"I merly said that there are echoes of the Nazi treatment of the Jews. Surely the proposed forcible ejection of 30-60 thousand people is indication enough that this is the case?"
.,,.,..,
The Nazis did not 'eject' the Jews by the thousands; they methodically murdered them by the millions in efficiently run organisations specifically designed for the purpose; in the most humiliating & painful possible manner: thrust naked several hundred at the time into small compartments and then choked to death by the fumes of concentrated weedkiller. Have you ever seen what is, to my mind, probably the saddest picture ever published, even more than the piles of emaciated corpses being bulldozed into pits at Belsen - the mountainous pile of children's shoes outside the gas-chamber at Treblinka?

I leave it to others to judge; but I would call your cited enormity a pretty faint & feeble 'echo' myself.

Which is not to discount it as such, an enormity, mind. You are getting pathetic with your accusations of my 'defending' the state in its present form; inconsistently so - you actually quote me doing the precise opposite only 10 posts back - 0938 am.

I say again, Jim; your tone is antisemitic, whatever you might think. If it is not intentionally so, then I suggest that you pause & have a listen to yourself; and stop accusing me of cowardice by hiding behind accusations of antisemitism, which is a cowardly evasive get-out of precisely the sort you are accusing me of. You are doing yourself no credit at all even inviting such accusations; which IS what you are doing, with your Nazi & your Holocaust, and your accusations of racism for denunciations of the activities of undisputed sections of some specific demographics in particular situations, and your obsessive persecution of Keith which is nothing but a shoot-the-messenger rant, based on a long-ago ambiguous post on another thread, at best most marginally relevant to the gravamen of this thread.
