Because it wrecks Abe Foxman's dinner.

The Nazis also famously saw themselves as victims (of the other European powers and especially the Jews) even as they launched an atrocious and brutal war of aggression.

This strikes me as a good paradigm for the mentality of contemporary Zionism, especially but not exclusively the right-wing settler variety. It also describes the outlook of many organized supporters of Israel in the US, who rage against ever mutating alarms of anti-Semitism and persecution — even as their wealth, power and influence in the country has clearly grown exponentially. And why they find such a congenial alliance with our otherwise nativist and "Christian" Republican Right.

Needless to say, Greenwald did not make this connection. . .

Interesting.

The same animated the German right in the Weimar republic…

While Weimar Germany was fighting for its survival post WW1, the USA is fighting for Jewish survival or expansion, that is, for a foreign tribal state. "We both love Israel," as the recently trained Palin told the American public during the VP debate last night. The Arab world, most especially the natives of Palestine, do not
even register in the American psyche as real humans.

The most important reason for this is who dominates the tools of
mainstream public opinion. It was no different in Weimar Era in Germany.

Makes me wonder how much of his history is skewed by his extreme zionist position.
