In reply to the discussion: This is not a "war", it is a pogrom in a ghetto, the Gaza ghetto is like the Warsaw ghetto. [View all]nadinbrzezinski
(154,021 posts)189. Nope, it is what it is
A reason why Jews are starting to flee France, because wearing a kipah is dangerous and can get you killed. Why a merchant in Belgium said dogs were ok, but Jews not so much. These comparisons to nazi Germany and South Africa are exactly antisemitism disguised as anti Israeli.
I wonder how long until "Jews to the Gas Chambers" and "Death to the Jews" or "Hitler was right" will happen regularly on American streets. Please proceed Fred. It is what it is. You are helping to get those flames going. And where do you think Jews will go? French Jews are taking one way trips to Ben Gurion out of well founded fear
How long until American Jews do likewise? Own it...
