The Voice of Sanity
"Young Brits back Harry’s costume, although they learn about Holocaust," by Daniella Peled, JTA News, http://www.jta.org/page_view_story.asp?strwebhead=Young+Brits+back+Harry%92s+costume&intcategoryid=2&SearchOptimize=Jewish+News, 17 January 2005 (from Roth Report).
I have avoided this false scandal, as I'm much more concerned about the House of Windsor's hateful "no Catholics need apply" rules, and for that matter, anything else, is more imporant. But finally good news on the sanity of British young-ins:
LONDON, Jan. 17 (JTA) — The publication of pictures showing Prince Harry wearing a Nazi uniform at a costume party caused outrage around the world.
But it seems that most of his British peers can’t see what all the fuss is about.
In the days following the furor, a poll published by the Sunday Mirror newspaper showed that although 71 percent of those interviewed thought Harry was wrong to wear the costume, which featured a swastika armband, more than half of those between 18 and 24 said the choice of outfit was acceptable.
For years I've enjoyed Communist and salafist propoganda, and a great friend of mine wore once war an almost identical costume. Mocking enemies, and desecrating their sacred symbols, is a find old tradition.
Huzzah! Long live humor!
