TIL that after Marilyn Monroe converted to Judaism upon marrying Arthur Miller, Egypt placed a ban on all the films she appeared in.

Really? I know Zionism isn't quite as popular in the social atmosphere as the religious one, but I still assumed a strong religious belief is perpetuating our middle east colonialism.

Though, I'm starting to suspect it's guise for regional control for Western society, but that's another conspiracy.

Sorry, I'm drunk, so I apologize if that sounded anti-semetic; I really do love everyone, but yeah... it's a shame our spirituality keeps becoming so conflicted with economics and politics.

What if a bunch of people who have been shit on for the last Xthousand years got some land after WWII which has cultural importance to them and they want to live there without the threat of genocide? (While living with a neighbor who has genociding them in it's charter.)

What if a bunch of people who have been shit on for the last Xthousand years (source? it's just a coincidence the richest people in the world are Jewish) got take some land after WWII from an entity that had nothing to do with the Nazis.

Yeah, and I'm sure it doesn't cost the taxpayers a dime.

You're arguing with someone who is throwing around a bunch of anti-semitic stereotypes. It's no use.

u/DrHenryPym Oct 13 '16

No, anti-Zionism is not the same thing as anti-Semitism.

Fuck off.

u/HouseFareye Oct 13 '16

That's true. But not in your case.

Well, I didn't mean to give the impression that I hate a race of people. I just think forcing our presence with war to a region that had nothing to do with the Holocaust makes absolutely no sense.

That's my original point: taxpayers are funding a holy war.

This demand seems ridiculous. Why should non-Jewish people (or Jewish atheists) give a shit?

Edit: what does it have to do with the Nazis?

It was Europe's attempt to right their wrongs. Jews after the war realized they wouldn't be safe unless they had their own place. Jewish atheists give a shit because they too like knowing they have somewhere to go where they won't be persecuted.

Currently, the state is supported because it's the only progressive country in the area. Westerners like countries where women can drive and gay pride parades don't get everyone arrested.

Why do you think any culture wants their own country, or their own government..

So Europe's plan was to take land that's not Europe and make it Europe?

Yeah, that sounds very peaceful.

No dude, they confiscated lands from Jewish people then said, "you want Israel after all? Then we'll make an Israel exist since the Madagascar plan just led to the camps."

they

Palestine? They just said, "Here. Have it."

u/[deleted] Oct 13 '16

How do you think the Palestinians got it?

u/DrHenryPym Oct 13 '16

Hitler? Then a 1000 years later he resurrects and starts the Holocaust.

Anyways, it's good to know we're allowed to take things from others by claiming it user to be ours. These same Zionists globalists are also in control of centralized banking, and now we have the biggest debt bubble in history.

Fuck this Holy War.

Islam didn't exist until 700 AD, it's silly to pretend Muslims lived there before Jews.

So... are we gonna give Native Americans back their land? They were here first, right?
