Major religion’s total followers in the world are:
Christian: 2.6 billion (with b.)
Muslims: 1.6 billion
Jews : 13 million only.
6 million Jews live in Israel and rest of the 7 million are spread around the world especially in U.S, Canada and European countries.
Yet Israel/Jews control the foreign policies of U.S. Canada, Germany, Britain and some other European countries. Our current Prime Minister Harper is a lapdog for Benjamin Netanyahu and Obama does not dare to do anything which may look against Israel. Previous presidents of U.S. were the same way. Obama is also fighting for the approval of Congress of the agreement reached with Iran which will stop Iran from producing atomic bombs.
The real hypocrisy is that according to the former President Jimmy Carter Israel has over 200 nuclear warheads or nuclear bombs but if any other country in the Middle East gives the impression that they are going to get nuclear arsenal the hell breaks loose. I am baffled by this. I believe that no country in the world should have nuclear arsenal. Russia has so many nukes that it can destroy life on the planet earth many times over. Same goes for the U.S.
Also Israel continues to butcher Palestinians in Gaza, West Bank and Lebanon. Yet no leader in North America, Germany and Britain say a beep. Only statement you hear is that Israel has the right to defend itself. Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians has been labelled by Bishop Tutu of South Africa as apartheid and only worse than the one existed in South Africa. A Jewish MP of Britain, who is a great supporter of Israel said that what Israel is doing to Palestinians is genocide. You may watch the video about Jewish British MP Gerald Kaufman' statement: here.
Invasion of Iraq in 2003 caused turmoil in many Muslim countries. Canada, U.S. and some other NATO countries are bombing Iraq and Syria ‘to save the civilians’?. Why there is so much hypocrisy? I am totally baffled. Recommend this post
It''s called building an American Empire, with the aid of NATO countries and Israel.It's been going on since before the second world war, but accelerating after the second world war and full speed ahead with the fall of the Soviet Union.
ReplyDeleteHave you seen the price an NdP candidate has had to pay for being critical of Israel, LD?

I saw that Lorne. What the heck is the opposition afraid of. This guy told the truth about Israel .Mulcair seems to have thrown him under the bus. What's with the hands off criticizing Israel that almost everyone follows?
ReplyDeleteSome nice outright anti-Jewish writing there, you progressive, you: "...Israel/Jews control the foreign policies of U.S. Canada, Germany, Britain and some other European countries." And there are only a few million! How do they do it? Learn the view from the other side and watch your easy condemnation dissolve into a puddle of uncertainty. But you don't want uncertainty, do you? Too hard to deal with. Much simpler to be anti-Jew. Well done.
ReplyDeleteMichael. you conflate criticism of Israel with anti-Semitism. The two are not the same.
ReplyDeleteNot for a moment. What you wrote was anti-Semitism. I know criticism of Israel when I see it (or utter it), and I know the difference. Just look back at your own words - it's there in black and white. You expressed typical anti-Jewish views that could have come from any garden variety racist. Too bad. I'm sure I'd agree with you on many other matters.
ReplyDeletePamela and Lorne, thank you for your comments. My computer crashed yesterday and I could not post or respond to your comments. I agree with your point of view.
ReplyDeleteMichael, I agree with Lorne as you totally misunderstood. There is no anti-Semitism here. Did you check the Jewish British MP Gerald Kaufman's statement here?. He is a staunch supporter of Israel but he says Israel is acting like Nazis in Gaza. Would you call him ant-Semitic?
ReplyDeleteYes, I would call him anti-Semitic, or at least a contributor to anti-Semitic discourse. As unfair, cruel and even racist the treatment of Palestinians may sometimes be in Israel, and whatever one think of the situation, the Nazi analogy is utterly insane, completely and totally out of touch with reality. Do you know what Nazis did?? Do you know that they systematically murdered millions and millions of people? Where is the analogy? As soon as you start off a piece with "there are ONLY 13,000 Jews in the world" and then continue with, "Yet Israel/Jews control the foreign policies of U.S. Canada, Germany, Britain and some other European countries", you've done it - you've stepped over the brink into anti-Judaism. Yes, Jews control the world. Where have I heard that before? Sick. And so sad that you can't even see it.
ReplyDeleteMichael, I don't agree with you but you have the right to hold those kinds of views.
ReplyDeleteMichael, I have posted a video regarding former President Jimmy Carter's views on Israel. I have also posted a video pertaining to the Jewish British MP Gerald Kaufman's views on Israel. Anyone who criticises Israel's treatment of Palestinians should not be labelled as anti-semantic.
