I'll bet, tuhgoh it's not worth the trouble to look it up, that Norway or Austria do not give members of one religion any privilege, much less any right, more than they give to non-members.I just was looking at a book of Daniel Patrick Moynihan's correspondence. I read a book he'd written about international law, and he seemed mostly okay someone to look up to. This time I knew what to look for. I went to the index and didn't find Israel . I looked in the Z's and found the Zionism is racism UN General Assembly resolution and about ten references to it. I went to all ten. Over and over it was the same thing. He was dead-set against the resolution, it was an obscenity , it made the Holocaust understandible as an atrocity as it never had before, etc., etc. He never said, or the editor of the book, Steven R. Weisman, never included any mention by him of what was wrong with the resolution. How is Zionism not racism? The first rule of legal procedure is that the moving party bears the burden of proof. If you want to change things or do something unusual, you're the one that has to make the case. Zionism is the claim that Jews belong in some place as a refuge. Whether that means believers in Judaism or members of the ethnic group sometimes called Jewry, it says that this is not a modern liberal state without reference to creed or ethnicity. So it is an usual thing. Putting the tag of racism on it may be a bit much, but racism is the closest general term to fit states that discriminate on the basis of creed or ethnicity. So it's reasonable that Zionism should prove it's not racism.Now, once there is an expression of the international community saying that Zionism is racism, if Daniel Patrick Moynihan, US UN Representative or US Senator, if he wants to change that if he thinks that is an obscenity, I would like to hear why he thinks that. To accuse the majority of the planet of an obscenity, you have to do more than just say they've committed an obscenity. You should say how, in what way.So I am worried about the influence of the pro-Israel lobby in the US getting the US into the obscenity of racism, back where we were sort of half-heartedly trying to pull ourselves out from. Monday is Martin Luther King, Jr., Day. You probably know that the year before he died he gave a speech in the big posh Riverside Church in New York where he denounced the Vietnam War as racist.I was in Iraq, what did you call it, your precious Iraq , and it sure felt like a racist war. All the US people called any local, once even some South Asian truck-drivers, a haji , and as my African-American sergeant (supervisor) said to a captain in my presence, it sounded like it meant nigger . I hear that US people in Afghanistan call the locals there hajis , too.When I say that nobody is going to mess with my Constitution or my Army, it may be funny since I don't run either institution and they're both so far gone that it's ridiculous to think about saving them, but I'm not kidding.So I could use your help.
