  • yeah, its not a binary bad/good issue and it never has been. Most issues arent, they are about proportion. Islam is poor on womens and gay rights for example, but that doesnt mean any person murdering muslims is simply off the hook because Israel generally does better on those issues (assuming the woman or gay person is not muslim, in which case israel says to murder them)

    People these days who claim that Israeli crimes are fine because Muslim countries have problems are victims or perpetrators of Israeli propoganda, all with the net goal of land theft to build a greater israel. All of the middle east’s murders and war crimes are about acquiring oil and land theft. And while there may not be any 100% good guys, there are some really really REALLY bad guys, and western governments are siding with the greatest evils in the region.





  • “now that Jews aren’t powerless like they used to.”

    Well, they really weren’t powerless. Thats a myth. Ever wonder what craziness led to genocide in Germany?

    Well lets dig into that because its usually glossed over in schools and just chalked up to racism in a sentence or two. It centers around The 1933 Anti Nazi boycott, which was driven globally by the American Jewish committee (AJC), against the Jewish peoples of Germanys wishes. German jews feared reprisals during a time when things were basically looking up for them, but were extremely charged and difficult because of racist tensions in Germany.

    The (American) AJC launched the boycott as a response to harassment and intimidation leveled at German Jews after the Weimar republic formed in the wake of Germanys loss in WW1. In the Weimar republic Jewish people gained a lot of power via a new state mandated equality and ceased to be locked out of various positions and industries they had been in the past, rapidly becoming powerful members of german society. This caused social tension within the german population already stung by loss of a major world war and paying reparations during a difficult global depression. While the tension was nasty, it seldom led to violence beyond physical initimidation, rocks through windows, marches and slogans.

    The boycott caused Germany to suffer a loss of 25% of its global trade which infuriated and further radicalized Hitler, his industry partners, and his followers. Newspapers declared that the Jews of the world had declared war on Germany. The genocide which followed was about hatreds and long standing biggotries and privelage, yes-- but it was also about trade, as wars often are.
