    Slightly different angle then.
    Did Mao get them to sigh confession papers like Stalin managed before they were killed?

    Of course we would have a different view if Germany won the war. And what a ****ed up horrible Europe that would be

    If the Nazis had won the war, the OP's strange question would be even stranger, because Israel wouldn't exist, and Palestine would have been renamed Palastein:o.

    True enough. The Nazis used referenda to seduce power out of the hands of the people's representatives and concentrate it in the hands of a few. Thankfully, this hasn't happened......

    The Nazis probably would have an open border Europe with a single currency and all policies would come from some sort of European commision, oh wait....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,526 ✭✭✭m@cc@


    yeah its exactly the same isnt it.

    "No nation in Europe can achieve on its own the highest level of economic freedom which is compatible with all social requirements...The formation of very large economic areas follows a natural law of development....interstate agreements in Europe will control [economic forces generally]...There must be a readiness to subordinate one's own interests in certain cases to those of [the EC]." - Taken from the book 'The European Community' published in 1942, who's principal editor was: Nazi Economics Minister and war criminal Walther Funk.

    Comparisons can be made is all I'm saying, if you're talking about a Europe of today under the Nazis.

    Hitler obviously. OP, this is the kinda sh1t that gleefully gets held up as an example of how criticism of Israel's policy on Palestine = anti-semitism.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    Given what we do know, and what is well documented, and considering there are still numerous survivors, it's still loathsome - and attention-seeking - for a person to pretend they're being open-minded by stating we don't know the full facts about the Holocaust, Hitler has been misrepresented etc. It happened - and happened recently. This isn't Ancient Rome we're talking about. So what if we don't have the exact figures or that we didn't know everything about Hitler? I find it baffling people would seek to discredit it - and it very much smacks of an anti-Semitic agenda...

    Ethnic cleansing is ethnic cleansing.

    In some ways hitler was worse because of the raw horror of the way his regime treated humanity.

    In other ways the state of Israel is worse, for the sly way it can still be percieved as a proper "democratic" nation, despite its horrific crimes against humanity.

    Ultimately, this is because of what Hitler did though. And I think a large part of Israel's actions , and the reason the US/Nato/West turn a blind eye to these, are essentially down to Hitler's actions.

    Plus Israel never destroyed half of Europe.

    And anyway, Sharon was just a part of the machine -- not the engine, the way Hitler was to the Nazi machine. Hitler was such a monster that even comparing others to him has a hint of letting him off the hook.

    Hitler was a lot worse. It's a slam-dunk tbf.

    So you're saying:
    The Express said that Germany was "now confronted with an international boycott of its trade, its finances, and its industry....In London, New York, Paris and Warsaw, Jewish businessmen are united to go on an economic crusade."

    The article went on, "worldwide preparations are being made to organize protest demonstrations."

    On March 27, 1933 the planned protest at Madison Square Garden was attended by 40,000 protestors (New York Daily News headlines: "40,000 Roar Protest Here Against Hitler").

    Similar rallies and protest marches were also held in other cities. The intensity of the Jewish campaign against Germany was such that the Hitler government vowed that if the campaign did not stop there would be a one-day boycott in Germany of Jewish-owned stores.

    Hitler's March 28, 1933 speech ordering a boycott against Jewish stores and goods was in direct response to the declaration of war on Germany by the worldwide Jewish leadership.

    That same spring of 1933 there began a period of private cooperation between the German government and the Zionist movement in Germany and worldwide to increase the flow of German-Jewish immigrants and capital to Palestine.

    Growing anti-Semitism in Germany and by the German government in response to the boycott played into the hands of the Zionist leaders. Prior to the escalation of anti-Semitism as a result of the boycott the majority of German Jews had little sympathy for the Zionist cause of promoting the immigration of world Jewry to Palestine. Making the situation in Germany as uncomfortable for the Jews as possible, in cooperation with German National Socialism, was part of the Zionist plan to achieve their goal of populating Palestine with a Jewish majority.

    "For all intents and purposes, the National Socialist government was the best thing to happen to Zionism in its history, for it "proved" to many Jews that Europeans were irredeemably anti-Jewish and that Palestine was the only answer: Zionism came to represent the overwhelming mjaority of Jews solely by trickery and cooperation with Adolf Hitler." [1]


    ...led directly to the destruction of Europe?

    Reread that article again when you get off the drugs, buddy.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 6,869 ✭✭✭Mahatma coat


    you seem to be missing the point I was making

    that was the First Act of War that ultimatley led to the destruction of Europe, The ''innocent'' Jews started it


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,643 ✭✭✭Father Damo


    Definitely Sharon. At least you wouldnt catch Hitler playing jungle music at 6 in the morning.

    Depends what you mean by "discredit". Stating that you have an open mind on such an issue smacks of extreme laziness and lack of education (is this stuff not covered in school any more?), but you're deriving causation from correlation.

    Anti-semitic holocaust deniers are idiots, but not all idiots are anti-semitic holocaust deniers.

    The Israel/Palestine issue is several orders of magnitude more complex.

    Hitler was responsible for the deaths of over twenty million people, Stalin killed even more than that. Saddam Hussein, George Bush, Chairman Mao and dozens of despotic leaders in South America, Africa and Asia have killed countless millions of innocent civilians over the last hundred years.

    Ariel Sharon, undeniably not a saint doesn't even belong in this thread.

    I say 50/50.

    He's not dead.

    Sharon is still alive, you can't even get that right ffs.

    Ah now, he's in a permanent vegetative state, in fairness.

    His thread isn't that bad considering.

    Hitler was worse... i could have sworn that.

    You're only hating Sharon because you associate the Palestinians being opressed by Isreal as being like the Irish and the way we were opressed by England. Bollocks. Two different cases. Whats happening in the Middle East has been going on for thousands of years. Nobody knows who was there first.

    Sharon worse than Hitler... i mean for **** sake...
