Seriously, what Israel is doing today is no different from what the Nazis did before and at the beginning of World War II, extreme nationalism, illegal expansion, annexation of foreign territory claiming it historically belongs to them, propaganda using the latest technology, terrorizing neighbors, military at the center of society.

    In origins section, there were widespread European establishment plans for “solving the Jewish problem” 50 years before Hitler. Hitler’s demonization of Jews was based on WW1 German Zionist treason of Germany with US/UK lobbying to join war, and Communist movement figureheads. What was anti-Jewish sentiment in Europe based on in the 1870s?

      I mean, Jews were prohibited from having most reputable high jobs and the only thing that matched the Torah and was allowed in Christian (maybe later Catholic) Europe was money lending.

      In Rome, my parents’ generation still calls stingy people “giudío” meaning Jew, since of course they were bound to be more attached to money and less prone to charity than most.

      From having that reputation and managing lots of debt, to having the finger pointed at, it’s an easy quick step.
