend kritiek op komen. Naar mijn smaak zwerven een beetje te veel dubbele standaarden rond het Israel universum, geldt natuurlijk niet voor ze allemaal, maar wie de schoen past...
