That old fraud Elie Wiesel is eulogized, but Hedy Epstein is largely ignored (Jul. 3, 2016)

1. • Elie Wiesel, who has died aged 87, was neither brave nor moral….

     Just a month and a half ago, another Holocaust survivor died. Unlike Elie Wiesel, she did not consort with crooks and murderers and she had the courage to speak out against evil no matter who the perpetrators were….

         Just saw that Al Jazeera is broadcasting the name as Wiesel. (Subtitles across bottom of screen.)

         Hmm Seems an unlikely German name, but if it is right, we owe Morrisey an apology.

         Or Al Jazeera need a rev-up?

           Yep – Google confirms that we owe Morrisey an apology – the guy’s surname really was German for ‘weasel’.

           Great surname is all I can now say.

           [The man was not German and his surname does not mean what you think it does. Don’t go down this track. TRP]

             Wiesel Name Meaning German and Jewish (Ashkenazic): from German Wiesel ‘weasel’, Middle High German wisele. As a German name this is a nickname; as a Jewish name it is generally an ornamental name.German: from Middle High German wisel ‘leader’. JXE.

             there is more to a name than many think.

             Especially Jewish and Ashkenazic names have different meanings. And many of the names go back to Old German and are a thousand years old.

             So while Wiesel means Weasel directly translated it has got nothing to do with the Last Name Wiesel.

               and even if it did, I doubt Morrissey would have the brains to know it.

       Checking up a coupla things seems to me like Eli Weisel has a background that limits respect from me. Once again Morrissey gets the serious morality right

       [Ok, that’s clearly over the line and dullwitted to boot. Feel free to come back in August. Do some some study on the difference between anti-zionism and anti-semitism while you’re away so you don’t make the same mistake again. TRP]
