Germany’s leading Social Democratic Party (SPD) and the opposition Christian Democratic Party (CDU) have ordered high schools in Berlin’s borough of Neukolln to distribute brochures titled The Myth of Israel #1948.
The brochure states there are five “myths” around the creation of the state of Israel, which are subsequently refuted in short essays by various authors.
In the first section, debunking myth #1, that Jews and Arabs lived together in peace before Israel was founded, Israel’s pre-state militia, the Haganah, responsible for the destruction of 531 Palestinian villages and the expulsion of 700,000 Palestinians between December 1947 and the summer of 1948, is promoted as a merely “defensive” Jewish resistance movement.
“Myth #5: Israel is to blame for the Nakba”, includes a text by researcher Shany Mor titled “the UN is distorting the meaning of the Nakba: its view of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is extremely one-sided”.
In the text, Mor states that “displacement during war - then and now - was nothing unusual”.
He also labels the UN’s attention to the Palestinian cause “obsessive” and the Arab defeat of 1948 a myth.
The big parallel that makes israel so comparable to Nazism is that israel has ethnically cleansed all these Palestinians into a giant concentration camp and is systematically murdering them through starvation, mass executions and bombing.
Especially the starvation is just completely inexcusable. Children are currently dying en masse of starvation in Gaza.
Nazism was not just about Jews. It was about Black people, gay people and Gypsies too. Everyone not part of the “majority” group needed to die.
In fact most of the victims of WW2 on the European side were Russians. 20 Million. And we don’t talk about the Germans.
Nazism is currently the most well known example of racial superiority because of bloodline.
I don’t know why you keep telling me this. You keep drawing me into some conversation about how awful it is what’s happening, and I agree. Israel is committing genocide. I never said otherwise. This isn’t about that. I know what is happening. I’m just trying to give the German perspective because it’s nothing like Germans are always supporting genocide or their culture is still full of Nazi shit. It isn’t. Not saying their stance on Israel isn’t wrong, the government still sides with Israel, but please try to be a little informed.
