"Emile--- "Openly fascist"? Because Jews decided that they wanted to regain their historic homeland and establish a state for themselves in the face of monstrous oppression culminating in the Holocaust? "Racist"?" Are you justifying Israeli Ethnic cleansing and racism by pointing to the fact that the Germans persecuted the Jews during WWII? Is fascism and Ethnic cleansing against the Palestinian Christians and Moslems okay since some Jews were persecuted in Germany fifty years ago? The Ethnic cleansing against the Palestinians is real and cannot be justified. You speak of Jew's "Historic homeland"? Ethiopians Jews are black, Russian Jews are Khazars converted to Judaism in the eighth century, European Jews are mostly blue eyed blonds, and semitic Jews from the Middle East are indistinguishable from Arabs. Jews are not a race but mixture of every race in the world. Their homelands are scattered all over the world. The ancestors of these Jews never set foot in ancient Israel. What homeland are they reclaiming? Zionism is built upon myths and fables to justify their expulsion (the Ethnic cleansing) and brutality towards the Palestinain people. From the beginning, Zionism planned to expel the indigenous Palestinian to make room for the foreign Jews from around the world. Israel is a bona fide case of Ethnic cleansing and the American taxpayers are footing the bill for this brutality.

Just skulking around... I stumbled on your message: Even though the state has rescued Jewish communities from around the world, including the Ethiopian Jews? I'm afraid this was just diplomatic window-dressing... Do you know how these Falashas (Ethiopian Jews) live in Israel? They're denied access to some schools because, according to some rabbis, they're not genuine Jews!! That's the problem of Israel: it's an over-ethnic, over-biggot, close-minded country as far as dealing with non-Jewish people is concerned. Beside the Falashas, you've got also Arab Israelis but they are second-class/lower-grade citizens... I know that part of the reason is that Israel's still a country at war with several of its neighbours (Syria, Iraq, e.g.). Yet, on the eve of the XXIst century, is a country such as Israel a civilisation showcase for the world? A country based on ethnicity, on a backward jus sanguinis packaged in religious rhetorics? And how about these jingo Haredim, ultra-orthodox Jews who look to do to Palestinians what Milosevic's doing with the Kosovars? And don't tell me they're just a bunch of fanatics on the loose! These religious fanatics have been appointed to some key positions in Nethanyahu's administration... Much like the ayatollahs in Iran. Don't get me wrong, though: I don't claim that Israel should be removed from the Middle East map! But I do think that Israeli authorities should nuance their immigration policy... why not welcoming a few hundreds of ethnic Albanians from Kosovo for a change? Regards, Gustave.
