Dane in Wiesenthal top 10 anti-Semitic remarks
The Danish filmmaker Lars Von Trier, creator of popular films Dogville, Dancer in the Dark, Antichrist, The Idiots etc. has been included on the annually Simon Wiesenthal Center list of top 10 anti-Semitic remarks, Lars von Trier was rambling about Jews and Nazi Germany at the prestigious Cannes festival this year.
“”The only thing I can tell you is that I thought I was a Jew for a long time and was very happy being a Jew, then later on came [Danish and Jewish director] Susanne Bier, and suddenly I wasn’t so happy about being a Jew. That was a joke. Sorry. But it turned out that I was not a Jew. If I’d been a Jew, then I would be a second-wave Jew, a kind of a new-wave Jew, but anyway, I really wanted to be a Jew and then I found out that I was really a Nazi. Because my family was German… which also gave me some pleasure. So I’m kind of a… What can I say? I understand Hitler. But I think he did some wrong things, yes absolutely, but I can see him sitting in his bunker. But there will come a point, at the end of this… I’m just saying, I think I understand the man. He’s not what you would call a good guy, but yeah, I understand much about him and I sympathize with him a little bit. But come on, I’m not for the Second World War, and I’m not against Jews… I am of course, very much for Jews. No, not too much, because Israel is a pain in the ass. But still, how can I get out of this sentence? No, I just want to say about the art, I’m very much for Speer. Albert Speer, I liked. He was also maybe one of God’s best children. He had some talent that was kind of possible for him to use… okay, I’m a Nazi.”"

Amnesty inaccurately reports Abbas condemned Itamar massacre.
In continuation of Amnesty International’s Danish department’s partial and insensitive statements about the Itamar massacre, they add in this article that:
“Both Israelis and Palestinians are shocked by the violent murder on an Israeli family on the occupied West Bank, and both sides have strongly condemned the crime”
One in three agrees with the murders.
That exactly, is the reason why condemnations from Arab leaders are so important.
Contrarily to what Amnesty International’s Danish department writes, Mahmoud Abbas refused to condemn it in any way in his native Arabic, to his own people.
Amnesty ‘expects’ Israeli human rights violations
On Amnesty International’s Danish website, they published this article in the wake of the Itamar massacre.
Amnesty writes that:
“In the weekend unknown perpetrators slit the throat on a family of 5, who lived in the settlement of Itamar on the occupied West Bank. Israel cannot use the murders as a pretext to violate human rights, Amnesty warns”
What can be concluded from this sentence, is quite simple. Amnesty International’s Danish department simply ‘expects’ Israel to use the Itamar-massacre as pretext to violate the human right’s of Palestinians. Lex naturalis.
I suggest, moreover, that Amnesty should be a little more sensitive!
