Reply to Yossi Ben-Aharon : reaction to zionist hatred towards europe

Submitted by Quentin H (Belgium), Aug 10, 2003 at 17:56

Id like to respond shortly to Y. Ben Aharon's statement. The man in all evidence does not know the real situation in europe during the second world war. Resistance in France was strong and well-organized, the french resistance sabotaged many nazi interests. There was collaboration, but coming forth from fear for the overwhelming nazi might. Many zionists have the annoying habit of calling europe anti-semite, probably a remnant from the holocaust. On the other hand they call Europe leftist... They should chose, because socialism surely has NOTHING in common with any form of anti-semitism. Hitler's national-socialism has nothing to do with the socialism of today, which is in fact pure liberalism with a few social elements. A far more ethical concept than the us system, that lacks any form of help for their most poor people. Here people enjoy a minimum saldo each month, money is given back for hospital-visits ...

Of course Europe is spending much more money on social issues than for its military, maybe its dangerous, i agree, but it creates the possibility of a living standard in europe, unequalled throughout the world. And if Europe shows support to the palestinian cause, it has grounds: the real objective of zionism is the colonisation of muslim ground, to expand the jewish state, without any ethical limit. Palestinians deserve an own state. Europeans are ethically more correct, and zionist jews are certainly far from that.
