These views are not the product of Zionism, but the result of daily conflict.
Well to be realistic it is a combination of the two. One cannot deny that those settlers (who are the real freakos) are Zionists, and they are beyond all human logic. Zionism by its very nature, and propaganda has regarded the Arab as nothing. Remember the quote: “A land without people for a people without land”, you know what that quote really meant? Since no Europeans lived on the land the people who did were not people, they were untermenschen types. Zionism is a ideology based on the teachings of “Jewish” superiority, and actions by many in Israel show as such.
Arab biases against Jews are taught to schoolchildren who, if they are lucky, grow up to find the propaganda completely false.
Same for Zionist children who are taught the same thing. Many Israeli’s are silent but conscious of their innate hatred of the Arab. I don’t believe that all Arabs or Israeli’s are racist, or ideological, or warlike but many are. What irks me is that Israeli’s complain about Pals. being militarized, when almost everyone in Israel has some affiliation with the military.
Just because some idiot sprays graffitti on a wall does not mean that it reflect the views of Israeli jews, just the most deranged religiously motivated settlers.
But it does seem to reflect the thoughts of those in the gov’t, some members of the govt are openly speaking of mass deportations, reminiscent of the Nazi campaign to kick out Jews of Germany. Let’s be realistic here, the comparisons btwn Zionism and Nazism are founded in an accurate historical compares. I realize that it causes much reaction, but again we are dealing with a very dangerous emotive-intellectual complex that makes some incapable of such comparisons. Israeli’s are traumatized by the horrors of WWII, and the holocaust industry doesn’t make anyone forget it. It is psychological in nature, and Israel is radicalizing to the fascist right. What that so called “idiot” sprayed on a war is how all the shit started in Germany, angst.
You can't blame soldiers for hating those who would like to have them dead, it is only human, and you can't blame Jews for being angry about terrorism.
True, but there are limits to human decency.
One recounts how a comrade of his threw a stun grenade at Palestinian children "just to relieve the boredom." Another tells of how his commander held up a wedding procession during a curfew, stopping the bride and groom, dressed in their best clothes, by taking away their car keys. He smiled as the bride cried.
May I ask you what the hell does that maliciousness have to do with anger? This is beyond anger this is de-humanization of millions of people. When you de-humanize people they are nothing but cattle. This same disgusting logic was used against the Jews in Europe by Zionists:
One Cow in Palestine is worth more than all the Jews in Poland"
Izaak Greenbaum
What a humanitarian! This program of de-humanization of enemies is common throughout the Zionist ideology.
Arabs are indoctrinated with similar anti-jewish propaganda, and actually sided with the Nazis during WWII.
Hey so did some Zionists what’s your point?
but it is the Palestinian terrorism that instigates greater and greater violence against them, and the political move to the right.
What instigates greater violence here is not so much Pal. Terrorism, their actions are a reaction to a cause. That cause is the illegal occupation of their land. Their de-humanization, the destruction of their homes, their lives, and their dignity. Israeli’s are damned lucky all they get are some suicide bombs. Yes Pal terrorism doesn’t help their situation but it completely justifiable, and understandable.
although Palestinians have suffered, there has been no genocide, and nothing even comparable to the Holocaust.
