What do we learn from this? (a) four bits of info about a few odd bods in Germany help ``secure a massive blindspot` regarding Judaeophobia. A couple of stories, and we are thrust back into the 1930s. Push the panic button. (b)Lesson if you believe this spin: all people of Jewish descent should learn to monitor their thoughts in conversation or in writing, when addressing people outside the fold. Especially in a public venue. This is what Winthal is insinuating. Self-censorship for fear that slips of the tongue will recall Hitler from the grave. Do people who write this ever stop in their phobic search for such material sufficiently to think of the implications this kind of hysteria creates? |
