Yeah, and the Brits did a good job for decades maintaining a small yearly quota, even in the years immediately following WWII and the holocaust, despite pressure from all over Europe to let all the Jews move in. (The rest of Europe framed it as a favor to let the Jews relocate, kinda like it is a favor to fly a homeless man to Hawaii) Truman really stepped up the pressure with the UN and then the Brits gave up and let the UN take control, who then let hundreds of thousands of Jews enter.Fat Cat wrote:Actually Palestine was the target of an aggressive pan-European emigration movement by Jews during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century called "Zionism".

Re: Secret Wars
The British were in charge of Palestine for a mere 26 years. The Zionist movement began in the 1890s. And the reason the British limited it was because they didn't want their territories flooded by Jews fleeing Hitler.

Your proximity bias is blinding you to these very things happening in your own country. Every society has bad apples. Is America defined by the minority black communities any more than Israel is defined by the minority haredi communities? Perspective- you can haz it?Kraj 2.0 wrote:Why not?

We made them bankers and money people. Our persecutions forced them even more inward. They were smart enough to make being a proffessional an honored part of their culture.
Man you don't even know me OL, let alone in RL To be any more proud of my ancestors I'd have to be a fucking white supremist.
I'm not talking shit about my ancestors, I am being honest about what they had a hand in. If you have European blood, then you come from Christians, who did not used to be able to lend money and charge intrest because of the Church but it was OK for a Jew to lend money and charge intrest. The Kings, Dukes, Chamberlines and other Boss men of Europe would all have their own Jews so they can lend each other money through the Jews and charge intrest.
I have respect for those who see what they want and go for it. That is what we white people did here in the US and I do no navel gazing and I am not sorry in the least. To me to bitch about the Isreali's doing the same is hypocrisy. Damn right I admire a people who outnumbered took Palistine, renamed it and then defended it against Egypt, Jordan, Syria and the Palistinian Arabs.
I have respect for a Nation that puts it's people above anyone else instead of the bullshit we have been doing since the 1960s. Maybe after being punked by the Turks, Germans and Russians, you Slavs could learn a thing or 2 from the Isreali's instead of emulating the Nazi's like you all did as soon as the Soviet yoke was lifted. Now Fat Cat is going to come on here and compare the Isreali's to the Nazi's. Well the Jews beat the Jawas in Combat, not by rounding them up in gasing them in camps.
Do I have issues with Isreal? Sure but for the most part they are past issues. Sure I do thhink we stabbed the Brits in the back with early support for Isreal, that rankles me but that was the 1940s. The Liberty should have been avenged and the commander of the US Carrier on station was launching a retalitory strike on the Isreali bases. That should have been allowed to happen to teach David you don't smack your Dad, even by mistake without Dad knocking you on your ass but LBJ stopped it. As for the last, Pollard, I'd cut his fucking head off and send it to the Isreali Embasssey in a box.

Re: Secret Wars
Ah, spelling mistakes. The last refuge of a lost argument.
Re: Secret Wars
The only thing that's lost is a few brain cells reading your nonsense. Just because someone pulls some BS out of their ass doesn't mean I'm going to waste my time trying to refute it. There's a reason Jews have been kicked out of every civilized country at one point or another and are universally loathed. Maybe you should look in the mirror and ask yourself why that is. I'll give you a hint: It's not jealousy.Beer Jew wrote:Ah, spelling mistakes. The last refuge of a lost argument.
Re: Secret Wars
Correct. Historically, jews kicked out of countries have been a massive minority. You observe the same thing in school yards, when the bigger kid picks on the smaller kid, because he doesn't have the balls to go and pick on an even bigger kid. It's called bullying.

One of the downsides of the Internet is that it allows like-minded people to form communities, and sometimes those communities are stupid.

Better yet, let's ask Lebanon. Flash back to '06 when a bunch of rocket-toting Lebanese farmers made the Israeli Army cry like a little girl.

Re: Secret Wars
So as you probably heard, Stratfor which is a strategic intelligence consultancy (in the same way Blackwater was a "private security firm") was hacked and the results were transmitted to wikileaks. Wikileaks has begun to disseminate the retrievals and some of it is veeeerrry interesting. Normally this would be all crackpot conspiracy stuff, but all of this was intended to remain highly classified. So remember that "munitions plant explosion" in Iran a couple of months back?
wikileaks release:
http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/02/27/w ... acilities/
Growing concerns over Iran’s nuclear facilities may prove to be all for naught. Officials from the global intelligence company Stratfor allegedly discussed that Israel may have already destroyed the Iranian nuclear facility, according to one of the emails released by Wikileaks Monday.
In one of the over five million emails leaked, the conversation centered on Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak praising the news of deadly munitions blasts at a base of Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards.
“I think this is a diversion. The Israelis already destroyed all the Iranian nuclear infrastructure on the ground weeks ago,” one intelligence official wrote in an email dated November 14, 2011. “The current ‘let’s bomb Iran’ campaign was ordered by the EU leaders to divert the public attention from their at home financial problems. It plays also well for the US since Pakistan, Russia and N. Korea are mentioned in the report. ”
One other Stratfor official allegedly indicated a similar finding.
“Israeli commandos in collaboration with Kurd forces destroyed few underground facilities mainly used for the Iranian defense and nuclear research projects,” he wrote on November 13, 2011. “Even if the Israelis have the capabilities and are ready to attack by air, sea and land, there is no need to attack the nuclear program at this point after the commandos destroyed a significant part of it.”
