      Why would they care about dead Jews from 80 years ago when trump is giving them the green light on killing Palestinians now?

        When he’s done with the Palestinians, his love for the Jewish people and Israel will evaporate.

          Authoritarian support of Zionism has never been about giving the Jewish people a place to live, but instead about having an excuse to exile the Jews in their midst. Zionism is anti-Semitic.

            Yep, the reason for the holocaust was that the initial Nazi plan of exiling all the Jews to Madagascar was deemed impractical.

            Always has been. Ethnicity and religion are made-up divides. Any system that seeks to keep humans divided within themselves, amongst themselves is the beast system led by one of many antichrists. Religion has been perverted by religious and political alike, for political reasons. If religion isn’t uniting someone within themselves, amongst themselves, healing schisms rather than creating them, that religion worships false gods, usually money/power. Those are tools to be used to accomplish that goal and we have ceded our real power of integrity and made them lord and master.

            No, not in the US. Here it’s absolutely about fear of Muslims and Iran. It’s about keeping them oppressed and controlled in an effort to prevent terrorist attacks. A lot of it is also just plain racism and skin color.

          Probably not as long as Israel remains firmly fascist. Trump and most of the GOP are sociopaths/psychopaths. I doubt most of them actually believe the white supremacism and racism they peddle. It’s a means of class warfare to divide and conquer — to attain and maintain power. Though, as we all know, the out groups are fluid and can change at the whim of madmen.

          At this point I’m not even convinced Hitler or the Nazi senior leadership were as — at least, initially — anti-Jewish as they were sociopaths/psychopaths utilizing the pre-existing anti-Jewish sentiment to attain power. Though, there is the question whether acting racist and violently crushing all opposition reaches a point where they themselves either believe it, or wouldn’t dare voice the truth simply out of fear of being subject to the same violence they’ve used on others.

        They were basically asking for it… Like you can’t walk around dressed that way and acting that way and not expect someone to react the way you clearly wanted them to.

        My dad used to beat the shit out of my mom and convince her it was her fault. Once she was gone he turned to me. By then I was almost grown and I beat the absolute fuck out of him. When he laid there asking why I did that I simply explained, “given the way you were acting I thought that’s what you wanted? Why would you make me do this if you didn’t want it?”

        Fucking hate people like that dude.

        Given he’s destroying his own country while the rest of us laugh at him, I expect the civil war will kick off eventually.

        That’s his plan though, much easier to reshape a democracy into an Empire during huge societal upheaval like that.

        Just gotta keep giving himself more Emergency Powers until he can get it done.

      I fucking hate Trump, but the headline doesn’t match the content:

      “I said to them, was there any sign of love?” Trump said, recounting his conversation with released hostages.

      “Did the, Hamas, show any signs of like, help? Or liking you? Did they wink? Did they give you a piece of bread extra? Did they give you a meal on the side? … Like, you know, what happened in Germany?” Trump said, absurdly comparing the hostages’ situation to the Holocaust, which murdered six million Jews.

      “People would try and help people that were in unbelievable distress,” the president went on, suggesting that the Nazis were known for their generosity.

      “No, they didn’t do that, they’d slap us,” Trump said the hostages told him about Hamas, while sitting next to the man who is currently leading Israel’s genocide in Gaza. “Their hatred is unbelievable.”

      Sounds more like a “was the pope catholic?” situation. After all, there’d be a lot more press on it if it wasn’t sarcastic questioning.

        No, you’re misreading this.

        Trump is comparing Hamas guards holding hostages to Nazi guards holding prisoners, and he is suggesting that Nazis prison guards acted with love and kindness when a prisoner was in a very dire state.

        The he switches to ‘no, the Hamas guards slapped their hostages’… implying they were worse than Nazi death/slave camp guards.

        Again, why in the world are you giving him the benefit of the doubt? He is sending people to concentration camps (2 of them) that are probably being killed and/or tortured. One of them was by mistake and they’re not bringing him back. Stop it.

        “Did the, Hamas, show any signs of like, help? Or liking you? Did they wink? Did they give you a piece of bread extra? Did they give you a meal on the side? … Like, you know, what happened in Germany?”

        He knows, but does he care? Does it actually matter to him? I have been watching and meeting all too many people who have no idea just how dangerous the world can be when there’s no rule of law and institutions protecting us. They want through life focusing on little personal gains and never truly understand how bad the world gets once Conservatives start showing their fascist foundations and the mask comes off.

      It’s only recently I’ve come to the frightening realization that…we’re all tensely waiting for World War 3 to start. It HAS started, the fronts just aren’t within the traditional empires; and a good 70% of the war is on ideology and propaganda.

        I think WW3 already happened - it was fought with oil in the '70s and the West lost (badly) to OPEC. The current one is WW4 and fought with information - and we’re losing (badly) again.

              Ehh nobody has won yet Russia is still doing their three day special military operation like 1000 days later. I wouldn’t call that a win.

              I think just like WWI and WWII the major powers will all lose and new players get a shot at finding a seat at the table
