Former CIA head targets Jewish suffering in Israel's actions
2021-04-30
What Jew-hate looks like.
[JPost] - Former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) director John Brennan slammed Jews on Tuesday, demanding they be held to a higher standard than others. "I always found it difficult to fathom how a nation of people deeply scarred by a history replete with prejudice, religious persecution and unspeakable violence perpetrated against them would not be empathetic champions of those whose rights and freedoms are still abridged."

Brennan made his comment while posting an op-ed he had written in The New York Times about the Palestinian quest for statehood. In his telling of it, he implied that Jews must have a special empathy for others while non-Jews have no special need to be empathetic.

Brennan has not made similar comments about other victimized people, such as the African American descendants of slaves in the US; nor has he held other countries to a higher standard based on the ethnic and religious origins of their citizens.
When the time is right, John, we'll show your Paleosimian pals how well we learned the lessons of Holocaust.

#10  My problem is that the short answer feels too glib, but if I give a list of half a dozen history books that circle back to the same "yup," it sounds time consuming.

Also, they both seem to have a really big affiliation with the concept of Lebensunwertes Leben which I've really had enough of to last a lifetime.

#9  With regard to snappy dressers. One of my German teachers in college (a long time ago) told us an old WW2 German joke: Hitler walks into a hotel sees a doorman with a very impressive and elaborate uniform and orders him to be arrested on the spot. His aides comply but then ask Hitler why he was arrested. His reply: "Goering is coming, and he'll want us to spend a fortune so that everyone is wearing this uniform."

#7   the historical Nazis used slightly less leftist symbology and crisp tailoring,

Say what you will about the tenets of National Socialism, but those guys were snappy dressers.

#5  Depends on the point in time.

IF you tell anyone one of the founders of the Nazi Party spent the war living in an apartment over a general store in Canada, writing puff piece personal profiles of the other leadership and telling anyone who would listen that what Adolf was doing wasn't _real_ Naziism, I think they'll look at you like you've grown a second head.

The Nazis more or less actively tried to recruit communists or former communists to their side during the early 30's, and then (I suspect) aggressively filtered out the ones they thought would be unreliable in the Night of the Long Knives.

#4  Whereas the historical Nazis used slightly less leftist symbology and crisp tailoring, Snowy Thing?

#3  They're building the complete machinery of Nazi Germany but they think they're different because they use leftist symbology and ugly tailoring.

#2  The difference between most modern totalitarians and the Nazis?

The Nazis had those cool Hugo Boss uniforms in black with silver trim. Those were awesome.

#1  With Donald Trump out of the picture, he can now direct his wrath at the Jew. Perhaps Brennan has signed a secret protocol that will permit the invasion of Poland, Oklahoma, or Indiana.
