| Sharon and Hitler share space at Anne Frank house |
| 2004-01-28 |
| A photo of PM Ariel Sharon alongside one of Adolf Hitler is currently being exhibited at the Anne Frank Museum in Amsterdam, reported Army Radio Wednesday. The photos are presented as part of an exhibition on ’borderline cases’ aimed at testing the borders between freedom of expression and discrimination, according to the museum’s spokesman. Viewers are shown a video, in which demonstrators held a poster of Hitler and Sharon in protest over Israel’s policies in the Palestinian territories. They are then asked to vote on whether in the name of fighting racism, freedom of speech may be infringed on. |

| #8 I thought only the Smithsonian did crap like this. You don't find many conservatives running museums. |

| #7 It's hard to type a coherent sentence when your blood pressure was as high as mine went. I thought only the Smithsonian did crap like this. |

| #5 GK, I was trying to voice/vent my frustration with why morons would use a historic site dedicated to the rememberance of the holocaust as a venue for anti-Israel propoganda. While it might be understandable to equate Sharon's treatment of Arab citizens with FDR's treatment of Japanese citizens, equating Sharon and Hitler is a pure abomination. Even a parallel drawn between Sharon and FDR with respect to human rights would be unfair to Sharon as FDR didn't have to deal with Japanese human bombs massacrering innocent civilians in NY and LA. While I admit to my exaggeration in predicting that another Kristallnacht is coming, how much worse can this get. The Anne Frank Museum should be hallowed ground, not a venue for pro-Arafat loving. I suggest that the kooks fund and found theirown Rachel Corrie Museum to hang this disgusting poster in. Those who missed the message of the holocaust ought to at least have the decency to ignore Anne Frank and not twist he legacy. She was an innocent little girl that was murdered by thugs; she wasn't a little girl inconvenienced by being fenced off from her school or relatives. Sharon is not my favorite guy, but I haven't seen anybody else produce a plan that will curtail the terror in the absence of jailing all the killers of Hamas, Hizzbola, Islamic Jihad and the PLA. I am an odd defender for jewish people as I am a complete gentile - as far as I know. Also although many of the Jews I have met have been big government liberals, I am supportive of their right to thwart my cold-hearted conservative aims. P.S. I think the settlers are nutters as well and should be locked out on the kook-side of Sharon's fence. Here is a link to an article that indicates their desire to thwart the disengagement. |

| #4 I think they are from the same geniological family tree. Evil flows through their blood. |

| #3 GK, SH is expecting another Kristallnacht. Only instead of black/brown shirts, they'll be wearing turbans. |

| #2 SH,I'm not clear on what you mean. The Kristallnacht,the beginning of the Holocaust, occurred on Nov. 9, 1938. Is something special happening soon regarding that event? They just had a 65th year rememberance of The Night of Broken Glass in November. |

| #1 Maybe this is a misguided effort to have the museum spared during the upcoming, Europe-wide, night of broken glass. |
