"Romanian coin called insensitive to Jews" by Associated Press | August 21, 2010
BUCHAREST, Romania — The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum says the refusal of Romania’s central bank to withdraw a coin bearing the image of a prime minister who stripped Jews of their citizenship before World War II is “insensitive’’ to the memory of Holocaust victims.
The Anti-Defamation League also condemned the decision and urged President Traian Basescu yesterday to ensure that information about the anti-Semitic actions of Miron Cristea is included with each coin.
You know what?
I have my own money problems and the last thing I want to read in my newspaper is some NaZionist Jews complaining about a coin.
Now where can I get one of those coins?
The museum in Washington, D.C., said Cristea’s 1938-1939 tenure “marked the opening of a systematic campaign of anti-Semitic persecution by successive governments that resulted in the devastation of the Romanian Jewish community during the Holocaust.’’ Only about 6,000 Jews live in Romania today.
I have been through there and I am so sorry I bought the lies. The tiny train car gave me a bit of doubt, but that quickly dissolved in my (at the time) Zionist-soaked brain.
Meanwhile, REAL HOLOCAUSTS occur today by the alleged former victims hands and NOT a PEEP from the PAPER!
“We are shocked and disappointed that the National Bank of Romania has decided to honor Miron Cristea, even after consideration of his anti-Semitic actions and statements,’’ Anti-Defamation League director Abraham H. Foxman said.
We no longer care what you have to say, Abe.
The US ambassador to Romania, Mark H. Gitenstein, added his voice to the criticism yesterday, saying he was “very disappointed by the decision . . . to issue the coin.’’
Of course he did; Israel gave his strings a jerk!

Will that coin pay for some health care?
"Hospital blaze kills four newborns" by Associated Press | August 18, 2010
BUCHAREST, Romania — The accident in Bucharest provoked a wave of public indignation, throwing light on Romania’s poorly funded and understaffed health system.
Thousands of doctors have left Romania in recent years for better-paid jobs abroad.
$o much for the oath.
Hospitals are understaffed and cannot hire, as the government battles a sharp economic downturn and tries to reduce the budget deficit.
Reports of hospital patients who have to buy bandages, medicines, and syringes abound in the Romanian media. Even some doctors concede they lack such basic materials as surgical thread and cannot perform surgery unless the patients buy it.
I didn't know they had your health care system, America.
Romanian media reported the fire may have been caused by a malfunctioning air conditioner.

And the waiting room just got more crowded:
"France sends nearly 100 Gypsies back to Romania" by Julien Proult, Associated Press | August 20, 2010
PARIS — France expelled nearly 100 Gypsies, or Roma, to their native Romania yesterday as part of a very public effort by conservative President Nicolas Sarkozy to dismantle Roma camps and sweep them out of the country, the Immigration Ministry said.
Isn't that racism?
France chartered a flight to Bucharest, which left from the southeastern city of Lyon with 79 Roma aboard, Immigration Ministry officials said. However, Romanian border police official Cristian Ene, at Bucharest’s Aurel Vlaicu airport, said only 61 people were aboard. The French Immigration Ministry was unable to explain the discrepancy.
Did they get an in-flight meal?
Fourteen other people were repatriated to Romania aboard a commercial flight from the Paris region earlier in the day, the French officials said, adding that another Romania-bound repatriation flight was expected today. Additional flights were scheduled for later this month and September, Romania’s Foreign Ministry said.
Those repatriated yesterday left on a voluntary basis and were given small sums of money — $386 for each adult and $128 for children — to help them get back on their feet in their home country, a standard French practice, officials said.
As if they were criminals!
Roma advocates countered the repatriations were hardly voluntary, claiming that those who refused the deal would end up in holding centers and eventually be sent home without funds.
Then give me the cash, sigh!!!!
Alexandre Le Cleve, a spokesman for Rom Europe, said the expulsions were pointless because nothing prevented those sent back from returning to France, as many have done in the past.
Yes, but it makes a POLITICAL POINT!

Maybe they should get together with the Poles.
