Comments on: UN, as in UNreconstructed Anti-Semites http://bloodthirstyliberal.com/?p=5549 "The hobgoblin of little blogs." "A knack for taking the already disturbing and turning it into the abjectly ghastly."

But you must acknowledge what I said, not what you think I said. "The human rights crowd is over-represented by people on the political Left..." is, from my experience, completely accurate. I do not thereby ascribe anti-Semitic views to all left-wingers---although I absolutely wonder about the indifference <em>some</em> of them <em>seem</em> to have to the anti-Semitic leanings of <em>some</em> of their causes and institutions. Insult is what we do here---it's a big blogosphere, it takes all kinds---but from the sound of you, no insults were intended. Sorry if any were inferred. I acknowledge what you say.

The pro-Nazi and anti-Semetic history of Switzerland dates all the way back to buying and banking the gold wrenched from the teeth of the murdered concentration camp victims, investing funds for leading Nazi figures, then keeping secret the bank accounts that exterminated Jews had in the hopes that relatives would never realize their existance. Switzerland is the leading force which blackballs Israel from the International Red Cross but welcomning such humitarian nations as Sadaam's Iraq, Iran, Sudan, Burma, and North Korea. The younger generation of German's have made profound efforts to repudiate the Nazi immoral past, but few in Switzerland will even discuss the history of that craven nation, lest their banks be exposed for that they are. The Swiss profit from every murderous dictator and kleptocrat in the world who deposit their stolen funds -- along with the Mafia of many countires, in a country which not only makes few of any moral judgments, but is sufficiently greedy to keep all this venality secret.
