"Irish broadcaster calls Israel a cancer", il commento di Fiamma Nirenstein
A popular Irish broadcaster and columnist said he is not anti-Semitic, after calling Israel "the cancer in foreign affairs" during a broadcast (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=nEfw5-lRC5U).
"Israel is the cancer in foreign affairs. It polarizes the
Islamic community of the world against the rest of the world," Vincent
Browne said last week on his TV3channel show, "Tonight with Vincent
Browne". "Unless you deal with the problem of Israel and the
Palestinians in that part of the world, there's going to be conflict and
disharmony.
It's a massive injustice – they stole the land from the Arabs," he
continued. Browne said he would not apologize for the remarks, the Irish
Independent reported, saying hiscriticism was justified, though he agreed his
word choice was poor. "What I resent is the suggestion that because you're
critical of Israel, you're automatically anti-Semitic. I don't think that's acceptable,"
he told the newspaper.
No complaints have been lodged against the broadcast, a TV3 spokesman
told the Independent. Israel’s deputy ambassador to Ireland, Nurit
Tinari-Modai, told Britain's Jewish Chronicle that the embassy had received
calls and emails decrying the remarks. "I would have never believed that
the day would come when a presenter on Irish TV station would make racist,
anti-Semitic remarks”, Tinari-Modai told the Chronicle.
"Il vero cancro dell'opinione pubblica internazionale è un mediocre, patetico personaggio come questo Browne, che spiega l'immenso problema dell'islamismo politico e dell'odio verso l'Occidente con l'esistenza di Israele, anzi, degli ebrei. E' più o meno la stessa spiegazione che si davano i nazisti della crisi sociale ed economica della Germania. Colpa degli ebrei. La sua rimozione della realtà, la sua impossibilità a fronteggiare problemi che con Israele non hanno niente a che fare ci mettono tutti in pericolo".
