the Secretary General of the OAS to condemn racist claims Radio Globo
Simon Wiesenthal Center asked the OAS Secretary General Jose Miguel Insulza, a proclamation condemning anti-Semitic Radio Globo director of Honduras, David Romero.
On Friday September 25, 2009, Romero reiterated his support for President Manuel Zelaya said that Honduras "are incapable of doing evil, if anything, can be complicit wickedness of others "then added that" sometimes I wonder if Hitler had no reason to have finished this race with the famous Holocaust. If people hurt in this country are Jews, the Israelites. I want this afternoon here on Radio Globo say, by name, who are both Jewish army officers who are working with the Armed Forces of our country and is being commissioned to do all these activities of conspiracy and covert action and all what is happening to the President. After I found out I wonder why we do not allow Hitler to fulfill its historic mission. Excuse me suddenly grotesque expression. But I wonder after I realize of this and much more. I think it should have been fair and valid that Hitler had finished his historical vision. "
In a letter to Secretary General Insulza, Dr. Shimon Samuels (Director for International Relations of the SWC) and Sergio Widder (Director for Latin America) stressed that "this demonstration unacceptable of racism and antisemitism happened after the statements by President Zelaya to Argentine news channel TN, from the Brazilian Embassy in Tegucigalpa, arguing that 'we are bombarded electronic equipment electronic high frequency ultrasound waves are causing us distress on health (...) with devices that are supposed to have provided the Israelites'. "
"The words of Mr. Romero is a direct consequence of the speech of President Zelaya. The OAS can not remain indifferent, particularly when significant efforts to restore the normal institutional Honduras, "said Samuels.
"We urge the Secretary General Insulza to condemn unequivocally on behalf of the OAS, any manifestation of anti-Semitism and particularly the words of the director of Radio Globo of Honduras, who has used a serious institutional crisis as a pretext to promote its agenda of incitement hatred and intolerance, he said Widder.
