I'm pretty sure that's not how they saw it. Some people in here have suggested it was embarassing for the Germans to have to come out and re-assert their guilt; here it's implied there might have been a smug satisfaction. It's neither. Government officials taking responsibility for the holocaust is just routine, public officials have to do it all the time in Germany. Being rude to Israel diplomatically is, however, still fairly haram in Germany because of the holocaust, and so the German statement was exclusively focused on German culpability and not overly directly on Bibi's remarks.

Most histories of the early 20th century American left, many of which are written by sympathetic figures, make liberal usage of this term. It doesn't really have a negative connotation at all on this side of the pond.

quote:

Israeli border police have issued a shocking threat to Palestinians in Aida refugee camp, saying, "We will gas you until you die," in an apparent response to stone-throwing.

In a one-minute video of the incident recorded on Thursday by a resident of the West Bank camp, an Israeli border officer speaking in Arabic reads the chilling message over a loudspeaker as an Israeli jeep rolls slowly down the street.

"People of Aida refugee camp, we are the occupation forces. You throw stones, and we will hit you with gas until you all die. The children, the youth, the old people - you will all die. We won't leave any of you alive," the unidentified officer says.

Such an announcement is remarkable in its stated contempt for human life, as well as raising a multitude of grave concerns as to the adherence of Israeli forces to central tenets of international law.

Badil Resource Centre for Palestinian Residency and Refugee Rights

"We have arrested one of you. He is with us now. We took him from his home, and we will slaughter and kill him while you watch if you keep throwing stones," the officer continues, referring to a 25-year-old Palestinian who was arrested on Thursday and subsequently released.

"Go home or we will gas you until you die. Your families, your children, everyone - we will kill you."

:stare: There really is no irony, is there.

OK, I know what you're thinking, but the gas did not come from a truck, tank engine or canisters, and was not pumped into an enclosed space. Also there was nobody tracking the gassing on IBM punchcards.

They're probably referring to ridiculous amounts of tear gas, rather than literal gas chambers - "excessive tear gas inhalation" is one of the primary causes of hospital visits following a Palestinian protest that gets a visit from the IDF.

For what it's worth, I think your general stance doesn't merit responses usually but I can't recall a single instance of you bringing up ethnicity in the sense that guy is talking about. Jesus christ is it that hard to go through someone's post history and provide an example?

Most of the phone apps don't have a working post history or "filter posts in thread by user" option. So it is kinda hard, not that it's not more likely all "pro-Israel" posters tend to get beliefs assigned to them, rather than responding to their expressed beliefs.

2020 Israeli PM Declares Holocaust a Palestinian Hoax.

Considering Netanjahu had the gall to say "We have to fight terrorism like Rabin" I wouldn't put it past him.

According to this article about the 20th anniversary of the assassination of Rabin, Rabin did more for peace with the Palestinians then any Israeli-politician before or after him. Back in 1985, the year Rabin was shot, Netanjahu was his fiercest enemy and the only thing he didn't do was pulling the trigger. That was Jigal Amir, who is still in prison now.

So if Netanjahu takes his word seriously, he would have to do a full 180° and we would be back with the two-state-solution and Israel backing an independent Palestine. Though I think the smart bet would be on him just trying to milk an important event in Israel's history for his own gain.

Hey, look, here's something more interesting than your dumb slapfights about what you think of each other's posting styles

http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4718225,00.html

quote:

A Palestinian laborer found a creative way to move around freely in Jerusalem's ultra-Orthodox neighborhoods and avoid harassment following the recent wave of terror: He dressed up as a Hasidic Jew.

Nasser, a maintenance worker at a yeshiva in the Belz neighborhood, asked his Haredi friends to help him avoid racially-motivated attacks by providing him with a prayer shawl and a large black skullcap. He was forced, however, to return to his home in Hebron at his family's request until the situation calmed down.

The Palestinian worker helps worshippers at the synagogue on Minchas Yitzhak Street with cleaning work, renovations and maintenance. On the backdrop of the recent wave of terror, which has been characterized by lone-wolf terrorists, he feared he would be harassed or arrested.

He decided that if he dressed up as a Haredi Jew and disguised his accent, he would be able to able to go on with his work. But the plan was unhelpful.

"The IDF imposed a siege on Palestinian areas, and my family was afraid that I would get hurt and asked me to come home," he said in a phone conversation this week. "I decided to take time off from work. I don’t know if I have a replacement, but I had to return home."

Before he left, his friends documented his disguise as evidence of the atmosphere of fear on the streets among Palestinians workers. According to Nasser, even before he decided to stay home, he was forced to repeatedly deal with roadblocks and delays on his way to work in Jerusalem.

Aside from the obvious, this highlights an oft-overlooked factor: Israeli dependence on low-wage Arab workers. This guy dressed up as a Jew to avoid harassment on his way to his day job of cleaning a synagogue.

Like all people outside the nation of Israel, I seek the annihilation of the religion of Judaism, the ethnicities that have been traditionally associated with Judaism, and the cultural traditions associated with those ethnicities. I plan to do this by believing really hard that Israel does many shitheaded things edit: and also refusing to admit that Arabs are equally bad, as an ethnicity, as the state of Israel is.
