This would be appropriate reparations for the Holocaust, would give Palestinians back their land, and would provide a Jewish state that would be safe (right?) amidst European countries who are not anti-Semitic (right?).

So what do you think Germany, the EU, and the USA will say?

    You see it in a lot of Europe. The working class poor people who used to be left have been won over by racist propoganda.

      In short: Westerners aren’t helpless innocents whose minds are injected with atrocity propaganda, science fiction-style; they’re generally smug bourgeois proletarians who intelligently seek out as much racist propaganda as they can get their hands on. This is because it fundamentally makes them feel better about who they are and how they live.

      Westerners are willingly complicit in crimes because they instinctively and correctly understand that they benefit as a class (as a global bourgeois proletariat) from the exploitation enabled by their military and their propaganda

      We’re not as stupid as we’re made out to be. This means that we can be reasoned with, that there is a way out.

      Remember this, kids...

        Yup, you tell the average American that their military is in the middle east for oil, if they acknowledge that fact, their response is usually going to be: good I want my gas to be cheap.

          I'd say there are significant groups who will answer all of the below:

          1. Yes, and that's good because I want cheap gas.
          2. No, we're really the good guys!
          3. Yes, and I oppose this old war- oh wait there's a new war? Fuck it turn up the Toby Keith
          4. Yes, and I oppose this old war, and I see the echoes of us going down the same road with this new war but I'm hesitant to oppose it (because there's nonstop propaganda calling me a Nazi if I do).
