Forums : B'nai Brith compares Vancouver's treatment of female ski jumpers to Nazi policies of 1936

It's time for the folks at B'nai Brith Canada to close up shop and go home: Their phobic mission to convince us that Canadian society is suffused with Nazi-like hatred has launched into the realm of outright farce.

Every year, B'nai Brith puts out an “audit” of anti-Semitic incidents in Canada. And every year, the document is reported on by the mass media, which uncritically parrots the group's absurd contention that anti-Semitism is a growing epidemic in this tolerant country. Reporters politely overlook the fact that B'nai Brith's definition of “incident” is dumbed down: Any web posting, stray comment, or scrap of graffitti fits the bill. This allows B'nai Brith to reel off thousands of examples.

Most readers don't stop to scrutinize how trivial these examples are: They just look at the impressive-seeming bar graphs, which purport to show a Jewish community in a constant state of terror. The result: Older Jews with dark historical memories become terrified, and the donations to B'nai Brith come rolling in.

But this week, B'nai Brith well and truly jumped the shark — ironically enough, on the issue of female ski jumping. 

The underlying controversy is, by now, quite stale and well-known: The Winter Olympics, including the Vancouver 2010 installment, hold events for male ski jumpers, but not for female ski jumpers. It is an issue that has been litigated, and the Supreme Court of Canada recently settled the issue by declaring that it would not hear an appeal in regard to the 2010 Games.

Enter B'nai Brith, whose staff are apparently so bored that they feel the need to leap into the politics of an Aryan-dominated alpine sport that has about as much to do with Judaism as luge, ultimate fighting, glacier-climbing and pork salting.

According to a Monday press release from B'nai Brith (the full text of which appears below), “The League for Human Rights of B’nai Brith Canada, has called on the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the Vancouver Olympic Organizing Committee (VANOC) to reconsider the continued exclusion of Women’s Ski Jumping from the upcoming Olympic Games … In a letter to John Furlong, CEO of VANOC, the League recalled the 1936 Berlin Olympics when the OIC turned a blind eye to Hitler’s fascist regime, which was even then implementing discriminatory policies against Jews that impacted Games that year. The League asks the OIC and the Vancouver Olympic Organizing Committee (VANOC) to focus on its policies and practices relating to discrimination, 'and that includes eliminating discrimination against women now, just as it should have included resistance to discrimination against Jews then.' “

I actually had to call B'nai Brith to make sure this wasn't a hoax.

The 1936 Berlin Olympics persist in our history books as a landmark symbol of Nazi hatred. Following on Hitler's theories of racial supremacy, the German team permitted only members of the “Aryan race” to compete in all events. Gypsies (as they were then known) were rounded up and herded into camps. In his book Inside the Third Reich, Albert Speer described how Hitler was “highly annoyed by the series of triumphs by the marvelous colored American runner, Jesse Owens. People whose antecedents came from the jungle were primitive, Hitler [had] said.”

Now compare all this to the current controversy over the issue of female ski jumping — in which the IOC voted to exclude the sport for the time being, not out of any animus toward women, but because the sport is, in its current state of competition, insufficiently developed. This may change in coming years, as the sport attracts more female participants. But for the moment, the policy is entirely in keeping with previously articulated IOC standards, and betrays no hint of sexism — let alone Nazi-like hatred.

B'nai Brith should be ashamed of itself. An organization that once seemed merely oversensitive to the very minor problem of anti-Semitism in Canada is now hurtling, Fonzie-like, down an Olympic ski jump overlooking a pool full of Swastika-emblazoned sharks.

This not so secret society knows no end to it's meddling.

see, this is the type of shit that pisses me off.  this whole paragraph is an outright lie.  there was no “aryans only” policy invoked by hitler–it was a GERMAN-only policy.  hitler believed in german CULTURAL superiority, not racial superiority.

hey everyone!!! there were whole TURKISH (DARK-SKINNED) and muslim divisions of the SS!  there were EVEN BLACK AFRICAN NAZIS!!  WOOGA BOOGA!  tens of thousands of NON-WHITE nazis!  get it?  we've been lied to!

albert speer became the tool of the zionists after WWII, and sold out the rest of his fellow germans for FEAR OF HIS LIFE.  PERIOD.  he completely made up the bullshit about hitler being mad when jesse owens won the gold medal.  if you watch video of him testifying at nuremberg, he looks like he's going to fall apart from shaking, the man is so scared… just take a gander at this:

from the london telegraph:

At the time, it was reported that Hitler had stormed out of the stadium furious that Owens, who had just run his way to the first of four gold medals in the 100 metres, had beaten his Aryan sportsmen.

However, Siegfried Mischner, 83, said that Owens carried around a photograph in his wallet of Hitler shaking his hand before he left the stadium.
