Dear Mr. Bush:
Your speech last month to the Israel’s Knesset on the 60th Anniversary of the State of Israel was not only a disgrace; it was nothing short of treachery. Worse still, your exploitation of the Holocaust in a country carved out of the wounds of that very crime, in order to strike a low blow at American citizens whose politics differs from your own is unforgivable. Let me remind you Mr. Bush of your words that you spoke in Israel: \“Some seem to believe that we should negotiate with these terrorists and radicals (Palestinians – Editor) as if some ingenious argument will persuade them that they have been wrong and history has long proved that false comfort of appeasement does not work….
Well Mr. Bush, the only thing your comments lacked was a mirror and some historical facts. You mentioned Hitler and his crimes against my Jewish family and millions of other families in Europe during World War II. Let me revive a favorite phrase of yours: BRING IT ON!
Your family fortune is built on the very bones of the very people that we butchered by the Nazis – my family and families if those in the Knesset who applauded your disgraceful speech.
Look into the mirror Mr. Bush and you will see your Grandfather who was a director of a Bank that was seized by the US Government for having ties to German industrialists who bankrolled Hitler. Just released documents show that Prescott Bush was one of seven directors of the Union Banking Corporation in New York in the investment bank controlled by the Nazi Thyssen family of Germany. The Bush family handled all money transactions being sent to Germany in order to support Hitler and his Nazis. The US government seized this Bush bank in October of 1942 under the “Trading with the Enemy Act.”
So, Mr. Bush, your grandfather and family were not only supporting the Nazis abroad. Surely M. Bush you know that your grandfather in 1933 wanted fascism to be imported into the USA. Your grandfather went so far as to subsidize an attempt at a coup to see America become fascist! The coup was aimed at President Roosevelt with the help of 500,000 war veterans. These plotters contained some of the richest and most influential families in America, owners of Heinz, Birds Eye, Maxwell House and Bush family.
Your grandfather and family were outright Nazis and your grandfather profited immensely and he should have stood trial at The Hague instead of buying his way into the ruling US Senate. Of course we cannot blame you altogether, but your speech at the Israel’s Knesset shows that you have no understanding of history at all – or that your speechwriter should \go back to school to learn history.
Your lies and the lies of Hitler are the same, having the same purpose. Hitler had concentration camps in Europe, but you Mr. Bush established these camps for US imperialism all over the world.
Yes, you are an anti-Semite Mr. Bush! Consider your own words as reported by the Austin American-Statesmen on then eve of you going to Israel. The newspaper journalist Ken Herman, asked about Bush’s statement that: “You know what I’m going to tell those Jews when I get to Israel, don’t you Herman?” When Herman said no, Bush replied: “ I’m gonna tell all of them that they’re going to hell!”
I am ashamed of you Mr. Bush. I am ashamed for those that applauded you for your political porn played out against the hallowed backdrop of the Holocaust. I am also ashamed for those reporters who between them could not muster the mortal courage to call out on your ugly rhetoric and ask you about your own Nazi family and their ties with Hitler.
You are Mr. Bush, the most abhorrent human being of my lifetime. I dare say in the lifetime of this American Nation.
