102. Oh, Israel is similar to many repressive regimes.
They all have their similarities with having a perceived sub-group they can abuse and scapegoat, IMHO.
The 19th century Americans had the First Nations, African Slaves, Chinese, Irish, Italians...etc.
The British had the Scotts and Irish.
The French had the Vietnamese.
The Russians had their serfs.
The Germans had everybody.
The Khmer Rouge had the educated.
The Israelis have the Palestinians.

Once again, since you don't want to play fair, but play the victim. I was paraphrasing Naomi Wolf.

She did write holocaust: which was the final solution, dear. As I said I was paraphrasing.
