    I don't think that's an apt comparison. America is not an antisemitic nation by and large. This is the effect of immigrants not needing to assimilate and carrying homeland grudges. Still horrible, but not 1930's Germany.

      I agree. I posted it for the video rather than the commentary.

        Both sides were carrying flags. This particular incident looks like both sides were willing participants and looking for trouble. Still, i would not have objected to a few wood shampoos being applied.

              Not that I know too much about him, but I found this surprising.

                @jon-nyc said in Hamas attacks Israel:

                Wow. That’s troubling.

                  Fantastic. Sadly accurate.

                          Sad and deranged. Not sure how to make people like this see sense.

                            Interesting article to me.

                            https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2025/06/sinwar-march-folly/683290/

                            One would think that Yahya Sinwar, until recently the leader of Hamas in Gaza, had absorbed the lessons of 1967. But he overestimated his own capabilities, and those of the Iranian-led “Axis of Resistance.” Like the leaders of Iran, he spoke violently and with great confidence. He allowed his reasoning capabilities to be overwhelmed by conspiracism and supremacist Muslim Brotherhood theology. He also made the same analytical mistake Nasser had made: He underestimated the desire of Israelis to live in their ancestral homeland, basing his conclusion on an incorrect understanding of how Israel sees itself.

                            In the end, the October 7 massacre Sinwar ordered did not cause the destruction of Israel but instead led to the dismantling of its enemies. Hamas is largely destroyed, and most of its leaders, including Sinwar, are dead, assassinated by Israel. Hezbollah, in Lebanon, is comprehensively weakened. Syria’s Bashar al-Assad, Iran’s main Arab ally, is in exile in Moscow, his country now led by Sunni Muslims hostile to Iran’s leaders. Iran’s skies are under the control of the Israeli Air Force, and its $500 billion nuclear program appears to be, at least partially, rubble and dust.

                            Not since Nasser has anyone in the Middle East been proved so wrong so quickly.
