AW: Fwd: Henry's Yiddish Radio Project Draws Hate Mail

[Heiko Lehmann <hklehmann...>]

Ari is right, of course, although this time it´s different. Sephardic or
Yiddish songs, not to speak of klezmer music, hardly refer to modern Israel,
nor do they have anything to do with it, and they are still being taken as a
statement in current politics, no matter what the performer´s personal
opinion might be; this is concerning a lot of us. I think Henry was right
mentioning the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. I slightly doubt the
existence of the anti-semitic gene Eliott mentioned, but there is
antisemitism, and it didn´t change its roots.

Sorry, Ari. I promise that´s my only statement on the list for that matter.

Heiko.

A reminder that politics do not belong on this list. As I have said before,
there is no positive description for someone who would post political
material to a forum where only the equally graceless could respond.

Enough, please.
