QuoteRomanian state TV airs Christmas carol about burning Jews, celebrating Holocaust

A Romanian public broadcaster distanced itself from a Christmas carol celebrating the Holocaust that aired on the new channel.

TVR3 Verde, a television channel for rural communities, presented the carol on December 5 during its maiden transmission.

Sung by the Dor Transilvan ensemble, it featured the lyrics: "The kikes, damn kikes, Holy God would not leave the kike alive, neither in heaven nor on earth, only in the chimney as smoke, this is what the kike is good for, to make kike smoke through the chimney on the street."


In a statement Tuesday, TVR3 said it did not select the carol but only broadcast songs that were chosen and compiled by the Center for Preservation and Promotion of Traditional Culture, which belongs to the eastern county of Cluj.

TVR considers the selection "an uninspired choice and therefore notified the Cluj County Council of this," the broadcaster's statement read.

MCA Romania, a local watchdog on anti-Semitism, has written to Romanian President Traian Basecu and to Prime Minister Victor Viorel Ponta, to complain about the broadcast.

"We are shocked to see that the Romanian Public Television Channel 3 broadcast an anti-Semitic Christmas carol," Maximillian Marco Katz and Marius Draghici of MCA Romania wrote in the letter. "It is outrageous that none in the audience took a stance against the anti-Semitic Christian carol that incites to burn the Jews."

They added it was "absolutely unacceptable that TVR 3 tried to deny responsibility" by claiming it was the responsibility of Cluj County.

LOL, I love how they turn "public broadcaster" to "state television".  I guess "Cable 10 public access of Aurora, Illinois" and "Romania" just doesn't sing.

I'm willing to bet it was popular in Poland as well.

:lol:

well, if the tradition was to sing such pieces, what can you do?

It reminded me how it was fine in Hungary for the older generation to be all high-horsed about the downgraded morals of today`s youth, while be happy about the cultural heritage of folk songs of their youth, the lyrics of which almost exclusively feature pre-marital sex and infidelity and rampant alcohol intake

Neat, a lot of our ERP vendor's support people are from Cluj.  I shall ask them if they enjoy making kike smoke for the holidays. :)

Has the translation been independently verified?  I mean, Romanians don't actually use the work "kike", do they?

I think someone (probably one of our kikes) mentioned that the term was invented by Jews born in the States to describe FOB Jews.
