No pasaran!
I now feel enlightened.
Really? Given the content of your posts, I don't you've ever been enlightened.
Now are you going to continue to derail this thread?
I now feel enlightened.
No GRANDMA, I stated that the given amount in Nin's OP was incorrect and nothing but propaganda. When asked to expalin it, I did, and that should have been the end. Instead, as always, it comes down to how to imagine I am as a person which is kind of sad when you begin to think about it.
Nino: "Roma never suffered during the Holocaust?": Did I say that? It seems bizarre that you would just post that out of nowhere. First off, yes, Roma DID suffer along with Jews and many other demographics in the Camps but Jews suffered the most losses by far. I should also add that more Sinti than Romas suffered and that while the two groups are similar in their origina and practices there ARE differences, and it would seem strange to introduce the subject of the tragedy that befell Travelling People without mentioning the group that lived in Germany, the Sinti.
Grandma: Yes, I know you did not mention Finkelstein but you did mention manipulation of the Holocaust and the main proponenet of that nonsense is Finkelstein whose book was recently published on that very issue. The man is a sad person indeed. People often use the term "Self Hating Jew" much too casually but I see Finkelstein, as much as an armchair analysis is valid, as the epitome of that phrase.
.
So you do admit there are others who manipulate the holocaust to justify the existence of Israel?
He has admitted nothing of the sort. Show, if you can, how you reached that conclusion from the quote you cite.
Answer the question Granny, instead of spamming. For there is nothing in the Rachamim's quote that admits what you say--and you know it. So it seems that you've been caught out again doesn't it?
No Granny, you don't get to just repeat yourself over and over again. That's even worse than your usual 'links, links, links" routine. If you want to stay here you're going to have to discuss the issues like an adult. Otherwise I'm afraid you're going to have to leave.
So you do admit there are others who manipulate the holocaust to justify the existence of Israel?
Now, there was nothing in the quote you cited that could possibly have led you to this conclusion. So I am asking you how you reached it. And I warn you now not to just repeat yourself again--that will only mean more trouble for you.
Stop it Granny. Stop just posting the same thing over and over again. It makes you look like a mad person.
Now, I am trying to have a proper discussion with you. Look: you say that Rachamim has admitted the existence of holocaust manipulation to justify the state of Israel's policies. But no-one else can see where he has admitted this. So why don't you show us where you think he has, and then we can have a discussion about it.
I have to tell you though, that if you just repeat yourself again, people will begin to think you are a bit "touched." So do *not* do it.
Grandma Death said:Anyone else had these? I've had a crippling migraine for nearly 36 hours-its just starting to ease off. I've read some stuff on the net about how seratonin imbalances can cause migraines. Its only my second ever migraine-and both followed a weekend on pills (1st time) and Crystals (2nd time).
I'm sorry Granny, but you are cracking up. Elsewhere you write:
Now you listen to me: it is not a very good idea to come onto this forum and attempt to have a serious debate when you are in this condition. It really isn't. Go away now.
So rach...Finklestein aside (who you acknowledge I didnt even mention) so you do acknowledge there are those who manipulate the holocaust to justify the existence of Israel?
Nino: He is a lwayer.": Rarely, yes. I think his last practicing case was defending Pollard but he IS a professor of law at one of the world's premeire universities. Of course his career is built around arguing, but again, what does that have to do with anything Nino?
"Where in the OP was it incorrect and propaganda?": In that you listed an article that gave an amount that was 5 times higher than the actual amount. Yes Nino, he IS facing calls for his resignation although for the last week and a half there has been hardly a peep (really since Barak made his pronouncement).
"Injured party.": So passe Nino. Let us move on please.
"Fellow Travellers.": What NIno? I do not understand why you would call me a Traveller. I am 100 percent Jewish.
"Will only conceed that Roma and others have suffered in the Holocaust when forced to.": First, who are my "fellow Travellers?" Surely you are not suggesting ALL Jews have one opinion? Or is it only a specific demographic within Jewry that you are aiming for? Please do be more specific. Even your insults are becoming vague Nino.
Fact is, Jews (almost all I have ever known and one could just imagine that THAT number is rather large) are quite cognizant of all groups that suffered. Nor have almost all Jews ever sought to monopolise that suffering but facts are facts. No other group was targetted on such a scale. Hitler's obsession with my People dates (as far as we know but of course it preceeds it) to "Mein Kamph" where he outlines it quite clearly. Does he outline his hate of Roma and Jeh--ah's Witnesses (or any other persecuted group)?
The Nuremburg Laws targetted who Nino? He always held (always so far as dating from M. Kamph) derogatory views towards any "non-Aryan" groups but it was Jews that were his prime obsession and this is sadly a fact. He killed 1/3rd of all Jews on the planet at that time and almost single handedly destroyed Ashkenaz Culture (Yiddish almost became extinct along with its rich culture and now only very religious speak it although there groups like Workmen's Circle doing their best to change that).
"The Holcaust has been consripted and hijacked (aic) to serve Israel's cause.": Interesting that you would say that being that it is a minstay of Neo-Nazis and otherwise hateful people (such as Ahmadinejad et al). The fact is that it has not. Is Israel being manipulative if it states that its own existence will prevent another such event from ever destroying Jewry? It is being factual. Israel is a refuge for any Jew wishing to exercise that option and has saved more than a few Jewish demographics from horrible fates SINCE the Holocaust ended (Albanian Jewry, Kosovar Jewry, Azeri Jewry, Ethiopian Jewry among many other groups).
"Fellow Travellers.": What NIno? I do not understand why you would call me a Traveller. I am 100 percent Jewish.
There was nothing in his post to suggest that. And don't take so much MDMA that your head explodes and then come on here to try to argue with adults ever again.
So rach...Finklestein aside (who you acknowledge I didnt even mention) so you do acknowledge there are those who manipulate the holocaust to justify the existence of Israel?
It's about time this canard was finally nailed too.
Fact is, Jews (almost all I have ever known and one could just imagine that THAT number is rather large) are quite cognizant of all groups that suffered. Nor have almost all Jews ever sought to monopolise that suffering but facts are facts. No other group was targetted on such a scale. Hitler's obsession with my People dates (as far as we know but of course it preceeds it) to "Mein Kamph" where he outlines it quite clearly.

Phil: Yes, he WAS obsessed with the Communists but would he have ever signed a non-agression pact with the Jews? No, Russsians were beneath him period, Communism so far down you could not see them, and yet they stood very tall over the Jews in the minds of the ubermenschen.
While he did incarcerate a small number, comparatively, he did not run trainloads full of Commies to the ovens so I still find difference with that. It would be interesting to explore what he might have done with the Communists had he emerged victorious at the end.
Gradnma: Yes, as with any group there going to be fringe characters who try and manipulate anything under the sun to achieve their aims. Personally, I have never met or known of a single person doing that but the law of averages would suggest is a real possibility. Do you know of people doing this?
Rabbi Friedman told BBC Radio 4's PM programme that he was not in Tehran to debate whether the Holocaust happened or not, but to look at its lessons.
He says the Holocaust was being used to legitimise the suffering of other peoples and he wanted to break what he called a taboo on discussing it.
The main thing, he argued, was not Jewish suffering in the past but the use of the Holocaust as a "tool of commercial, military and media power".
And although the Jewish people's destitute past does not tally with its powerful present, the Holocaust is still held up as the primary justification for Israel's existence. However, while it may be understandable, reference to the Holocaust to support Israel's existence is in practice outdated, inadequate and counterproductive. What's more, it is unnecessary.
But the Holocaust is not just a one-time tool that Israel used to tweak the conscience of the world before the fateful vote. It is the tool that the State of Israel uses until this very day to justify its existence. Just like a beggar who displays his open wounds to drum up business, Israel coerces every VIP who visits here to run directly from the airport to the horrors of the Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem.
