Re: "Anti-Americanism is hypocrisy at its finest.
It's simplism at its commonest... As I once put it, the problem isn't so much about "Americans" as about American POWER:

Re: You can spend your evening catching the latest episode of '24' and then complain about Guantanamo the next morning. You can claim that the Americans have themselves to blame for terrorism, while at the same time calling for tougher restrictions on Muslim immigration to Germany. You can call the American president a mass murderer and book a flight to New York the next day. You can lament the average American's supposed lack of culture and savvy and meanwhile send off for the documents for the Green Card lottery.
An all too correct gibe... insofar as white people are concerned. For instance, Dr Tariq Ramadan, a French-speaking Muslim scholar, known worldwide for his Muslim activism, was denied a US visa to lecture to an academic audience... Former French Minister Azouz Begag (he resigned yesterday to assist François Bayrou in the current presidential campaign), of Algerian extraction, was arrested last year by US customs who couldn't believe a French minister could be Arab!
As I explained on other SI forums, the US, as a white-ruled, if multiracial, monoculture, feels besieged by nonwhite cultures, particularly the Hispanic culture of an ever more massive immigration from Latin America... Then again, not ALL of the 300+ million US citizens feel that way --only the 200+ million constituency of WAJPs (ie White Anglo Judeo-Protestants) and first among them the so-called Judeo-Protestant Brahmins, that is, the Huntingtons, V.D. Hansons and their fellow western supremacism mouthpieces.... I don't think that nonwhite America feels as jittery as you about "darkies and Muslims taking over"(*).
Likewise, Europe, as a multicultural white monolith, feels overwhelmed with nonwhite immigrants. US Judeo-Protestant elites have perfectly understood that and, cunningly, have played on Europe's fears, fanning Europe's flames of xenophobia, hailing lily-white Eastern Europe as the "New Europe", loathing multiracial Western Europe as (race-traitorous) "Old Europe"....
Re: ...President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad talks about a world without Israel while dreaming of an atom bomb, it seems obvious that we -- as Germans of all people -- should be putting two and two together. Why shouldn't Ahmadinejad mean what he says?
And what's wrong with Iran calling for wiping Israel off the map?!? Personally, I'm of the opinion that Jews --all of the 15 millions of them-- do have the right to exist and live peacefully wherever they happen to be. Russian Jews have the right to live and thrive in Russia, not to spoil the lives of weaker and hapless Palestinians. Likewise, western Jews from France, the US, Britain, Switzerland, Brazil, etc, have the right to make it at home --there is no shortage of banks, medias and other businesses eager to hire them, is there? So, what's that "Alyia" fantasy all about??!? Couldn't the Jews make their alyia trip to Wall Street instead of Tel Aviv --and spare us the troubles and the bloodshed in the Middle East?
By the way, did you know that I live in a somewhat special country? I live in Belgium, the so-called heart of Europe! And, like everywhere in Europe, the staunchest supporters and advocates of Israel are to be found on the far right. Yet another irony, isn't it? The heirs of Nazism and Fascism have, of late, turned into Israel's best friends(**). However, in Belgium, it takes a rather peculiar twist because the country's main far-right party, the Vlaams Belang, calls, at the same time, for the liquidation of Belgium! Isn't that funny? I mean, here we've got Flemish Judeofascists who vow to defend Israel's right to exist, who were eager to send Flemish troops in Iraq and everywhere else for the sake of Israel but, in the same breath, deny Belgium, a peaceful, harmless, little country the very same right to exist!!?! Go figure, huh!
Tell me, longnshort, who's gonna stand up for Belgium the same way they stand up for Israel?
