Here are two ’news’ stories that appeared in the 2021 Christmas editions of the British newspaper called ‘The Guardian’.
The first one is a new translation of the novel that became the Disney film ‘Bambi’. The ‘news’ maintains that way back, as early as in 1923 a Jew named Felix Salten correctly predicted and “warned” against what is now enshrined in the public collective consciousness as the mass-murder of six million Jews in a policy of attempted annihilation.

Bambi ...a dark parable of antisemitic terror?
A new translation of Felix Salten’s 1923 novel reasserts its original message that warns of Jewish persecution
A new translation seeks to reassert the rightful place of Felix Salten’s 1923 masterpiece in adult literature and shine a light on how Salten was trying to warn the world that Jews would be terrorised, dehumanised and murdered in the years to come. Far from being a children’s story, Bambi was actually a parable about the inhumane treatment and dangerous precariousness of Jews and other minorities in what was then an increasingly fascist world, the new translation will show.
...Jack Zipes, professor emeritus of German and comparative literature at the University of Minnesota and translator of the forthcoming said:
“what happens to Bambi at the end of the novel has been concealed, to a certain extent, by the Disney corporation taking over the book and making it into a pathetic, almost stupid film about a prince and a bourgeois family.”
Salten, who had changed his name from Siegmund Salzmann during his teens to “unmark” himself as a Jew in Austrian society, earned his main income as a journalist in Vienna.
Zipes thinks he could see the direction in which the political winds were blowing:
“I think he foresaw the Holocaust. ...This novel is an appeal to say: ‘no, this shouldn’t happen’.”

The second ’news’ story is publicising another book.
This one gets promoted as ’book of the week’.
And in this ‘news’ story, ‘anti-German’ descriptions of atrocity gets publicised but with zero verifiable reference. Which I suggest shows the Jewish racism which constantly spreads unconfirmed anti-German hate-tropes.
This racist hypocrisy I regard as quite monumental !!!
Plus although this ‘news’ story glorifies an Arab as a new Schindler (for protecting just one Jewish person??!? Really? Sheltering one Jewish person is equivalent to Oscar Schindler’s actions?? 😮), the ’news’ story emphasises that Dr. Helmy was the ONLY Arab who saved a Jewish person!?!
