As a college student in 1990, Klein wrote an editorial (see http://www.unwatch.org/naomiklein)for the University of Toronto's student newspaper The Varsity, entitled "Victim to victimizer." In her various accounts, Klein describes a simple op-ed that urged Israel to "end the occupation not only for the Palestinians, but also for its own people, especially its women." To organize a response, she claims, no less than 500 Jewish students gathered for a "lynch mob" meeting. However, she showed up herself, unrecognized, and stood up and told them off. "I was 19," Klein told the Guardian, "and it made me tough." The experience "prepared me for controversy," empowering her to take on multinationals and the World Bank. Heroic stuff.

The facts, though, tell a very different story.

Klein's article was anything but normal. Its thesis sentence and blaring headline: "What Israel has become: Racism and misogyny at the core of its being."

"Israeli men," she said, "reach maturity by brutalizing and degrading Palestinians." Then there was "Israeli men's misogyny toward Israeli women."

Most disturbing, said Klein, "is something known to Israeli women as 'Holocaust pornography,' where images of emaciated women near ovens, shower heads, cattle cars and the like are used to sell clothing and other products." Jewish women, she informed her readers, "are sexualized as Holocaust victims for Israeli men to masturbate over ... the themes are fire, gas, trains, emaciation and death."

If such aberrant ads or magazines ever existed, they were well hidden. But Klein was looking to demonize – not only Israel, but Judaism, and Jews.

"A Jewish education is an education of fear," continued Klein. "Jews made the shift from victims to victimizers with terrifying ease."

"I wish to be saved from Israel," she concluded. "I am a Jew against Israel – just as Israel repeatedly proves itself to be against me."

“The real holocaust deniers are those hateful zionists who deny the fact that massacres, ethnic cleansing, expulsions against the Palestinians have taken place. In particular, they deny the fact that hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were expelled by the marauding Zionists in 1948, but instead blame the victims, whom they accuse of voluntarily leaving. Zionist extremists go as far as to deny the fact that even a Palestinian people”

“I’m not sure if 6 million Jews were systematically annihilated in the Holocaust. That figure seems incredibly high and unrealistic. It’s almost like a bunch of Jews got together one day during the Second World War and fabricated lies about genocide to elicit sympathy from the civilized world in an effort to establish a Jewish state at the expense of the Palestinians. Oh wait! That really did happen!”

“I am getting on for sixty years of age. I do, in fact, remember when the term “The Holocaust” was coined. It was in the mid-1970s. That was when the Hollywoodisation of these terrible camps in eastern Europe began.
I have no dispute with historians. I dispute cultural manipulators. That is why I will not use this term from the 1970s. The issue is entirely properly described as:
“German camps programme 1941-45″
… and there is no reason why we should ever use the manipulative “Holocaust”.”

“The Zionist state is accelerating its Hasbara campaign, by forming “Internet Warfare Squads”, their sole remit: to post pro-Israel responses on websites worldwide. This assault on free speech and effectively muzzling any criticism of Israel is a tool which will be used in the public relations war, the Zionist thought police are only a click away.

Ynet news reports that the Israel Foreign Ministry intends to hire young people who speak at least one language and who study communication, political science, or law – or alternately, Israelis with military experience gained at units dealing with information analysis.

A budget of $150,000 has been set aside to pay the bloggers who will serve the Zionist state.

If the great and the good supporters of the Zionist state believed that their state is doing the right thing, then wouldn’t they be able to advocate their message without being paid?

Israeli Foreign Ministry officials are fighting what they see as a terrible and scary monster: the Palestinian public relations monster.

Yet nothing can be done to defeat it, regardless of how many foolish inventions will be introduced and how many bright communication students will be hired.

The reason is that good PR cannot make the reality in the occupied territories any prettier.

Children are being killed, homes are being bombed, and families are starved.
Yet nonetheless, the Zionists want to change the perception of the world.”

“Zionist/ Israel, The Israeli Lobby and organized jewish power is more tyrannical, blood thirsty and despotic and opressive than any other government or organized political groups in the world. They are more like the Hollywood version of what a “Nazi” is more than anyone in history.

Of course what they did in Gaza and have been doing in all of Palestine since 1948 at least is a war crime and ethnic cleansing. Thje difference is if it’s jewish groups that do it all the sudden all kinds suspicious people come out of the woodwork in droves to defend it.

The Israeli leadership should all be tried for war crimes and ethnic cleansing and prosecuted to the full extenet of the law.”

“Interesting to see this article provoking the ZioNazis to come out of their holes. Note the references to the attacks of suicide bombers and no reference to Sabra, Chatila or the recent Gaza massacres. The reality is that the Israelis have created a giant ghetto in the West Bank. The daily harassment of Palestinians is little short of barbarous and shows that the Israeli state exists in a moral and ethical void. What is taking place is slow burn ethnic cleansing and it is no surprise that Israel was a key supporter of apartheid South Africa. The Israeli apologists on this site are cowards in every sense of the word because they resort to endless lying to justify the Israeli policy of lebensraum”
