Resistance See other Resistance Articles Title: Another Democrat Trashes Elie Wiesel: 'Holocaust Whore' Another prominent Democrat has trashed Elie Wiesel — the Holocaust survivor, author, and Nobel Peace laureate who died on Saturday. Dorothy Reik, president of the Progressive Democrats of the Santa Monica Mountains and a member of the Los Angeles County Democratic Central Committee, wrote an email quoting a reference to Wiesel as a “Holocaust whore” and adding: “I had met people who made their livings from the holocaust [sic] but never to the extent that Wiesel did.” Reik had been defending Max Blumenthal, the virulently anti-Israel writer and son of Hillary Clinton adviser Sid Blumenthal, who had tweeted: “Elie Wiesel is dead. He spent his last years inciting hatred, defending apartheid & palling around with fascists.” Earlier this week, Hillary Clinton’s campaign distanced itself from Blumenthal’s statements. In her email, Reik also wrote: Sadly I have to agree with Max Blumenthal. I hope that people on this list do not use this as an excuse to attack my friends and associates, most of whom probably do not agree with me. Why do I post this at all? Because I think it is the truth and so I am compelled to speak out so that we are wary of others who are honored as peacemakers but are not. In 2014, Reik, an anti-war activist, was honored by local Democrats for her effort to “move the party in a progressive direction, focusing on electing Democrats who will move on such issues as the environment, economic justice, and peace.” According to the Malibu Democratic Club, Reik “has taken a leading role in influencing policy in the Democratic Party.” Reid — who, like Blumenthal, is Jewish — told the Los Angeles Daily News: “I apologize if I offended anyone.” The left-leaning Anti-Defamation League’s Pacific Southwest Regional Director complained about Reik’s statements in an open letter to local Democratic Party leadership: “While the entire world is mourning the death of Nobel Laureate and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel — often called the conscience of the world — it is particularly disturbing that this Democratic Party official would share these vicious words, even expressed as her personal opinion.” The mainstream media have largely ignored the controversy in the Clinton camp, while focusing on Donald Trump’s tweet of a six-pointed star, which some have called an antisemitic image. Poster Comment: I can't believe this. "mainstream" politicians coming out against the late Shoah shyster? She doesn't look much like a skinhead!??! The Jew who wrote this isn't quoting her very much. This is a pattern (Cf. Saddam, Slobodan)..... Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
