Scotland’s Sunday Herald covers a Holocaust survivor on a controversial speaking tour. Dr. Hajo Meyer says Israel’s acting like the Nazis.
His comments sparked a furious reaction from hardline Jewish lobby groups, with Dr Meyer branded an “anti-Semite” and accused of abusing his position as a Holocaust survivor . . . .
Dr Meyer also insisted the definition of “anti-Semitic” had now changed, saying: “Formerly an anti-Semite was somebody who hated Jews because they were Jews and had a Jewish soul. But nowadays an anti-Semite is somebody who is hated by Jews.”
"Hardline Jewish groups?" Dr. Meyer's the fringe element here.
He's no more mainstream than Hedy Epstein, another Holocaust survivor recently in the news for joining a convoy to Gaza, or the Neturei Karta, which spent Shabbat in Gaza earlier this month.
