“Be it right, wrong, or indifferent, derisive remarks about Jews and Israel in general will generate a visceral response. There are some subjects, some viewpoints, analogies/comparisons, some sentiments that will never go over well. Israel, Judaism, Hitler, Jews and Palestine — those are the main ingredients in a recipe for major disaster in public commentary. History and media are rife with examples.”
With that as a precursor, film director Oliver Stone stepped in it recently…disregarding all of Mo’Kelly’s sound, sage advice.
Stone commented publicly in an interview that his upcoming Showtime documentary series “Secret History of America,” attempts to put Adolf Hitler and dictator Joseph Stalin “in context.”
(Mo’Kelly – uh yeah…you had to know this was a trainwreck waiting to happen, both the project and the public statements. What did Mo’Kelly say)

OK, hit it Ollie!
“Hitler was a Frankenstein but there was also a Dr Frankenstein. German industrialists, the Americans and the British. He had a lot of support. Hitler did far more damage to the Russians than the Jewish people, 25 or 30 [million killed].”
Oliver Stone
“There’s a major (Jewish) lobby in the United States. They are hard workers. They stay on top of every comment, the most powerful lobby in Washington. Israel has f***** up United States foreign policy for years.”
The ironic part of all of this is that in Stone’s comments, he acknowledges that “they stay on top of every comment”…so Stone’s commentary is both proven and results in throwing its orator under the very bus it describes. If you “know” that “they stay on top of every comment”…what do you think “they” will do with your comments Ollie? (Having nothing to do with you ending up in The Mo’Kelly Report)
We’ve seen this story before. Hollywood individual makes silly remarks about Jews, blames Jews for either being “too sensitive” or “misinformed” about the Holocaust and then profusely apologizes afterwards.
Ergo this in the L.A. Times…
“Jews obviously do not control media or any other industry,” adding that the Holocaust was indeed an “atrocity.”
