Netanyahu's Israel breathes new life into the modern Nazi movement.
Isn't it beaut! There's a particular type of young man who feel the need to hate and be violent. Waiting for such men is the ever-simmering philosophy of Nazism, with its no.1 principle of anti-semitism.
Now at last, after such a long drought of support for Nazism, along come Hamas and the Netanyatu regime in Israel, providing a convenient reason for Nazis to spread hatred of Jews.
The picture above shows a a very recent march of neo-Nazis in Bendigo, a country town in Australia. Nazi symbolism, including the Nazi salute, are banned there by law. But they can still get their message across with their black outfits, nearly-Nazi symbolism, and hate speech.
Not all that surprising to find a little sprouting of Nazism in Australia, seeing that many Nazi war criminals and collaborators fled to Australia at the end of World War 2. Those philosophies of anti-semitism have deep roots in European history, and still influence the thinking of some groups in Australia, and in other lands that received the Nazi fugitives.
We don't get to hear much about the Jewish Voice For Peace, and the many intelligent and compassionate Jews who reject what the Israeli government is doing to the Palestinians, (as well as rejecting the atrocities done by Hamas) .
No - it's so much easier to blame all Jews for the genocide in Gaza - Gaza as the modern-day horror - the new Auschwitz being perpretated by Jews.
This whole continuing catastrophe is a bonus to extreme right-wing and anti-semitic groups. Not being Jewish myself, I can hardly imagine what it must feel like, to see these hatreds rising up again, and know those fears of persecution still have some basis in reality.
Thankfully, there are many Jews and non-Jews who see the whole picture, and reject the cruelty being inflicted on the Palestinians.
My hope is that sanity will prevail, and world leaders will listen. All that the USA has to do is to stop Biden's hypocrisy, stop providing the weaponry to Israel, reject Netanyahu, and start working with peace-makers. There must be a way for fairness and decency for the people of Palestine and the people of Israel.
Meanwhile, the Western world must stop its pretending that the genocide of Gaza is OK, and start noticing the fodder that this is providing to reinvigorate Nazism.
