Europe Like That?

---- Europe exonerates itself of crimes against Jews by extolling Palestinians as victims, no matter how viciously they act, and by portraying Israelis as latter-day Nazis, no matter how necessary their self-defense. ----

Logic gets thrown out of the window.

Makes me even wonder whether this is true.

Because from the looks of it:

You have a country who simply want to live in peace.

You have a country who simply minds its own business.

You have a country who doesn't wish the extinction of its neighbors and yet it's neighbors wants its extinction.

Any sensible human being worth their salt should see that.

Are you saying Europe does not see that?

Fact is, without the Israeli military, left to their own devices, the Palestinians would move in for the kill like the Hutu slaugher of Tutsis in the genocide over ethnic hate in Rwanda. Conversely, the Jews wouldn't do such barbaric acts I am sure, in large part because they live in the 21st century.

Israel the Nazis? Come on!

Israeli military action is in response to terrorist attacks they simply want to stop.

It is rather hard for me to believe that Europeans do not see that.

Because what you are effectively saying - which is that Europeans portray Israeli as latter-day Nazis - are that Europeans are devoid of reason, logic and common sense.

Yup, it comes off insulting.

Figure into the one who said the following:

"If someone tries to violently harm my daughters or tries to attack my home," to paraphrase, "I would vigorously and violently defend it" - in response to a terrorist attack on Israel.

Obama said that.

And such simple thing Europeans don't get, you say?

It's the strangest thing.

Tread carefully.
