Wife of ECB chief enrages Jews

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands (AP)
-- Jewish groups voiced outrage on Friday over comments attributed to
Gretta Duisenberg, wife of Europe's top banker, comparing the Israeli
occupation of Palestinian territories with the Nazi occupation of the
Netherlands.
The Center for Information and Documentation for Israel sent a letter
to Wim Duisenberg, president of the European Central Bank, asking him
to clarify whether he supported his wife's pro-Palestinian
statements. If so, it said, he should resign.
Gretta Duisenberg made her latest comment while on a highly publicised
visit to the West Bank, where she met Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat
on Wednesday.
"The Holocaust excepted, the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian
territories is worse than the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands," she
was quoted as saying Friday in an interview with the Dutch daily
Algemeen Dagblad.
"The cruelty of the Israelis knows no bounds. For example, it's not
unusual that they blow up Palestinian houses. The Nazis never went so
far during the Dutch occupation," she was quoted as saying.
More than 100,000 Jews -- about 70 percent of the Dutch Jewish
community -- were deported to concentration camps and killed during
the German occupation of the Netherlands in World War II. Among them
was the teenage diarist Anne Frank.
Earlier this week, Wim Duisenberg broke months of silence over his
wife's activism after the Foreign Ministry protested that she had used
a diplomatic passport for her Mideast trip. He said he "supports his
wife 100 percent."
The leader of the Jewish organisation, Ronny Naftaniel, said Gretta
Duisenberg's remarks were "repulsive," and that her husband had left
the impression he endorses them.
"As a husband, he can be proud of her. He can say he loves his
wife. But if it comes to the content of what she's saying, he must
take a stand," Naftaniel told The Associated Press. "If indeed he's
backing her, then he shouldn't be president of the European Central
Bank."
He said he hoped Duisenberg would distance himself from the remarks in
order to "stop a political process which may happen now and could lead
to his removal."
A smaller Jewish activist group, the "Jewish Federation of the
Netherlands" said it had filed a second request for the Dutch public
prosecutor to investigate Gretta Duisenberg for hate crimes.
An earlier request, made after she said she hoped to gather "six
million" signatures on a pro-Palestinian petition, was rejected. The
Jewish Federation said the remark was intended as a mocking reference
to the number of Jews killed in the Holocaust, which she denied.
Herman Loonstein, head of the Jewish Federation, said he wanted Gretta
Duisenberg to be prevented from making any more public statements
about Jews.
"If she were purely coming out to plead for the Palestinian side, I
would understand. She's entitled to be one-sided, if that's what she
thinks is right," Loonstein said. "But it appears from her words and
actions that she's motivated by anti-Semitism."
Gretta Duisenberg has said she's not anti-Semitic and condemns all
forms of violence, including suicide attacks, though she told Dutch
television earlier this week that she had a "certain understanding" of
the motivation behind them.
