ADL And Its Program Run Out of Town for Genocide-Denial: Photo from the Watertown TAB & PressDefamation League and the No Place For Hate program. Watertown rescinded the certification of No Place For Hate tonight with a vote of 8-0. Here are some jewcy details:
Andrew Tarsy, New England Director and Minister of Disinformation for the Anti-Defamation League, got up and repeatedly lied about the ADL’s lobbying effort to defeat the congressional resolution. He then tried to interrupt an Arab American woman who was describing all the civil rights violations the ADL commits against Arab Americans. He was finally booed out of the Council Chambers.
Rumor has it, one Armenian fellow who is shorter than me (I'm 5 ft tall in my shoes) actually chased him down the hall. I didn't see it, but an unnamed member of the executive branch of our municipal government told me the story at an after hours meeting of the tri-lateral commission in a secret undisclosed location.
All told over 100 people were there. Mostly Armenians but a lot of others stood shoulder to shoulder with them. I suggested we take the sign down and ship it back to the ADL postage due. Other's took a less caustic approach and simply read from Foxman's anthology of asinine quotes. Suffice it to say that when the vote was finally taken the room exploded in applause. One Councilor asked the Town Manager to have the sign taken down first thing in the morning. But, within one hour of the vote, the sign was down thanks to an exceptional department of public works.
One gentlemen who has been flying a Confederate flag in protest of the sign tried to buy the sign from the DPW. Someone took a cell phone picture of him with the sign. We are now scrambling to find that picture for the Watertown TAB. Tomorrow he has promised to take down his Confederate Flag and stop whistling Dixie! I believe the TAB will be there to with a camera.
A few blocks away some kids were setting of fireworks. I'm sure it was completely unrelated to the sign coming down, but I could not help but recalling November 1989 when the citizens of East and West Berlin gathered around the “Wall” and started to sledge hammers to it, as fireworks were going off above.
All in all, common sense prevailed in Watertown. We hope that other communities will pick up on this and do likewise. I know some of us are planning to bring it to the attention of the Massachusetts Municipal Association.
I will be forwarding a DVD recording of the meeting to Joey Kurtzman so he can upload clips.
