Why do so many People Hate Zionism?

[NoraBrimstone]

Nora,

A truly horrific video. That there are ultra right wing fascists in Israel sickens me to my stomach and the plight of the refugees is genuinely horrific.

I do have to point out a something that you might have missed in the video:

Right at the beginning when it stated that Europe closed its doors completely to the immigrants and that that was the reason they went to Israel. It appears Israel was caught on the hop, having not closed their doors at the same time.

No country appears to have a system that allows for immigration of refugees. Its a global issue. Indigenous populations always react badly to immigration, particularly in Europe. Look at the British panic whenever anyone mentions Eastern European immigration. Look at the reactions in the British press (the Mail, Express and so on) to immigrants.

I am not justifying the video. Merely pointing out that had it happened in Britain, for example, a similar video could have been made with ultra-nationalists there and I am using Britain as an example precisely because it is one of the most multi-national cultures on earth.

It would also have been similar in Greece.

Thanks. I agree with everything you have said here.

My point is just that Israel isn't some perfect pleace full of perfect people. It's as fucked up as anywhere else. That's something matey here doesn't seem to underfuckingstand. lol

Also, you just reminded me to check the news for more stories trying to make me terrified of Romanians and Bulgarians. UKIP sent out flyers saying 29 million of them are coming over here next month. Impressive, considering that's more than the combined populations of Romania and Bulgaria...
