    Israel is far from great, but fascism? Really? I guess Hamas is like the beacon of freedom and civilization and justice right?

    Strawman argument. No, I don't agree with Hamas - But Hamas is neither the only Palestinian freedom organization, nor does it's existence prevent me from being able to oppose the Israeli genocide of the Palestinians, much in the same way as one can be against the war in Afghanistan, but not support the Taliban/Al Qaeda. No, Israel isn't fascist, and I did over-exaggerate a lot in my post. But they are terrible country, they are extremely imperialistic, and they are committing genocide.

    Genocide. Really. I don't suppose a credible source would be much to ask here?

    not surprisd though, Latvia has the strongest neo-nazi movement then any other european country. Its sick the hatred for Russians some Latvians have is not an excuse for things like this.

    Hamas runs the Gaza strip. Its like basing your entire opinion on America from what you've read on the Ku Klux Klan. Mahmoud Abbas, while unfortunately not stepping down, is a fair leader, and definitely better than any current Israeli leaders. He also happens to have a hell of a lot more Palestinian land under his control than Hamas does.

    Don't have to have an empire to be imperialistic. While I disagree and don't think they are, I can see why Ler would think that way. Genocide is just insane though.

    Looking to expand into the small areas immediately bordering you is imperialism?. In that case, the freaking ancient greek city states were imperialistic.

    They were....

    Imperialism - the policy of extending the rule or authority of an empire or nation over foreign countries, or of acquiring and holding colonies and dependencies.

    I concede that point. I am still gonna stick to the point that Ler was trying to make Israeli imperialism sound like nazi imperialism though.

    There is no such thing as Nazi imperialism. You might as well start making up words like Chinese, American, or Roman imperialism. Its just imperialism. Imperialism is leveled in severity though. Its obviously less frowned upon for Israel to invade and annex Palestine in self defense whereas its more frowned upon for Nazi Germany to invade and annex Europe :p

    That's a load of semantic nonsense. Of course there's such a thing as Nazi imperialism. It's imperialism perpetrated by Nazis. Just like American imperialism is perpetrated by the USA, British imperialism by the UK, so on and so forth. In any case, you knew exactly what he meant anyway, so why bother saying all that rubbish?

    Israel's conquests are not even legally recognized by the UN you know.

    Just pointing it out. By what you say, then its absolutely logically impossible for Israelis to commit Nazi imperialism. They commit Israeli imperialism (if they are imperialist, which I disagree with).
    And? I'm sure Nazi Germany's conquests weren't legally recognized by the Allies, does that make them any less real?
