RESPONSE TO A COLUMN BY DANIEL FINKELSTEIN IN THE TIMES
"In my last two paragraphs I mentioned a poll in the US indicating that a quarter of all Americans blame the Jews for the financial crisis either moderately or a great deal. I concluded by saying that I don't like it when people mob up."
Daniel, you cannot take such a poll seriously.
A true random sample of American opinion on almost any subject is always disturbing.
After a few years of the bloody pointless invasion of Iraq, a poll showed sixty-odd percent of Americans believed that Saddam was involved with 9/11.
I don't recall the number, but a surprisingly large percent of Americans believe in the devil and believe that the Mark of the Beast is 666.
Polls showed a good slice of Americans believing that the Apollo Mission to the moon was faked.
I very much don't like it when people mob up either, but a quarter of Americans believing anything you care to name is not mobbing up, not surprising, and virtually predictable.
As for David Irving, I admire your publishing his e-mail, but I wish you had shown the restraint not to characterize it. People can interpret for themselves.
