It was a stark, black and white world. Your country was either good, i.e. with us, or it was bad. If it wasn't with us, well... A similar way of thinking has swept Israel under Netanyahu and Lieberman.<br />The Disaffected Libhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13135599782685108764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-16038242631789766872020-07-30T12:27:47.246-07:002020-07-30T12:27:47.246-07:00True enough, TB.

Positive is what we experienced during the Centennial, Expo 67, when Canadians set their differences aside and, together, celebrated our then wonderful country without trying to diminish any other nation or their ways. Negative nationalism is the sort that swept Germany in the latter part of the 30s and is spreading through America, Poland, Hungary and pretty much wherever liberal democracy is giving way to authoritarianism.

I give not a shit what people think..unless I respect them.. but the mythology of Israel in its current state is uh.. stale, mouldy.... reminds of South African apartheid.. resembles it, mirrors it <br /><br />Yes yes.. Israel is surrounded by aggro'd warlike Arab nations.. (that aint gonna change) if we look at Palestine in context of First Nation.. or eradication (for the nation) of the buffalo.. things should become crystal clear. We exterminate peoples or species that stand in the way of overpopulation..(is that 'National Interest ?

American Jews, after a flirtation with the right, have largely veered left again and seem to reject many of the more radical tenets of their Israeli brethren. Israel has gone pretty hardcore rightwing, especially under Netanyahu/Lieberman.
