Finland’s Vice Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee Pertti Salolainen asserted on Thursday that US Jews have vast control over the wealth and media in the US and that impedes the US government from remaining neutral toward the Palestinians. Salolainen’s remarks sparked sharp criticism from the Simon Wiesenthal Center and the Finnish media watchdog website Tundra Tabloids. While discussing the UNGA vote to upgrade the PLO to non-member observer state status on the state television program YLE Aamu TV, Salolainen said:
Now about the US, it finds it difficult to take a more neutral stance on the Israel-Palestine issue because they have a large Jewish population who have a significant control of the money and the media. The US for internal political reasons is afraid to become adequately involved. This is a sad truth about US politics.
Mark Weitzman of the Wiesenthal Center wrote to Ritva Koukku-Ronde, the Finnish Ambassador to the US:
[ed note;dirty filthy zionists, unable to offer rebuttal to the evidence proving the finnish politicians assertions wich of course are factual,they argue finland has joined the international task force on holocoust education lmaoo wtf does that have to do with anything?hahaha what does holocoust education have to do with fact that zionist jews control us financing,politics and media?lolThat such remarks can come from a pillar of the political elite in Finland is dismaying and astonishing; but that this remark was unchallenged makes it appear that such ideas are part of acceptable discourse in Finland. Finland joined the International Task Force for Holocaust Education, Research and Remembrance, and it must act immediately to show that it remains committed to these ideals, by officially condemning and repudiating Salolainen’s remarks. It must also take steps to remove him from all his official positions.
