| Pastrami is Italian, pastrama is Romanian, they`re not the same. Traian Basescu is not Antonescu, nor is his stupid or ill-considered remark as significant as the Iasi pogrom. Romania does indeed have a long, bitter history of antisemitism, alive and well today. But I really don`t think that Romania today is the country that Rozenberg describes. In Israel, too, we have stupid dignitaries who make provocative, racist remarks, and we also have grave desecrations. Last week, for instance. |
