Thread Name: BS: Another war in the Middle East?
Subject: RE: BS: Another war in the Middle East?
Ashkenazic Jews brought all of their hatred and fear with them to Israel where they hold the balance of power and continue the system of discrimination that was familiar to them in Europe. They had very good teachers. They discriminate against Arabs and
Sephardic and Mizrachi Jews and wallow in their self righteous proclamation of a homeland. Somebody should remind them that it may be a home for the Ashkenazic but it is also home for others.

I'm beginning to wonder if its Zionism I am opposed to or if its the attitude of the Ashkenazic Jews. Its as if their so-called entitlement excuses them from having any compassion for others. Perhaps its because they were treated so badly that they have no room left inside for empathy. A very self-centered and insular culture which creates second class citizens within a so-called promised land.

As far as I'm concerned, any birthright the Ashkenazic may have once had, they have lost by their own actions. Someone forgot to teach them that with privilege comes responsibility.


The nameless anti-Semite that spewed this hatred certainly knows sweet fuck all about the make-up of Israeli society.

If he/she knew anything, he/she would know that GENERALLY the most hardline Israelis are the Sephardics who were driven out out of Arab countries after 1948. They're hardline because they suffered at the hands of Arab oppressors and know Arabic society. As has been pointed out, there were more Jews driven out of Arab countries into Israel than there were Arabs who left Israel. The difference is that Israel made a home for the displaced Jews while the surrounding Arab countries have forced generations of "Palestinians" to live in filth, squalor and without human rights.

And as has been pointed out, there is a vibrant Arab minority in Israel while there is no Jewish population to speak of left in any surrounding Arab country.

And in what Middle Eastern country do Arabs and/or Moslems have the absolutely highest level of human rights? No it's not Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, Egypt, Sudan, Libya, or even Kuwait. It's Israel.
