Oliver Stone: Anti-Semite?

From Newsbusters:

…Stone said that his upcoming Showtime documentary series “Secret History of America,” seeks to put Hitler and Communist dictator Joseph Stalin “in context.”

“Hitler was a Frankenstein but there was also a Dr Frankenstein. German industrialists, the Americans and the British. He had a lot of support,” Stone told Sunday Times’ reporter Camilla Long…

…The Sunday Times interviewer then asked why there was such a focus on the Holocaust.

“The Jewish domination of the media,” responded Stone. “There’s a major lobby in the United States. They are hard workers. They stay on top of every comment, the most powerful lobby in Washington. Israel has f***** up United States foreign policy for years.”…

A bit astounding to see, but not that surprising. It’ll be interesting to see if Stone can back and fill his way out of this.

Still, Stone has made a career out of spreading lies, and when you do that sort of thing, all manner of depravity comes to seem normal and, indeed, laudable. In the higher service (to Stone) of curbing America, Stone could easily descend in to the gutter of Jew-baiting. Its not so much that Stone hates Jews (its likely that he’d tell us that some of his best friends are Jews), but that he hates the United States, and has identified Israel as the locus of what is bad about America in the world.

When I speak of the rising anti-Semitism on the left, this is what I mean: the increasing willingness of those on the left to blame some formulation of a Jewish conspiracy for what is wrong with the United States and the world. It goes like this – if only those dratted Jews would go away, we could have a policy of friendship with our current enemies. Following hard upon the heels of such thinking is the willingness to see a nuclear-armed Iran and, in subtext, the lack of concern for the fate of Israel when faced with such a threat.

Evil feeds upon itself. Take lies as your means of operation and you’ll eventually fall completely down. Naturally, the left doesn’t view it that way – after all, they only start out with little lies, and those lies are designed to advance a wonderful agenda. They fail to understand that a lie, even the smallest of little, white lies inevitable leads to ever larger lies. The Truth sets you free – and free from, among many other things, the trap of lies.

Stone had better reverse course soon (or come up with a bang-up excuse for this report), or he’ll wind up making films denying the Holocaust ever happened. The larger left had better stop it, too, or they’ll soon find themselves volunteering to run the next Holocaust.
