To Yugoslav1945: It has occurred to me to wonder if there might be a misunderstanding in this thread due to a language barrier.
What is your understanding of what the word "mandatory" means in this context?
The idea of transitions being "mandatory" just doesn't make sense. |

| Closely related to Protocols -style grand-conspiracy claims is the idea that the world is secretly run by a cabal of Jewish bankers , e.g the Rothschilds (a European Jewish banking family, who in reality are far from being the world's wealthiest bankers). Various right wing groups have advocated gra... |

| I came across the following just now, in Is It Time for the Jews to Leave Europe? by Jeffrey Goldberg, The Atlantic , April 2015: Others noted that life in Israel is not especially tranquil. Jews die violently in Israel, too. And while the presence of so many Jews in one narrow place has created a d... |

| I'll now post links to some resources for debunking Holocaust denial. The Holocaust is one of the best-documented war crimes in all of recorded history. The Nazis themselves documented it in detail, albeit with a thin veil of euphemisms. Many World War II historians have studied it in detail since t... |

| Lately I've posted quite a few threads denouncing Israel, its behavior in the war in Gaza, and its treatment of Palestinians more generally. But I certainly do NOT want to see American Christian Zionism get replaced by a return to traditional hatred of Jews. I want a world in which Jews, Palestinian... |

| Unfortunately, while I certainly don't agree that anti-Zionism is necessarily motivated by hatred of Jews, it appears that there do exist neo-Nazis and other general anti-Jewish bigots who disguise themselves as Palestinians, or as pro-Palestinian activists, as a way to try to make themselves look r... |
