For anyone interested, there are multitudes of videos on YouTube showing commie blocks and why they are bad, so don't feel bad for focusing on work.

Anyone interested can find the information with an easy search.

Yes, there has been. Neonazi propaganda is bad, but so is Zionist propaganda

The transatlantic slave trade put 12 million people on ships from Africa to the Americas. 2 million died and 10 million lived awful lives no better than that of the Jews in concentration camps.

Once you add their descendents (we don't know the total number) we have 10s to 100s of millions of people living in work camps for 20 generations spanning 350 years.

Never has there been any compensation paid to descendants of slavery. Even today, there is still compensation paid to descendants of Holocaust victims, and the time difference between the end of slavery and the Holocaust is less than that between the Holocaust and today.

And it's not just this one. Germany more or less ignores the genocide it committed in Namibia.

Even when it comes to WW2, the focus is always on the 6 million Jews and not the 20 million Slavs. Even though Slavs are a more homogeneous ethnic group than Jews. It was just inconvenient during the cold war to see the USSR and its citizens as a victim worthy of compensation.

And then finally, this live streamed genocide in Gaza. Which in some respects is worse than the Holocaust, even if the absolute number is lower.

My grandparents were resistance fighters in WW2. They knew Jews were being picked up and sent to camps, and they saved a few from that fate, but they didn't know the truth about Auschwitz until after the war. The images were not publicly available in occupied Europe. They were shocked. And the same is true for most Germans. The Nazi's never had popular democratic support for the war and genocide.

But in Gaza, we can all see it. It is being denied, while being live streamed. The Israeli's, Americans and the Germans can see the starving kids in Gaza and still provide popular democratic support to its continuation.

The Germans of WW2 never reached that level of moral depravity, only a few Nazi's did.

Indeed. There is a hierarchy.

Commie blocks are better than tents.

But proper social housing is better than commie blocks.

And proper social housing mixed with middle class owner-occupied housing in the same neighborhoods and even within the same buildings is the best.

Your first point just proves that Trump has control over Netanyahu, while Netanyahu had power over Biden/Harris.

I'm not denying that Trump is pro-Israel and has financial interests.

But where Biden was cucked by Netanyahu, Trump definitely has the upper hand over Netanyahu.

That's what I mean by beholden. Who has the power over who.

Literally Auschwitz. The pictures are the same.

It also shows, they want the hostages dead. No way the hostages survive if Hamas starves to death.

You are not familiar with Judaism. They aren't allowed to kill Jews. That's what the commandment means to them and has always meant to them. The second of the ten commandments is about loving your neighbor and to Jews that historically means other Jews and therefore the other commandments following it also only apply to other Jews.

But to be fair, Islam has the same issue of discriminating against unbelievers. At the time of Muhammad, only Jews, Christians and Sabians were tolerated. Others had to convert or be killed.

And to be even more fair, there are orthodox branches of Judaism that are pacifist and therefore definitely don't go out to kill. I really admire Yaakov Shapiro, who is fiercely anti-Zionist and pacifist.

Of the three Abrahamic religions, Christianity is the only one that doesn't allow killing of any humans.

Jesus specifically took the commandments and gave the parable of the Good Samaritan. Samaritans were the Palestinians of his time, descendents of non-exiled Israelites and Judeans. The Jews who came back from Babylon didn't recognize them as Jews and discriminated and oppressed them.

So Jesus gave that parable to make it clear that even Samaritans were neighbours, not just Jews.

Of course, later Christianity became the Roman religion and evolved to become the most violent of the three Abrahamic religions, but Christians have always needed to justify their wars as "just wars" in "self-defense" or "to protect the innocent" and Christian leaders are masters in lying and deceit. Even in modern times, Bush needed to lie about WMD to get support for the Iraq war.

So I don't want to say Christians are less violent - history shows the opposite. Only that Christianity is pacifist in its original form.

Then explain how Trump got the ceasefire deal that Biden couldn't get?

It's quite likely Democrats would have won the election with a ceasefire in place and that's why Biden tried his best to get it before the summer. He used the UN and put pressure on Netanyahu by withholding some weapons, but his AIPAC leash was too tight and Netanyahu and the Republicans humiliated him in front of the world multiple times, so he had to give up.

Trump doesn't give a shit about Palestinians. But he isn't as controlled by AIPAC as Biden was. He has Elon Musk and his own cult. He can tell Netanyahu to eat rocks without losing his power base.

For one, we already give it away. The biggest customers of ASML are not European as it is.

Second, it will bring in billions for the European economy and it will allow ASML to better hold its leading position in the long-term, since China won't need to compete with ASML. That's beneficial for the European economy

Third, how does it hurt us?

Progressive politics has been infiltrated by Zionist lobbyists from the Harry Truman days. Much more so than Republicans.

LBJ was a democrat who accepted the USS Liberty, while Reagan was the one who actually stopped the carnage in Lebanon, calling it a Holocaust.

Believe it or not, but Trump is actually less beholden to Israel than Biden. Trump and Republicans are actually more beholden to Saudi-Arabia, which is why MBS could quite easily get them to stop the Gaza genocide.

As to why, it's mostly due to the Holocaust narrative and the idea that Palestine was empty and Jews needed a homeland.

Younger progressives know better, but this propaganda was immensely effective in the past among liberals and progressives.

Today, it's mostly money and the influence they have in the party through people like Schumer, Blinken, etc.

Look how AIPAC recently primaried Cori Bush, Jamaal Bowman. And a few years ago they also primaried a progressive Jewish (!) congressman who was critical of the apartheid.

If the USA is gonna be a prick, then I propose we give Russia and China EUV technology in exchange for peace in Ukraine.

MAGAts in Montana just love Mercury poisoning. They fully endorse Trump's actions. So I think the goal is primarily to get them their Mercury fix.

Yep, don't know how this comment ended up here. It was about Japanese tech regulations in an English community.
