on the
other hand

THE battle for a free
press in Beautiful B.C.
has been joined in |
earnest. But there’s one
thing about it that
some people may have
missed:

Criticizing Jewish organi-
zations is not on.

I said that years ago, to
the rage of those concerned.
So when the same thing was
stated in the respected and
influential Swuday Telegraph,
whose editor is Jewish, it
caught my eye.

Columnist Kevin Myers’
piece was headed: “Not all
critics of Jews are anti-
Semites.”

He emphasized the sins of
the Nazis, of course. There
was no chance of his being
caught in the dread “holo-
caust-denier”.trap.

But he observed thar “we
cannot forever be bound by
the constraints that arose as a
result of what happened to
the Jews in Germany.

Dear Editor:

With regards to the curi-
ous onluvokers at the recent
“biker” funeral: I am disgust-
ed that so many people who

usually sit in. self-righteous
judgment of such people were
so quick to flock to the tuner-
al for their own amusement
aad titillation.

“It is surely time.” he
went on, “that we were liber-
ated from the inhibitions that
Nazi deeds have laid upon
our freedom of discussion.

“At this remove we should
really be able to discuss Jews
and their Jewishness, their
virtues or their vices, as one
can any other identifiable
group, without being called
anti-Semitic.

“Frankness does not feed
anti-Semitism; secrecy, how-
ever, does .... (and) it is time
to be frank about Jews.”

He identified four famous
British “agony aunts,” all
Jewish.

“They have all been
empresses of pelvic epics and
laureates of female personat
pleasure, and no doubs have
helped obliterate many tradi-
tional sexual taboos.”

But “their utterly undis-
cussed Jewishness,” he said,

“is not irrelevant. Nor is the
way it affects their approach
to the sexual taboos of tradi-
tional Christianity.”

“Would the religion of
other, differently influential
counsellors have been totally
ignored if they were
Catholic?” he asked.

Hey! That’s the same dan-
gerous question | asked with
regard to Jewish influence in
Hollywood.

Even to draw attention to
Jewish success is to risk being
accused of anti-Semitism, +

stated Myers, as does “dis-
daining certain Jewish prac-
tices, hke circumcision.”

Talk about what Jews do,
he concluded, and vou are
“anti-Semitic.”

Yes, You can discuss any
other group, But vou discuss
the Jews at your peril.

And that was what I dis-
cussed at my peril and that of
the North Shore News in
my famous, or as some would
say, infamous $200,000 col-
umn, “Hollywood propagan-
da.”

Pardon me if IT mention
him again, but David
Lethbridge of Salmon Arm,
the communist academic, is a
Jew. [identified him as such,
whereupon he went howling
to the B.C. Press Council. To
no effeet, as it turned out.

I did it because he’s big
on what he calls “anti-
Semitism” and “fascism.” So
there was a point to my
pointedness.

As everyone must know
by now, one is not supposed
to mention that the most
powerful influence in
Hollywood is Jewish, even
though a Jew wrote a book
about it called, An Empire Of
Their Own,

He can say it, others can’t.

Jewish jokes are a no-no,
tov, unless told by a Jew.

Remember how Rill
Vander Zalm was put
through the wringer for

MAIL Box
Biker funeral thrill-seekers berated

Did not one person stop to
remember that <¢ man’s fam-
ily was there grieving as every-
one of us would over the
death of a son or loved one,
no matter what peth he may
have chasen?

Did they not think of how
reprehensible it is to use
someone clse’s moment of

pain and suffering for a per-
sonal thrill? | wonder if they
would feel any shame after
reversing the roles and pictur-
ing themselves in the families’
place, beside themselves with
grief and hundreds — of
strangers sitting on the street

telling one? Front page stuff
for idiotic editors.

Jewish organizations have
made the deeds of the Nazis
into a shield against criticism.

While Jews may be the
most political of all races, as
Winston Churchill once stat-
ed, we must never mention
that they may sometimes
boost their own at the
expense of others (as in
Israel). Or chat in their ranks
there is anvone who is less
than perfect.

It’s a bit like that hilarious
Fawlty Towers episode in
which John Cleese told the
waitress who was serving
weeping German guests:
“Don't mention the WAR!”

Except, of course, that
there’s nothing funny about a
column that costs $200,000.

To be safe we would have
to pretend that this attack
against free speech was start-
ed by litte green men from
Mars.

Anyway, Lam grateful to
Kevin Myers for stating the
obvious. Let’s hope he does-
n't end up in front of the
British Thought Police.
