- Dear Editor:
-
- It's so awkward to be criticizing my favorite paper,
when it is quite obvious that this newspaper for the general public is
becoming Judasized. I know, it sounds biased and 'anti-Semitic' to be bringing
up these thoughts, but the following words are not the thoughts of just
one person.
-
- Your readers begin to wonder - these daily remembrances
of the Holocaust are really desensitizing the reader who is not focused
on just one detail of World War II, and certainly not on just the pain
of one ethnic group. As if there were only Jews in those camps.
-
- It's a good and positive story, and I am sure there are
many, but we are from a class of people who study history in a general
sense, not a limited bird's eye view of just one tragic corner of that
war.
-
- Studying Comparative Government at Harvard with a Brandeis
professor around 1979, not really a long while ago, there was no focus
on any Holocaust. It was a very balanced overview or survey of several
different governments in Europe, and we learned a lot. No one heard of
this portion of WWII.
-
- Is all of this over-emphasis...or part of it a clever
'trumped-up' holocaust industry, as Professor Norman Finkelstein and others
have said? Moreover, are the same folks who publish these stories, an
attached party to those purporting to imprison those who differ on the
Holocaust thesis even in a small way, such as well known historians David
Irving, Zundel and others? Will this type of suffocation reach the shores
of the United States? Or has it already?
-
- This Page One story is yet another reminder of just one
portion of WWII.
-
- Unfortunately, the Boston Globe takes care of (shall
I say, 'cuddles') one ethnic ideology, censuring any alternative viewpoints,
such as valid stories on the horror of the imprisonment of Asians here
in America on the West Coast, the mistreatment of German prisoners in America,
the forcing of Italian citizens to starve in caves in Italy while people
were being taken prisoner during the same war? Details of the results of
nuclear bombing upon Japan were far worse than the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Grandchildren of those victims have serious health problems as we speak.
These we will never hear or read about.
-
- And another point: more and more Hebrew or Jewish words
(some, formerly German words), such as Schtick, Mazeltov, Schlep, and many
more, are now part of our reading of the Boston Globe.
-
- I am assured and have no doubt that the heavy amount
of subscriptions of those who wish to relive the Holocaust over and over
would be lost if these stories were to cease.
-
- But, perhaps we can begin a New Year and ask the Boston
Globe to accommodate the many readers who have become quite desensitized
on the subject of this forced reading matter, to include other details
of World War II. Or better still, hopefully focus on articles that would
promote an interest in lowering the United States' misdirected and symbiotic
attachment to Israel, in our quest for a greatly needed world peace.
-
- Thank you for reading this.

- Sincerely,
