 Interview with Warren Kinsella and George Jonas
George Jonas: If you're going to burn a cross on someone's property, you are engaging in an act that can be prosecuted under innumerable headings.
Jonas' point that, although the intentions behind speech codes are often benign, they always seem to be expanded by zealots to capture legitimate speech.
But, and I hate to agree with George again; there is a danger in not consolidating the legal or administrative mechanisms we rely upon to combat hate.

 Amazon.ca: Beethoven's Mask : Notes on My Life and Times: Books: George Jonas   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Jonas is not averse to the mask per se, and indeed comes equipped with his own elaborate panoply of expository guises: adventurer, lover, philosopher, political analyst, poet, prodigal son, wandering Jew, lay theologian, everyday Beethoven, librettist par excellence.
Jonas freely admits that his political allegiance is a neoconservative one, but observes that the currently pejorative term “neoconservative” is really a misapplied synonym for “classical liberal”;.
Jonas has assumed his proper identity as a cultural historian of credential with a powerful creative impulse, having earned the right to wear the composer’s mask whose voice is entirely his own.

Jonas makes the reader know who he is supporting, Avner and his four buddies assigned to track down eleven people who had a hand in the Munich murders.
Jonas in his introduction and footnotes, states that some things were just not reported in the newspapers.
Jonas provides readers with a wild ride through the fear, depression, grit and glory of a spy/assassin driven by the sole mission to avenge terrorism by killing the individual perpetrators.

 Re: "The French have a lot of Gaul" (George Jonas) March 5
It is often tempting to respond to the ramblings of Post columnists like George Jonas and Mark Steyn, but there is little point.
They are so convinced of the self-evident truth of the views they endorse that they just dismiss the possibility that someone might sincerely disagree (unless, I suppose, they were suffering from a head injury or the like).
Jonas claims, for example, that it is impossible to oppose war in

 Growing Up Crudup   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Jonas’ mom asked him to wait and talk to his father, who was still managing a labor crew in Franktown at the time.
Jonas was immediately comfortable at the club, which is just a few miles from his home in Boynton Beach, especially when he saw his father’s portrait on the stage backdrop, between the likenesses of Elmore James and Memphis Minnie.
Jonas and James did, however, collaborate on the vocals for the album’s title track, a funky, up-tempo, autobiographical sketch of "Big Boy and his little boys" that honors their father’s musical legacy and the rural Virginia town where he spent his final years.

 Munich Syndrome; Are George Jonas's "Vengeance" and Steven Spielberg's "Munich" really soft on ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Steven Spielberg's Munich and George Jonas's Vengeance, the book on which it is based, are purportedly accounts of the Israeli hit team that set out to conduct these executions.
While Jonas may have trusted his source, it is ultimately up to the reader to decide if Avner should be believed.
And he agrees with Jonas that deterrence was at least a part of the mission: "The Mossad's aim was to create a permanent threat in the minds of Palestinian operatives and potential inductees, a violent persuasion to cease, or shy away from, all activity on the behalf of terrorists," Klein notes.

 George Jonas: Out of the closet
When Canadian-Hungarian author and columnist George Jonas first saw Steven Spielberg's film adaptation of his 1984 novel Vengeance late last year, the point of view taken by the Hollywood mogul was as much of a surprise to him as it was to the critics.
For the most part, the author was kept in the dark on the developments of the almost secretive filming of Spielberg's most recent, now controversial, film.
Jonas spoke with journalist Andrew Princz over tea at the Four Seasons Hotel in Toronto about his reactions to Munich, his research of Vengeance, and the new 'rules of the game' in the fight against international terrorism.

The story of five ordinary young Israelis whose mission it was to hunt down and kill the terrorists responsible for the massacre of eleven athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics, Vengeance plunges the reader into an explosive world of terrorism and political murder.
It is also a stark examination of the timeless concerns that continue to plague our consciousness today: the nature of good and evil, and the difference between right and wrong.
