Exclamation Argentinian President Cristina Kirchner warns of the Jewish threat

Quote:
Argentina’s Jewish community is up in arms over President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner’s comparison of Shakespeare’s Shylock to the investment funds that have bought up the national debt on the cheap.
She made the remarks last week on Twitter, recounting a meeting with 10-year-old schoolchildren. Even though Israeli officials are aware of her comments, Jerusalem has not released a response.
Kirchner said that to understand the country’s economic problems, the children should read Shakespeare’s “The Merchant of Venice,” who is depicted as a vengeful money lender.
Kirchner was speaking during a July 2 visit to Buenos Aires’ Villa Lugano neighborhood; she was campaigning for one of the city’s mayoral candidates.
After the visit, Kirchner’s Spanish-language tweets provided the main points of her comments to the school kids. She has more than 2 million followers on Twitter.
In one tweet, Kirchner wrote that she had asked the children which Shakespeare work they were reading, and they replied “Romeo and Juliet.” “I said, you have to read The Merchant of Venice to understand the vulture funds,” she tweeted, saying everyone laughed.
“No, don’t laugh. Usury and bloodsuckers have been immortalized in the greatest literature for centuries,” she tweeted.
In a New York court, the funds are demanding full repayment, even though Argentina has restructured its debts.
U.S. courts have ruled in favor of the funds and have forced Argentina into a technical default by not letting it pay off new, restructured bonds. Argentina is now trying to reach an agreement to solve the problem.
For centuries, anti-Semites have accused Jews of controlling global finance; in Argentina they are saying the Jews run the funds that are trying to extract payment from Argentina.
Kirchner’s remarks were well covered in the Argentine media and were harshly criticized by the Delegación*de Asociaciones Israelitas Argentinas — the Delegation of*Argentine Jewish Associations. The country’s Jewish community numbers around 250,000, most of whom live in Buenos Aires.
The DAIA mentioned the anti-Semitic connotations of “The Merchant of Venice,” but despite the protests, Kirchner did not retract her remarks. In fact, in another series of tweets she lampooned the criticism by the Jewish groups.
To defend herself against the accusations of anti-Semitism, Kirchner tweeted that a friend had sent her an ad for a premiere of a play performed in Spain in June 2013.

“The play? The Merchant of Venice,” she tweeted. “The company performing? Habima National Theater of Israel.” Kirchner then tweeted that the production’s sponsor was the Israeli Embassy in Madrid.
“You can see that Israel likes good literature and the best theater,” she wrote. Kirchner concluded by saying that some people deserve a donkey’s head, as in another of Shakespeare’s works, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” which she recommended as well.

Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner is again outraging many of her constitutents after comparing investment funds that have bought up Argentina's national debt to William Shakespeare's Shylock, an anti-Semitic portrayal of a moneylender, during a meeting with schoolchildren on July 2. The comments, which Kirchner recounted on her own Twitter account after the visit, drew criticism from the country's large Jewish community.

Kirchner said Argentina's economic woes could be understood through reading "The Merchant of Venice," which involves a cruel Jewish moneylender seeking revenge on his debtors, reports the Israeli newspaper Haaretz. She described in her Spanish-language tweets shortly after the meeting that she asked the 10-years-olds about which Shakespeare play they were reading and they responded "Romeo and Juliet."

She tweeted "I said, you have to read the 'Merchant of Venice' to understand the vulture funds," and that everyone laughed. "No, don't laugh," she then tweeted. "Usury and bloodsuckers have been immortalized in the greatest literature for centuries."

Kirchner did not retract her statement, instead defending herself by tweeting an ad for a production of "The Merchant of Venice" two years ago by an Israeli theater company in Spain.

In April, Kirchner claimed in a lengthy column published on her official website that she was the target of a conspiracy among American "vulture funds," Jewish community groups and the apparently murdered prosecutor Alberto Nisman to undermine her efforts to improve relations with Iran, according to the Guardian. Nisman, a Jew, was found dead in his home in January during his investigation of a possible government coverup of Iranian involvement in bombings of Argentine Jewish sites in the 1990s.

"We are facing a global modus operandi, which not only severely injures national sovereignty, but also generates international political operations of any type, shape and color," said Kirchner in the post. Anti-Semites have long accused Jews of controlling the global economy.

Argentina still owes more than $1.5 billion to American investment funds after defaulting in 2001, according to the Guardian. A New York court recently ruled that the nation's government would have to make a full repayment on its bonds.

Why would the Argentinian President put her life on the line and make such comments if they were not true? Also why would Shakespeare write a whole play dedicated to Jews like this if it wasn't true. Why is it we keep getting people reaching the same conclusions about Jews throughout history if it wasn't true. IT IS TRUE! We can see their control of the power structures in Western governments all around us today!
