A I believe as a matter of fact, that the statements you allude to,do not pose a threat to Jews. I state this based on the laws of logic, and my observations. Statements made in the past that no one pays any attention to, and that are completely forgotten, and that have evoked no further interest, remark, or note, do not pose a threat to anyone. If they remain forgotten, and without connection to the present, they are as if they never were.
I have the authority to observe this and to draw the obvious conclusions, because I am capable of reason, of observing and drawing logical conclusions, and of applying common sense.
B I cannot respond to redactions.
C I know for a fact that giving attention to the statements you allude to will give them more power-- for it puts them into a position to be read again, to be considered again, and for some people to argue in their defense again, as members of religious group for whom these statements still remain true.
When a dead and buried statement is disinterred, it becomes more powerful because it is again alive.
D No one is defending these statements at the moment-. So there are no links to anyone defending the statements.
However, because the statements are reawakened, and put into question as the object attacks, people who believe that the statements are true, for religious reasons, may be quite offended-- which may in fact awaken a dislike for those who attack their beliefs.
They would not defend them because you, Lou, want them purged, but because it has become a matter debate whether the statements are destructive for the community-- and they may want to relitigate the unacceptability of the statements to a different conclusions from yours--- ie that such statements should be allowed.
E Because the statements are only plainly visible because you keep bringing them into sight, you are bringing what you believe to be anti-semitic statements into plain view-- Before you restated them and pointed us back to their pages. they had become invisible. You and you alone are giving them visibility.
It is preferable in my view to let them return to invisibility where they had become harmless, instead of insisting that people read them again and again, and think about them again and again.
Emsam.
