Almost everyone plays favorites. People supportive of the U.S. will usually defend it for the same things it would condemn another country for. People against us in general will do the reverse.

I've yet to see many people on this site actually consistently defend any ideal -- especially when it comes to foreign policy.

I see them do it every day.

Esp Americans.

They support a policy that involves anyone but Jews suffering.

Look Serf, even when you ask them this, you get spat at, and you get no answer.....If you love 'Israel' so much.....why don't YOU go 'home'?

Tells you all you need to know.

How does one slander an anti-semitic nitwit?

You just have.

While at the same time saying not a thing about the content.

Against the rules, Patrick.

Notice how you say NOTHING, TOTAL SILENCE, about criminal behaviours.

Do you support con men, Pat?

Have we seen the evidence yet, Elie Wiesel.

Where is the tattoo you said you have on your left arm? We have seen pics of both arms, uncovered.

There is nothing there.

Others have come forward, and called you out as an out and out fake and a liar.

Just like..

Herman Rosenblat.

Invention and rise to fame

In 1992 Rosenblat and his wife had run into serious financial problems after the Rosenblat family were victims of an armed robbery that left his son, Kenneth Rosenblat, in a wheelchair and left Rosenblat critically injured. Rosenblat invented the story in the hospital while recovering Rosenblat stated that his mother had appeared to him at the hospital and had told him to tell his story to the world.

Rosenblat stated that his mother had appeared to him at the hospital and had told him to tell his story to the world.

According to Waltzer, Rosenblat changed his own true story, replacing it with the love story, and then it must have become difficult to turn back. After he had won Oprah's contest of love stories he had to keep lying and live with it. Culture-makers didn't doubt any point of his very implausible story and offered him juicy monetary offers in exchange for telling his story in a books and a film, which only compounded the problem.

Rosenblat told the apple story for the first time in late 1995, and he won Oprah's contest in 1996.

Oprah Winfrey interviewed Rosenblat in two different programs, in 1996 and 2007, and she called his story "the single greatest love story, in 22 years of doing this show, we’ve ever told on the air". (biggest crock of crap - Jack).

Berkley Books, an imprint of the Penguin Group, signed Rosenblat up to publish his memoir Angel at the Fence, with Andrea Hearst working as Rosenblat's book agent. Producer Harris Salomon, of Atlantic Overseas Pictures, made plans to adapt the story into a $25 million movie called The Flower at the Fence.

Rosenblat has apologized and claimed that "It was my imagination, and in my mind, I believed it. Even now, I believe it".

But.....now that he has been cornered as a liar, who did it to make money, surely now he will admit that...

NO!

'he also said that he did it to bring happiness and hope to people'

His family knew about the hoax and tried to convince Rosenblat not to tell it. This caused a division in Rosenblat's family. His last surviving brother, Sam, had hesitated talking to him and he died in 2007. Herman's two children were very uncomfortable with the matter.

Despite not agreeing with Rosenblat, the family never revealed the truth to the media or Rosenblat's publishers or producers.

On December 27, 2008, the same day of Rosenblat's confession, Berkley Group cancelled the book publication, saying that it had received "new information" from Rosenblat's agent.

A spokesman said that they would be asking for the money back that they had advanced, and the company has declined making any more comments on the matter.

A children's edition of the book, written by a third party, Laurie Friedman of Miami, titled Angel Girl, had been released in September 2008. When Lerner Books learned that the book was based on Rosenblat's falsehoods they said that they wouldn't make any reprint and that they would refund any returned copy. About 2,000 copies were sold.

Producer Harris Salomon wasn't aware of Rosenblat's hoax when he started working on his movie of the Rosenblat story, but still intends to produce it, as he had always planned a "loose and fictionalised adaptation."

and "the story retains its power to grip audiences worldwide" (Yes, but it is a LIE).

He had been working with Rosenblat over a six year period as the original feature film was being developed. According to Salomon, the script for the feature was completed in October 2009 with casting to commence by Celestia Fox in London. Producers Abi Sirokh, Gabor Koltai, Lew Rywin and Thierry Potok contributed to the project. The new motion picture tells the story of Herman Rosenblat, with a style similar to the movie The Insider. After the revelation of the hoax, the focus of the film was changed to a psychological love story examining why a Holocaust survivor would make up a story about the Holocaust and the love for his wife while driven by greed, fame and the memory of Holocaust.

Salomon has asked Rosenblat to donate all the earnings of the film to Holocaust survivor charities.....but Rosenblat refused.

Oprah posted a disclaimer on her website, and in February 2009 she said that she was "disappointed", but she denied having been duped by Rosenblat and that she was "minding my own business." Gayle King, a friend of Oprah, pointed out that a lot of other people had also been duped and that she was being used as the whipping boy.

In July 2009 a new video was disseminated by the gawker.com web site. Rosenblat is re-enacting his Holocaust love story, specifically the throwing of apples over the perimeter fence of the Buchenwald Concentration Camp, long after that part of his story had been discredited as fake.

On September 1, 2009, York House Press published a paperback book titled The Apple, written by Penelope Holt. It tells Rosenblat's life story.

It appears that the veracity of story was not questioned either by the book publisher or by Oprah Winfrey, and that no fact-checking was done to ensure the authenticity of the memoir prior to endorsing it soundly.

Among a number of other false elements in Roseblat's story, he claimed that he was scheduled to be gassed at 10am on May 10, 1945, and that the liberation saved him by just two hours.

War ended officially on May 8, and the Nazis had handed over the entire camp to the International Red Cross a week earlier.


But...I am sure Eli Wiesel MUST be telling the truth.

Right?

How many of these parasites are there?

Rabbi Admits Holocaust Torah Fraud, Pleads Guilty

A haredi rabbi who proclaimed himself the “Jewish Indiana Jones” admitted Thursday he was really the villain in a made-for-Hollywood swindle. Rabbi Menachem Youlus, a Baltimore Jewish bookstore owner, pleaded guilty in Manhattan Federal Court to spinning a web of lies that ensnared synagogues and donors – including a billionaire philanthropist.

A rabbi who proclaimed himself the “Jewish Indiana Jones” admitted Thursday he was really the villain in a made-for-Hollywood swindle.

Menachem Youlus, a Baltimore bookstore owner, pleaded guilty in Manhattan Federal Court to spinning a web of lies that snared a billionaire philanthropist.

He faces up to five years in prison for creating a bogus charity built on fictional tales of rescuing Holocaust-era Torahs, selling forgeries and pocketing the dough.

“I know what I did was wrong and I deeply regret my conduct,” Youlus said in court.

His lawyer, Benjamin Brafman, said the plea deal “ends an agonizing voyage by a good man with the best of intentions who ultimately strayed into fraudulent conduct.”

Prosecutors had charged Youlus, 50, with weaving fantastical tales of international derring-do to impress donors to his charity.

He claimed to have used a metal detector to unearth a metal box with Torah scrolls on the grounds of the Auschwitz concentration camp.

He sold the supposed relic to investor David Rubenstein, who donated them to the Central Synagogue in Manhattan, and tried to soak him for a $250,000 donation, court papers say.

Youlus also convinced a buyer that he found a Torah at the Bergen-Belsen camp by telling a ridiculous account of stumbling onto a hole in the corner of the floorboards.

He used the money to pay private school tuition bills for his kids and to make personal investments.

As part of his plea agreement, he will repay his victims $1.2 million. He is free on $100,000 bond until his June 21 sentencing.

Does this (and please, at least listen), sound like a place that was exclusively designed to extermiate Jews, as some claim.

Theatre.

Beer.

Money.

Grand Piano. Concerts.

I believe there was even a brothel, that may have been another camp, but possibly not.

Look.

Think about it.

Does that REALLY sound like a place exclusively built to exterminate people?

Not being flippant, but it sounds better than the prison in Iraq, Gitmo, and the various prisons that Israel keep children locked up in, no?

Any evidence of ELIE Weasel being legit then?

My assertion is that this man is a fraud.

I believe there to be solid grounds to suggest that he was never interned at all, and merely, and rather ghoulishly, stole the identity of another man.

Then became rich and powerful, on the back of his fictional stories, fictional in the sense that he is not who he says he is.

Jack, what specific proof can you produce that Wiesel is a fraud?
