Netanyahu: Hitler didn't want to kill the Jews, Palestinian talked him into it

[bagelman]

"Hitler wasn't that bad"
-Prime Minister of Israel

We cannot support Israel as long as it is lead by an evil insane maniac.

(Edit: This was a bit of a knee jerk reaction, but I stand by this guy being an evil insane maniac)

[dead0man]

Also this is almost too much of a cheap shot, but uh where's dead0man?  The silence is... well, you know.

Oddly enough I was tying this up!


You guys were oddly quiet in the thread about Abbas lying that lead to, you know, people dying, holy sites burning.  Bibi says something stupid, nobody riots, nobody gets all stabby stabby, but it gets one hot thread!

<shakes head>

I believe the playbook says for you to insult me and perhaps theorize that my opinion is paid for by some do Joos.  And no Ag, I'm still not Jewish.

[dead0man]

And if you can point to a post where I've defended something stupid Bibi said I'll be very impressed.  Good luck.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Overall do you think Bibi is a good PM or good for Israel?

[dead0man]

meh, I don't know.  As I've said before, I don't really follow the internal politics of foreign countries.

I'd like to see you be so nonchalant the next time someone who doesn't toe the Likud line "says something stupid".

Just because you believe something don't make it true.  (And, no, citing Snowstalker won't work.  I think I speak for all sane people when I say you're both wrong.)

Sure ok that's believable.  Nevermind that being good for Israel requires more than just domestic affairs, of course.

And that's why I rabidly oppose Netanyahu.

He has no issues endangering Jews all around the world and twisting the truth for short term local political gain.

Jews around the world deserves better than be used as pawns by Netanyahu.

[Simfan34]

I saw a headline reading "Netanyahu criticised for Holocaust remark" and wondered just exactly what kind of comment a Jew would have to make about the Holocaust to receive condemnation for it. Now I see. He essentially trivialises Nazi responsibility for the Holocaust to make an absurd political point blaming Palestinians. It simply defies comprehension.

It is, indeed, abundantly clear that Netanyahu presents a clear and serious threat to the well-being of the State of Israel.

[Stand With Israel. Crush Hamas]

I think it's fair to say at this point that, if one cares about the welfare of the Jewish people and/or the safety and acceptance they enjoy as residents of the State of Israel (as I, let us be perfectly clear, do), then one is basically obligated to oppose Netanyahu and, indeed, the entire right-nationalist strain which keeps him in power.

(As I, once again, do.)

Not really. Given that UNESCO just declared two of the most iconic Jewish heritage sites "Muslim sites", the right still seems to be essential. It's time for Bibi to ride off into the sunset and let someone else carry that banner, though - he's more of a handicap at this point for a dominant movement.

then again a former SS officer and witness for the prosecution who was himself looking to escape the noose (he didn't succeed) is perhaps not be the most reliable source.

No wonder Netanyahu is so popular among Republicans. He'd be right at home as a Fox News commentator.

No they didn't. Learn to read.

What Bibi said was silly and was done in a bad way, but people here are making ridiculous exaggerations about what he said ("Bibi defends Hitler!!!").

[DavidB.]

So interesting to see that all of Israel's haters suddenly care so much about Israel that they feel the necessity to say that Netanyahu is representing the state badly, knowing what's good for Israel and for Jews all over the world. Almost heartwarming... if it weren't for the fact that it's utterly insincere, for most of these people would rather see Israel disappear altogether, which would, of course, make Jews all over the world sooo much safer...

Bibi's statement was kinda dumb, surprisingly almost, and I'm not going to defend that, but as Danny said, it isn't even remotely as dumb as the media and some Atlasians are spinning it.

Because Simfan and MasalpinaGold are totally "Israel haters".

For pro-Israel right-wingers, anyone who is critical of the rising nationalist, Likudnik/Jewish Home attitude is "anti-Israel".

I for one actually agree with most of the points that you've been making in the thread about the Theroux documentary. Make of that what you will.

Except that his statement isn't dumb. It's hateful, incendiary and totally deranged.

There are like 5 Israel- or Jew-haters in the whole forum that aren't trolls
Being opposed to the Likud's or Bibi's policies isn't the same as being an Israel- or Jew hater

Then you probably shouldn't blindly defend every single action of his government, which is basically what you do. In fact there's even been times when after learning the actual facts you admit that Israel WAS wrong but only after attempting a blind defense before knowing the facts of the case, which is pretty absurd. I recall this happening once when I was attacking Israel's utterly repulsive marriage laws for example.

[dead0man]

Perhaps I knee jerk a bit from time to time, but it's not like the anti-Zionists are any better.  The difference is, most of you would never admit it.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

In one way, I should be surprised that Bibi would say this, and in another I shouldn't. Bibi ought to have known better, but it is human nature to lay all sorts of ills upon one's current adversaries. Unlike 75 years ago, the Arabs and not the Nazis are the main adversary Jews face today.

"a bit". LOL.

and the fact you seem to be referring to me in that is proof you rarely read into it much, since I'm not even particularly anti-Israel, just anti-Netanyahu and Likud.
