  • I’m sorry, but why does my comment get deleted, when I criticise Aral Balkan for comparing the Genozide in Gaza with the Holocaust and Israel with Nazi Germany?
    Both those things are just wrong, not just politically but also historically. Regardless of your position in this conflict.
    You might not have to agree with me, that those comparisons are antisemitic, but they are wrong and moreover extremely problematic. And I really don’t mean to say that the Israeli government isn’t a bunch of right-wing racist and there isn’t a horrible humanitarian crisis going in in Gaza.
    But Israel is not Nazi Germany and the Genocide in Gaza is not like the Holocaust. And everybody how is saying that must rightfully be criticized for it.













  • Jewish culture and history, especially Zionism is as diverse as every other culture and people is. Picking the worst doesn’t show the whole picture about Zionism. There is a whole Socialist and even Anarchist tradition of and within Zionism.

    EDIT: I didn’t mean to offend anybody and everybody has a right to criticize Israel. My whole point is that Israel’s history and especially Zionism is obviously not one-sided, but is also rich in liberal and progressive ideas, that are worth to studied.
    If you are interested in Socialist Zionism I recommend the following article as a starting point:
