Notice that this is not me saying Hamas members are terrorists, I am just stating the fact that officialy any Hamas member in the UE is consided a terrorist, anyone funding them is considered the funder of a terrorist group, you can also be arrested by making Hamas propaganda in the UE.
The poster you have made in Photoshop does not reflect reality, Israel has good relations with the UE and pretty good ones, dream on, but reality stays.

Why do present critics of the Israeli government's campaign always want to create parallels with WW2?
TA
why
21.01.2009 15:05
Because it's easier to just grab something off the shelf than it is to actually try to understand a new situation in its own individuality. Plus using Nazis as an analogy is a particularly nasty way of twisting the knife against Jews, and like it or not there are those whose "anti-Zionism" is a mask for their anti-semitism.
Here's an example: the guy who used to lead the Holocaust denial movement in the US is now saying that he's going to focus on "Jewish-Zionist power" instead.
Not everybody criticizing Israel is an anti-semite, of course. Most of them probably aren't. But some of them definitely are, and they get a special glee out of the essentially anti-semitic statement that the Jews of Israel are just like the Nazis.

Israel may have good relations with the politicians in the EU, they are some of the best that money can buy after all. What you don't seem to comprehend is the groundswell of opinion against the tactics of Israel and how the well worn canards are no longer working. There are a lot of people calling for a boycott, diversity and sanctions campaign to end what is another instance of apartheid in everything but name.
You claim these good relations but ignore the huge number of UN resolutions passed against Israel (there would be many more if it weren't for the protectionism of the US, see ->
@Why, you claim it is only anti-Semites that are comparing Israel to the Nazis. Unfortunately that is just you conflating these positions. Are you telling me you don't see any parallels between Gaza and the Warsaw ghetto? Really? If Israel don't want to be compred to the Nazis then they shouldn't act like them.
I'm sick and tired of hearing about Nazis, whether it is Israel being compared to them or Israel hiding behind their history to try and defend the indefensible. It was 60 years ago and I'm pretty sure the Palestinians weren't involved (most of them probably weren't even alive). I agree with the principle of 'Never Again' but I take it to mean all, races religions, creeds and colours, including Palestinians!

"Jim" exposed as paid propagandist?

... but make a monumental fuckup that gives yourself away by repeatedly referring to the European Union as the "UE"
Call me cynical, maybe "Jim" is just dyslexic, but considering the recent story on here about Israel paying thousands of bloggers to propagandise on the internet, my opinion is:
PWNED and EPIC FAIL!!

You see the thing that Israel don't realise is that if they recruit this army of bloggers it just won't work, their army of bloggers will be like their real army of conscripts and will not be up to international standards. You see they aren't able to do propaganda that is subtle (see your posting for a prime example).
You could get a million people to post all over the internet about how Israel is the victim, that wouldn't make it true. You might get some people to believe it but they won't be the ones that can make a difference, they'll be the ones who wouldn't say or do anything even if they knew the truth.
Boycott, divestment and sanctions. If Israel won't listen to reason then we'll put them on a diet too!

there is no shortage of counts of justification for prolonging pointless nationalistic violence on either side - everyone is up to their eyeballs in justifications.
what they need is our support, to show the demoralised and abused palestinians that we will help them build a state that can speak for them, look after them, and offer them possibilities, and to show the israelis that their treatment of the citizens of gaza is intolerable. we have to speak to our generations in the middle east and from religious communities here in Britain, share our points of view, to open learning dialogues at every possible opportunity faster than vicious ideologues can close them down into simple opposition.
if the hamas rockets are the only thing keeping the flame of palestinian pride alive that would be tragic. there is so much work to be done within gaza even and especially under occupation and blockade. hamas turning from these ineffective rocket attacks to reconstruction work, community support, locating teachers for the children and clearing space for classes in the rubble - that would be an entirely justifiable response on many counts.
