  • What’s your point? The term Nazi no longer specifically refers to someone who is a member of a now defunct political party in Germany, but anyone who has those values, commits those crimes or shares those views.

    So by a more modern definition of Nazi, Stalin and Beria were Nazis.

    You’re arguing semantics as if it somehow excuses Israeli war crimes and crimes against humanity which they are definitely committing or depending on how strict your definition of genocide is, they may also be committing.









  • Of course, it’s far too nuanced an issue to boil down in a couple of sentences but such is the nature of online discourse.

    I see Al quaeda, and in a more general sense, Sunni extremism as a whole as the child of Saudi Arabia. The bombing of the US Cole was probably the point when the Saudi regime realised that exporting Salafist Jihad abroad had bigger consequences than they intended (attack regional opponents like Israel and Iran) and that it was quickly getting out of control and so they attempted to distance themselves in case America and Britain turned around and cut off their military aid.

    The international mujahadeen movement was born in Saudi Arabia; funded by Saudi Arabia; created out of a quasi death cult of islam called Wahabism founded in Saudi Arabia; bin Laden was a major figure in Saudi politics and society and from one of the richest, non-Royal families in the country; almost all the members of Al-Queda were Saudi.

    If Saudi foreign policy and money created the mujahadeen, then they are Saudi.
