And I'm not saying that the Ashkenazi supremacy attitude has to do with Arabs specifically (hating the Arabs is, perhaps, one of those temporary phenomena), it's a general contempt (and if not contempt, then complete indifference) for the goys, gentiles. It's very common.<br /><br />The Holocaust - yes, but antisemitism has been around for a long time. Maybe it's largely over now when the Ashkenazi have finally become definitely 'White', no different from Greeks or Italians. But it sure has been around for centuries. <br /><br />Turks vs Armenians, not so much, just a political crisis/war situation getting out of control.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7858950.post-64237194627052944292012-10-03T15:08:15.657+03:002012-10-03T15:08:15.657+03:00The Holocaust and Nakba also occurred during wars....The Holocaust and Nakba also occurred during wars. There isn't much anti-Semitism in Germany today either. Also I think there is a context to White supremacism and anti-Semitism. Certainly anti-Black racism developed in places like South Africa as a way of justifying the unequal distribution of resources between Europeans and Africans. In contrast there are societies where there has been comparatively little anti-Black racism like Russia. Mainly because the Black population has been so small and racism has been directed at other groups.J.

Similar with Armenians, Iraqi Kurds, the Vietnam war. In the context of war, of general madness, madness prevails, and then it disappears. Americans don't hate the Vietnamese anymore, Polaks Germans, Turks Armenians. <br /><br />White supremacism, antisemitism, and, I would add, the Ashkenazi supremacism, they are different. They are long-lasting attitudes, that persist without any context whatsoever. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
