Hoax or blood libel? A story of satire http://blogs.jta.org/ENTRY_PERMALINK_HERE/hoax-or-blood-libel-a-story-of-satire/ JTA’s Ben Harris gets to the bottom of an anti-Israel tirade falsely presented as coming from the secretary-general of the United Nations. en-us bharris@jta.org Copyright 2009 2009-05-28T;17:02:00-05:00 Comment by Rachel Golem rachelg@rachelgolem.com I have corresponded with Mr. Felton by email a few times. He is a very staunch, “Anti-Zionist”. My only concern is one day, he may shoot up a shopping mall or worse. I have corresponded with Mr. Felton by email a few times.

(By the way, it took us about a one-minute Google search to trace the “letter” back to Felton. The irony here is that a pro-Israel writer could have written the identical letter if the intention was to ridicule BKM as anti-Israel.) http://www.njjewishnews.com/njjn.com/052809/opedSettingAStandard.html

Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. thus far have been the only ones who dared satirize the M/E due to the ‘thought police”. My yiddische Mama taught me that “many a Truth is told in jest”...so thanks Ben for investigating this meshugana irony. delicious!
