Thousands of Israeli nationalists took part in the controversial Jerusalem Day "Dance of the Flags".

The event is provocative to the Palestinian population, given it marks the anniversary of Israel seizing East Jerusalem and the Old City, and the group marches through the Muslim Quarter of the Old City.

Jerusalem's status is one of the most divisive issues in the discussion about a two-state solution, with both Israelis and Palestinians believing it is intrinsically linked to their identity.

So... It seems apparent the what Israeli Gov't Jews learnt from the Holocaust is:

"Do unto Muslims as has been done unto you."

But, of course, deny you're doing it during the entire time you're doing it. No one will hold you to account without a full-out global world war.

Methinks Israeli Gov't Jews learnt the wrong lesson from German Gov't Nazis. It wasn't meant as a "howto".

🤦‍♀️ 🤷‍♂️ 🤡 🖕

Never again, I presume was do unto others before they do unto you.

Israeli society is absolutely sick, and we are all complicit in this genocide to one degree or another.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

We're all at least a little complicit, but if you attend and help organise rallies, write to politicians, and vote left wing, you're less complicit than the people who do nothing.

So if "Free Palestine!" is the new "Heil Hitler!" then what is "Death to Arabs!"?

Nobody has done more harm to the Jewish image in the past 80 years than Israel. I think religion is a joke anyway, but I certainly have no respect for the Jewish religion as a whole.

I’m with you on this part. Past that, let’s agree to disagree.

I mean, it's still quite the elephant in the room that hasn't really been talked about.

Judaism is a restricted affair, you have to be born into it to be considered a part of the group that God has chosen to be saved. To them, almost everyone else is permanently non qualified, therefore they are not in the group. If you do want to convert, you have to jump through a bunch of hoops, and put up with a ritual of rejection until you're accepted. By definition it's an ethno-relegious group.

From that viewpoint, it's only a skip away from ethno-nationalism, which is what Zionism is.

Unlike Christianity and Islam which offer the ability to join, and actively convince you to join. (Also Hinduism, Buddhism, etc).

There are only about 15 million Jews compared to 2.6 billion Christian and 1.9 billion Muslims.

Food for thought.

Non-Hebrews don't need to be saved. You don't need to go to Gan Eden or Sheol if you're not Jewish. You can just go to Valhalla or Hades or Yomi or Xibalba instead.

Cut out one more sentence from the end and I agree

Fucking disgusting people.

Seems like Nazis and these guys have a lot in common.

I would guess these are the ones that still see themselves as God's chosen people, superior to all others.

That level of nationalism could make neo-Nazis blush. The Abrahamic religion(s) rejected the much older Semitic traditions, but only after plagerising them, right down to the "Genesis" being Enuma Elish—boy, they hated the Babylonians, but they hated everyone, really. So then they whacked it under monotheism, where the one god conveniently chooses the Abrahamic people as the superior ones over the other Semites—what a fucking coincidence! 😲

It's kinda like Nordicisim but instead of it being about some pseudo "Aryan race" or superiority though "social Darwinism", it's tribalism—12 to be exact. It evolved into superiority of ethnicity by divinie will, backed by ancient texts riddled with acts of genocide and regional conquest, excused as righteous divinity, despite no real obvious purposes behind them besides control.

So while they're chanting "Death to Arabs" here and rolling out yet another round of localised ethnic cleansing there, they're somehow avoiding the irony of being the most "antisemitic" of Semites, the Arabs being the largest group within, no less.

Its a level of nationalistic ideology you can't stop overnight, lol. That shit runs deep on so many levels.

Turn the other cheek?
