It's hard to make a similar case about a people who had spent a lot of time in chains working plantations.
Now that bit about slaves working plantations eludes me completely. Where is the connection with what we're discussing?

The main "pro-point", however, was the foreign policy of the Nazis: they didn't want to make England an enemy, and they did have some colonising ideas themselves. (Most blacks were from the former German colonies or descendants from there.)
This only changed after Stalingrad.
Happy Saturday morning, Walter Hinteler. I think, and I may be absolutely wrong, that Izzy meant I was blaming the Jews for wanting to invade Iran more so than any other country and that would be a cooked up conspiracy comparable to: "the Protocols of Zionism."

Quote:The Nazis demonised the Jews by using Czarist forgeries like The Protocols Of Zion. They accused the Jews of starting the war by conspiring against the German people. Long before they invaded Poland they stated that if there was a war it would be the fault of the Jews, because those in Wall Street and the Bolshevik Jews in the Kremlin, had been conspiring together to enfeeble Germany. The fact that there were many wealthy Jews, helped their argument.
I had written I was delighted Obama was trying diplomacy first instead of added sanctions against Iran which is what Netanyahu, PM of Israel, has been agitating into a near frenzy by his impassioned oratory to anyone who would listen. The Israeli PM, instead of trying for diplomacy first, would like to worsen the sanctions against the Persian nation and if not that, he'd like the US to bomb Iran. The world's leading countries agreed with Obama who called the gradual easing of sanctions against Iran, "a beginning first step which could lead to a greater peace." Of course it could all fall apart because of some harliners in Iran, and even discontents in the US like John McCain, but my fingers are crossed. Perhaps Izzy meant I was being too harsh on Israel in the light of all the other political opposition out there. Well, the opposition in the US is stemming from AIPAC who pays the US congress handsomely to be pro-Israel and this is why there is such booming noise. I believe if the money was rich enough the congress would favor Israel over the American people, after all, we did invade Iraq partially because Israel wanted to get rid of a perceived enemy, Saddam Hussein, and over 4,500 + US military died and for what?....NOTHING! Not to mention the untold number of dead Iraqis, refugees and those maimed and mangled for life.
So no, I do not trust Israel.
I have not the slightest intention of backing down from my statement that Israel has been the greatest firebrand against Iran. Sure, Saudi Arabia would like sanctions to continue but this country, is not likely to of its own volition bomb Iran and in the long run can be reasoned with. Israel, on the other hand, is still threatening to bomb Iran, "even if they have to go it alone"
although I must admit they've toned it down a bit.
Perhaps, Izzy believes I am creating a conspiracy with my voiced opinions against Israel....well, sorry about that but I'm not about to change my views unless someone can prove me wrong...I can be persuaded by an intelligent argument.
