ill receive nothing here. And you will be prosecuted for refusing to see the doctor, - he shouted to me. "I was told that my x-ray has vanished, and came to check, and also to obtain the result". He became almost pale - so visually he was frightened, as if he lost a million of dollars. He disappeared behind the gray door and soon came out with an envelope (my name and photo on it) and signs of a deep relief. "Here it is, - he told. - You must visit a doctor because you have tuberculosis". "Are you confident about TB you mentioned?" - "Yes, I am". - "I was told that my case here is cancelled - and I don't have to appear". - "Nobody could tell you that. You will be prosecuted for your refusal!" - "Your conclusions about the x-ray was a mistake, Sir, and the film reveals a technical defect or a shadow of underwear, which I did not remove. Take a look - and let me see". - "It is possible. But the law says that you must see a doctor anyway, if even this is our mistake". - "What law, what paragraph? Then - I have a constitutional right to choose another institution, not yours, to pay such a visit". Then he started screaming on me: "You don't want to pay, ah? You don't want to donate to our hospital? You came to Canada and want to enjoy our good life without giving anything back? If you don't pay by your fucken money - you'll pay by your fucken ass!" - I tried to say "This is not only because of money, this is because I can not trust you!" but he kept screaming on me - and I left him. Before I left the hospital I could find out that there is no official result in my case. No paper, no evaluation. Only a checkpoint on the envelope, in category "4". What if somebody just made a wrong hand movement - and checked a wrong place? I did not go to MCI any more. Later I discovered through other ways that the category 4 means "pulmonary noodles", which was completely inapplicable to me! RESUME: Anyone can see that drastic misconduct toward me (or in general), and hatred towards me (or towards all immigration-seekers in general?) could explain what's going on in that institution and what happened around my x-ray. REMARK: This is not a documentary story. To show the emotional impression I have distorted some small details. This is more like a literary piece. However, it is precise in revealing what we are dealing with. Also the words of Madam Lucy and Mister Doctor were cited with a precise accuracy. Yours truly, Lev GUNIN Лев Гунин. Приложения к работе "ГУЛАГ ПАЛЕСТИНЫ" ПРИЛОЖЕНИЕ ВТОРОЕ ГЛОБАЛЬНЫЙ ТЕРОР ПРОТИВ ВСЕХ НЕСОГЛАСНЫХ С СИОНИСТКОЙ ИДЕОЛОГИЕЙ В своей статье в "CANADIAN JEWISH NEWS" "WHY I AM ANTI-ANTI-ZIONIST" (июнь, 2001) один из главных сионистских идеологов Канады, активист, журналист, постоянный корреспондент монреальской "THE GAZETTE", приравнял несогласие с идеологией современного сионизма к антисемитизму, враждебному отношению к Израилю и даже терроризму. Подобная позиция высказывается с начала 1990-х годов израильскими лидерами и лидерами мирового еврейства, главными еврейскими газетами мира и наиболее влиятельными еврейскими экстремистами. В статье "Internet the New Domain of Middle East Conflict" в газете "Canadian Jewish news" (December, 2000) намеренно сваливаются в кучу какая бы то ни была критика Израиля в Интернет, подрывная деятельность и хакерские демарши. "Безобидные" взломы израильских вэб сайтов, в результате которых не пострадал ни один человек, идеологическая борьба с сионизмом в легальных рамках, частная критика государства Израиль в Интернет - все объявляется "сибер-терроризмом", приравнивается к терроризму уголовному (к взрыву бомб - и т.д.), вслед за чем следует обещание военного ответа Израиля. От имени еврейского государства статья в этом официальном органе еврейских властей Канады обещает военный ответ на любую критику государства Израиль. Еще более вопиющим звучит признание в том, что израильская военная машина стоит за "контрпропагандой" и за деятельностью про-израильских хакеров. При этом враждебные Израилю хакеры объявляются террористами, а израильские хакеры - героями! Эта статья - открытое запугивание всех, кто осмеливается критиковать политику и идеологию государства Израиль в Интернет. Можно не сомневаться, что это официальная точка зрения как самих израильских властей, так и еврейских лидеров диаспоры на сегодняшний день. Таким образом, ситуация менялась так: сначала (еще совсем недавно - в 1970-х) считалось "необязательным", чтобы все евреи поголовно были ярыми сионистами. Потом для того, чтобы оставаться в рамках еврейской общинной жизни, стало требоваться скрывать свое несогласие с сионистской идеологией или даже выражать свои сионистские взгляды. И, наконец, теперь быть сионистами обязательно не только для евреев, но и для не евреев тоже, в противном случае тебе грозят серьезные неприятности. Итак, еврейский тоталитаризм завершил свою эволюции, развившись к настоящему времени в свою крайнюю форму, с тенденцией к мировому контролю и тотальному промыванию мозгов. Наиболее символичный демарш еврейских экстремистов - суд и глумление над британским историком Дэйвидом Ирвингом. В следующем тексте на английском языке речь идет о мировом заговоре еврейских экстремистов, охвативших тотальным контролем все средства массовой информации, академические учреждения, издательства, Интернет, и так далее, с целью не допустить ни появления ни одной книги, ни одной статьи, ни одного комментария, ни одного вэб сайта, расходящихся с официальной сионистской доктриной по любому ряду вопросов, представляющему для сионизма тот или иной интерес: по истории, религии, археологии, политологии, и так далее. Речь идет о мировой сионистской цензуре. Своих целей сионисты добиваются через суды, травлю авторов, избиения, убийства, запугивания, подкуп, преследования. Такие еврейские экстремистские организации как Анти-Дефамационная Лига, Лига Защиты Евреев, Бней Брит, Институт Против Терроризма, а также организации "общего" типа, такие, как Всемирный Еврейский Конгресс и другие, занимаются отслеживанием, выявлением всех, не согласных с современной официальной сионистской идеологией, составлением досье на этих людей, и в дальнейшем - преследованием последних. Те, кто открыто выражает свое несогласие с сионистской идеологией, сталкиваются с разными неприятностями: с объявлением их фашистами, с выдвинутыми против них еврейскими организациями судебными исками, с отстранением от работы (особенно в академических кругах), с запретом на их публикации, с депортацией из той или иной страны или с запретом на въезд в ту или иную страну, и так далее. Все это мы узнаем из следующего текста, помещенного про-демократическим сайтом Mowchuk, который принадлежит активисту Мани Саиду. Помещение следующих материалов нами не означает, что мы согласны со всеми их взглядами и позициями, но ситуация настолько осложнилась и еврейский мировой тоталитаризм настолько укрепился, что любое, альтернативное ему, мнение, имеет право на то, чтобы быть узнанным. Из верности демократическим принципам мы также даем некоторые материалы, связанные с альтернативным нашему мнением. По ним читатель может составить свое впечатление об уровне и накале идеологической борьбы, какая может быть вполне сравнима с накалом холодной войны. Разница только в том, что в холодной войне друг другу противостояли государства. А в холодной войне, развязанной современным сионизмом, государства Запада стоят не на стороне своих граждан - жертв сионистской агрессии и цензуры, а на стороне злейшего врага европейской культуры: государства Израиль. 1. JEWISH EXTREMISTS' GLOBAL CENSORSHIP Jewish organization like Anti-Defamation Ligue, Bnei Brith, so-called Institute Against Terrorism, Jewish Congress and others are censoring any material about Israel, Judaism, Holocaust, Jewish criminal activity, human rights violations by Israel and Diaspora Jewish groups, etc. It not only violates basic principles of democracy and free speech, but also gives the world Jewish extremists the total control over media and - indirectly - governments of independent countries like USA, Canada, and others. Through an excuse of fighting anti-Semitism Jewish extremists actually controlling vide range of topics, practically any one, not only historical or political, but also cultural, religious, and any other. In many ways they for example suppressed and forbidden Christianity. There are no Christian signs, symbolic, ads, announcements, placards etc. in Canadian cities any more. In the same time there are lots of open Judaism propaganda and missionary placards, signs, ads, etc. By forcing Immigration of the variety of countries to prevent people, whose ideas they don't tolerate, from traveling, or to persecute dissidents, Jewish extremists are executing functions of sovereign governments. In Canada they completely seized the control over Immigration Canada, which became a Jewish institution, and this institution is getting more and more power, replacing the government. In reality they control many of the governmental institutions. Little by little we became citizens of a new totalitarian colonial Jewish Empire, which is constantly expanding and already includes Canada, US, and a number of European countries. Like any totalitarian colonial power Jewish Extremism is using (against dissidents) legal or conspiratory persecutions, lawsuits, administrative pressure, batteries, imprisonment, devastation of their victims' social, professional, or economic status. Jewish persecutors act very much as the "KGB of the modern western world". (MORE). 2. HOLOCAUST DENIERS PERSECUTION: WHO's AMORAL? The whole military, political, police, intelligence and public machine of the State of Israel and the powerful Jewish lobbies is used not only against people who deny Jewish genocide of 1930-s-40-s, but against those who would like to discuss the correctness of numbers, facts, or attitude towards the history. Amorality of the Jewish "morality defenders" is first of all their conflict of interests. For the Jewish extremists Holocaust became a busyness, a carnage of vicious vultures on top of millions of dead. They are making a fantastic income on the bones of Auschwiz or Maidanek victims. Jewish writer and human rights activist Gregory SVIRSKY called this carnage the most amoral thing in Jewish history. The next amoral thing is that not the victims of Holocaust and their descendants are benefiting from the fantastic compensation provided by the Western world to the global Jewish community, but mostly Israeli government and the extremist Jewish organizations. There are thousands of financial violations in the process of transferring the contributed money from the Israeli government and "committees" to ordinary people. Here is just a small example. Elisabetha EPSTEIN (Montreal) was issued the German compensation as a person who flied from the German occupation zone. This compensation was frozen by the Israeli authorities because she was the mother of a dissident and a refugee claimant from Israel in Canada. Money, which she had to receive, was consumed by the Israeli government! The State of Israel has no moral rights to be a representative of the former genocide (Holocaust) victims also because the Israeli regime itself is guilty in Palestinian and Russian genocide (see MORE). Israel as a successor of the Jewish North American and Zionist Jewish politicians of the 1930-s must pay a huge contribution to the victims of Holocaust and their descendants because shares responsibility for the genocide of European Jews. Since the 30-s there was a tendency to wish elimination of European Ashkenazi Jews. North American Jews, Zionists and some Sephardic leaders treated European Jews as degraded and wanted them out of the picture. Zionist leaders did not hide their sympathy to the Nazis because they both ideologically were national socialists. Contacts between Palestinian Jewish "Ishuv" leaders - and the top nazi leaders, and between Zionist - and German leadership in 1930-s-40-s is a well-known historical fact. Actually, Zionists were fought on the German side, against Britain. Notes of loyalty of the Ishuv to German Nazis were also well known. By racism, hatred between different ethnical and sub ethnical groups, fascist ideology and nazi laws Israel is a sole political successor of the Nazi Germany. Zionist leaders did not care to hide their joy about the elimination of the "assimilated" European Jews and the conviction that the Zionist homeland must be rebuild, based on the Catastrophe of European Jews. Israeli orthodox religious leaders pointed many times that European Jews were "punished" by genocide "because of assimilation". Hitler's book "Mein Kampf" was translated to Hebrew and became the most popular among "sabras" (Israel-born natives) youths book. Watching movies like the "List of Schindler", young Israeli neo-nazis are applauding the fascist murderers because they adore Nazis for their "strong will" and "no sentiments". (see MORE). 3.JEWISH "HOLY WAR" AGAINST CHRISTIAN AND EUROPEAN CULTURE The State of Israel has innumerous anti-Christian, anti-European, anti-Western and anti-capitalist laws and practices. A permanent anti-Christian propaganda presents on all levels of political and everyday life in Israel, and became a part of education, ideology, rules and even laws in Israel. New anti missionary (anti-Christian) legislation goes even further, threatening to punish people for possession of a Christian Bible, a picture of a church, a Christmas Tree or a tape of Christian religious music. Classical pieces with a Christian background like passions or messes were almost completely washed out of the repertoire of the Israeli symphonic orchestras. Composers like R. Wagner or R. Schtraus were actually forbidden in Israel because of the ideological reasons. Christians are severely persecuted in Israel, by the state as well as by the crowd - and have no real police protection. Classical music, European literature, any aspect of European culture became hardly accessible in Israel. The Israeli government initiated a grotesque and barbaric project to destroy all European architecture on Israel's territory. They destroyed and continue destroying old cities of Tel Aviv, Haifa, and other urban centers, where European architectural styles like Bauhaus, Ugendstill, neo-gothic, etc. were dominated or at least highly presented. There are legislation to forbid Christians and "assimilated" ("Russians") to reside in Haifa, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and other cities. Israeli solders were entering Armenian, Arab, and other churches - and used to open fire "to kill Christians". Israeli government is stalking Muslim and Christian communities by giving licenses to build new mosques beside the churches. Israeli official ideology prefers tolerance towards Islam, but not Christianity. Israel is ruled by so-called Jewish religious laws, a kind of an "iron curtain", which stops any information about the outside world, European culture, Christian traditions, values and historical background. Israeli political and religious circles are encouraging the puppet Palestinian authority to persecute Christians, close Christian churches and make access for holy Christian objects in Palestine difficult for Christian pilgrims. Christians are victims of various assaults in Israel. Israeli propaganda associates Christians with guilt, crimes, and evil. Ideology highly controls all sides of the social life in Israel, allowing "public watchdogs" monitoring what people eat, what they buy, what they read or cook. In Israel you can not open a restaurant, a store or another busyness without the meeting the requirement of the Jewish religion, what means that Christians are discriminated in theirs basic rights. Jewish Extremists are hypocrites when they talk about anti-Semitism because they know very well that Christians and other minorities are discriminated and persecuted in Israel. (see MORE) 4. SMALL RUSSIAN "HOLOCAUST" IN MODERN ISRAEL Since 1960-s Israeli propaganda machine, Israeli embassy in Moscow, Sochnut and intelligent services began to provoke Soviet citizens to immigrate to Israel. Most of the Russian-speaking people were persecuted and discriminated in Israel even by then. However, close to 1990-s this tendency has developed in a real "small genocide". In the 1980-s - 1990-s almost 700 thousands people from USSR (and - later - post USSR) were smartly pushed to Israel by deception, provocation, sometimes by force. Israelis had plans to turn most of them into servants and slaves to replace Arabs, who became too dangerous for "sabras" and "vatikim". "Russians" were deprived of any social or translation assistance. Sochnut and the Ministry of Absorption (Immigration) only pretended to provide some assistance, in reality not giving any. "Russian" puppet organizations like Sharansky's Zionist Forum, etc. were founded by the Israeli government and provided no real help either. New "Russian" immigrants were left one on one with the housing agents (mediators) or landlords, employers, etc. Most of them became victims of indescribable frauds and cheating. "Russian" immigrants were deprived of real welfare or financial assistance. They were forced to pay $500 - 600 a months for 2-3 - room neglected, non renovated apartments, and deprived of the social houses. When hundreds of thousands of the government-subsidized fresh-constructed apartments stood empty, thousands of "Russian" families found themselves on the verge of evictions or homeless in the streets. Under International, Jewish Diaspora's and internal criticism the Israeli government in a stubborn intention not to give "Russians" social houses started to import astronomically expensive one-room caravans, which price was higher then a construction of a conventional apartment. Caravan villages, intentionally placed in wilderness, far from cities, with no schools, cultural facilities or clubs, surrounded by barbed wires like prisons, intentionally populated not only by "Russians" but also by Hebrew speaking criminals, declassed social elements, drug-users, alcoholics, and by new arrivals from underdeveloped African countries, became artificially-created first "Russian" ghettoes. At summer caravans inhabitants suffered from unbearable heat, at winter - from cold. Each caravan was an overcrowded, miserable tiny place, never designed as a habitation. Caravan villages were dirty, devastated cloaks, where generations of undereducated, non cultural, futureless "Russian" kids were raised. Arik SHARON, by then - Minister of Construction, - was mostly responsible for that. Israeli media and state propaganda was rousing hatred towards Russian speaking people by portraying them as enemies, alcoholics, undeveloped, wild people. Crimes against "Russians" like assaults, batteries, insults, rapes, fraud, racism, discrimination, expropriation of property or vandalism against property, lawfulness illegal evictions, and many others, were never stopped or prosecuted. "Russians" had no police protection. "Russian" children were discriminated, abused, beaten, killed at schools or even pre-schools, tens of thousands of "Russian" women have been raped, "Russian" workers were not paid at all or paid less then the minimum wage, abused, beaten, and injured at work. Two sections of Israeli law - "Kablanut" and "Kviyut" codes - enabled to turn many "Russians" into temporary or permanent slaves. What we see today as assaults on Arabs was in 1990-s "rehearsed" on "Russians". Because there were no labor norms of exploiting "kablan"-hired unprotected "Russians", thousands and thousands were injured, killed, or became handicapped at work. Assaults on "Russians" and rapes of Russian speaking women became a kind of a sport for Hebrew speaking neighbors, employers, or supervisors, and the policemen. No killer or rapist was never prosecuted! The main excuse for crimes against the Russian speaking people in Israel was that Russians are hidden Christians. "Russians" were forced to leave biggest Israeli cities, new legislation to restrict them from residing in Haifa, Jerusalem, or Tel Aviv. They were moved to "developing" cities with no work and law life standards like Afula, Ashdod, Kiriat-Gat, Dimona, Beer-Sheva, etc. There artificial secondary (after caravans) "Russian" ghettos were created, where new generations of "Russians" are raised in poverty, discrimination, futureless and forced to the criminal sphere of life. Hundreds of thousands of "Russians" fled Israel. Israeli government and the local Jewish organizations like Bnei Brith are responsible for persecuting these people in Canada, USA, and Europe, influencing or invading immigration institutions in many countries to force them back to Israel.

PROVOKING ANTISEMITISM Let's imagine that lobbies of nation X around the world made any discussions about X-ish genocide forbidden, and this is when the leaders of X-s continue benefiting from enormous compensation almost a century after the genocide. Using historically inevitable from time to time unfriendly tendencies towards just any minority as an excuse, nation's X leaders are using excessive force against any manifestation of such unfriendly attitude or even what they wrongly interpreting as "unfriendly". Consequently denouncing bloody crimes against humanity of the regime of the State of X and local X-s councils (organizations) in Diaspora is called "xenophobia". Anybody, who raised deep questions about the human rights situation in the State of X and within local X-s communities, is severely persecuted. Naturally, such a policy would provoke spontaneous anti-X-ers feelings, and the denial of X-ish genocide as the most natural automatic reaction. In the same way simple as not very simple people will always test extremes of the "Jewish power"; and "Jewish conspiracy" by denying Holocaust and watching an expected Jewish excessive force in return. Blocking any civilized discussion about any topic directly or indirectly involving Jews (on historical, philosophical, ethical, religious level), Jewish extremists will face more and more dangerous for innocent ordinary Jews response on the primitive level. Jewish extremist organizations and the government of Israel do not care about safety and wealth of ordinary Jews. They represent a mighty totalitarian power, which exist in no one interests. Only a small group of bastards benefits from this power. This power became a modern inquisition, one of the modern Evils. However, only one of Them. Communist regimes, eastern dictatorships, Indian-type "democracies" (Israel is just one of them), anti-European regimes like Pakistan, Afganistan, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, etc. - they are the same. We (people who consider themselves as Europeans, no matter what skin color or face they have) must understand who are enemies and who are friends of Europe. We have already our culture half destroyed, our leaders corrupted by the Eastern powers, our countries in Northern hemisphere (plus Australia) have been already transformed into a "transitional" (remember: Eastern block, Western block?) between capitalism (democracy) - and Eastern-type tyranny-slavery. Since 1980-s, by eliminating civil freedoms and privacy, Western governments slowly but inevitably transforming their countries into societies of the eastern type. Jewish extremism is an important player in this process of blowing up the European civilization from within. Jewish extremists are traditionally anti-democratic reactionaries, who's goals are to destroy democracy and progressive thinking everywhere. Their doctrine is to take just any rights from the people, turn majority into slaves, and eliminate basic human rights and freedoms. Their main allay is not USA or Canada - as most of us are thinking - but UK. How comes that Israel, a country, where Christians are persecute, beaten and humiliated, became the most important "friend" of the Christian world? How comes that the most brutal regimes in the world - like India, Israel, Pakistan, or Kazakstan, were called democracies? Why and by whom Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, South Korea, Kazahstan, Israel and other countries with hatred to European culture and anti-European propaganda were considered as allays - and Iraq, Lebanon, Iran, or Serbia - not? Tyranny, starvation, exploitation of children, numbers of repressed people, scale of poverty and homelessness in Iraq, Iran, and some other anti-democracies are several times lower then in "great democracies" like India or Israel, where wide number of people are treated like cattle.

Instead of supporting nations, which are historically, traditionally, culturally closer to Europeans, our rulers, corrupted or threatened by the Eastern regimes like Israel, are supporting our most furious enemies. Support, which is given to the Jewish Extremists by the governments of the Western world, is not popular. People are not supporting it. Sooner or later this situation will resolve in pogroms and insults against the ordinary Jews. We all must be awaken before it not too late... MORE (1) CONTENT 1.

Nazi Propaganda Film Collective Guilt Paralysis of the Comparative Function 60 Minutes' Cheap Shots Ukrainian Anti-Semitism Jewish Ukrainophobia Mailbag A Sense of Responsibility What 60 Minutes Should Do PostScript Preface On 23 Oct 1994, CBS television broadcast a twelve-minute segment on its weekly investigative-journalism show 60 Minutes titled The Ugly Face of Freedom, produced by Jeffrey Fager and hosted by Morley Safer. The program's goal was to indict Ukrainian society and history and to discredit the legitimacy of the Ukrainian State. The program's method was to pack the broadcast with what may be the most concentrated segment of disinformation, calumny, and hatred ever to make its appearance in the mainstream media. The program had been ready for over half a year, but was not broadcast until the first official visit to the United States of Ukrainian President Leonid Kuchma. Whether this timing was by coincidence or design became the subject of comment among some program viewers. From the beginning of the affair, it could not escape notice that this broadcast was not only an attack upon Ukrainians and upon the nation of Ukraine, but that it was a Jewish attack, this because every last person bearing responsibility for the broadcast, from the very top of the chain of command to the very bottom, was Jewish: Laurence Tisch, Chairman and CEO of CBS Eric Ober, President of CBS News Don Hewitt, Executive Producer of 60 Minutes Jeffrey Fager, Producer of The Ugly Face of Freedom Morley Safer, Program Host Simon Wiesenthal, one of the two featured program witnesses Yaakov Bleich, the other of the two featured program witnesses That attacks upon Ukraine come overwhelmingly from Jews has been amply documented on the Ukrainian Archive (UKAR), as for example in the discussion of Jerzy Kosinski, where it is noted that ten out of ten of the leading calumniators of Ukraine are Jews. Possible reasons for this phenomenon have been discussed throughout UKAR, with three of the chief reasons being: (1) the acceleration of the brain drain from Ukraine to Israel with the help of a partly-magnified and partly-incited resentment against Jews, (2) the heightening of Jewish cohesion through the inculcation of fear and hatred of Gentiles, as by the Jewish keeping alive of a distorted memory of the Khmelnytsky rebellion of 1648, and (3) the need to discredit the historical observation that Jews typically victimize Ukrainians by inculcating the opposite image of Ukrainians victimizing Jews. On 15 Nov 1994, I mailed a letter to then CBS Chairman Laurence A. Tisch which consisted of a lengthy critique of the 60 Minutes broadcast. I simultaneously mailed copies of this letter to the host of the broadcast, Morley Safer, as well as the co-hosts Ed Bradley, Steve Kroft, Lesley Stahl, and Mike Wallace. I received no reply from any of them. On 17 Dec 1994, I mailed a covering letter to Laurence Tisch together with an expanded version of my critique (the critique was now titled The Ugly Face of 60 Minutes, and was dated 11 Dec 1994), with copies to the same host and co-hosts. I again received no reply. In an attempt to clarify the accuracy of the 60 Minutes broadcast, other letters were sent, among them letters to Michael Jordan, Chairman of Westinghouse, following the Westinghouse purchase of CBS in 1995, letters to Simon Wiesenthal, star witness on The Ugly Face of Freedom, and letters to Rabbi Yaakov Bleich, supporting witness on the same program. Nor were my letters the only ones sent - in fact, CBS received some 16,000 pieces of mail protesting the 60 Minutes broadcast. To my knowledge, not a single one of these letters has ever been answered, or even acknowledged, the muteness of CBS and others involved leaving the impression that they are unable to muster any defense for the 60 Minutes broadcast. At that time, and since, I have circulated copies of my critique widely, and have received many favorable comments. In a small number of instances, I was grateful for helpful suggestions as to minor revisions; however, no one challenged any of my major criticisms or arguments, encouraging me to believe that these were fundamentally correct. Below you will find the latest version of this same critique, substantially longer and more detailed than the original, but basically offering no more than an elaboration of the material already long in the hands of CBS. I will not again waste postage mailing this critique to CBS - with the advent of the internet, there are less costly ways to disseminate information; if CBS wants to see this latest version, it will have no trouble finding it. The defects of the 60 Minutes broadcast as so multifarious, that it is difficult to capture them in one brief statement. If one were to attempt to do so, then the statement might mention that 60 Minutes misrepresented the historical record, provided mistranslations of statements originally made in Ukrainian, suppressed pertinent information concerning Ukrainian-Jewish relations during World War II, encouraged retrogressive notions of collective guilt, altered the dates on which events were supposed to have occurred, doctored the sound track, accepted dubious and implausible statements from sources whose credibility had not been established or whose credibility should have been suspect, and generally in numerous instances employed questionable evidence to point to conclusions that were untrue, provocative, and inflammatory. There follows below an outline of the chief defects of this 60 Minutes broadcast. CONTENTS: Preface The Galicia Division Quality of Translation Ukrainian Homogeneity Were Ukrainians Nazis? Simon Wiesenthal What Happened in Lviv? Nazi Propaganda Film Collective Guilt Paralysis of the Comparative Function 60 Minutes' Cheap Shots Ukrainian Anti-Semitism Jewish Ukrainophobia Mailbag A Sense of Responsibility What 60 Minutes Should Do PostScript The Galicia Division 60 Minutes' chief piece of evidence for Ukrainian anti-Semitism and predilection for Naziism seems to be the official celebrations commemorating the Galicia Division. Elderly men in civilian dress are shown wearing military insignia in a recent reunion in the city of Lviv, Ukraine (Lvov in Russian, Lwow in Polish, formerly Lemberg). Mr. Safer informs us that "Thousands of Ukrainians joined the SS and marched off to fight for Naziism," and that "Nowhere, not even in Germany, are the SS so openly celebrated," and that "Many of the Ukrainian men of Lvov who marched off as members of the SS never returned - killed fighting for Hitler." The impression created in the viewer's mind is that these veterans are unanimously guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity, that they were once supporters of and now continue to be admirers of Hitler, that they sympathized with Nazi ambitions during World War II, that they are the remnants of a much larger group of Ukrainians who shared a similar orientation, and that as their reunion was sanctioned by the Lviv City Council and the Ukrainian Catholic Church, similar charges must apply to Ukrainians generally. To all this, however, I must echo Cardinal Lubachivsky's words: "It is not true!" The Galicia Division was recruited by the Germans only well into the war, in the summer and fall of 1943 when they were beginning to experience setbacks on their Eastern front. That the Galicia Division was considered an "SS" division does not bear the significance given it by 60 Minutes - it was a Waffen SS division, which is quite a different thing: "Like other German volunteer units, the Division Halychyna [Galicia] was included in the 14th Grenadier Division of the SS-Waffen." (Ukraine: A Concise Encyclopaedia, Volume 2, p. 1088.) Five qualities of the Galicia Division make it a most atypical component of the stereotype of the SS: (1) it was strictly a combat unit and so played no role in the management of concentration camps or death camps, (2) its Ukrainian members wore a lion rampant instead of an "SS" on their right collars during most of the life of the division, (3) it was accompanied by Ukrainian chaplains who attended to the spiritual needs of the troops, (4) it was kept separate from other German forces, and (5) it was created with the proviso that it never be used against the Western Allies, but only against Soviet forces on the Eastern front. These five qualities alone render the Galicia Division an entity unlike any that was being conjured up in the minds of 60 Minutes viewers.
