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

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
