Anne Frank, was the young girl we all learned about in history class. She wrote a diary during world war II, documenting her and her families lives while they were in hiding--up until her family was betrayed and shipped off to concentration camps--where she died!
APPARENTLY she offends Hezbullah!
Kuwait Times:
BEIRUT: Anne Frank's diary has been censored out of a school textbook in Lebanon following a campaign by the militant group Hezbollah which claimed the classic work promotes Zionism.
The controversy erupted after Hezbollah learned that excerpts of "The Diary of Anne Frank" were included in a textbook used by a private English-language school in western Beirut.
Hezbollah's Al-Manar television channel ran a report slamming the book for focusing on the persecution of Jews. "What is even more dangerous is the dramatic, theatrical way in which the diary is emotionally recounted," the report, aired last week, said.
It questioned how long Lebanon would "remain an open arena for the Zionist invasion of education." A member of the school board, Jimmy Shoufani, said that the school dropped the textbook from its curriculum after the controversy erupted.
The nerve of Anne Frank! Focusing on Jewish persecution!! We expect more from a 15 year old JEWISH girl in persecution! SHAME SHAME! And using "theatrical" and "emotional" tactics in your writing---cmon Anne!!
For those of you not familiar with sarcasm--let me make it clear--Hezbullah needs to chillax! A DIARY (aka personal property) written by a JEW about the persecutations she was facing as a JEW is NOT an attack on your values or way of life!
Freaks! I guess there was nothing more interesting to pick on that week!
I could continue to bitch about this--but I think you all get it!
I read this article on Kuwait Times...Here's the Link.
