demonstration that Hasidic Jews generally are hostile to the idea of any
rapprochement with any non-Jews. That is, Israel Shahak depicts Hasidic Jews
as constituting a debasement of Jewish mysticism, of being superstitious,
fanatical, mysogynistic, given to overindulgence in alcohol, and most
importantly, of being committed to the hatred of all non-Jews. I do not
venture such a description on my own initiative, as I have no personal
knowledge of Hasidism - but I do pass the description along as the opinion of a
reputable authority, Israel Shahak.
The incident of Rabbi Glanz being almost chased out of synagogue can only
remind us of the possibility that it may be one of Ukraine's many misfortunes
that the branch of Judaism which appears to have taken deepest root in Ukraine
is Hasidism. We see this in Hasidic Rabbi Yaakov Dov Bleich's prominence, as
witnessed in his frequent appearance on the pages of the Ukrainian Weekly, and
we see it as well in the central role he played - in undermining Ukraine, as it
happens - during the 23 October 1994 60 Minutes broadcast, The Ugly Face of
Freedom.
The second-greatest calamity. And so, the second-greatest calamity to befall
the Jewish people during this century - which, after the Holocaust itself, is
Jewish misrepresentation of the Holocaust - deepens and broadens as a result of
the Liberators film. Another blow is struck at Jewish credibility. Another
burden is placed on the backs of Jews - the burden of being remembered for
their leading role during the 20th century as stranglers of information,
manipulators of truth, disseminators of disinformation, and corruptors of
history. The consequence of numbers of Jews lying about the history of their
people must be that whenever any Jew discourses upon history, he may expect to
be greeted with heightened skepticism - such is the penalty that all Jews must
pay for the sin of harboring fabulists in their midst.

"But yet again those old Soviet hardliners can only marvel:
They spent decades smashing presses and jamming
transmitters in an effort to shut down the flow of information.
Americans achieved that happy state just by leaving it to ABC,
CBS and NBC." - Mark Steyn
Mark Steyn in the National Post (Toronto) of 15-May-2000 takes the position that
Donna Dees-Thomases Million Mom March had its projected attendance downgraded to
100,000, though how many actually showed up is the object of varied speculation;
and more importantly that contrary to the attempt to portray Donna Dees-Thomases
as a suburban mother who had never organized anything larger than a car pool
before, she was in reality a CBS employee. In comparison to the massive
distortions of Morley Safer's Ugly Face of Freedom of 23-Oct-1994, the Million Mom
March media stunt seems like a peccadillo, but does contribute to the view of the
mass media as ready to deceive and manipulate, with the CBS perhaps playing a
leading role.
Two excerpts from the longer article:
But, speaking of Casts of Idiots, what about CBS? By now, you may
be curious about that "part-time job," as NBC coyly referred to
it. A couple of waitressing shifts? A little secretarial work
for the school district? No, Donna is a part-time publicist for
