Actual Cables Refute Claims of Gulf States' Backing for Strikes on Iran Gareth Porter and Jim Lobe http://ipsnews.net/news.asp?idnews=53790 .. But a careful reading of all the diplomatic cables reporting the views of Saudi and other Gulf Arab regimes on Iran shows that the Times' account seriously distorted the content - and in the case of the Saudis, ignored the context - of the cables released by Wikileaks .. .. In fact, the cables show that most Gulf Arab regimes - including Saudi Arabia itself - have been seriously concerned about the consequences of a strike against Iran for their own security, in sharp contrast to Israel's open advocacy of such a strike. They also show the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Kuwait expressing that concern with greater urgency in the past two years than previously. Those facts were completely ignored, however, in the Times' account.

| In Canada, University Master's Thesis Calls Holocaust Education `Racist' Maclean's (Canada) http://oncampus.macleans.ca/education/2010/12/07/u-of-t-masters-thesis-calls-holocaust-education-racist/ A University of Toronto student who submitted a master's thesis that argues Holocaust education is "racist," is drawing heated criticism against the university for accepting it. In her thesis, Jennifer Peto argues that the March of the Living and the March of Remembrance and Hope programs perpetuate "Jewish victimhood" while obscuring "Jewish privilege," denying "Jewish racism," and promoting the "interests of the Israeli nation-state." Her thesis is titled, "The Victimhood of the Powerful White Jews, Zionism and the Racism of Hegemonic Holocaust Education."

| In Canada, Minister Slams Student Thesis on Holocaust Education The Star (Toronto, Canada) http://www.thestar.com/News/GTA/article/903408 Ontario citizenship and immigration minister Eric Hoskins said Tuesday that he was "greatly disturbed and in fact disgusted" to read about a University of Toronto master's thesis that calls two Holocaust education programs "racist." The thesis criticizes the "March of the Living," on which young Jews and Holocaust survivors travel to Poland and Israel, and the "March of Remembrance and Hope," on which non-Jews and survivors go to Germany and Poland. It was written by Coalition Against Israeli Apartheid activist Jenny Peto, who is Jewish.

| The Holocaust and the Myth of the Past as History Howard F. Stein http://www.ihr.org/jhr/v14/v14n5p28_Stein.html For the Jews, the term "Holocaust" does not simply denote a single catastrophic era in history, but is a grim metaphor for the meaning of Jewish history. The "Holocaust" lies at the heart of the Jewish experience of time itself. One is either anxiously awaiting persecution, experiencing persecution, recovering from it, or living in a period that is a temporary reprieve from it. .. .. Thus the "reality" of the Holocaust is inextricably part of the myth in which it is woven -- and for which myth it serves as further confirmatory evidence for the timeless Jewish theme that the world is in conspiracy to annihilate them, one way or another, at least eventually.

| Holocaust Remembrance: What's Behind the Campaign? Mark Weber http://www.ihr.org/leaflets/holocaust_remembrance.shtml .. .. Holocaust remembrance is not, as its supporters claim, a noble effort motivated by sincere concern for humanity. Instead, this relentless campaign is an expression of Jewish-Zionist power, and is designed to further Jewish-Zionist interests .. .. Jewish death and suffering do not deserve to be venerated more than the death and suffering of non-Jews. The Holocaust remembrance campaign deserves scorn, not support, because it is a one-sided effort that serves narrow Jewish and Israeli interests and bolsters Jewish-Zionist power.

| Europeans Criticize Fierce U.S. Response to Leaks The New York Times http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/10/world/europe/10wikileaks-react.html For many Europeans, Washington's fierce reaction to the flood of secret diplomatic cables released by WikiLeaks displays imperial arrogance and hypocrisy, indicating a post-9/11 obsession with secrecy that contradicts American principles .. .. American officials and politicians have been widely condemned in the European news media for calling the leaks everything from "terrorism" (Representative Peter T. King, Republican of New York) to "an attack against the international community" (Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton).

| Jewish Conductor Wants Wagner Free of Nazi Link The Associated Press http://www.wtop.com/?nid=105&sid=2187620 Israeli conductor Daniel Barenboim says the perception of Richard Wagner is unjustly influenced by the fact he was Hitler's favorite composer, infuriating a Holocaust survivors group which blasted the argument as a "moral failure." "We need one day to liberate Wagner of all this weight," Barenboim told reporters Friday. He is conducting Wagner's "Die Walkuere" for the gala premiere of La Scala's season in Milan next week.

| Chinese Villages Reportedly Descended From Roman Soldiers, Say Specialists The Telegraph (Britain) http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/china/8154490/Chinese-villagers-descended-from-Roman-soldiers.html Genetic testing of villagers in a remote part of China has shown that nearly two thirds of their DNA is of Caucasian origin, lending support to the theory that they may be descended from a 'lost legion' of Roman soldiers. Tests found that the DNA of some villagers in Liqian, on the fringes of the Gobi Desert in north-western China, was 56 per cent Caucasian in origin. Many of the villagers have blue or green eyes, long noses and even fair hair, prompting speculation that they have European blood.

| Oceans of Blood and Profits for the Mongers of War Robert Fisk -- The Independent (Britain) http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/commentators/fisk/robert-fisk-oceans-of-blood-and-profits-for-the-mongers-of-war-2145037.html Coming soon to a war near you; oceans of blood, bodies torn to shreds, of course. But bring your credit card. Or a cheque book. It's big business. And there may be profits .. .. According to Israeli historian Illan Pappé, since 1949, the US has passed to Israel more than $100 billion in grants and $10 billion in special loans - more than Washington hands out to North Africa, South America and the Caribbean. Over the past 20 years, $5.5 billion has been given to Israel for military purchases. But for sheer self-abuse, it's necessary to read of the Midas-like losses in the entire Middle East since just 1991 - an estimated $12T. Yup, that's a cool $12 trillion.
