(85 posts)That made outrageous comparisons of Obama to Hitler. You can just google it any time you wish. The list is long, and comprehensive, as well as unbelievably offensive.
When I watched Shindlers list, I was understandably sickened that a group of people could actually disconnect their own humanity(?) in such an abhorrent way to justify genocide. Perhaps that was not the message I was supposed to receive. I was, and still am forever deeply disgusted with racial hatred, and how easy it becomes to make that disconnection from victims, to less than humans.
I would not go so far as to say that the official Israeli position on palistinians is borne out of racial hatred....but, and this saddens me to admit, there are those in positions of power within Israel, particularily on the far right that do express terms whose roots originate out of racial hatred and intolerance. There is no question that this phenomenon exists within the palistinian sphere as well. Hatred breeds hatred, and becomes a generational burden.
