> The EU is in big trouble. More than half the population of EU
is aware of the atrocities committed by Israel, and are
therefore very critical of the official position of the EU. Even
Joseph Jungle-Borrell was forced to show nuance in his comments
on the situation. Here in Denmark, the state media actually
reports on the sufferings of Palestinian civilians, not because
they want to, but because they have to: The BDS Israel movement
is quite strong among Danish consumers, and most Danes are quite
well-informed on this subject. Even our prime minister had to
retract some of her Zionistic statements because of the ongoing
genocide, and she had to pledge to continue support for
Palestinian civilians. Cheers from Denmark!

> While going to war brought the unsavoury prospect of fighting
fellow Jews in Russia, France and Britain, for the majority of
Jews this severing of ties with Jewish communities in the
Entente was accepted part of their spiritual mobilisation for
war. After all, the conflict also pitted German Catholics and
Protestants against their fellow believers in the east and west.
Indeed, for some Jews the fact that Jews were going to war with
one another was proof of the normality of German-Jewish life;
they could no longer be considered a minority with transnational
loyalties but loyal German citizens. German Jews often broke
ties with Jews of other countries; the Alliance Israélite
Universelle, a French organisation that was dedicated to
protecting Jewish rights, saw a German Jewish member quit once
the war started, declaring that he could not, as a German,
belong to a society that was under French leadership.[47] German
Jews supported German colonial ambitions in Africa and Eastern
Europe, out of the desire to increase German power and to rescue
Eastern European Jews from Tsarist rule. The eastern advance
became important for German Jews because it combined German
military superiority with rescuing Eastern Jews from Russian
brutality; Russian antisemitism and pogroms had only worsened as
the war dragged on.[48][49] However, German Jews did not always
feel a personal kinship with Russian Jews. Many were repelled by
Eastern Jews, who dressed and behaved differently, as well as
being much more religiously devout. Victor Klemperer, a German
Jew working for military censors, stated "No, I did not belong
to these people, even if one proved my blood relation to them a
hundred times over...I belonged to Europe, to Germany, and I
thanked my creator that I was German."[50] This was a common
attitude amongst ethnic Germans however; during the invasion of
Russia the territories the Germans overran seemed backwards and
primitive, thus for many Germans their experiences in Russia
simply reinforced their national self-concept.[51]

> Prominent Jewish industrialists and bankers, such as Walter
Rathenau and Max Warburg played major roles in supervising the
German war economy.
>
> In October 1916, the German Military High Command administered
the Judenzählung (census of Jews). Designed to confirm
accusations of the lack of patriotism among German Jews, the
census disproved the charges, but its results were not made
public.[52] Denounced as a "statistical monstrosity",[53] the
census was a catalyst to intensified antisemitism and social
myths such as the "stab-in-the-back myth"
(Dolchstoßlegende).[54] For many Jews, the fact the census was
carried out at all caused a sense of betrayal, as German Jews
had taken part in the violence, food shortages, nationalist
sentiment and misery of attrition alongside their fellow
Germans, however most German-Jewish soldiers carried on
dutifully to the bitter end.[48]
>
> When strikes broke out in Germany towards the end of the war,
some Jews supported them. However, the majority of Jews had
little sympathy for the strikers and one Jewish newspaper
accused the strikers of "stabbing the frontline army in the
back." Like many Germans, German Jews would lament the Treaty of
Versailles.[48]

Hiroshima without using nuclear weapons. He further added
Israeli forces can use American guided bombs during a ground

to a depth of 30-50 m before exploding, which will make it
possible to destroy the underground weapons production

This commenter is our enemy. Israel itself is neither neoliberal
nor neoconservative, Israel is dissident right (a.k.a.
identitarian). Dissident rightists allowed to power will treat
"non-whites" in their countries like Israel is currently
treating Palestinians.
In contrast, Clinton (who heroically bombed Serbia) was a
neoliberal. Neoliberalism is not the problem. Willingness to
wage wars against distant countries is not the problem: it is
all about which distant countries, and why. Neoconservatism
advocates war against non-democratic countries in order to turn
them democratic, hence we as anti-democrats are opposed to
neoconservatism. Neoliberalism can be interpreted to advocate
waging war against countries with closed borders (including
Israel!) in order to open their borders, hence we as
pro-migrationists are not necessarily opposed to applied
neoliberalism (even if we disagree with parts of its underlying
reasoning e.g. capitalism).
The problem is that Zionist neoliberals (including Clinton)
since the founding of Israel have hypocritically allowed Israel
to be the sole exception to their otherwise neoliberal
principles just because Israel is Jewish. If Clinton had been a
consistent neoliberal, he would have bombed Israel along with
Serbia. Neoliberalism and Zionism should theoretically be
incompatible.We wish Clinton had been more neoliberal (and hence
less Zionist), not less neoliberal.

If there are two countries, one democratic and one autocratic,
the latter does not prevent the former from working, therefore
neoconservatism (ie. invasion of the autocratic country) is
unjustified.
If there are two countries, one with open borders and one with
closed borders, the latter prevents the former from working
(because it only takes the border to be closed from one side for
it to be closed), therefore neoliberalism (ie. invasion of the
country with closed borders) is justified.
Anyone who puts neoliberalism and neoconservatism in the same
category is not to be trusted.

--- End Quote ---
His claim was a reply to eyewitness testimony from the
humanitarian group Doctors Without Borders (known by its French
acronym MSF). A nurse working with MSF had observed that the
huge numbers of people taking shelter in al-Shifa “think the
hospital is a safe place but there is no safe place.”
There is only one possible interpretation of Schwammenthal’s
comment. He is implicitly contending that it would be
justifiable for Israel to target al-Shifa based on allegations
that Hamas is active in the vicinity.
Schwammenthal made his comment shortly after Ehud Barak, a
former Israeli prime minister, dropped a strong hint that an
attack on al-Shifa is being prepared.
It is not the first time that Schwammenthal – who heads the AJC
Transatlantic Institute (an office of the American Jewish
Committee) – has made an argument like that.
During Israel’s 2014 offensive against Gaza, he offered excuses
for Israel’s mass killing of civilians by referencing the
seventh paragraph of a Washington Post article.
The paragraph in question branded al-Shifa “a de facto
headquarters for Hamas leaders, who can be seen in the hallways
and offices.”
In Schwammenthal’s view, The Washington Post did not seem to
realize “the enormity of this information.” He added: “The
leadership of one of the warring parties is hiding in a
hospital, a clear war crime validating Israeli accusations.”
Contrary to what Schwammenthal inferred, The Washington Post is
not an exemplar of impartiality. It is a publication which
reflects the thinking of the US establishment – an establishment
then as now siding vociferously with Israel.
The paragraph which caught Schwammenthal’s eye did not validate
Israel’s accusations...[/quote]
