You do know those camps in the pics are most likely not in Israel, correct? Are you also aware of Pallywood? That's the 'Hollywood' of the Palestinians, where they stage attacks against each other and mutilate bodies, in order to blame Israel.

I looked, and looked, and looked, but I could find no third row of photgraphs that show all the dead Israelis killed since their founding.
No photographs of Syrian and Egyptian tanks, all lined up to vanquish Israel.
Nor any photographs of the 100,000 man strong Egyptian Army lined up to wipe Israel out.
Or of the results of the Syrian guns firing on the Israeli farmers below. Did anyone catch that one?
No photographs of kidnappings of Israeli citizens by their neighbors and then murdered.
I didn't even see any photgraphs of a coffee shop blown to hell, with the shattered glass and blood spatter from innocent Israeli citizens killed just going about their business.
In fact, I didn't see any photos of the blood in the streets from where buses were blown to bits as were the Israelis inside.
I did see a wall keeping people IN, and I assume some point was being made by showing a wall to keep terrorists, suicide bombers, kidnappers, and such OUT.
Was that suppose to be equated somehow?
It's probably my computer, but that third row just didn't show up.
Damned shame.
Could have been VERY enlightening.

Israel is by far the most racist country on the planet today. Which I suppose would be natural for a country created artificially and filled with people of one single race/religion, especially with the surrounding circumstances. Such an angry country.
I agree: Israel is today's equivalent of Nazi Germany. Along with the US, and UK and Australia are at least about the equivalent of fascist Italy if not worse. We are all a very oppressive and militaristic lot of countries, and if we get into war with Russia, China, Iran, etc., I honestly hope THEY win. Just to overthrow the leaders I despise so much in the US and abroad.

Your response reads like you are eager to debunk me with facts, but unable to produce any relevant ones. The sarcasm at the end of your post was the most relevant thing you said in response to me, and of course that only reflects your own personal opinion.
If you'll entertain me, I'm going to guess that you "support" Israel. May I ask why? What makes them unique, special amongst all other countries on the face of the Earth, that they receive special treatment, are basically allowed to murder people without consequence as to your opinion of them?

I'm not really into debunking, because certain people have such biased minds that they are incapable of considering other sides to an issue. The links I presented show that your earlier comments are not true.
I simply gave links to data which contradict your claims that:
1) Israel has one religion/race
2) That US, UK and Australia are racist countries when immigration levels show they are all in the top bracket when accepting people from other countries/cultures/ethnicities.
Now you are trying to label me as an "Israel supporter"
The problem is that people like you only want to look at history from when Israel was the aggressor. You do not care about why Israel has such tight security and why they have to have checkpoints everywhere and why such little trust is placed on all Palestinians as a result. I do agree that they have responded disproportionately (such as cutting off supplies to electricity and hot water), but they have all these restrictions for a reason.
Is it just coincidence that most people who criticise Israel on these forums don't even know what the 2nd Intifada was? I think not...

Ah, so that's what that's about. Well, you know, I didn't literally mean every single citizen of the country of Israel was Jewish. So a lot of good posting all of those stats did; nothing I wasn't already aware of.
I didn't say they were racist countries, which you couldn't debunk with stats anyway silly. I said US, UK, and Australia, and Israel, are the equivalent of the Axis powers today. Look at the US, for example, compared to Germany in the 1930's/1940's. Germany was the country "pre-emptively" attacking Poland, etc., for various reasons under the guise of "Homeland Security." Gee, already things are looking really damned familiar. The US has invaded and totally screwed up 2 countries' infrastructures so far, and I'm not even going to talk about "Homeland Security" or "national security."
I asked you if you were, I didn't 'try to label.' You went off the hinge with this one. And you never did answer my question btw.
Ah, ok, so you are an Israeli supporter. You say they have responded "disproportionately"; what exactly does that mean?
No, it's not a coincidence. I don't have a list of talking points trying to justify what Israel is doing. I don't need one. There is your difference

You seemed rather unaware that the country has a variety of cultures, ethnicities, religions and races. Glad I could educate you on this.
I thought this thread was about comparing the two situations - Germany's treatment of Jews and other minorities, and Israel's current treatment of Palestinians. What does US's military endeavours have to do with Israel's treatment of Palestinians?
I gain neither by defending Israel or defending Palestinians.

If it helps you sleep better at night then believe what you want to believe. By disproportionate, I mean that the IDF has responded to provocation by Palestinian militants more harshly than was needed on occasions. But why have their responses been so harsh and unwavering since events of the 2nd Intifada? Has it ALWAYS been in their nature to be so restrictive and controlling?
Like I said, the measures taken by Israel are disproportionate and harsh, but they are done so for the security of Israel

I just wanted to let you know that I don't mind making someone like you sick, mmiichael. From the attitude you always have I think you must love being miserable.
