Denmark's dilemma: Israel's new ambassador

 

National Socialist News Service

For many weeks the Danish media have been having a field day reporting on the new Israeli ambassador. You see, Denmark has a big problem on its hands: The ambassador, Carmi Gillon, is an ex-torturer. As head of the Israeli domestic intelligence service, Shin Bet, from 1994 to 1996, he was responsible for the routine torture of Palestinians.

The Danish dilemma is twofold:

€ The Vienna Convention, which Denmark has ratified, protects diplomats from prosecution for the commission of criminal acts.

€ The UN Convention of 1984—to which Denmark is also a signatory—outlaws torture and declares its commission to be an international crime.

The latter requires Denmark to place in custody, while awaiting prosecution, any person who has committed or who is responsible for the perpetration of torture.

Carmi Gillon was one of the architects behind Israel's policy of so-called "moderate physical pressure." Neither Gillon nor Israel have ever defined the meaning of "moderate physical pressure." But if the documented behavior of rear-echelon Jewish soldiers in Germany and other countries after World War II is any indication, the word "moderate" must certainly be replaced with "gruesome."

Hundreds of books have been written describing acts of torture committed by Jewish terrorists in their interrogation of prisoners of war and political opponents. These barbaric tortures involved both physical and psychological abuse and included such delightful devices as flogging, rape, the use of cigarettes to burn the flesh, kicking in the groin, kicking in the back, stepping on the body, the threat of hanging and actually bringing the prisoner to the scaffold before ending the hideous charade at the last moment, forcing prisoners to swim in ice-cold water, taking away the food of those who would not testify against their comrades, etc., etc., ad nauseam.

These were the methods employed by the Jews against non-Jews at the end of the Second World War. Is there any reason to believe that their behavior is any different as they now act out their hatred against those hapless Palestinians, who are unfortunate enough to fall into their hands?

Behavior of Danish politicians after Carmi Gillon was named ambassador

As news broke of Gillon coming to Denmark as ambassador, the spokesmen of all political parties said that they didn't want him in the country. They went so far as to discuss how they might refuse to deny him entry. Some evem wanted him imprisoned and charged with crimes against humanity.

Torben Lund, Social Democratic member of the European parliament, demanded that his political comrades act firmly and consistently upon Gillon's arrival in the country. "Arrest the man," he demanded.

After the initial uproar, as debate over Gillon calmed down, an increasing number of politicians no longer wanted to mention anything regarding the Israeli envoy. Suddenly, none of them wanted this war criminal imprisoned for those crimes he committed in violation of the UN Convention of 1984 against torture.

Officially, the Danish government begged off with the excuse that it could not interfere with another country's choice of diplomats.

Israeli reaction

Israeli organizations protested to Denmark's foreign secretary, Mogens Lykketoft, for the Danish criticism of Carmi Gillon. At the same time, they admitted Gillon's involvement in the torture of Palestinian prisoners and conceded that he was unfit to serve as ambassador. They even acknowledged the number of Palestinians—850—tortured while Gillon was head of Shin Bet.

One Israeli organization, B'Tselem, went so far as to ask Israel's foreign secretary, Shimon Peres, to refrain from appointing Gillon as ambassador.

Officially, however, the Israeli government did not respond to the accusations against Gillon. Some observers have suggested it did not want to call attention to the blood-stained role of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon himself as the Butcher of Beirut during the 1982 slaughter of hundreds of Palestinian civilians in the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps.

Reaction from Jews living in Denmark

Jews living in Denmark reacted to the ex-torturer as one might expect from those instructed by the Talmud to treat the goyim with contempt.

Arne Melchior, brother of the Israeli minister for the Diaspora, said he was opposed to Gillon's statement, but not to torture itself. To one newspaper, Melchior said that he would personally vouch for the new ambassador.

As for Melchior himself, he once was a member of the notorious Stern Gang, a Jewish terrorist group whose atrocities and cruelties in the late 1940s shocked even many other Israelis, who were concerned lest these backfire in world reaction against the new Zionist state.

The Chief Rabbi of Denmark, Bent Lexner, chose not to comment on the Gillon case.

What happened when Gillon came to Denmark?

There were some demonstrations at the airport as Gillon set foot on Danish soil. But that was all.

One must note, however, that neither Amnesty International nor any of the many human rights groups protested or demanded that Gillon surrender to UN court in the Hague.

To be sure, the news media had their say regarding Gillon, but none of them demanded that he be imprisoned or tried for gross human rights violations.

Pictures of the small-scale demonstration were seen all over the world, but Gillon was not arrested.

What will happen now?

If there should be any protests in the Danish parliament, the government will simply say: "Everyone had his democratic say; we chose to let Gillon stay on as ambassador because, according to the Vienna Convention, he is entitled to diplomatic immunity."

The public will not be told that the blue-ribbon Jews of Denmark have threatened to ask Jewish banks to demand payment on outstanding international loans, or that loans will be difficult for Denmark to procure in the future!
