:::Very short: 1) The antisemitic rants of Goma are a very serious issue. I am stunned how blind he has been in this context. Nobody rational denies that there were many Jews that did a lot of bad and dishonest things. But to jump from there to a conclusion, or even vague suggestion that they are somehow culpable as a community is not understandable to me. I come from the same geographic area as Goma, and I can vouch this is not a Bessarabian thing at all. But I wouldn't be so sure this is a recent thing with Goma, I believe he had some antisemitic feelings for quite some time. I only hope he will arrive at his eureka moment about this issue. It's a pity such a honorable Romanian dissident to not be able so far to discern such a question. 2) Elena Udrea does not leave me cold. ) 3) I don't know enough about Patapievici to draw definitive opinions about him. I am using the word "impressions" talking about him, not "opinions". Hopefully one day I would help improve his article, and you could address more details in the talk page at that time. 4) Sorry, I was to busy to continue that discussion. \
