I am very much in sympathy for the Palistinian cause. Ever since the Balfour declaration Palistinians have had a bum deal.I would like to see a piece of grafitti painted on that concrete wall surrounding West Bank in the symbols Star of David = the Swastika because that is exactly the way I and many people I know in New Zealand see the Middle East crisis.The more the Israeli government persecuts Palistinians the more they undermine the credbility of the holocaust. I am convinced that more of the ordinary folk in the West are begining to see what is going down. I think us ordinary folk would be willing to help the Palistinians financialy.

As a person whose grandmother denounced her Jewish faith in 1948, I feel that I could contribute here.
The Holoucast was a severe tragedstry.
6 Million killed.
But were they all Jews. The German Government admitted that many were invalids and Gypsies in their persecusions.
How can the Jews claim all as their own?
How can their actions in Palestein make them innocent.
6 million is a horrendous number. But they were not all Jews.
I don’t wan’t to quibble about the numbers.
All I wan’t is the truth.
No politics, no bull and no twisting of the facts.
This attitude is different from the facts that the Zionists are telling us.
If they can squeeze 8 million deaths of Jews, they would.
This is all about “self sorrow” and about “self preservation” in their “promised land”.
It kills me that the Zionists can kill Palestinians in the name of their “god” and cry about their suffering during WWII when they treat Palestinians just like they were treated.
DO AS I SAY BUT DON’T DO AS I DO.
Personal thought. GO HAMAS. You have the support of Palestein.

American 1,

I will die for your right to say such terrible miserable comments but I will fight against you at every step of the way from making your lunacy ever come true.

If I did not, who knows. You might just come after us papists next and any other people who stand up and speak their own opinion that you don’t agree with.

These folks that say such barbaric things be they Arab, Jew, Catholic, Protesant, Buddhist, Hindu, Communist, Atheist or whatever else should always be heard. But only heard so that we, the great majority of folks seeking peace and freedom, know who we are against and what we are fighting for.

Say your venemous remarks American 1 but maybe read a bit of American history before you decide to share them with the world.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” – Thomas Jefferson, Declaration of Independence

Were it not for the quizzical propensity of so many Muslim leaders (including the Muslim puppet “ruling” Iran) for denying the very occurance of the well-documented Holocaust, it would certainly not have the political gravitas it has today.
When leaders, and thier simple followers, steadfastly refuse to acknowlege such a truth, obvious questions are raised regarding truest intentions.
There is a vast ammount of difference, for instance, between what might seem like indifference to some and plain willful denial.
In truth, it is the odd rantings of Muslim clerics and their seemingly hypnotized subjects that requires repeated observation of the horrors of the Holocaust.
Why should anyone stop broaching a subject that so many want to pretend didn’t happen? And what does that say about the pretenders?
The fact is, the more that, for instance, the leadership in Iran denies the Holocaust, the more that they are exposed.
I say, keep exposing these Islamic fanatics.

There is a saying: “Those who pay the piper call the tune.”

Guess who is the payer and who is the piper?

About anti-Semitism

People talk with liberty about Muslim extremists, and Christian fundamentalists; but they stop short of uttering the forbidden word â€œJewish extremistsâ€

We as people who desire justice, and long for peace; and we as human race can never achieve equality without applying the same criteria and standards for ALL; and that should also include any other ideology, not only religious one, but also we must acknowledge that there are secular extremists, and atheists fundamentalists, Marxist extremistsâ€¦ etc.

The other important point that should be recognized is the way the holocaust was \
