From Der Spiegel: A Nazi organization which promotes a fascist ideology of national unity and strength, and reveres Adolf Hitler, is seeking official status in Taiwan — much to the fury of Jewish groups. The emergence of a Nazi group in Taiwan that reveres Adolf Hitler and advocates

How Ha’aretz and ‘Sikkuy: The Association for the Advancement of Civic Equality in Israel’ lie to mangle statistics. An excerpt from Steven Plaut via The Jewish Press: Mark Twain once said there are three sorts of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics. Of the last group, the worst are ‘advocacy statistics’. These are fabrications by advocacy groups that invent ‘statistics’ to advance political agendas. There are lots of these around, and they’re familiar to all of us. They range from the supposed ten percent of humans who are homosexual, to the make-pretend numbers of Iraqi civilians who supposedly died in
