Hoax Alert: Humourless about the Holocaust (2021)
Jews are often completed on their supposed amazing wit and sense of humour – indeed there are whole compendiums of ‘jewish humour’ – but when it comes to non-jews making fun of them. They have remarkably thin skins.
A good example of this occurred in Canada in 2021 when as ‘CTV News’ tell us:
‘A 38-year-old sergeant in the Canadian Army was fined $3,000 and issued a severe reprimand after he made what a military judge described as "utterly disgusting" anti-Jewish comments while conducting an infantry training course in 2021.
Sgt. K.E. Bluemke pleaded guilty last October to one charge of conduct to the prejudice of good order and discipline for jokes and comments he made about Jewish people and the Holocaust while he was an instructor for an infantry command course at Canadian Forces Base Petawawa in Ontario.
The comments came to light at the end of the course when a dozen participants reported that Bluemke made frequent inappropriate jokes and comments about Jewish people and the Holocaust, prompting an investigation and ultimately a court martial proceeding.
Military judge Cmdr. Martin Pelletier heard that Bluemke began the course by asking, "Is anyone here Jewish?" according to the judge's sentencing decision(opens in a new tab), published Friday.
Later on in the course, during the cleanup of a firing range, Bluemke urged his course participants to "move with the sense of urgency as a certain group did leaving Germany in 1939," Pelletier wrote.
"Why do Jews have big noses? Because the air is free," Bluemke joked.
"Germans are really good at packing things in tight," the sergeant said when trying to find additional space inside course vehicles.
One course participant testified the latter comment embarrassed and angered him, telling the court the comment "made him think of the ordeal Jewish people have gone through while packed in train cars and in gas chambers, and because the casual way in which it was said," the judge wrote.
In making the comments, Bluemke, who was born in Germany in 1984 and immigrated to Canada in 1995, eroded trainees' confidence in his leadership and in the Canadian Armed Forces at large, participants testified.
One participant, who is Jewish, said in a victim impact statement the comments were extremely disturbing and left him so angered that he could not retain the information he was being taught.’ (1)
Essentially Sergeant Bluemke was only guilty of the sort of banter that is common during a military training course and – of course – the sole jewish trainee promptly ruined it for everyone and began kvetching loudly to the Canadian military authorities because he was ‘offended’ by the ‘crime’ of lèse-majesté because Bluemke was cracking (pretty funny) jokes about jews in the best tradition of dark humour.
If said jew puts his jewishness before his loyalty to Canada then he should go serve in the IDF not in the Canadian military!
