I have a hard time understanding the blind spot the west has over exactly how multilayered resentment over the west's nearly unconditional support  for Israel since 1956 forms the much of the basement and foundation upon which the superstructure of modern Islamism is built.

The key word being unconditional. I always keep saying, support them when they're actually attacked. Don't support them for wanting to have it all. It seems the only way that their ruling rightwingers move their asses to the negotiation table with some serious compromises in their bags.

Actually, I don't think you can give Himmler the credit for that "strategy."  It is much, much, older.

In terms of efficiency, he was the first.

Himmler was just an apparatchik following a well-traveled path.

Yes, I know all of that, thank you very much. But they didn't make an industry out of it. That's why I don't mention Pol Pot or Hutus and Tutsis either. Not everything is on the same lines. Using 20th century hightech and logistics for genocide is a singularity and it's better not repeated.

Himmler is just John Hammond.

Nah.  Jew killing was old hat in Europe.



Himmler was just an apparatchik following a well-traveled path.

The Jews were collaborators with the muslims against the Christians.  Therefore it was only natural that people were pissed off at them throughout the centuries.  Besides, even the Bible says that they don't please God and are hostile to the entire human race.

That's probably because up until the formation of modern Israel, the Muslims most often treated the Jews better and with less frequent deadly intent than the followers of the savior and the prince of peace.
