I. Opening Shots

On July 20, 2006, Jonathan Tilove (who is a reporter for Newhouse Newspapers that labels itself as "...not just another news service") wrote an article entitled "Dachau Survivor's Reputation Wanders Turbulent Terrain of the Internet" and dubbed as "Kafkaesque Dilemma" (Exhibit-Tilove, hereto) where an attempt is being made to discredit our critical studies on Solly Ganor, Eric Saul, and the late Hiram "Harry" Bingham and, at the same time, to discredit, if possible, this editor.

Nothing, but absolutely nothing, is being challenged by Mr. Tilove in his stated article with respect to any of the evidence or argument supplied by us in our various critical studies that we have posted. Instead, without any proof provided, Mr. Tilove bases his entire article on the premise that all our mentioned critical studies are meritless, lacking any substance of truth or reason, and thus that they are malevolent and poison the uncensored Internet. No proof of any sort is given as to why one should subscribe to Mr. Tilove's premise, so the reader needs to accept that premise solely because Mr. Tilove said so! The Google search engine is somehow being blamed for the high ranking page that our studies are currently enjoying.

Solly Ganor (who apparently supplied to Mr. Tilove all the private email correspondence with us) is also being interviewed for Mr. Tilove's article, but Mr. Ganor --as in the past-- would stay away from touching any of the critical evidence and argument presented by us that question (from so many angles) the veracity of Mr. Ganor's various claims and representations with respect to his purported Holocaust experience. As Mr. Tilove, Mr. Ganor stayed away from any substantive issues raised by us and instead shifted his comments to issues concerning the Internet, portraying himself as a victim of it. Mr. Ganor never mentioned that we have asked him repeatedly (almost begging him) to give his answer and reply --in any way that he had desired-- to our voluminous critical findings.

Using the old adage, if you cannot shoot the message, shoot then the messenger, Mr. Ganor attempted to do just that in a quite frantic way, but his "bullets" did not have any effect on us, as he would recognize later. Mr. Tilove, following into the footsteps of Mr. Ganor, provided in his article his doze of shootings at this messenger as this surely could divert the readers' attention from the real issues of deceit that Mr. Ganor (who with the help of his coach, Eric Saul) was able to perfect his deceit to a state of art.

Shooting at the messenger is harmless to us in here as this editor is immune to that kind of verbal assault that quite frankly is being expected from those that are incapable of facing or refuting the evidence and argument presented. In fact, when a respondent to a critical study of ours is compelled to attack the messenger instead of responding to the issue(s) involved, that, in itself, is an unmistakable mark for us that our critical study in question is on solid grounds. If attacking the messenger is the only thing that a respondent can provide or interested in, then we know that we did our homework well.

Our website is about presenting the story of the Holocaust and its current representation of its tragic legacy. Nothing else can ever be entertained in here as a subject of discussion. There is no way in heaven that we can post in here anything else outside the realm of this stated objective.

When our Holocaust work is publicly attacked from legitimate quarters, such as the one coming from Mr. Tilove, then, of course, we have no choice but to respond, as silence for us is not an option.
