An Italian politician has used the "work makes you free" slogan used on the gates at Auschwitz in a brochure to promote local job centres.

Tommaso Coletti said he could not remember the source but was impressed by the quote.

"Work makes you free. I don't remember where I read this phrase but it was one of those quotes that have an instant impact on you because they tell an immense truth," Mr Coletti, the president of Italy's southern Chieti province and member of the centre-left "Daisy" party, wrote in the pamphlet.

Countless photographs have focused on the "Arbeit macht Frei" sign at Auschwitz to encapsulate the horror of the Nazi death camps.

The governor of the Abruzzo region, which includes Coletti's province, has reportedly apologised to Italy's Jewish community.

What are you allowed to say in Europe any more without offending someone? Signor Coletti wasn't endorsing genocide, was he?

If the Iranian President were to mention casually that he likes sauer bratten that would get "translated" in our media as "Iran Leader said Jews kill children and eat them".

You think you're kidding, but just the other day, a speech by the Ayatollah Khamenei emphasizing Iran's peaceful intentions and resolve not to attack anyone, including Israel, but ending with a no-brainer that, "If we are attacked, of course we will defend ourselves," was presented in the US media as Khamenei "threatening" and "taunting" the US. Seriously.

This is from Juan Cole's 8/27/06 "Informed Comment" blog:

Ahmadinejad said, "Iran is not a threat to any country, and is not in any way a people of intimidation and aggression." He described Iranians as people of peace and civilization. He said that Iran does not even pose a threat to Israel, and wants to deal with the problem there peacefully, through elections:

"Weapons research is in no way part of Iran's program. Even with regard to the Zionist regime, our path to a solution is elections."

Ahmadinejad seems to be explaining what his calls for the Zionist regime to be effaced actually mean. He says he doesn't want violence against Israel, despite its own acts of enmity against Middle Eastern neighbors. I interpret his statement on Saturday to be an endorsement of the one-state solution, in which a government would be elected that all Palestinians and all Israelis would jointly vote for. The result would be a government about half made up of Israeli ministers and half of Palestinian ones. Whatever one wanted to call such an arrangement, it wouldn't exactly be a "Zionist state," which would thus have been dissolved.

The schlock Western pundits, journalists and politicians who keep maintaining that Ahmadinejad threatened "to wipe Israel off the map" when he never said those words will never, ever manage to choke out the words Ahmadinejad spoke on Saturday, much less repeat them as a tag line forever after.

Supreme Jurisprudent Khamenei's pledge of no first strike against any country by Iran with any kind of weapon, and his condemnation of nuclear bombs as un-Islamic and impossible for Iran to possess or use, was completely ignored by the Western press and is never referred to. Indeed, after all that talk of peace and no first strike and no nukes, Khamenei at the very end said that if Iran were attacked, it would defend itself. Karl Vicks of the Washington Post at the time ignored all the rest of the speech and made the headline, 'Khamenei threatens reprisals against US." In other words, on Iran, the US public is being spoonfed agitprop, not news.

Although Iran's protestations of peaceful intentions are greeted cynically in the US and Israel, in fact Iran has not launched a war of aggression in over a century. The US and Israel have launched several during that period of time.

Ahmadinejad made the remarks in a speech inaugurating work on a heavy water nuclear reactor in Arak. I don't think that work is very advanced. The Iranians maintain that it is for peaceful energy generation.

Oh, I know. That was what I was mocking. Ahmadinejad has said REPEATEDLY that genocide is evil, that Iran would never support the destruction of a people and is always careful to keep his critical remarks about Israel to the regime only. That doesn't stop our media from deliberatly mistranslating him over and over and pulling singular remarks completely out of the surrounding context.

We ARE being fed agitprop bullshit by the goddamn gallon. Not just by the FOX Newses of the world, but by CNN, ABC, NBC ... everyone. It is all a goddamn lie. It seems unbelievable that this is what happens to a so-called free press. Sickening.

the law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets and steal bread.
