Reply #45: I think he's talking about an idea [View All]

[Aidoneus]

the whole colonial adventure part is morphed into "the Jew being picked on" because it's comforting to a held idea (since spelled out exactly by MariMayans to mean victimism) to ignore or alter the unsavory bits that deviate from a storyline of a besieged mentality/"just defending ourselves from 'terrorists'". Incidentally, the latter are then referred to routinely and directly as subhuman/animals by many pro-Israel posters here without the same inquisition this is getting now.

or maybe I am just anthropomorphisizing it so I could throw in that last sentence as a barb towards the reactions. :shrug:
