BOYCOTT EVERYTHING JEWISH

(Investigator 165, 2015 November)

Around 2010 or 2011 an article about the hazards of boycotting "everything that originates with the Jewish people" began circulating by e-mail and was reproduced on many websites.

It is reprinted below except for 400 words that go into other topics:

BOYCOTT EVERYTHING JEWISH

A short time ago, Iran's Supreme Leader Grand Ayatollah Ali Khomenei urged the Muslim World to boycott anything and everything that originates with the Jewish people. In response, Meyer M. Treinkman, a pharmacist, out of the kindness of his heart, offered to assist them in their boycott as follows:

•    Any Muslim who has Syphilis must not be cured by Salvarsan discovered by a Jew, Dr. Ehrlich.  He should not even try to find out whether he has Syphilis, because the Wassermann Test is the discovery of a Jew.

•    If a Muslim suspects that he has Gonorrhea, he must not seek diagnosis, because he will be using the method of a Jew named Neisser.

•    A Muslim who has heart disease must not use Digitalis, a discovery by a Jew, Ludwig Traube.

•    Should he suffer with a toothache, he must not use Novocaine, a discovery of the Jews, Widal and Weil.

•    If a Muslim has Diabetes, he must not use Insulin, the result of research by Minkowski, a Jew. 

•    If one has a headache, he must shun Pyramidon and Antypyrene, due to the Jews, Spiro and Ellege.

•    Muslims with convulsions must put up with them because it was a Jew, Oscar Leibreich, who proposed the use of Chloral Hydrate.

•    Arabs must do likewise with their psychic ailments because Freud, father of psychoanalysis, was a Jew.

•    Should a Muslim child get Diphtheria, he must refrain from the “Schick” reaction which was invented by the Jew, Bela Schick.

•    Muslims should be ready to die in great numbers and must not permit treatment of ear and brain damage, work of Jewish Nobel Prize winner, Robert Barany.

•    They should continue to die or remain crippled by Infantile Paralysis because the discoverer of the anti-polio vaccine is a Jew, Jonas Salk.

•    Muslims must refuse to use Streptomycin and continue to die of Tuberculosis because a Jew, Selman Waksman, invented the wonder drug against this killing disease.

•    Muslim doctors must discard all discoveries and improvements by dermatologist Judas Sehn Benedict, or the lung specialist, Frawnkel, and of many other world renowned Jewish scientists and medical experts.

In short, good and loyal Muslims properly and fittingly should remain afflicted with Syphilis, Gonorrhea, Heart Disease, Headaches, Typhus, Diabetes, Mental Disorders, Polio Convulsions and Tuberculosis and be proud to obey the Islamic boycott.

Oh, and by the way, don't call for a doctor on your cell phone because the cell phone was invented in Israel by a Jewish engineer.

Meanwhile I ask, what medical contributions to the world have the Muslims made? The Global Islamic population is approximately 1,200,000,000; that is ONE BILLION TWO HUNDRED MILLION or 20% of the world's population.

They have received the following Nobel Prizes:

The Global Jewish population is approximately 14,000,000; that is FOURTEEN MILLION or about 0.02% of the world's population. They have received the following Nobel Prizes:

COMMENTS

I've corrected some name-spellings (indicated with underlining) such as Neissner to Neisser, Minkowsky to Minkowski, Zalman Waxman to Selman Waksman, Wasserman to Wassermann, Bella Schick to Bela Schick, and Robert Baram to Robert Barany.

Furthermore, some statements seem wrong:

The book The Timetables of Science (1988) attributes the "local anesthetic, Novocain" (which is still used in dentistry) to Albert Einhorn in 1905, not to Widal and Weil. And the first use of cocaine as a local anesthetic is credited to Carl Koller in 1884. So there seems no connection of Widal with anesthetics anywhere. The name of Georges-Fernand Widal (1862-1929), however, is associated with the Widal Test, a diagnostic test for typhoid fever developed in 1896.

The alleged dermatologist Judah Sehn Benedict and the alleged lung specialist Frawnkel could not be found and may be fictitious.

Antipyrin is corrected to Antipyrene — it's a powder for reducing fever and relieving pain first synthesized in 1883. In regard to this Spiro was not Jewish and the name Ellege is either a misspelling or made up.

NOBEL LAUREATES

I checked only the first third of the boycott article. Therefore misspellings and errors may remain in the list of Nobel Prize recipients. Readers who are inclined can check Nobel Prize winners at these websites:

•    www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/lists/all/

•    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nobel_laureates

•    https://.en-wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Jewish_Nobel_laureates

The first website says that between 1901 and 2014 the Nobel Prizes were awarded 567 times to 860 individuals and 22 organizations.

The third website says: "Nobel prizes have been awarded to over 850 individuals, of whom at least 22% were Jews, although Jews comprise less than 0.2% of the world's population."

FATWA

A webpage by a Dr. Robert Shillman dated February 20, 2011 displays a photo of Muslim demonstrators brandishing placards with the words "BOYCOTT ISRAEL".

Was there, however, a Fatwa calling for a boycott of everything of Jewish origin?

A Fatwa is a legal pronouncement or learned interpretation by a Muslim jurist or "Mufti" on the application of Islamic law. The term is also used of death sentences when a Mufti declares someone who has criticized Islam as deserving of death. A partial list of Fatwas is provided at:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fatwas

Apparently there was a Fatwa against Jewish products by Ayatollah Khamenei dated 15th May, 2001:-

Regarding the purchase of Zionist goods:

The purchase of any item which helps strengthen Zionism is not permissible unless it reaches the point of necessity.

Ayatollah Khamenei (b.1939) was the president of Iran 1981-1989 and the supreme leader of Iran since 1989. He apparently has declared that Israel is a cancer and won't exist in 25 years from now.

TREINKMAN

What about Meyer M. Treinkman, the alleged author of the boycott list? Is there such a person?

Meyer M Treinkman (1894-1987) was born on November 1, 1894.
He was born into the Treinkman family.
He died on November 15, 1987 at 93 years old.
Meyer M Treinkman's last known residence is at Miami Beach, Miami-Dade County, Florida.

This "Meyer M Treinkman" was already deceased for more than 20 years when the boycott response began circulating.

However, it is possible that the boycott response or substantial part of it was written decades ago. Postings on the Internet include these two:

•    Salvarsan for syphilis? Hasn't been used in at least 60 years…

•    How did they forget Sabin when talking about polio? This whole list looks to have been put together 50 years ago...they could have mentioned many more recent Jews...e.g., David Baltimore, Nobel Prize winner, discoverer of reverse transcriptase — the key to understanding the HIV/AIDS virus...

AN UNWISE BOYCOTT

One wit posted the comment, apparently aimed at Iran, "They can start by boycotting nuclear weapons."

The boycott e-mail is spoilt by its spelling mistakes and errors of fact. However, the basic premise — that a boycott of products discovered or produced by Jews would result in pain and inconvenience to boycotters — is correct.
