Hitler disliked the Jews for a number of reasons (most of which having to do with their perceived ties to Red Communism and Liberal Capitalism). "Social Conservatism" was not among them.

Hitler actually blamed the Jews for introducing Christianity to Europe, which he felt had made the German people weak.

Hitler actually thought Jews had ties to (atheistic) Communism, and that they had brought Christianity to Europe? Belief in crazy, impossible things does have an impact on human history, doesn't it?
 
Silly poll, criticism of Israeli foreign policy doesn't equate to hatred of Jews.

Why don't you try actually reading the poll? Or are you totally committed to just chanting your anti-Israel slogans no matter what the actual topic is? :roll:

The poll doesn't ask about Israel, does it? It asks what a person thinks may be the causes of historic oppression of Jews around the world.

Unlike Christian and Islam, Judaism is largely about GENETIC ancestry, ie God's Chosen People, the pure heritage of Jesus, who begat who and so forth. While a person technically can convert to Judaism, being Jewish is primarily defined by birth.

There no such thing as a person being an ethnic/racial Christian or Muslim. But there is for being Jewish. For many Jews, particularly in the USA, it is largely or singularly about being born Jewish with no religion connotation to it. Thus there can be a person who claims to be a Jewish atheist or Jewish Christian. But there is no such thing as a Christian or Muslim atheist.

By defining themselves in racial/genetic terms - and in being SUPERIOR in the eyes of God for their genetic ancestry - is may inherently invoke hatred by others. A society would not tend to like a foreign originated minority that force enclaves and declares themselves genetically and spiritually superior - which is the claim of the Jewish religion.

You're perennial position is to label critics of Israel as anti-Semites. Your default position, so yes, silly poll.

Nazi eugenics did get rather weird and even became intermingled with bizarre metaphysical views.

You probably think that all Israelites are Jews.

Again, you should read others messages rather than only listening to yourself. No one ever learned anything by talking, only by listening.

I've posted the stats on Israeli population - and pointed out it can not allow the return of or admission to massive numbers of Muslims or it would cease to be a Jewish nation.

And, once again, the poll isn't about Israel, it is about Jews.

Oh, the irony. So, are you aware that there are 12 (12-1/2) tribes of Israel? And are you just talking about American Jews, or all Jews?

A) Speaking factually here, the Jews did introduce Christianity to Europe. Christ himself and all of his Apostles were Jews. That's simply historical fact.

Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin were also, at least in part, Jewish, and many of the Communist movement's most influential early members were Jewish as well. This created the perception that it was a Jewish movement.

B) You can take it right from the horse's mouth.

“The heaviest blow that ever struck humanity was the coming of Christianity. Bolshevism is Christianity’s illegitimate child. Both are inventions of the Jew. The deliberate lie in the matter of religion was introduced into the world by Christianity. Bolshevism practises a lie of the same nature, when it claims to bring liberty to men, whereas in reality it seeks only to enslave them. In the ancient world, the relations between men and gods were founded on an instinctive respect. It was a world enlightened by the idea of tolerance. Christianity was the first creed in the world to exterminate its adversaries in the name of love. Its key-note is intolerance.” -Hitler’s Table Talk, pg 7

From that perspective, it's the Jews that introduced Christianity to the world, which is a bit ironic.

But it was the Romans who brought Christianity to Europe.

Which is also ironic, as they started out by persecuting Christians. History does have some interesting twists, doesn't it?
 
There's a Scientology recruiter who'd like to speak to you about that.

Good point, at least until Constantine's conversion.

That was the conversion that changed world history, wasn't it? Had he lost the battle, the entire course of human history would have changed. Mind boggling.
 
I think that people hate to think that anyone is better than they are.

Not sure what you mean with that in the context I was referring?

My fault. I connected it to the wrong entry.
 
Oh, I thought we were talking about the historical reasons. Christians, and especially Protestants, are very friendly towards Jewish groups today. The only people that I'd ever point out as on the iffy-side of things are the grouchy, 80+ year old male Catholic groups, but that's only because they don't like anyone. Outside of them is the far-right Christian groups that you wouldn't be able to call Christian, because they're so fringe and nutty.

That all changed with the post-WWII attitudes. The Catholic Church publicly denounced the "Christ Killers" attitudes in the 60s and fought against them, which lead to the revamping of much of its liturgy. Other denominations followed suit. The West also aligned itself with Israel for as a matter of our Middle East strategy. That's lead the Religious Right in the US to be very pro-Israel and pro-Judaism.

There's never going to be agreement between the groups, but there's no antipathy between them like there used to be.


No, American Christians are stupid for supporting Israel, because Israel is a wealthy first-world country that is kicking the crap out of Palestinians who are on par with Ethiopians.

Give the Palestinians a couple hundred billion dollars and a well-trained, well-funded army and then we'll call it even.

Your message at the end is as historically inaccurate as possible. Israel was founded by desperate Jews fleeing horrific oppression, murderous oppression, all over the world. Most arrived with nothing. Many died in the attempt.

The TINY area Jews had was - as the British pulled out - attacked by the armies of 6 Islamic countries, Palestinians, and volunteers from numerous other countries - attacking with heavy armor. It was Palestinians and the professional armies of half a dozen countries plus more attacking who they believed were helpless Jews. The Egyptian general declared the Jews were entirely defenseless would be immediately totally overrun and exterminated.

The Jews prevailed anyway.
Nor was this the last mass military attack by Palestinians along with the professional armies of Muslim countries.

Read history. Before any fighting and from the start, the Jews only wanted a tiny piece of land smaller than now - and said that everywhere else - 99.99+% of the region and essentially all natural resources could be "exclusively Arab."

Instead the Palestinians rioted, demanded Jews do not have 1 inch and that the Jews all be runoff or killed. Then went to war against the Jews. Then again. Then again.

Have you ever heard the expression: "YOU MADE YOUR OWN BED. NOW LIE IN IT." That is the situation of Palestinians.

THEY created the situation they are in - and they keep themselves in it.

And stepped right into Palestine to oppress the Palestinians. And have done so consistently, and thoroughly.

Gaza is a prison camp, says David Cameron
David Cameron has described Gaza as a ''prison camp'' and appealed to the Israeli Government to allow the free flow of humanitarian goods and people in and out of the Palestinian territory.

History is full of forgotten footnotes.

Constantine? All of history changed because he had a bizarre dream.

Einstein is who both warned FDR that German was pursuing something called the atomic bomb and told FDR such could be built. For this, operations were undertaken successfully against Germany's heavywater production (for which Germany's one attempt to detonate an atomic bomb failed) and the USA undertook the massive atomic bomb program.

Yet Einstein was a militant pacifist. What changed his mind? His sister was murdered in a concentration camp.

Or the windows opened in Hitler's bunker and the one-armed bomb carrier able to arm only one of the two suitcase bombs? Had he succeeded, the Germany army on the Atlantic wall was going to roll on Berlin to take out the SS and surrender to the USA, while turning all German forces singularly to stop Russia's advance. That failure lead to the rise of the USSR and oppression of all of Eastern Europe.

BUT for Hitler's genocide of Jews he would have had atomic bombs for the tips of his V2 missiles - which would have forced both the UK and Russia to surrender and made such as the Normandy landing impossible. That tiny detail that virtually no one knows or mentions, that footnote, is one a fact if it didn't exist Germany would have won the war and dominated the world as the only atomic weapons power and only nation with ballistic missiles to put them on - easily launched on the USA from submarines if need be.

As for the never ending conflict between Muslims and Christians? Muhammed FIRST approached the Christian and Jewish leadership declaring that Arabs too have the SAME God and therefore claimed they ALL were the same religion. The response of those leaders was to try to hunt down Muhammed to kill him and his followers. Had they accepted? Imagine the endless wars to this day that would never of happened.

The tornado that hit Washington DC in the war of 1812. The gale that took out the Spanish Armada. The heavy rain just before the battle between the Christians of Paris and the Muslim army so softening the ground the Muslim horses couldn't travel on it.

In the War of 1812 the British had won. Conquered DC. Setting the city on fire. And a tornado hits their army and then a drenching rainstorm putting out the fires? What the hell are the odds of both those happening at that exact moment and place? Yet such as that possibly defines world history more than all the grand plans of the most brilliant planners.

Little historic details and quirks of reality.

And there there is the original Sunni-Shia split. If only Muhammed had left a will saying who assumed his role?

Despite all the grand schemes, history is mostly written by inadvertent and seemingly small details, oversights and entirely unpredictable events.

Curiously, that is one abstract strong suggestion there is a God or some unknown Karma powers involved in world and human events.

Gaza is a prison camp, says David Cameron - Telegraph

Like I care what David Cameron says. His life isn't on the line, is it?

Why don't Palestinians leave that "prison camp?" We know one Palestinian who did - 3 decades ago. Came to America. Ended up bringing all his family and their family here too over the years. And believes Americans are nuts for not appreciating all we have including free enterprise. It's not a prison camp if you decide to stay and instead throw rocks.

Why doesn't David Cameron pursue allowing Palestinians immigrating to the UK if he REALLY gives a damn? Why don't the Muslim countries in that region do so if they REALLY cared about Palestinians. He does not hate Jews. He sees Palestinians as stupid.

The LAST Western country Israel should trust is the UK if you know the history of Israel's independence. The Jews were attacked by Palestinians, the armies of SIX Muslim countries and volunteers from other Muslim countries - having heavy BRITISH armor - while Britain tried to blockaide military equipment to the Jews. The British also did a double take on behalf of Palestinians to deny the Jews ANY land whatsoever. Prior to this, when the Nazi Himmler tried to make a deal to turn the Jews over to the UK, the UK's response was they didn't want them and wouldn't accept them.

The UK is NOT Israel's friend. The UK leadership historically is just fine with Jews being killed and Israel obliterated. This list of countries the UK screwed up is LONG. Israel and Palestine are on that long list.

I see, you don't like what David Cameron said, therefore its irrelevant. Here's the deal though, David Cameron is the PM of the UK, and as such, when he likens Gaza to a prison camp, it has far more impact then joko's dismissal.

And let's not forget that Cameron is a Tory.

Really all you did is avoid any response to anything I actually posted. Again, you never read anything others post, only listen to yourself. Your message is an off-point non-response to what I posted. What I posted is why don't Palestinians leave the "prison camp," and why doesn't David Cameron and Muslim countries up their doors to the Palestinians for them to escape too - like most Jews in Israel has to escape the oppression of the country they or their ancestors were in?

I do understand you prefer the genocidal tactics of Muslims against Jews than the control Jews exercise over Palestinians. So why don't you post that - that the Jews should kill and imprison all Palestinians who won't leave? That's the system of those you praise and endorse.

The neocon lacky is you, but you are too easily fooled and used to realize this. The more Iran is armed to militarize the region in rebellions and chaos, the more reason there will be to have military response. For the USA and West to have justification to go to war there has to be another side to fight. Pouring money into Iran is the ideal way to accomplish this goal. But they understand people like you are too simplistic and easily sold on slogans to realize this.

It is because of people like you that the wars and terrorism will go on. Adversaries are defeated by starving them on, not by pouring money on them.

They got everyone thinking this is only about nuclear weapons because people are easily fooled.
