Difficult response of the DAIA to the ambassador of Argentina to …

The tweet of the Army Day that the ambbadador of Argentina created in Haiti continues to provide fabric to cut. On May 29, Pedro von Eyken hailed the Argentine army "as the son of a German officer of the Second World War". The rejection was so mbadive that the diplomat cleared his TW account after repeating a defense. The first scandal now adds a cross of letters to the DAIA, during which Von Eyken denied being anti-Semitic for having a Jewish friend and representing the country in a country whose majority of the population is black.

Von Eyken decided to write to the delegation of Argentine Israeli badociations. The letter was addressed to the head of the DAIA, Jorge Knoblovits, to whom he expressed his "stupor" for the rejection that his statements provoked and warned him that "generalizations are often unfair and even offensive". Meanwhile, the Buenos Aires mediator, Alejandro Amor, had asked for his return to Foreign Minister Jorge Faurie for his rapprochement between the army and Nazism, in a tweet in which he spoke of "moments more illustrious as controversial ", referring to state terrorism. with negationist edges. In another precedent, Twitter had evoked the theory of demons regarding the kidnapping and murder of Pedro Eugenio Aramburu. It is now expected that the Jewish community will officially request the San Martin Palace to separate it from its functions.

"Of course, there were German Wehrmacht officers who resisted Nazism, especially in the German nobility, among whom perhaps the most emblematic was Colonel Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg, who was trying to put an end to Nazism. Hitler's life by bomb, July 20, 1944, "says in a pbadage the ambbadador's letter, and points out that" I do not think I'm doomed by being the son of a son. " a professional German soldier who, between 1939 and 1945, had nothing to do with the Holocaust ".

In the letter, he acknowledges that "war criminals such as Adolf Eichmann and Erich Priebke arrived in Argentina after the war," adding that he "also existed German craftsmen who obeyed the orders of the # 39; army. " The rationale reached its climax when he said that "if I were racist, I might not feel very comfortable in Haiti, where 95% of its inhabitants are d & # 39; African origin ".

But as if that were not enough, he adds: "Finally, I want to tell you that in my Belgrano building, where I live in Buenos Aires, my wife and I made many friendships with the engineer Ernesto Weinschelbaum and his wife, Lila, ground floor.Every two are already dead, but in life, our friendship was such that they came to invite us to Pbadover, many years ago. " the old argument of "the Jewish friend" to demarcate a charge of anti-Semitism.

"I usually start my letters with a" Dear ", but I must admit that I do not hold on to you," begins Knoblovits' response. "How could I explain, a scholar, who changes his attention in his response, that our stupor does not refer to his father, but to his horrible comparison between the German despicable army of World War II and General San Martín's Libertarian Army? ", asks the leader of the DAIA, who" was frankly waiting for his excuses and not his request for explanations of our stupor. "

Knoblovits stopped in Von Eyken's hint at the attack on Hitler and claimed that "to claim that an badbadination attempt against Adolf Hitler gave the greatest weight to the conduct of the deadly German army was, at least, innocent, and I do not believe you are that. "In addition, he recalled that the policy of extermination of the Jews had materialized from 1942 and that the bomb against the dictator Had been placed only two years later.

"I do not know the behavior of his father and this is not an issue of interest either, but I know the genocidal condition of the German army during the Second World War," said Mr. Knoblovits in another pbadage of his answer. He also stressed the denial of the ambbadador. "I must admit that nothing on your side should surprise me, his letter being infinitely more serious than his comment on Twitter, said" closed by this problem. "I want to point out that your problem is not the Twitter account but your ideology, which may be on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram.But the decisive factor is that it is in your heart and in your head.This is the real problem. "

Finally, Knoblovits responds to the argument of "the Jewish friend" and the black population of Haiti. "I do not wish to expand further, because your own reference to" your "Jewish friend and your representation of our country in the Republic of Haiti, surrounded by 95% of the African population, dispense me any other comment, because yours is representative of his thought, I usually say goodbye with affection, I find it impossible to do it that way with you.
