        "content": "<p>The Chinese and the Jew<\/p>\n<p>I was shocked with disbelief to read The Jakarta Post's report<br>\non April 29 titled Ethnic Chinese urged to enter political arena<br>\nand that a noted lawyer and member of the national law commission<br>\nsuch as Frans H. Winarta could have suggested that Chinese<br>\nIndonesians should learn from the Jewish minority in the United<br>\nStates. Although they are only three percent, they are backed by<br>\npowerful lobbying and in the Israel-Palestinian conflict, the<br>\nStates can never go against Israel because of the Jewish lobby.<\/p>\n<p>This was really an \"indecent proposal\" that could<br>\nlead to \"fatal attraction\". All our Muslim brothers and sisters<br>\nin Indonesia should believe that the silent majority of Chinese<br>\nIndonesians do not support this view. Chinese activism and Jewish<br>\nZionism are fundamentally different with a dissimilar aim.<br>\nChinese activism is merely for the basic recognition of both<br>\nhuman rights and citizen rights. There are reportedly 62<br>\ndiscriminative rules and regulations against ethnic Chinese here.<br>\nThe Chinese do not claim a homeland and they never will, whereas<br>\nthe Jewish claim is territorial for a homeland, which the noted<br>\nInternational Herald Tribune columnist, Thomas Friedmann,<br>\nreferred to as an unreasonable \"biblical map\".<\/p>\n<p>The Chinese are also culturally inclusive and they adopt<br>\nvarious religions, whereas the Jewish are religiously exclusive,<br>\nclaiming the so-called Messianic particularism. The so-called<br>\n\"powerful big Chinese business\" is also just an illusion as big<br>\nbusinesses are farmed out and are very dependent on political<br>\nelite patrons rather than being earned. Remember also what<br>\nYoshihara Kunio claims as Ersatz capitalism here, whereas<br>\nbusinesses are more earned than farmed out in the States.<\/p>\n<p>Frans H. Winarta should learn to know that the Jewish model is<br>\nwrong to adopt and the States is also \"the wrong patron\",<br>\nconsidering that U.S. interests shift from time to time and that<br>\npast Cold War rhetorics also caused anticommunism to blur into<br>\nanticynicism.<\/p>\n<p>SIA KA-MOU<\/p>\n<p>Jakarta<\/p>",
