Russian “oppression” is not the same thing as mass killing targeting an ethnic group. Russia has deported certain groups and but not mass murdered them. Also Russia is awful to everyone includes Russians who were serfs/slaves. Same with China’s treatment - re-educating Uyghurs is awful but they aren’t slaughtering them en masse. Please be more specific about “South America.” What ethnic group was singled out for extermination by the Zulu empire? What are you even talking about. Yes, lots of governments are brutal and awful. No, no cohesive national group has been so consistently persecuted as the Jews. |
Zionism was founded in order to save Jews from Russian pogroms. If the Russian pogroms weren't that bad then well whoops to your argument. |
Don’t be ridiculous. Your argument was about all the supposedly equally oppressed ethnic minorities OTHER THAN JEWS. |
Reading comprehension fail. Jews are special. Get over it. |
A terrorist organization attacked Israel. The vast majority of people Israel has murdered were innocent of that crime. The goal is ethnic cleansing. Denying that this is a genocide in process ignores what you can plainly see with your eyes, and what many Israeli officials have stated outright. |
No. They aren't. You're no different than a skinhead screeching about white power. You sound stupid. |
If the argument is that Jews are so super special because they've been historically persecuted, shouldn't the same argument hold for the Palestinians? Maybe all you special people should get over your bullshit and stop killing each other. |
Of course. Russia does it to everybody and it's not that bad. So by that logic... |
The only pogroms in Russia you cited were against Jews. Russia sucks period. But Jews have been specially targeted. The Pale of Settlement was for Jews. |
You sound historically ignorant and incapable of taking account of the context behind Israel’s existence. |
Um no. That's an open call for genocide and glorification of terrorists (according to Israel). It's actually the most evil thing said by anyone on any of these threads. Why are you defending them? |
Well yes, but you claimed that Russia does it to everyone and that what they do isn't that bad. |
Before 1948, were the Palestinians persecuted? |
I did not claim that. I was responding the claims about treatment of “all ethnics minorities.” I said it’s bad to minorities, yes. That’s not the same thing as saying they were as bad as they were to Jews. |
As a matter of fact, most pogroms happened in present day Ukraine. |
