...And we're back.
See what happens? You take a break from blogging for a couple of months, Clover Moore gets re-elected, Muslims riot in Sydney and Antony Loewenstein says "Six million" Jews should die.
It was all the usual standard anti-Israel rhetoric.
But, during the Q&A Jonathan Hoffman asked Loewenstein how many people Loewenstein thinks should die for this one-state solution, that Loewenstein wants so much, to come into existence. The idea being that Israelis are not going to vote themselves out of existence, so presumably such a state could come about only by force involving more bloodshed.
As Loewenstein wasn’t quite answering the question he was pressed further by Hoffman as to how many people Loewenstein thinks should die. First, Frank Barat, the Chairman, answered “200,000″ (here is more on Barat). Then Loewenstein answered “Six million. That’s my answer. Write that down.“
What sort of individual comes out with such an answer? Mocking the Holocaust seems to be becoming de rigeuer within anti-Israel activism. Here is someone calling herself Jane Green back in October last year.Follow the links for audio.
Maybe “six million” was randomly plucked out of thin air by Loewenstein. That seems doubtful. Hopefully, he will be pressed further on what made him say such a cruel thing when he returns home to Sydney, Australia.

Perhaps Loewenstein would be less flippant if he remembered where his grandparents came from and how many of his family were among the six million. That, though, would be too much to ask from someone whose identity and self-worth are based on denial and denigration of his heritage and wishful dreams his people's non-future.
