  1. If the US withdrew support for Israel, the nations of the Middle East would attack Israel and we'd see a genocide that would make Hitler proud. Israel has not expanded since 1967 and has even returned the Sinai to Egypt since then. That's a pretty poor expansion policy. They've controlled the west bank since 67 and although one could criticise them for the settlements that are being built, there has been no expansion in over 50 years. So that expansion argument isn't all that valid, either.

  2.  @tydiab8838  They took the West Bank from Jordan back in 67 and have controlled it ever since. They taken land and displaced people there and built that land into Israeli towns since then but they've been in charge there for over 50 years, just like they did with the Golan Heights.

  3.  Dan i  LOL....I wouldn't be here if I were Jewish. My parents would have been killed during the Holocaust. My uncle was sent to Westerbork, the Jewish detention centre in the Netherlands, and held there, until they could send him to the POW camp, at Texel, because he wasn't Jewish. He was accused of espionage against the Nazis. He was sent to Westerbork because it was only 10 kilometres from where he lived. Sorry bud......You'll have to come up with a better argument to back your claims than to call me a Jew.

  4.  Dan i  It's very common in Holland, as well. My ancestors came from Silesia, around 1670, and moved to northern Holland. At that time, the name was spelled with 2 "n"s, Havemann, still spelled that way in Germany. They dropped an "n" to make it more Dutch looking.

  5.  Dan i  Basically "shut up" then. Your arguments aren't getting any better, are they. If name calling doesn't work, tell them to be quiet. Worked good when I was 8.

  6.  @joecasey7415  Most of the Bolsheviks were NOT Jews and Stalin, the worst of them, was Georgian. He caused the starvation of millions during Holodomor. Castro once said that he'd sacrifice the lives of every Cuban if it meant the end of America. That was after the Cuban Missile Crisis. Chavez took the richest country in the Americas, after the US and Canada, and drove it into bankruptcy. Venezuelans were so hungry that they were eating their pets and zoo animals. 7 million people have fled that country since 2015, according to the United Nations. Inflation was over ONE MILLION percent at it's worst. Every one of them killed their own people. The United States is FAR from perfect but to use that country to defend monsters like Lenin, Stalin, Castro and Chavez is beyond ridiculous.

  7.  @joecasey7415  Of course, you want to blame Marx as the sole "inventor" of communism, along with his sidekick, Engels. However, he wasn't the first to even use the word. It was first used in France, in the lead up to the French Revolution in 1785. Victor d'Hupay referred to himself as a communist author in a letter he sent in that year. Marx wouldn't be born until 33 years AFTER that letter was written. d'Hupay's friend, Nicolas Restif de la Bretonne, first used the word "communism" to describe a government system based on egalitarianism and the common ownership of property in 1793, also LONG before Marx was born. Restif used that word numerous times in his writings to describe that system of government. He was NOT Jewish and neither was d'Hupay. There were countless socialist intellectuals, all advocating for an egalitarian society and abolishing the ownership of property. Marx became the most influential of these socialists but it was already quite established as an ideology during his time. Although he was born to Jewish parents, he was baptised into Christianity when he was 6 years old. He never practised Judaism and became an atheist when he grew up. He said atheism was the opiate of the masses which included Judaism. Also, a look at the leaders of the Russian revolution shows that there were Jews in their ranks but a lot of Russian intellectuals as well. Lenin had Jewish roots but he never even knew about it and was raised in the Russian Orthodox church. His sister revealed that Lenin did have Jewish roots but had never been told about it. You're allowing bigotry to cloud your world view. There are a LOT of Jews who absolutely HATE communism. Instead of attacking an ethnicity, attack the ideology, which would have endured without the work of Marx. There are tens of millions of communists around the world and very few of them are communist and are represented no more or less than any other nationality. While you're off fighting Jews, American communists are threatening to destroy this country and almost ALL have no Jewish roots. Fight them ALL, not a just a small fraction of them.
