  • The right to exist is one thing, then being placed in an area where everyone that was there didn't want those people there. Don't the people living there and have done for centuries have a right to exist in their land?

    There was a choice of somewhere in Africa and somewhere in the US. Why not pick the US?

    I'm not sure if I'm being antisemitic, meeting some Israelis, travelling after their military service, were not very nice people and had strong opinions on the local gentiles.

  • If I was being lenient, I’d say you were referring to ex-Military specifically, which wouldn’t be racist/antisemitic.

    I know a good handful of lads, from the north of England, who served a couple of tours… and the way that has coloured their life experience in their formative years, well they say some things I don’t like or agree with.

    This observation is not the same as me saying “northern ex army lads have some questionable opinions”. They’re only northern because so am I, and that’s how I know them. It’s an aside detail.

  • I don't understand the leniency, as that is the point I'm making.

    Have experience of Europeans that were conscripts and they didn't finish their conscription with that attitude.
