The Gothár Scandal creates an Explosion of Antisemitism in Hungary

Peter Gothár is/was director of the Katona Theater in Budapest and a drama teacher. A year ago he was fired from his job because sexual harassment of an actress. A year later, now, the affair became public, and the Government decided to defund the theater. 

What is the point of punishing the theater? Their aim is to frighten the intellectual-artistic world. The sex-maniac instead of hiding in shame stepped forward and made full confession:  “A year ago, I approached a female co-worker of mine in the theatre in a morally inexcusable way. A few days later, I apologized and was forgiven.” The University of Theatre and Film Arts, where Gothár is a professor, stated that Gothár himself requested an ethical examination. 

Apparently he kissed an actress, no physical violence took place, but for some reason, months later, the actress denounced with the theater management. (The most dangerous thing for a man is to kiss a woman and let her go unfulfilled. She will ruminate the episode and take revenge.) The extraordinary thing is the Orban Government reaction of defunding the theater, and the media reaction of vicious anti-Semitic comments. Like many in the Budapest artistic milieu, Gothar is one of Budapest's hidden Jews, born a Christian whose only connection to the Jewish people is a vague knowledge that his parents (or one of them) had been persecuted by the Nazis. Jews are hated so much in Hungary that the Government digs up people's grandparents identities and if they discover "Jewish blood", it will not allow them to forget and hide their unwanted origin. Why is Mr Gothár and others like him still in Europe?

Flint Water Poisoning: The Jews Did It

I am following the Flint fake water poisoning from its very start, but did not expect that it would lead to blaming the Jews. Although I know that in the end everything bad is blamed on the Jews (nowadays, the Zionists).  

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP)'s Passaic, N.J. Branch on Wednesday published a Facebook post claiming that African-Americans "are dying so that Jews can live."

In the post, NAACP Passaic shared a Disclose.tv article titled "Israel gets $50 billion while America cannot afford clean water for Flint."

The article focuses on the town of Flint, Michigan, which has been "terribly affected by the presence of contaminants in their drinking water and yet the people who live there have not been deemed worthy of federal funding."

It claims that the Democrats have tried to push to give $400m to Flint for "the worst public health crisis the United States has endured in recent memory," but were rebuffed by Republicans. It then claimed Israel had "demanded" the US increase its budget to $50 billion.

"For some this refusal is only more upsetting because while the United States apparently cannot give money to its own citizens in their time of desperate need, they have sent $30 billion to the state of Israel over the last ten years," the Disclose.tv article wrote.

Commenters on NAACP Passaic's Facebook page pointed out that the Facebook post is anti-Semitic, and that anti-Semitism is not the way to solve Flint's water crisis.

Queefing ... in French

The phenomenon is well known to me but I did not know that it had a name (or many). Like the one who did not know that he was speaking in prose...

In French... La terminologie utilisée pour décrire ce phénomène varie grandement, allant du jargon médical à des termes bien moins châtiés, aussi bien en anglais qu’en français : vents vaginaux (vaginal winds), vaginal air (air vaginal), bruits vaginaux (vaginal noise), noisy vagina (vagin bruyant), pets vaginaux (vaginal fart, queefing, queef), flatulence vaginale (vaginal flatus), colpophony (colpophonie), chattering vulva (littéralement, vulve bavarde), frout (contraction de foufoune et de prout), voire « pet de fouf ». Flatus vaginalis et le garrulitas vulvae (littéralement, bavardage de l’utérus) sont deux termes latins également rencontrés dans la littérature médicale internationale. Autant de termes cités dans l’article de Gérard Amarenco et ses collègues urologues de l’hôpital Tenon (Paris) et celui publié par des médecins belges en 2017 dans l’European Journal of Obstetrics and Reproductive Biology.

PETER PAUL & MARY

Krasnaya Armiya honoured

Kever Benjamin City, like her big sis Tel Aviv, has many small hidden gardens and plazas. In front of Majdi's Oriental Restaurant we have a humble monument in white chalkstone to the Red Army (Krasnaya Armiya). The city has many WWII veterans.

From my Mother's side, I am from Vac and heard stories about the Rabbi. But this is unheard of. Below, the yeshive of Vac (Weitzen). There are no Jews left in that city.

Exotic Weapons

In his book, Shadows in the Sun, Davis (1998: 20) recounts what is now arguably one of the most popular ethnographic accounts of all time:

“There is a well known account of an old Inuit man who refused to move into a settlement. Over the objections of his family, he made plans to stay on the ice. To stop him, they took away all of his tools. So in the midst of a winter gale, he stepped out of their igloo, defecated, and honed the feces into a frozen blade, which he sharpened with a spray of saliva. With the knife he killed a dog. Using its rib cage as a sled and its hide to harness another dog, he disappeared into the darkness.”

Since publication, this story has been told and re-told in documentaries, books, and across internet websites and message boards (Davis, 2007, Davis, 2010; Gregg et al., 2000; Kokoris, 2012; Taete, 2015). Davis states that the original source of the tale was Olayuk Narqitarvik (Davis, 2003, Davis, 2009). It was allegedly Olayuk's grandfather in the 1950s who refused to go to the settlements and thus fashioned a knife from his own feces to facilitate his escape by skinning and disarticulating a dog.
