Nixon Tapes: Kissinger fine with Jews getting gassed.

"Nixon and Mr. Kissinger were brutally dismissive in response to requests that the United States press the Soviet Union to permit Jews to emigrate and escape persecution there.

'The emigration of Jews from the Soviet Union is not an objective of American foreign policy,' Mr. Kissinger said. 'And if they put Jews into gas chambers in the Soviet Union, it is not an American concern. Maybe a humanitarian concern.'

'I know,' Nixon responded. 'We can’t blow up the world because of it.'”

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/11/us/politics/11nixon.html?_r=1&hp

Maybe a humanitarian concern?

Your're a real Mensch Henry!

It's kind of funny how Kissinger always pulls the "Anti-Semite" card whenever any brings up Cambodia or Argentina etc, so is it anti-Semitic of me to mention that he's an anti_Semite?

2. A classic example is when one of those talking heads brought up

Christopher Hitchens and his accusation that Kissinger was a war criminal. All Kissinger had to say was "That man is an anti-Semite," and all talk about the coup in Chile or the slaughter in East Timor or you name it came to an abrupt end. He does it all the time.

15. H. K. is not only Jewish, he served in the US Army of Occupation in Germany

Edited on Sat Dec-11-10 01:28 PM by old mark

at the end of WWII and knows all about the Nazi death camps first hand - he SAW THEM...He was born in Germany, as Heinz Kissinger - he and his family came to Britain, then the US to escape the Nazis in 1939.
He joined the Army and served in Army Intelligence during and after WWII in Germany, returning to the US to attend Harvard on the GI Bill.

13. It is about CLASS.

They don't care what race or gender or ethnicity you are, they don't care about you if you are not one of them and they actively despise you if they think you need help from them.

To correct Kanye West: "~~Bush~~They don't care about ~~black~~other people".

5. I truly didn't think anything could shock me any more, but this does.

Even coming from Kissinger. I didn't think even he could be that callous and depraved.

16. Um, hang on a second. I get that Kissinger is Pure Evil, War Criminal, blah blah, but

would people really be less derisive if the quote were exactly what you EXPECTED it to be?

If he said, "Hey, if Jews get gassed, we should nuke Russia," would that have been better?

And I thought that Saddam's treatment of his own people wasn't an American concern, but a
humanitarian one.

Can someone please help me with the inconsistency?
