Greta Berlin’s Ex Step-Daughter Confirms Antisemitism
Here’s an old letter (2007) written by Greta Berlin’as ex-step-daughter, which confirms Berlin’s lack of warm and fuzzies towards Jews. Not to mention her credentials as a “peace activist.” (hat tip: EoZ via Wiki Leek).
Having read about the incident at UCLA I must admit that I was appalled by Ms. Berlin’s behavior, but not at all surprised. I should know, she is after all my ex-stepmother …
After reading your article, I went on to research some of the links that your site provided and found it rather difficult to comprehend some of the titles that are now associated with Ms. Berlin’s name. The title of “peace activist” is the one I find particularly hypocritical.
On numerous occasions I heard Greta launch the insults “the god damned Israelis and those f****** Jews” at the dinner table in front of my father (a Jew) and the few Israeli friends and relatives who ventured to visit. Additionally, any rational debate attempted by anyone with an opposing view to Greta’s, was immediately terminated with the responses: “Shut up” or “You don’t know what the hell you’re talking about.” The rebuttal usually presented in screaming form.
These comments in juxtaposition to her role as “Peace Activist” I find hard to rectify. It prompts me to ask what should be an obvious question; “At what point did terms of hate and bigotry become synonymous with Peace?”
I was always under the strange impression that the road to peace laid in the arms of those who were tolerant, compassionate, and vehement in their will to understand and to promote understanding. God help us all if this is the role model that we hold up as an embodiment of those ideals!
Sincerely,
Ava E. Berlin

What the hell is a peace activist anyway? They all seem to be obnoxious, aggressive types.
An activist who wants to create a desert and call it peace.
Someone who wants a “piece” of what you have given to someone else.
She sounds seriously mentally ill. How the hell did she get a Jewish guy to marry her???
Having grown up and lived in the Westside of LA, there is an obvious answer to your question — desperation.
It was an unhappy place and time to be a single Jewish man, unless you were a wealthy and successful professional. A typical Jewish singles event would have 12 men for every woman in attendance. All of the latter would be activists in the group putting on the event or “herd females” who arrived in packs, turned up their noses, and left.
But the Jewish community would look men in the face and tell them that there was their fault — “Stop whining! You should have been a rich professional!”
A few years of that sort of treatment would cause anyone to marry the first woman he could.
Okay, Scott, I can understand that; but didn’t he know how she felt about Jews??? And after they were married and she came out with these ugly statements….why did he stay with her??? I imagine that these men’s Jewish identities were very weak. And as far as the Jewish women are concerned, I understand now the ‘title’ JAP. How sad.
