You insist on repated Jew-bashing.<br /><br />"You are escalating this argument from a Jewish politicians words against natives to outright calling me antisemitic."<br /><br />I am merely pointing out the facts. The rich Jew antisemitic slur is a major and common one. You have said it not once, but twice. Your introducing the consideration of whether Jews are "native" to Europe into consideration of whether or not it is genocide is another.<br /><br />The escalation was entirely of your doing. As I pointed out, Rob was capable of criticizing the politicians without getting antisemitic. And quite quickly you chimed in, justifying genocide ("they are the last people to talk" of it) because Jews are supposedly rich.<br /><br />"It is easy to blame one man on the systematic destruction of a people, but he had help."<br /><br />Actually, you were the one singling out Hitler. I pointed out the fact of a long history and legacy of genocide against Jews that predated Hitler and 1492. Your reaction was to justify it because Jews were not native to Europe.<br /><br />"Your hiding behind history while it is happening to my people right here in this country."<br /><br />I hide behind nothing. Yet you repeatedly insist on racist hatred of Jews and using major stereotypes. These have nothing to do with genocide against Natives. Grow up, nazi-boy.<br /><br />(By the way, if you really insist on me "proving" that your stereotypes of money-grubbing Jews who do not belong in white homelands are part of Nazi ideology, I will do that.

Yes, it did happen in a major way. <a href="http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Judaism/expulsion.html" rel="nofollow">Here</a> is one of hte major examples.<br /><br />You seem to be engaging in something similar to Blumenthal: where you weigh genocide against Jews vs genocide against Natives, in some sort of either-or situation. You tip the scale one way, and he tips it another. <br /><br />I consider <b>both</b> to be serious, and acknowledging one does not mean forgetting the other. <br /><br />"Where I am coming from is that western Europe, where much of the holocaust took place, is not homeland to the Jewish people."<br /><br />And, really, really, what is your point on THIS one? That genocide is OK or less serious if someone's long-ago ancestors were not born in a place? By doing this, you have justified/downplayed the atrocities against the Lakota of the Great Plains. The Lakota were historically from Minnesota instead of the northern plains, after all. I, myself, cannot look at those horrific photos of the frozen victims of Wounded Knee and think "well, they really should not have left Minnesota, so it's not really so bad". That is exactly what you are doing with your point of downplaying genocide in Europe against native-born ethnic "aliens".<br /><br />"You seem to think that the Jewish people are the sole recipients of atrocity in history and that is what you have in common with the politician in question."<br /><br />This is a flat-out false accusation. I have never downplayed the genocide against Natives or other victimized groups. But you have gone down a path of whitewashing genocide with the "it's OK if your ancestors were not born there", "it's not so bad if you are rich" and other moderating excuses.<br /><br />Anon said: "To suggest that the Jewish people should cease talking about the Holocaust in any circumstance is, in fact, a pretty thoughtless thing to say."<br /><br />This "suggestion" made to you is the type of thing Pat Buchanan and Holocaust deniers like to say.dmarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269773990064736457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-44292271213227894992010-05-22T16:21:21.106-07:002010-05-22T16:21:21.106-07:00We are discussing this man's point of view as ...We are discussing this man's point of view as if he represents his "people" and allowing what he said to start a debate and judgement of history instead of calling to task the man and his beliefs.

Part of that may be because most of us are only a generation or two removed from the Holocaust; we've heard the stories directly from our parents and grandparents about separation, experimentation, work camps, and toddlers being burnt alive.<br /><br />But I think any group of persecuted human beings would act similarly if given their "own" land and the opportunity to arm themselves to protect it. Not saying it's right, but it's not just a "Jewish" thing. In Montreal, the Mohawk Council of Kahnawake evicted all non-Natives from its reserve, including friends and partners of its residents. It's not murder, but it's not right. Yet, I can understand the position of the Council of Kahnawake, even if I don't agree with it. <br /><br />Obviously, not all the Mohawks on the reserve agreed with that decree. Some moved away. And there are many Jews (myself) who are aware that what the Natives went through is nothing less than genocide, and have no desire to see the same thing repeated over in Israel. <br /><br />I think I still retain the "right" to talk about the genocide of the Jewish people, especially since it wiped out relatives I might have met and learned from in my lifetime. They died horrible deaths regardless of my position on Israel. To suggest that the Jewish people should cease talking about the Holocaust in any circumstance is, in fact, a pretty thoughtless thing to say.<br /><br />(Incidentally, my grandfather is a survivor from Dachau, and he's against the suffering the Palestinians are going through for the sake of a Jewish state. Many death camp survivors feel the same way; they went through some of the worst acts a human being could experience, and they wouldn't wish the same on anyone.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-27544668573858246952010-05-21T22:31:09.370-07:002010-05-21T22:31:09.370-07:00When I mentioned Europe, I meant WWII and the Nazi...When I mentioned Europe, I meant WWII and the Nazis "systematic" elimination of a people during that time with relationship to the systematic elimination of Native peoples on this continent; its structures and laws set in place to rid Europe of Jews. <br /><br />The complete western hemisphere was, and is homeland to indigenous tribes for over thousands of years, hopefully we can agree to this. Where I am coming from is that western Europe, where much of the holocaust took place, is not homeland to the Jewish people. Europeans, like American Indians, are tribes divided by languages and cultures, but they all fought, and still fight, for that real estate. <br /><br />If you cannot understand the difference between how far Jews have gained throughout history from his sufferage and survival compared to how much the indigenous nations continue to lose and suffer today, you fall in with the rest of America's continued ignorance.<br /><br />You seem to think that the Jewish people are the sole recipients of atrocity in history and that is what you have in common with the politician in question.<br /><br />How you claim Israel to being "like a reservation" is an insult as well. The Jewish people chose that plight and land dmarks, natives were put on reservations at gun point.<br /><br />I know of only one historical genocide against Jewish people in Nazi Germany. <br /><br />I want you to tell me when else in the history of mankind where more than 6 million Jews were systematically destroyed in a short period of time, how long it lasted, and whom were the perpetrators against the Jews. <br /><br />Then do your research on the body count of dead Natives on this continent and further south in Mexico, Central and South America.

You referred to "Europe", which indeed has a long history of genocide against Jews pre-dating the Nazi Holocaust, and pre-dating Columbus.<br /><br />"I'll take it a step further and state that the Germans may have even learned from America ..."<br /><br />An interesting point, which has bene made by Rob in this blog in the past.<br /><br />"but in the end, the Jewish state and it rationale parallels that of the US in its dealing with the Indian and his lands."<br /><br />The rationale actually lies with Israel's enemies, and not with Israel. Few in Israel want to expand Israel at all. But this nation's enemies openly boast of claims of a sort of manifest destiny, and desire to sweep the pesky Jews away.dmarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269773990064736457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-7005811926789865542010-05-21T16:42:32.630-07:002010-05-21T16:42:32.630-07:00TO DMARKS:

Ever heard of Eugenics? Did you know there were 24 states here in the US that lobbied successfully for sterilization of the "unfit" during the late 1920s? <br /><br />Look at some of the voting practices states continue to use in small towns and counties across the USA today. <br /><br />This might seem like fiction for you, but there are still areas in "the greatest nation on earth" that deny freedoms and rights for minorities and women still. <br /><br />You miss the whole point of the original argument.<br /><br />Racism and discrimination comes from all sides dmarks, and even from within each of our own groups. My point is that the Jews have collective organizations and resources to combat injustice whereas Indians do not. There is even a word for it, "anti-semitic".<br /><br />We can go round and round about Israels use and perpetual ties to the defense industry, but in the end, the Jewish state and it rationale parallels that of the US in its dealing with the Indian and his lands.<br /><br />I did not claim ALL JEWS as being affluent, only two college kids, but you seem to have your mind made up. <br /><br />I argue history with anyone, natives included, if it sheds some light on, or raises some healthy debate.Jewish Tribal Cardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-19027812476876574302010-05-21T04:47:11.150-07:002010-05-21T04:47:11.150-07:00Perhaps this man's point of view is the case o...Perhaps this man's point of view is the case of the opressed become the opressors because of established authority and social legitimacy has separated them from the root of their own opression, which has become an idealized struggle canonized by history? Perhaps the man that said this didn't grow up struggling to define and defend himself against others who would determine his worth based upon his religion so he feels safe enough to say such things without understand the hypocrisy of his beliefs?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18176109795167713603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-48985232708235987552010-05-20T20:15:44.473-07:002010-05-20T20:15:44.473-07:00Wow, Jews are so good at making enemies.

Heck, even SPLC the "source" on Hategroups and hate crimes incidents, rarely covers stories involving Natives. The recent hatecrime incident happened in Farmington, SPLC did not write about it. But now that ZOG hates Natives, I guess we can now "deny" that the Jewish holocaust happened, according to David Irving. I guess the White Supremacists are right, Jews simply CANNOT be trusted. <br /><br />Don't support a Jew.

This indiginous group is wealthy and has protection and political clout, after all.<br /><br />Does this make them fair game, and deserving of the genocide and discrimination that you think Jewish people deserve?dmarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269773990064736457noreply@blogger.com
