Phil is quoting Galloway, not Einstein and there's no question that Galloway DID say it. I'm going to be checking for the source myself but just because you've been unable to confirm it yet (assuming you're really trying, Thom) doesn't mean that it's not authentic. (Proving a negative is not easy.) But there's no question that Einstein was VERY alarmed about the direction that Zionism was going in. A good example of this is the 1948 letter to the New York Times that he and Hannah Arendt signed: " target="_blank">http://www.archive.org/details/AlbertEinsteinLett... (Do you think this is fake, Thom?) New Palestine Party. Visit of Menachen Begin and Aims of Political Movement Discussed. A letter to The New York Times. Saturday December 4, 1948 by Albert Einstein, Hannah Arendt, Sidney Hook, et.al. New Palestine Party. Visit of Menachen Begin and Aims of Political Movement Discussed. A letter to The New York Times, published in the "Books" section (Page 12) of Saturday December 4, 1948 by Albert Einstein, Hannah Arendt, Sidney Hook, et.al. Source: Text from original microfilm TO THE EDITORS OF NEW YORK TIMES: Among the most disturbing political phenomena of our times is the emergence in the newly created state of Israel of the "Freedom Party" (Tnuat Haherut), a political party closely akin in its organization, methods, political philosophy and social appeal to the Nazi and Fascist parties. It was formed out of the membership and following of the former Irgun Zvai Leumi, a terrorist, right-wing, chauvinist organization in Palestine. . . . A shocking example was their behavior in the Arab village of Deir Yassin. . . . On April 9 (THE NEW YORK TIMES), terrorist bands attacked this peaceful village, which was not a military objective in the fighting, killed most of its inhabitants (240 men, women, and children) and kept a few of them alive to parade as captives through the streets of Jerusalem. . . . the terrorists, far from being ashamed of their act, were proud of this massacre, publicized it widely, and invited all the foreign correspondents present in the country to view the heaped corpses and the general havoc at Deir Yassin. . . .The Deir Yassin incident exemplifies the character and actions of the Freedom Party. Within the Jewish community they have preached an admixture of ultranationalism, religious mysticism, and racial superiority. Like other Fascist parties they have been used to break strikes, and have themselves pressed for the destruction of free trade unions. In their stead they have proposed corporate unions on the Italian Fascist model. During the last years of sporadic anti-British violence, the IZL and Stern groups inaugurated a reign of terror in the Palestine Jewish community. Teachers were beaten up for speaking against them, adults were shot for not letting their children join them. By gangster methods, beatings, window-smashing, and wide-spread robberies, the terrorists intimidated the population and exacted a heavy tribute. . . . This is the unmistakable stamp of a Fascist party for whom terrorism (against Jews, Arabs, and British alike), and misrepresentation are means, and a "Leader State" is the goal. . . .

well al-jazeera is carried by the local cable access channel here in burlington vermont interestingly enough a small but vocal group of you-know-who tried to have it removed but failed after a strong public outcry now in what i believe is an end-run comcast is going after this 17 year old local access channel using what i believe to be subterfuge in order to bring it down they are threatening their financing [which comes out of everyones cable bill] don't think it's going to work though [hope it don't]

Oh look, another fake Einstein quote. So far confined to mondoweiss (according to Google). I firmly expect to see it spread around the net like a virus until people say "see there are 1000 sources identifying this quote". You really have no shame about lying do you Phil?

There are a number of US senate vids. I just looked at some of them, and Too bad we don't have his like. Well, we do have Kucinich and Paul, but Galloway makes them seem asleep in terms of delivery of message. I'd love to see Galloway all over USA MSM TV news. He'd knock everybody's socks off. He makes 99% of our congressmen look like obtuse, callow fellows and ladies.

To my knowledge, Al-Jazeera is available on cable now in Washington Dc, and three other locals in the USA. This is all very recent. If memory serves the other three locals are all mid-western, e.g., Toledo, Ohio. I will call my cable company.

Wow! Thanks! Great video clip; sure would like to see him on USA MSM TV attacking it as he attacked Sky News back in 2006. Galloway is impressive. I see there's lots of clips of him on YouTube, some from USA news programs. I will have to check them out.

At the very least those historical events, all reeking in the atmosphere of the times, certainly went a long way towards answering why many western europeans were indifferent towards what was slowly happening to the Jews. There's been so many books written about that indifference and/or minor to major complicity yet none I've read cover in any depth, if at all, those historical events. And few typical history books connect those dots.
