ERIC HUNT, ELI WIESEL, ANDREW WINKLER, AND A CRYING NEED FOR PROZAC

.
.

Another "only in San Francisco" occurrence.


From MSNBC:
Quote:
"SAN FRANCISCO - San Francisco police confirm that well-known Jewish scholar and author of books about the Holocaust Elie Wiesel was accosted and dragged out of an elevator last week by an apparent Holocaust denier who wanted to grill Wiesel about his writings."

From the San Francisco Examiner:
Quote:
"In a posting Tuesday on the anti-Zionist Web site ZioPedia, a writer using the name Eric Hunt takes credit for the attack: “After ensuring no women would be traumatized by what I had to do (I had been trailing Wiesel for weeks), I stopped the elevator at the sixth floor. I pulled Wiesel out of the elevator. I said I wanted to interview him.

Further quote:
"Police haven’t officially identified a suspect, but a source close to the investigation said Eric Hunt is the focus of their probe. "

The anti-Zionist website mentioned (http://www.ziopedia.org/) appears to be a glibly produced hate venue that loads incredibly slowly. It bears further investigation.
But you have probably already seen much the same elsewhere, perhaps not as slickly thrown together. Pro-Palestinian polemics, articles hypercritical of Jews, allegations of Zionist conspiracies and Jewish cabals, attempts to discredit politicians, slander, libel, outright vicious untruth. Nothing particularly original.


Eric Hunt's action could be no more than an attempt to boost readership for his dreary site.


Note that a quick check on the internet yields only one listing for an Eric Hunt in San Francisco, on twentieth Avenue. But the name Eric Hunt could be a pseudonym, and there are at least four other people by that name in California. The surname Hunt is not at all uncommon, the given name Eric is almost generic. And that our city has its share of nuts, well that we knew already.


The organization claiming copyright on ZioPedia, which calls itself 'Rebel Media Group', appears to be based in Sydney, Australia. It also owns 'Jews Anonymous' (http://www.jews-anonymous.org/), which says that "the only requirement for membership with 'Jews Anonymous' is a desire to stop being a Jew. The primary purpose of J.A. is to help Jews to rid themselves of any sense of chosenness and superiority over their fellow human beings and embrace all of mankind, regardless of heritage, nationality, religion or race.”

The guiding light of this fascinating little internet cult is Andrew Winkler, also of Sydney. He is obsessed with Jews. And a prolific writer. A very useful idiot. Who might benefit from medication - I suggest anti-inflammatories and prozac.
