Dear Ambassador
Moustapha,
Re: The hypocritical
double standard of the
Bush administration in
regard to Syria, human
rights violations, and
Holocaust revisionists.
In a public statement
issued on December 10,
2005, President Bush
called for the immediate
and unconditional
release of prisoners of
conscience by the Syrian
authorities, labeling
the imprisonment of
these individuals as an
example of the
government of Syria’s
ongoing repression of
Syrian people. I will
quote directly from his
statement: “As we
commemorate Human Rights
Day, we call attention
to the continued
imprisonment in Syria of
Dr. Kamal Labwani and
the many other prisoners
of conscience whom the
Syrian authorities have
denied the fundamental
right to freedom of
opinion and expression.”
Apparently, President
Bush and his
administration operate
with a hypocritical
double standard. He
chided the Syrian
government for
imprisoning Syrian
prisoners of conscience,
yet under his
administration he
allowed the deportation
and imprisonment of the
German prisoners of
conscience Ernst Zundel
and Germar Rudolf.
In Europe and the US,
you can openly deny the
existence of God or
lampoon and criticize
the Christian and
Islamic religions.
However, if you question
and refute the Holocaust
ideology, as Zundel and
Rudolf have done, you
can suffer severe
persecution here in the
US and end up in prison
in Europe.
Ernst Zundel is a
German-born Holocaust
revisionist who has
publicly disputed the
so-called “Jewish
Holocaust” doctrine for
decades. With the
approval of the United
States government, he
was forcibly deported
from my country to a
prison cell in Germany,
where he is currently
standing trial for
“denying the Holocaust.”
Likewise with Germar
Rudolf. This German
citizen was forced to
flee his native country
because he has
questioned and refuted
certain aspects of the
Holocaust ideology. In
a word, the former Max
Planck Institute
chemistry doctoral
candidate showed that
those so-called
“Auschwitz Gas Chambers”
never existed. In the
United States, near
Chicago, Revisionist
scholar Rudolf was
recently torn from his
American wife and their
child and delivered to
Germany. He is in
prison in Stuttgart.
Just as those Syrian
intellectuals were
imprisoned because of
their beliefs and public
statements, so too are
Ernst Zundel and Germar
Rudolf being imprisoned
and persecuted for their
beliefs and public
statements about the
Holocaust ideology. If
President Bush is truly
concerned about the
universal rights to
freedom of opinion and
expression, we should
expect that he would
criticize the German
government for their
violations of the rights
of Zundel and Rudolf
just as ardently as he
criticized the Syrian
government for their
violation of the rights
of Dr. Labwani and
others. But this is not
the case.
President Bush chides
the Syrian authorities
because they have denied
Dr. Labwani and others
their fundamental rights
to freedom of opinion
and expression, yet he
is silent about the
German government’s
denial of Zundel and
Rudolf’s right to
freedom of opinion and
expression. President
Bush makes public
protests about the
Syrian intellectuals,
yet he allows and
apparently condones the
deportation and
imprisonment of Zundel
and Rudolf. This
suggests that he has
ulterior agenda. What
is it?
Not only is President
Bush surrounded by
pro-Zionist advisors, he
himself harbors strong
pro-Zionist and
pro-Israel sympathies.
Secretary of State
Condoleeza Rice revealed
the openly Zionist
agenda of his
administration. In an
exclusive interview with
Israel’s daily Yediot
Aharonot in May of
2003, she said that the
“security of Israel is
the key to security of
the world.”
The Bush administration
is simply using the
claim of “human rights
violations” as an
ideological battering
ram against Syria, an
enemy of Israel. This
is all part and parcel
of the Bush
administration’s
propaganda war against
the Syrian government.
Indeed, this pro-Zionist
government oversaw the
imprisonment and
silencing of Zundel and
Rudolf, two men whose
Holocaust revisionist
activities threaten the
ideological foundations
of Zionism and the state
of Israel. By seeing
that Zundel and Rudolf
are imprisoned, the Bush
administration
apparently believes they
are helping to protect
the ideology of the
Holocaust, a doctrine
that “justifies” and
“legitimates” the entire
Zionist movement and
Israeli state.
I come to you as
patriotic American that
loves the United
States. I ask that the
next time the Bush
administration chides
the Syrian government
for their human rights
violations, you should
bring up the human
rights violations of the
Bush administration in
regard to Ernst Zundel
and Germar Rudolf. In
this way, you can help
to expose the
destructive Zionist
agenda of the Bush
administration.
Hopefully, this will
help to bring peace and
understanding in the
Middle East.
A copy of this letter
has been sent to
President Bush.
I await your response.
Sincerely,
Paul Grubach
