That post should really be hidden. The fact that the article has been deleted from Wikipedia is not newsworthy in any way: it was deleted because its subject wasn't important enough, as the Wikipedia delete log states.

Sure Jim,
Wikipedia censorship is not important, so lets just censor any post that points it out....
You must be a zionist who wants to keep hiddent from the public the zionist nature of the self-proclaimed candidate for change!

That you want it deleted shows its important

kill the messenger

... especially if the messenger bares the news that the son of a committed irgun zionist terrorist is now one of the most powerful men in the world.

Can't have the pesky truth about what he and his father thinks about you, the goy, can we.

In fact it is anti-semitic of me just to point out how anti-goy they are.

Still the fact that in order to progress politically in this country, one has to sign up to the various 'friends of israel' parlimentary groups has not yet made it into the public consciousness should comfort those rushing to their keyboards to denegrate and censor me.

Benjamin M. Emanuel (né Auerbach) is a Chicago pediatrician and former member of Irgun[1][2]. He is the father of NIH bioethicist Ezekiel J. Emanuel, U.S. Congressman and White House Chief of Staff-designate Rahm Emanuel, talent agent Ari Emanuel, and adopted daughter Shoshana.[1] Benjamin Auerbach was born in Jerusalem in 1927,[1] the son of pharmacists who had fled Russian pogroms.[3] The family adopted the surname Emanuel in 1933, after Benjamin’s brother, Emanuel Auerbach, was killed in a skirmish with Arabs in Jerusalem.[1] In the 1940s, Benjamin Emanuel interrupted his medical school training in Switzerland to take part in an unsuccessful scheme to smuggle guns from Czechoslovakia to the Israeli underground.[3] He later served as a medic in the 1948 Israeli war of independence.[3] In 1953, his medical training brought him to Chicago's Mount Sinai hospital, where he met X-ray technician Marsha Smulevitz, the daughter of a Moldavian immigrant and union organizer.[3][4] The couple married and briefly lived in Israel before returning to Chicago.[3] They had three sons within four years, and according to Benjamin Emanuel, named their second son in honor of Rahamim, a Lehi combatant who was killed.[2] They later moved to Wilmette and adopted their daughter.[1] Benjamin sent his sons to summer camp in Israel, and Marsha insisted they take ballet lessons and accompany her to civil rights protests, where she was arrested three times.[3] Dr. Emanuel's pediatrics practice grew to one of the largest in Chicago.[3]

[edit] Quotes

"Obviously he [ Rahm Emanuel ] will influence the president to be pro-Israel. Why wouldn't he be? What is he, an Arab? He's not going to clean the floors of the White House." [4][5][6][7]

Oh, come on...

...whether the article is revelatory or not, the fact that it was deleted from Wikipedia doesn't imply that it was censored. Wikipedia have open delete logs, and any deletion is open to anyone to comment on.

Maybe Rahm Emanuel's father is a little suspect. Maybe that should influence one's opinion of Emanuel Jr and, by association, the new administration. But that's a separate question as to whether Wikipedia - which has open, transparent and democratic editorial guidelines - should carry that information.

If you are involved in the editing of the articles, I suggest you try adding the information to the article on Rahm Emmanuel, rather than creating a new article. There are strong arguments that it should not be included, but you'd have a better chance of getting the information out there.

Jim


good - the relevant info is in Rahm's WP entry

Benjamin Emanuel is not a notable person, only a Zionist would think he was, Rahm Emanuel is a notable person, and the fact of his father's Irgun terrorism is mentioned in the Rahm Emanuel article ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rahm_Emanuel) so the shrill claims that something has been supressed ring very hollow indeed.

This is not censorship, since Wikipedia does not control the whole world, they leave that to ZOGopedia. Seriously, why not learn what censorship actually is before throwing the word around:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship

Those Zionist agents at work:
