Fascist Israel?

The 18th Knesset will be remembered mainly as a body that rendered superfluous the necessity of arguing. This is because the act of critical argument is founded upon the assumption that there is a point to argument. This assumption about the utility of argument is a staple of democratic governance; it is rooted in traditional liberal theory which holds that opinions and thoughts are subject to change.

This is an axiom upon which the which the wheels of democracy revolve. The citizen in a democracy is essentially a dialectical creature: he understands that any thesis, no matter how well-rooted it seems to be, will at some stage be challenged by an antithesis, one which is no less logical; and the fusion of the two leads to a synthesis which at some point turns into a thesis, which in the future will also beget an antithesis.

Not internalizing the foundations of such a dialectic leads to the annulment of democracy, and the creation of some other form of governance in its stead.

The 18th Knesset will be remembered as the one which nullified the tradition of parliamentary dialectics. This is the Knesset which, in a deliberate, consistent fashion institutionalized faith in one policy path, one political position, one acceptable public viewpoint. It adopted as an overriding goal the need to penalize and harm anyone who casts doubts on the veracity of the one accepted path, who wonders about the rectitude of the one accepted public viewpoint, and who dares to challenge the country's hegemonic perception.

The widely held view that the slew of anti-democratic laws legislated by the 18th Knesset is a slippery slope to Fascism in the future is disingenuous. The Boycott Law is Fascism: it is a categorically anti-democratic law whose goal is to annul any possibility of legitimate protest.

There's no slope to slide down here; we're not talking about symbols, or process. We are instead witnessing purposeful, palpable manifestations of Fascism. This is the reality itself - not something which will happen in the future; and it leaves no crevice for a voice of opposition to make itself heard in what was once called the only democracy in the Middle East.

That is the cause of the deep feeling holding that "there is no point in arguing." One of the most conspicuous signs of Fascism is an assumption laden within any discussion or argument: it is assumed that all debate is a mere formality. Debaters who take positions are nothing other than puppets, devoid of free will; their discussion is a mere showcase, an appealing picture covering an ugly reality.

This Knesset will be remembered as an apparatus that forcibly repealed any prospect of new ideas and possibilities, of freedom of debate crucial to any society that seeks to last for any prolonged period, and not deteriorate in utter stagnation.

No reason to argue when you are always right about everything.

Heard about this on the radio... wow.

Israel has never been a democracy. That was propaganda, anyway, so, the long goodbye to that idea is way overdue.

This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. Ashkenazi Jews were the main players behind Bolshevism and look what happened with that. Millions of dead people, and the ones who lived had about zero rights. Israel has become the new USSR in some regards.

In light of the horrible events of the Third Reich and the carefully planed genocide of the Jewish people. it's all to easy to not to ask the question: why?

Why did Hitler want to eliminate a whole group of people? Didn't he like their dark hair? Was it the noses? Weren't the German Jews law abiding, tax paying citizens as well? What was going on in his head? Nobody who hasn't read "Mein Kampf" can't even begin to comprehend the underlying force that was moving him.

Now look at the atrocious crimes committed by the Israelis in their attempt to build a Jewish State and commit genocide on the people of Palestine who were forced from their homes in 1947, and you may agree with me one day in at a time far, far away, history will be revisited and reevaluated based on not only the events of the Third Reich, but those that came afterward as well.

A lot of Westerners...well Americans anyways never hear and/or learn about Bolshevik Russia for the fact the USSR was our ally in the war. They didn't hear about the hundreds of thousands of Eastern Europeans being deported to Siberia for a sure death after the Molotov - Ribbentrop Pact. Jews played major role in the deportations of Poles, Baltics people, and Romanians in Bessarabia. After Operation Odessa it was pay back time in the minds of those people and the Jews were #1 on their hit list. Hitler knew this and he helped fuel the fire so to speak even though not much fuel was needed. Those people saw their parents, sisters, brothers, etc... packed up in the middle of the night in the dead of winter and marched down to trains and where they were taken to Siberia. Most of those people never came back. Jews ran the show there (Eastern Europe) for the most part and after the NAZI's came in well pay back.

After the fall of Berlin Stalin had the new Commie Polish government ran by Jews for the fact he didn't trust the Poles due to the fact Poles hated the Russians and for good reason. The Jews in that government continued to kill thousands of Poles and this was after WW2. Anti Semitism runs high in Eastern Europe to this day. You don't help butcher millions of human beings in the name of Bolshevism and expect everyone to forget over night what happened.

btw Jewish organizations in the US, UK, Canada, etc... helped to fund the Bolshevik government in USSR with tens of millions of dollars during Trotsky's time.

As far as Germans go...well check that wiki link down below, and then click on every linkable name in that link and look at their origins.
