It often is toxic but it also is often a positive force for the advancement of people in all the various nations. Nationalism wont end regardless. It's naively utopian to think it could. I think it makes sense to acknowledge nationalism as a manifestation of human nature and try to promote the positive aspects of that and oppose the toxic parts. My bona fides go back a long way. When I was 19 I sat for a state federal public service entrance exam (came 3rd) and there was an essay question which was "Discuss the philosophy of boundaries". I wrote then in favour of no national borders and one world democratic government. Nationalism is founded on racism. They may invoke religion but it's really racism which is the root problem.

spidermike007 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 I do not think much of the criticism is against jews, but rather Israeli foreign policy, and the Gaza genocide. I am an American jew, and I am highly critical of the disproportionate nature of this response, and the thousands of women and children who are being slaughtered by the IDF. But, I have been critical of Israeli policy for decades now, and it does not make me popular amongst many of my jewish friends. I tend to keep my mouth shut around them. Most of the time. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post scorecard Posted February 6 Popular Post Share Posted February 6 16 hours ago, Nick Carter icp said: The threads are about Israel, rather than being about Jews and you have always been allowed and able to criticise Israel , although attacking Jews because of the current war is still considered to be anti Semitic . Voicing disagreement with Israel's actions is currently allowed and always has been allowed , physically attacking a Jew isn't allowed and never has been . Not much has changed really Seem to me that much of the current sentiment relates to netanyahu's personal attitudes and his lack of any respect for all others / for humanity. He's a monster. His spoken desires to totally obliterate Palestine is to me very worrying and shows his lack of any balance. Further, to me, he well fits the type that claim (with some truth) that Jewish folks have been very badly treated in Europe etc., but at the same time he wants to hit others with the same treatment. In the current conflict his attitude to killing children and totally and deliberately destroying health care and destroying access to food, medicines, aid., etc. is very disturbing. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of your 'historical' narrative is full of false facts, inaccuracies and fantasies. Lush forests? A whole lot of it is arid. Antisemitism is nonsense? As in nothing to see here? Move along? That old bit about 'semites' was done to death on these topics. Nobody actually refers to anyone but Jews when using it. May want to read up on where the term came from. You seem to have no idea about Arab violence during the British Mandate time, or maybe you're just ignoring it. You conspiracy theories (which you cannot and will not support) about 'paid off' or 'compromised' are just the handy tool when you got nothing. Same for you 'infiltrated' rhetoric. Zionists signed peace agreements with neighboring Arab countries, and do nothing much about the 20% strong Arab minority within Israel. You are what you say is 'nonsense' - an antisemite.

True; I'm not a supporter of Israel, its leaders, policies or its present massacre of mostly women and children Gazsaians. But as far as religion goes; I don't like or dis-like Jews any more than I do Christians. They all have their bad parts. Some have done good stuff. I'm not at all happy with the western countries that have allowed Israel to gradually grow into the monster it is. But, I reckon the end is in sight for the whole Zionist cults; whatever religion they hide behind. Bitten off more than they can chew. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneMoreFarang Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 1 hour ago, Morch said: Most of your posts on related topics exhibit a clear bias. You usually save the fiery rhetoric and over the top comments for one of the sides, not both. And the reason for that is that one of the sides has all the weapons and the money and the support from the USA. The other side can't do much. And if they do something then it is often low tech like suicide bombers. And that is obviously condemned by the western world. I am sure they would instead use fighter jets if they would have them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can make this short: Do you see anything wrong about the Israeli war in Gaza? If yes, please let us know. Because for me it seems you think Israel is doing a great job.

According to Chris Hedges - and others - reckon it's well below 10%. Most Israelis have their roots in Europe, although a few come from the US.

ozimoron Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 My preference would be for a single secular nation (banning religious leaders from elections) with proportional representation and a parliament and electorates decided on population numbers with gerrymandering banned. Failing that, the total arable land and water resources should be divided proportionate to the population including living refugees and their descendants. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see him more as an opportunist, invested above all else in himself and his political survival, hanging to power - than as someone who strongly believes in any ideology. Sure, he's right-wing and all that, but he's not actually into the hardcore stuff. Not that he cares or likes the Palestinians, but I don't think he actually hates them. That's something more associated with his coalition partners. Being politically weak and dependent on them, he goes along with or does not resist them. In a way, that's evil as well - but not quite the active 'monster' some portray. All things considered, he's probably more a danger to Israel than to the Palestinians.
