Minorities, or anyone labeling themselves as minorities, Syrians who left Israel at the request of the nations preparing to attack and exterminate Israel prior to the Six Day War in which Israel defeated the massive armies of the nations surrounding them who were about to commit genocide, and basically anyone else who can potentially be played as an underdog in the rhetorical game of politics is portrayed as such it would seem.

The Israelis have been undergoing a sort of ethnic cleansing, or genocide, of the palestinians in the gaza strip/west bank for quite some years now. Hamas are trying to defend the native palestinians from the Israelis, but of course, they were given the label "terrorist" because they challenged what was going on there. In this case though, the Israelis are the terrorists. The War on Terror is a complete fraud.

The OP is kind of vague but I’ll take a shot.
I don’t have anything against underdogs or minorities. I even admire them quite a bit, depending.
What I can’t stand is the perpetual victim mentality.
For example; when Irish, German, Italian, eastern European, etc. immigrants came into the US in the 18th and early 20th century they were treated like unwanted dirt but cowboy’d up to anyway it and made something of themselves.

I agree with you . Western Visitors of Israel have actually seen refugee camps that resemble Nazi concentration camps.
The ethical cleansing began in 1948 which was not long after the genocide of millions of Jews in europe. that is pretty much the definition of hypocrisy.
Try debating this with a forum thread full of nationalists and conservatives. It's not too fun.
