piss on israel KG Aug 2012 #2

Not "piss on Israel"...the problem is the government and the judicial system Ken Burch Aug 2012 #31

Who elected their government? FiveGoodMen Aug 2012 #32

Some, but not all of the people. Ken Burch Aug 2012 #36

So not all of the people deserve the criticism, but many do. FiveGoodMen Aug 2012 #38

Are you comparing Israel to Nazi Germany? oberliner Aug 2012 #10

When you have state sanctioned bulldozing of houses filled with Flint Stone Aug 2012 #13

So you do think that is a fair comparison? oberliner Aug 2012 #14

I'm asking you, what state makes a fair comparison??? Flint Stone Aug 2012 #17

The US maybe? oberliner Aug 2012 #29

The Israeli government IS oppressing Palestinians...but it's NOT Nazi Germany. Ken Burch Aug 2012 #33

Well, Nazi Germany had a timeline from not being in power till Hitler shot himself snooper2 Aug 2012 #19

So that would put Israel only a few years away from mass extermination? oberliner Aug 2012 #30

How long had Germany been around before Hitler started the trouble? FiveGoodMen Aug 2012 #34

So which Israeli leader is Hitler in this analogy? oberliner Aug 2012 #39

I'm not actually making that argument FiveGoodMen Aug 2012 #40

None of what you described sounds anything like Nazi Germany oberliner Aug 2012 #51

Well if you don't want Israel to Missycim Aug 2012 #54

He specifically noted the bulldozing innocent civilians with women and children in the homes. The Stranger Aug 2012 #45

Do you understand who the Nazis were and what they did? oberliner Aug 2012 #46

Answer the question. The Stranger Aug 2012 #59

Got proof that they bulldozed occupied homes? Missycim Aug 2012 #55

Yes, sure do. The Stranger Aug 2012 #60

well then please provide such proof Missycim Aug 2012 #61

You forfeit the argument... regnaD kciN Aug 2012 #27

I would argue that it was invoked subtly in the post I was responding to oberliner Aug 2012 #28

Bullshit FiveGoodMen Aug 2012 #35

Actually, he wasn't making that comparison Ken Burch Aug 2012 #37

I don't think you were following the thread Flint Stone Aug 2012 #47

The U.S. IS a good comparison, and I think that's why so many U.S. progressives are concerned. Ken Burch Aug 2012 #48

It was obvious cold blooded murder cpwm17 Aug 2012 #5

Cold blooded murder? oberliner Aug 2012 #11
