Oliver Stone: 'Jewish-Dominated Media' Prevents Hitler from Being Portrayed 'in Context'

[^_^ 5,021]

Director Oliver Stone belittled the Holocaust during a shocking interview with the Sunday Times today, claiming that America's focus on the Jewish massacre was a product of the "Jewish domination of the media."

The director also defended Hitler and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and railed against the "powerful lobby" of Jews in America.

Stone said that his upcoming Showtime documentary series "Secret History of America," seeks to put Hitler and Communist dictator Joseph Stalin "in context."

"Hitler was a Frankenstein but there was also a Dr Frankenstein. German industrialists, the Americans and the British. He had a lot of support," Stone told Sunday Times' reporter Camilla Long.

Stone said that, "Hitler did far more damage to the Russians than the Jewish people, 25 or 30 [million killed]."

The Sunday Times interviewer then asked why there was such a focus on the Holocaust.

"The Jewish domination of the media," responded Stone. "There's a major 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."

Those two points have merit, but the reasons he gives for the focus on the Jewish holocaust do not make much sense. The Allies had a huge problem with Russia, they did not want it to fall into the hands of the Germans under Hitler's Homeland ideology but equally they did not want the ideology of the Communist Russians to grow and prosper.

Is Stone a commie?

In its entire context he really doesnt have a point. Just another loony from Hollywood.

The fact that you just sort of brushed him and his points aside lends to the point he's trying to make.

Looks like there desperate for subscribers.

No, the fact that Stone's trying to take some of the blame off of Hitler by blaming other countries makes him sound like a idiot.

You haven't seen the show yet. You haven't heard his pionts. You haven't refuted his points. And you're brushing him off. Some would accuse of being afraid of his speech.

mel gibson probably paid him to take the heat for a while.

What does that mean? That Hitler did not kill 20/30 million Russians because I can asure you that that's the normal figure that historians agree on.

I know the history. I know what Stone's said recently and in the past. The fact that you are even giving this serious consideration tells me you need to crack open a history book and stay away from showtime.

Or perhaps you mean that there were no prominant industrialists who demanded that Britain and the United States made trade treaties with Germany in return for an assurance that Germany would not attack these nations?

No, that means that his Dr. Frankenstein analogy is sad and sicking. Hitler was a madman before he came to power.

I don't think you understand the analogy - not based on that comment anyway. Perpahs if you expanded what you mean it might be clearer?

No I mean that we did not create that monster as Oliver suggests.
