Following news that Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel had died on Saturday, writer Max Blumenthal, the son of top Hillary Clinton adviser Sidney Blumenthal, called on people to avoid celebrating the life of Wiesel.
Blumenthal, who is Jewish, slammed Wiesel for his support of Israel and other issues like his thoughts on the Armenian genocide and the Iraq War.
Blumenthal tweeted Saturday afternoon that the Romanian-born Wiesel "went from a victim of war crimes to a supporter of those who commit them. "
"He did more harm than good and should not be honored," Blumenthal added.

Huh. I have read "Goliath" (which was shocking), but I never connected Blumenthal with his father etc.
ReplyDeleteWhen I googled him this AM, the HATE spewing forth towards him gave him instant cred in my book. He must be right about a lot.
He's right. Good on him for publicly stating the truth about Wiesel.
