The rules of the institutions that define our lives bend like reeds when it comes to Israel – so much that the whole global order is on the verge of collapse

Israel’s war in Gaza is chipping away at so much of what we – in the United States but also internationally – had agreed upon as acceptable, from the rules governing our freedom of speech to the very laws of armed conflict. It seems no exaggeration to say that the foundation of the international order of the last 77 years is threatened by this change in the obligations governing our legal and political responsibilities to each other.

    The result of the persecution against the Jews resulted in an influx of them going down there. However, the persecution was long before World War II and the Nazis did not directly assist that migration and therefore comparing the two groups as a team or descendants is offensive.

    Facts:

    • Zionism happened before Nazism.
    • The migration of Jewish people to Palestine began long before WWII.
    • The only thing the Nazis did was speed up that migration and establish international sympathy for the Jewish people.

    Now, if you’re saying Israel today is Nazi-like… then yeah I agree completely.
