How did Israel get so much influence? How can this be changed or overcome?

    I'll also add myself to the list of never hearing of it before, and I'd consider myself pretty au fait with Nazism.

    No doubt it was obvious to some here but I'd bet there were a few who googled first and subsequently claimed so too.

    TLDR

    It's a very simple answer. Jews are highly ethnocentric, extremely rigorous in keeping each other in line and are pursuing a group strategy to dominate financially & politically that has been very strictly stuck to for hundreds of years. Meanwhile White people are doing individualism and getting completely run over in our own countries because all our institutions have been taken over by a hostile outgroup.

    Shows that it's ad hoc bullsh*t. There's nothing western about Israel at all, it's an illegitimate country run by a Middle Eastern apocalypse cult. All those countries that supply the weapons for genocide and run cover for their crimes are vassal states - completely compromised.

    I'm aware of Maus but only because I saw it top a Top 100 or similar graphic novels list. I've been to more than my fair share of museums that cover Nazi Germany as well along with the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews just outside Warsaw. I still didn't know that this was a Nazi propaganda trope.

    Lineker's been sloppy with words before. I think it's fair to see this as an honest mistake.

    The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.

    People in general need to be very careful what they're retweeting. And if you're in the public eye, it's probably best not to retweet anything at all unless it's from a very trusted source. You may retweet something that, on the surface, looks agreeable. It might just be a couple of lines. But you might have absolutely no idea where it originated or who it was from and that goes double when it's contentious topics such as the one in question.

    "it's an illegitimate country run by a Middle Eastern apocalypse cult"

    To be fair that describes almost every sh*thole in the middle east. Only difference with Israel is we pretend its not one of them.

    The whole region itself is a bunch of backwards cultish dictatorships.

    Watched a video of a UK Dr who has worked in Gaza talking on the BBC about her former colleague who lost 9 of her 10 children in an Israeli bomb attack in recent days. The mother was working at the hospital where the bodies of her children were brought and she was unable to even recognize some of them due to the extent of their injuries.

    In the midst of the interview, the presenter once again interjected to give the Israeli Defence Forces point of view in response to a comment being made about how they had previously executed 15 emergency workers.

    I was wondering, how was it communicated to all presenters that they need to do this? Never once have we seen an Israeli supporting commentator being interrupted with the point being made that the Palestinians would object with what was being said so why do we see it so frequently with the presenters defending Israel? Are they all similarly personally supportive of Israel? I'm sure some of them are but find it hard to believe they all would be.

    Was there a memo sent? Was there a word at the water cooler? Is it just they themselves have become institutionalised to defend Israel's actions as their default position. I hope all of them live to regret their role in absolving Israel of its cruelty.
