    Fucking monsters. Nobody encourages anti-Semitism more than Israel itself. They are every bit as bad as the Nazis were. Who would have thought that the lesson they would learn from the Holocaust would be to pay it forward?

      Nobody encourages anti-Semitism more than Israel itself.

      I get what you mean, but the topic of anti-Jewish racism should never have even been relevant in the conversation surrounding Zionist colonialism, subsequent atrocities, and oppression against the Levantine peoples starting in the late 1800s.

      It would be like giving credence to the concept of “anti-aryanism” in the context of the holocaust. Anyone with a modicum of integrity would laugh that shit out rather than take it seriously. Oppression is oppression; it matters not the identity of the perpetrators nor the victims, only their intent and actions.

      The only reason we let this shit fly with Israel is due to internalized Jewish-exceptionalism made possible through decades of systematic indoctrination and propagandization of the Holocaust (e.g. hyperfixation on the identities of the victims rather than the mechanics that allowed such a large-scale atrocity to take place).

      This quiz where you guess whether a quote was made by a Nazi or a Zionist will illustrate my point.

      Who would have thought that the lesson they would learn from the Holocaust would be to pay it forward?

      A reminder that the Zionist project started well before WW1, and that Zionist militias actively sought out help from Nazi Germany. Also, IOF Members themselves identified with notorious Nazi branches.

        Which, should be noted, was absolutely a Nazi talking point. Literally “the Jews want Aryans dead so we have to kill them first.”

          I was sort of hinting at that. There were a few examples of that in the quiz listed, but it seems that website is down.
