    It’s wasn’t the ethnic cleansing of Jews that was bad, it was the ethnic cleansing of Jews that was bad.

    The more Israelis who wake up to this, the better.

    I would like to invite, to the stage, all the Jews who were complaining that calling Israel’s actions a genocide is diminishing the importance of the Holocaust

      This was a pretty interesting read: https://archive.org/details/AlbertEinsteinLetterToTheNewYorkTimes.December41948

      There was a point where many peace activists saw zionism as a good thing, but then the zionists chose a fascist leader. To be fair in the 1940s it might not have been clear yet that religious nationalism is bad and tends to lead to fascism. What’s odd is that many still haven’t figured this out yet.

      This of course applies to Hamas as well, which is why there’s not going to be peace in the middle east until there’s a secular group in charge of things on at least one of the sides.

        Most religious people don’t understand that it’d also be bad if their religion was in charge.

    Ah, by all distinction and similarity with Nazism and the Nazi party, there are few groups in the world right now that are more aligned to it than Benny’s cohort and ideologies. But they are not as effective in their actions. Ben’s damned near line for line from the Nazi playbook.

    The only hold back is social. The world’s not able to socially understand how those persecuted by the Nazis have now become the Nazis. Honestly, the only difference here is we’re talking a small section of the middle-east and not all of Europe. The stinctions are otherwise quite minimal.
