Former Pink Floyd frontman sparks fury by comparing Israel to 40's Germany

[url=http://tinyurl.com/ou4w7ul]Roger Waters compares Israel to 40's Germany and is immediately called an antisemite by dozens of religious leaders, none of whom address his complaints about Israel's brutal treatment of the Palestinians. [/url] It's like they don't even realize that by equating criticism of Israel with criticism with Judaism, they are effectively making those atrocities part of Judaism. They [i]don't have to[/i] defend Israel to be Jews. What are your thoughts on religion and state being combined? I tend to think that it undermines both. edit: lol, had to tinyurl the URL.

  • [quote]Israel sends humanitarian relief to the devastated Philippines while it actively devastates Gaza, nevertheless Michael Burd congratulates the Israeli government (Echo, November 26). This is yet another example of Israel's vast propaganda machine which is so good that South Africa's apartheid regime used it to airbrush its image in exchange for helping Israel's nuclear bomb ambitions. If anywhere on the planet needs urgent humanitarian help it is Gaza. Unlike the Philippines, there is no international aid effort but even those who attempt to bring medical, clothing and other essential supplies like the Gaza Freedom Flotilla in 2010, have been attacked and killed by Israel. Karl Schembri, who spoke at the last Byron Writers' Festival, wrote from Gaza on November 20 that after eight days of air, sea and artillery bombardment the Shifa Hospital had to contend with "hundreds of women, elderly people and children being rushed with severe amputations and serious injuries while doctors were running out of anaesthetic, medical supplies and fuel to keep the generators going. Everyone was asking how long this would go on as supplies were running out". No-one sane would claim that the Phillipines deserved the typhoon's destruction but according to Israel's Deputy Foreign Minister, Danny Ayalom, Gaza deserved Israel's man-made devastation even though 91 of the 136 Palestinians killed were civilians, including 28 children and 13 women, and 922 of the 941 wounded were civilians, including 258 children (Palestinian Centre for Human Rights).[/quote]

    *Sigh* They could try something other than screaming ANTI-SEMITE! YOU HATE ALL TEH JEWS AND DENY THE HOLOCAUST! every time someone criticizes Israel for being a full blown dick to palestine.
