La culpa es de los judíos por existir

De Elena en un comentario. Jostein Gaarder, un autor noruego, sostiene en un artículo en un diario de ese país que “Israel perdió el derecho a existir” y compara al gobierno israelita con los talibanes de Afganistán y el gobierno racista de la Sudáfrica del apartheid.

Honestamente impresionante. Si esta persona dijera esto mismo en Noruega en relación a algún país musulmán ya estaría preso y los intelectuales del resto del mundo aplaudirían a rabiar. Cada vez me convenzo más de la razón que tiene VDH cuando compara la situación actual a la previa a la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

El articulito coincide con una serie de ataques antijudíos en Noruega, como la profanación de una sinagoga y cementerio judíos en Oslo y el ataque a un joven que usaba una kippah. Pero no se preocupen, la judeofóbia es un invento de la derecha pro guerra:

An article in a leading Norwegian newspaper last weekend lambasted Israel and Judaism and said Israel has lost its right to exist in its present form.

Entitled "God's chosen people," the article by author Jostein Gaarder in Aftenposten is raising a storm in Norway. Gaarder, author of the book "Sophie's World," links the Israel Defense Forces' acts in Lebanon to Jewish history and foresees the coming dismantling of the state as it exists today, with the Jews becoming refugees.

In an interview with Haaretz Gaarder said Thursday that he was misunderstood. "As John Kennedy declared in Germany 'I am a Berliner' ¬ I say now 'I am a Jew,'" he said.

The article compares Israel's government, the Afghan Taliban regime and South African apartheid, and states, "We no longer recognize the State of Israel" and "the State of Israel in its current form is history."

"We call child murderers 'child murderers,' and will never accept that they have a divine or historic mandate excusing their outrages," Gaarder writes. "Shame on ethnic cleansing, shame on every terrorist strike against civilians, be it carried out by Hamas, Hezbollah or the State of Israel!"
