You know it's funny, people want to call us Nazis. But one group was ACTUALLY an ally to the Nazis as a matter of historical record.


The Arab countries were firmly convinced that Germany would win the war and that the Arab cause would then prosper. The Arabs were Germany’s natural friends because they had the same enemies as had Germany, namely the English, the Jews and the Communists. Therefore they were prepared to cooperate with Germany with all their hearts and stood ready to participate in the war, not only negatively by the commission of acts of sabotage and the instigation of revolutions, but also positively by the formation of an Arab Legion.

What the Grand Mufti and Hitler did is ALSO a matter of historical record now. You WON'T read it. But you should.

That's who we were dealing with in the 40's. Hitler's ally and admirer. All factual.

So if anyone has some Nazi ties in their past, history certainly says it's not the Jews...

The thing about the Arabs and Nazis isn't actually a good point, rafiki. It's a lot like the discussion you just had with PW, where it's true enough (like there was guerrilla fighting by Jewish groups in Palestine before WW2 even) that you can end up in a ridiculous conversation because it's just adversarial instead of something like people trying to discover the truth.

Anyway, what about those maps of the Peel partition? You've been to the Negev right? Do you really think it's fair to just say the Arabs rejected getting 80% of the land like that and take advantage of the fact that other people in this thread don't know the geography of Israel like you do?

Yeah, because it's the one my tax dollars are supporting. The slaughter is being done in my name and I have an obligation to speak my mind.

The Germans and Italians had some Nazi ties, but of course we don't ascribe sinister genetic animus to white people the way we do with Arabs so we accept that what some folks' grandparents were up to isn't worth a tinker's damn in 2024.

But Trolly they're finding Mein Kampf in Hamas safe houses when they leave in a hurry. AND they hate Jews about as much as anyone does.
Lastly, Hamas just killed the most Jews in one day since....Hitler.

So respectfully, your Italian story doesn't hold up in this case.

Your tax dollars are directly or indirectly involved in many "slaughters," including 10/7. You should check out which side we support in Sudan (the Arab militias ethnically cleansing blacks in case you were wondering, which happen to be the same guys opposing Houthi/Iran adventurism).

The Germans and Italians forsook fascism after WWII, and embraced liberalism. The Arabs doubled down on fascism and many then recently pivoted to Islamism, which is kind of the same thing except with throwing in religious fanaticism. The problem isn't just bad decision that were made 100-80 years ago, the problem is subsequent generations just keep doubling down.

This is something Richard Hanania writes about a lot, as he admits it is personal to him. As an Arab who can clearly see liberalism and individualism provide superior outcomes compared to collectivism and fascism, he is interested why literally no Arab nation has come to the same conclusion, regardless of how bad the outcomes have been. And he acknowledges the problem isn't Islam per se, as Arab Christians in the 20th century were probably more enthusiastic of Naziism and fascism as Muslims.

And yet you are the biggest Putin cheerleader in this forum, who is literally committing genocide, and using "fighting Naziism" as a bad faith rationale for it.

Hmm, wtc (at least at that time) was less Jewish by percentage than Manhattan generally.

supporting a cease fire and an end to hostilities is considered pro-Putin by typical libs. like I said, Orwellian.

anyway, nobody in Gaza is reading some dumb book on 1930s Germany. have some self respect.

I wonder if these subs are correct. I also wonder if Israels just believe anything, like anything at all.

If a cease fire included Ukraine to back down to Russia's takeover and demands then that would be peak putin support. Supporting the idea of of cease fire that included russia packing up and gtfo wouldn't be

I guess Victor might say Ukraine. Where else commonly?

Because if the list is Israel and maybe Ukraine (lol), then we have more evidence to the very very obvious.
More slanderous bullshit. You can't tacitly accuse people of anti-semitism when they're saying they think that Jewish people should have been given a safe place in the US. But you do you.

The fact is your beloved but revolting country has become Apartheid in most regards but name - probably worse in fact.

I am not sure forum rules allow you to call any democratic country revolting no matter how much you dislike some of the choices of that country

And even if this is true, they are still the shining diamond in a giant pile of coal for that part of the world.

Iran is in theory a democracy. So is Gaza. Democracy by itself isn't enough. Without liberal norms, democracies quickly become totalitarian collectivist states with no individual liberties or freedoms.

Israel is reporting they have already found 50 smuggling tunnels going from Rafah into Egypt. Probably just the tip of the iceberg. As I said before, at its core the insurgency is a business, and by taking over the border crossing Israel is ****ing with the business; which is upsetting the Arabs way more than Palestinian's dying. Getting the smuggling tunnels back might actually be the impetus that gets the Sunni Arab states to finally work to get rid of Hamas.

Also, Israel is reporting that they are getting information that a lot of the hostages, including many Thai farmers, are dead and probably have been since 10/7. There is probably a reason Hamas has so steadfastly refused to confirm the live hostages, because there are a lot less than believed, and probably have been since the jump.
