Reply #172: OK, I can accept that argument

If you can come up with a better iconic symbol for the premise "I am comparing what is going on in the Occupied Territories to what went on in Eastern Europe after the Anschluss" other than combining the flag of the one with the flag of the other, I'm all ears. Like I said I think the Magen David / Swastika thing is way over the top and counterproductive so I think there should be a better way to do that; I personally prefer the use of Apartheid language and imagery because that's a bit closer to what's going on: a European colonial power setting up shop in a non-European nation.

Actually an even better comparison would be the Native Americans in the 19th Century; maybe if I ever make a flag I'll do something based on that.

The swastika is not a symbol of the early discriminatory practices of the Nazi Regime it is a symbol of the totality of the Nazi Regime, a regime that systematically exterminated six million Jews.

I see our disconnect, then. To the extent that I think that flag has any purpose it is as a warning to Israel that they are treading down the exact same road the Nazi's did, and using the same kind of groupthink, xenophobia, and racial hatred that metastasized in Nazi Germany into the Shoah.
