WW II and the Holocaust were a long time ago. It ended a long time ago. What is happening to the Palestinians started a long time ago and is STILL HAPPENING.
Lets get away from the number 6 million and look at how long the Nazi atrocities lasted - 1938 - 1945 - 7 years of hell for the Jewish people in particular.
How many years have the Israelis been giving Palestinians hell? How about starting with 1948?
60 years of hell for the Palestinians and 7 years of hell for the European Jews.
Are you surprised that the Star of David (nothing to do with biblical Hebrews) means to many what the Nazi Swastika (nothing to do with German history) also means - they are both symbols of rampant nationalism, militarism and racism which required victims to be treated in the worst ways people can deal with each other.
The worst part about this is that the Palestinians are the descendants of the biblical Hebrews and Canaanites who stayed on the land rather than emigrate. There was no Roman Diaspora because the Romans didn't do that - it was a made up story. The people who stayed in Palestine simply changed religions as time went on to conform to whoever was in control of the land.
It is as if the Prodigal Son returned to imprison and torture his siblings. It is Germanized Jew versus Muslinized Jew.
So they should suffer for abandoning Judaism? Most Modern Jews are non observant and many have converted - do you want to ship them to Gaza to get what THEY deserve too?
The three major religions involved are all branches from the same tree - they are alo Mosaic and Abrahamic religions based on old Judaism and all would be unrecognizable to the historical Jews from 2000 years ago. The truth be told, we are all following Jewish religion and culture with our own variations which give us reason to kill each other and engage in the most monstrous and irreligious acts imaginable - Jew, Christian and Moslem.
The Mosaic religions are a pattern of failure with less than Godly or Holy results.
And I am not recommending Scientology either.
This crap has got to stop before someone decides do something really stupid and evil that will affect all of us even more than the economic crisis fueled by the Iraq war.
I have used his name regarding Obama's citizenship question as an example of how the "Law of Nations" which states that the citizenship of the father is transfered to their children and how that applies even today - or at least until Obama.
I am also why people here started using the phrase "ad hominem" - a phrase heretofore unknown at Salon.
I lead so that others may follow.
EWIGE BLUMENKRAFT!
That is because 99 percent of our politicians are OWNED by AIPAC.
Don't feel so smug and superior. What percentage of your politicians are OWNED by the War Industry?
Same thing pal.
We are both getting screwed.
WE, pal, WE.
Unless you really like blowing people up and stuff.
Arms
Industry
Political
Action
Committee
AIPAC
Israel is just the bait and lure for the big bucks for war.
They don't give a damn about Jews or anyone else. They want to to live in perpetual war, fear and anxiety. It makes them feel happy do to that. Look at Bush and Cheney grin.
Somewhere in hell, Hitler is laughing hysterically.
Police interrogations, prisons, psychiatric hospitals, drug rehabilitation programs, tough love camps for wayward youth, hazing, reality tv (yeah, torturing people is real fun entertainment), the Vietnam War, the School of the Americas where we taught torture techniques to Latin American dictatorships, shelling Lebanon, bombing Iraq and Afghanistan.
We like torture so much that you can go to a local malls sex shop and buy whips, chains, clamps, tongs, handcuffs, needles, blindfolds, rope, duct tape and electrical devices for use with your loved ones or casual acquaintances.
But wait, THERE'S MORE?
How about denying people healthcare when they need it because they are uninsured or the insurance company wants to save money rather than a person? We just let poor people suffer and die - their children and babies too.
Where have you been?
Don't like what i posted?
Take a happy pill and forget about it.
I clicked on your link.
Seriously, isn't there something that would be a better subject for a webpage on the world wide internet than your choice of a "troll of the year" in this EXTREMELY IMPORTANT chat site?
Don't you have any cute cat pictures to post?
How about a bunny with pancake on its head?
I believe that there are many things more worthwhile than shooter that you could celebrate.
Oh yes, I forgot tasers!
How about what they did to that kid who embarrassed Kerry in Florida!
WOOT WOOT WOOT!
Now that's some great American torutre going on there. Did you hear him howl and scream?
If people saw someone do the same thing to a dog they would get pissed and most americans approved.
Dennis Kucinich is the other one percent and has spoken out against the attack on Gaza. Everyone else dances to AIPAC's tune.
All of this strife and conflict is for the benefit of the war industry. I would rather just give them the money and not have them deliver the weapons and the munitions, but that wouldn't be exciting enough.
Happy new year to you and peace to you, yours, them and theirs.
It's the war we hate. We can't hate people. It just screws everything up for both sides and everyone else.
