I'm still no clearer as to what the purpose of this picture comparison was ? Of course I can use my imagination but that is to speculate on Richard B's purpose : I'm more interested in what his real original purpose for making these comparisons was.
Copperline . In a lot of respects your point re; using your imagination is a good starter point for a debate and I would have expected this.
I am a supporter of the Palestinian right to a free homeland with Jerusulum as its capital and I absolutely disagree with the tactics used by the Israelis against the general Palestinian population,
All we hear in the western press is 'Hamas this and Hamas that'
and the great palestinian terrorist threat to Israel what we dont read or hear about is the terror inflicted on the Palestinian population by the Israeli terrorists
The pictures represent a parallel with the holocaust of the early 40s commited against the Jews (and it should be remembered that this was not just commited by the Nazis- most countries in Europe had their share of persons only too eager to jump on the anti Jewish bandwagon) and the holocaust being practised by the Israelis today NOW probably this minute,
The difference is when the true plight of the Jews was discovered after the end of WW2 the world wept and rightly so.
How can a nation which had such cruel crimes commited against themselves not so long ago now do the same against a homeless nation.
Israel and their supporters should hang their heads in shame.
To conclude I posted the pictures because I cannot write so eloquently as most of the members of this forum so I suppose that the publishing of these pictures was my way of saying 'Hey look at this ,this is wrong'.
Richard , I do not wish to be rude but I'm afraid your comparison is similar to a bicycle which carries one or two people and a Jumbo Jet!
How on earth do you arrive at the juncture where you draw parallels with what the Palestinians are going through which is deplorable - the major culprit is their leadership going back to money grabbing , thoroughly corrupt Arafat to the present day perpetrators , Hamas and Hezbollah , remembering of course that these two useless terrorist organizations are responsible for Israels recent incursion into Gaza .
The Israelis that you are comparing to the German Nazis are fighting for their very existence , they have every right to do all that they can to stop rockets landing on its cities.
Did the Germans suffer attacks by Jews , were the Germans hated by the Jews in a comparable way that Hamas hates the Jews ?
There is no comparison what so ever .6 million Jews were systematically murdered by the Nazis , men women and children in a premeditated well organized campaign to eradicate the Jews from the face of the world. Is Israel out to annihilate the Palestinians now OR IS ISRAEL TRYING TO SURVIVE IN A VERY HOSTILE REGION .
Israel , the only democracy in the M.E , DEMOCRACY THAT ALLOWS ITS CITICENS THE FREEDOM OF CHOICE AND SPEECH WHICH NONE OF THEIR ENEMIES EMPLOY.
No one can possibly rejoice at the killing of innocents , an act that is deplorable and a crime against humanity.
Just look at at how redicolus your comments are , you say "How can a nation which had such cruel crimes commited against themselves not so long ago now do the same against a homeless nation. ""
NOW DO THE SAME ?? Load unarmed Palestinians on to thrucks and take them to their final destination , the gas chambers >?? Are you serious mate there is a comparison here , I suggest that you rethink your sentiments based on realities and facts not blind hatred for the Jews.
ps. Would you like to know how many rockets were launched at Israel by Hamas and Hezbolah since the end of this recent conflict ? Well I will tell you and see if your decrepit comparison has any meaning.
