Trump is the most pro-Israel Zionist you'll find in American politics.This is nonsensical.
Quote from: MyNameIsCharlie on November 15, 2016, 09:49:15 PMPro Israel =/= Pro Jew. His daughter converted to Judaism and he comes just short of bragging about it. Nobody is buying this "Trump is a nazi" meme.QuoteAlso, the Jews have heard similar rhetoric to Trump's before.This is the Serious board.
Pro Israel =/= Pro Jew.
Also, the Jews have heard similar rhetoric to Trump's before.
You're missing the point. Having been on the receiving end of such rhetoric, more than once, Jews are kinda sensitive to the whole ethnic cleansing direction. It's kinda a trigger. There are still living people who know first hand what happens when this door is open. Just because they aren't on the receiving end this particular time means they're cool with it.

But maybe I am incorrect in this assumption. You see, a man a fee decades ago blamed all his country's problems on the Jews. He said they were a drain on society, taking jobs and money from "honest" workers, and that they were a threat. Things didn't end well for them. Not everyone solely acts in their own personal best interests.

Not everyone solely acts in their own personal best interests.Funnily enough, the high school I went to only taught us about "the crusades were bad and you should feel bad, apartheid was bad and you should feel bad, slavery was bad and you should feel bad, colonialism was bad and you should feel bad". We got everything in the white guilt starter pack except for the shoa, but my younger brother who's attending the other high school right now just had an exam on ww2 and the current syrian conflict. So i've never felt compelled to cater to paranoia even if it's coming from one of god's chosen.Perhaps you should be the one to explain to me why I should set aside all standards of discourse whenever something superficially reminds someone of something?
You realize that you are comparing being taught white guilt and an actual genocide. I just want to be clear about this. In your mind 6,000,000 deaths are exactly the same as you being told grandpa did some bad shit and you should feel guilty for it.
You guys still pulling the Hitler meme? You realise this Godwin's Law shit isn't sticking with Trump and his supporters, like at all.

I come from a long line of bumfuck poor Irishmen (my grandfather actually compared living in poverty in Belfast to being like a Jew in Germany), and since we weren't involved in the IRA or either war, we've never done anything to feel guilty over.So tell me, why should I ditch the facts I presented earlier?

I am saying that Trump did use language that was similar to Hitler's. I am saying that when ANYONE uses racially incendiary language in a populist movement, everyone should take note and caution. History tends to repeat itself when people don't take note of the lessons.

Nothing devalues an idea more than crying wolf about it, just look at how impotent Christianity has become in the modern world.
