Open Letter to Deborah Lipstadt
By Paul Grubach
Dear Dr. Lipstadt:
I have just finished reading D.D. Guttenplan's The Holocaust
on Trial.
There is one passage in the book that really struck me. On page
209, Guttenplan wrote: "..it was hard not to feel queasy listening
to Rampton quiz Irving about his attitude to 'intermarriage between
the races'--on behalf of a defendant [Dr. Lipstadt] who has written,
'We know what we fight against: anti-Semitism, and assimilation
[of Jews with non-Jews], intermarriage [between Jews and non-Jews]
and Israel-bashing."
Deborah Lipstadt
In your book, Denying the Holocaust (pp.106,107,142,144,146,
passim), you condemned white revisionists who oppose white racial
integration and intermarriage with nonwhites. Yet, you--Deb Lipstadt--oppose
Jewish assimilation and intermarriage with non-Jews. Guttenplan
has pointed out that you wished you could have gone down to the
Southern United States in the 1960s to march and facilitate the
integration of Blacks and whites in the South (p.61-62). In 1964
or 1965, you participated in a civil rights march in Harlem. Yet,
you are an ardent supporter of the Jewish State of Israel where
racial segregation between Jews and Arabs is a fact of life, and
the civil rights of Israeli Arabs are violated as a matter of course.
You push for racial equality and racial integration here in America--but
you ardently support Israel where racial inequality is an established
part of the social order. Please read the book, Israel: An
Apartheid State, by Israeli academic Uri Davis.
As the expert on extremism, Laird Wilcox, has pointed out, one
of the characteristics of an extremist is that he/she promotes hypocritical
double standards and feels no guilt for so doing. I am afraid, Dr.
Lipstadt, that this applies to you. You appear to have no qualms
about promoting a racial double standard in regard to Jews and non-Jews.
Really Dr. Lipstadt, you should sit down and engage in some self-examination.
Paul Grubach
