Elie Wiesel was intolerant to other points of view
Eli Wiesel has passed on and I for one feel it is my moral duty to say that I am not and cannot be sorry about that.

To the best of my knowledge he was one of those who would never tolerate people comparing Second World War atrocities against non-Jews to those against Jews; would never tolerate, let’s say, any comparison between Nazi and Ustase atrocities committed against Serbs, to Nazi atrocities against Jews, while making comparisons between what he and his likes accused the Serbs of doing to others to “what Nazis did to the Jews”.
And of course, as everybody knows, he and his likes would never become confused by facts. So the bottom line is, he and people like him are no saints, to say the least.
