There seems to be a lot of "we were fine with it when it only harmed or was directed against other groups but now that it's turned against us, it's suddenly bad and someone should do something about it! We're special because Holocaust!"
For a certain segment of Jewish society, the Holocaust was the best thing to ever happen to the Jewish people. As a famous Jewish comedian once said, "There's no business like Shoah business."
-boohoo, we support the Left, which supports the idea that trying to preserve European ethnic groups' identity and culture is evil, unnecessary, and racist....but why won't they understand how much we need to preserve our ethnic identity and culture!
To a certain extent, the Jews have a point. They have the right to protect themselves and their group...just like everyone else does. But they seem to think they're a special case, and other peoples' rights are racist and jingoistic nonsense. I'm fine with Israel doing whatever they feel works for them in Israel, as long as they don't expect us to pay the bill, or fight their battles for them. They are the only nuclear power in the Middle East. Why on earth is their security a problem with which anyone else needs to concern themselves? If they don't like the idea of Iran with nukes, let THEM bomb the facilities or offer concessions to get them to dismantle their centrifuges. I have no idea why I am supposed to worry when people talk about various Middle Eastern dictators' stated intention to push Israel into the sea.
I find them highly entertaining.
