Seriously people, what the hell is going on? Second attack this month.

No I don't approve of what is happening in Gaza either, and the actions of the Israeli government and their defence force in no way, justify these attacks anywhere. A decent number of the Jewish community here stood by the Palestinian community here, and said "not in my name".

Benjamin Netanyahu can pull his head in.

People have a right to freedom of religion in this country. Also a freedom to free themselves of religion in their lives. This is a personal choice, and no one, should be persecuted for the choice they make.

@Vanstra @auschwitzmuseum

I’m not generalizing, I’m stating fact. I have not (and will never) stated in any way anything that qualifies as antisemitism.

Others might indeed *feel* otherwise when reading my post, which is exactly why I am clarifying myself explicitly. Those feelings are something to *think* about, they are just not correct.

I have already explained why I mentioned the museum: there is (and yes, this is my opinion) an analogy to be made between the people that where murdered in Nazi Germany between 1940 and 1945 and those being murdered right now in #Syria #Ukraina and #Gaza and one of the most important reasons the @auschwitzmuseum exists is to not let history repeat itself. Yet it happens!

The killing should stop, now. If you qualify my reasoning as #antisemism you are unjustly and unfairly providing a reason to dismiss my reasoning as false, and history will continue to repeat itself.

"Thus at the root of the Ur- #fascist psychology there is the obsession with a plot, possibly an international one. The followers must feel beseiged. The easiest way to solve the plot is the appeal to #xenophobia . But the plot must also come from the inside: #jews are usually the best target..."

I had always meant to read that but never got around to it. Maybe it's just more topical now.
