Is there another thread on here about her, I missed it.

My apologies. I wouldn't have participated and simply reported the thread if I had known that.

Yeah. I remember someone posted a video with her saying something really nutty and I replied with "She's totally off her rails".
It's probably even the same video as Walter posted. I didn't look.

Yes that was a pretty insensitive statement. She might have had a point about first generation Jewish Israelis who ethnically cleansed Palestine of most of its non-Jewish population back in 1947-48. They should have returned to Europe, come to Canada, the US or elsewhere rather than starting the longest conflict in recent history and creating the world's biggest and most persistent refugee problem.

For second/third/fourth/fifth generation Jews born in Israel (the majority), Israel is without question their home.

BTW, the chances of Jews facing a holocaust in the future is far greater in Israel than anywhere else including Germany or Poland, where anti-Semiticism is a serious crime unlike Islamaphobia. Israel may have the upper hand at the moment, but in order for Jews to survive in what is today Israel, they cannot loose a single major battle. In order for them to face a holocaust like event, they need loose only one major battle and over time, that's inevitable.

Sooner or later Jewish Israelis will eventually get exactly what they've been giving to Palestinians for the past 60 years and it won't be pretty. When that day comes, I'd welcome all Israeli Jews not guilty of war crimes or crimes against humanity (the overwhelming majority) to Canada.

But her comments were insensitive and I don't support what she said.

I got news for you.

Germany had anti-hate laws in the 1920s.

Go figure.

Oh, and Israel has somewhere between 200 and 400 nukes. So far, they have been extremely responsible with them, not even threatening their use when they were in desperate trouble in the 1973 Yom Kippur War.

But the possible up-coming battle with Iran might well be a different story, especially if Turkey chooses to get involved.

Israel WILL exist....no matter what. Don't kid yourself..

That was their method for having a bunch of Citizen robots by the time 1935 rolled around. Patriotic law abiding citizens (ask no question) who believed their Government was not lying to them.

You should familiarize yourself with Igniter and what he wrote about how the Wiemar republic should have dealt with Hitler. It was in his Massey Lectures.

Thanks for making that optional, for just a sec I though ..... well doesn't matter now. If it can be applied to today's events please carry on as long as it is a short lesson.
Hitler could have been stopped by people making sure the Ukrainian mass starvation had not been allowed to be done with immunity from the surrounding Nations, most of whom took part in the same sort of actions in WWII.

Have you ever listened to Ignatief's lecture before he became a stumbling dufus - The Massey Lectures along with his defined opinion on torture.

Now which countries could have stopped the Holodomor. Please name them, as I am lost as to which ones could have stopped this genocide.

Ya think?

Her brain is practically dust and even she is smart enough to see the wickedness and toxicity of Israel
