Now I’ve read Professor Israel Shahak’s book, “Jewish History, Jewish Religion: The Weight of 3,000 years”, and in it he claims that Jews do not see Gentile whites as “white” or Human. I understand and respect the fact that many of you do not feel that way or believe in such an ideology.
But this kind of propagandist writing, of the above writer, is the end all of be all. I think my fellow Gentiles have blinders on, she basically is joyfully calling for the annihilation of the “white race” – and we know she means the White Gentiles. Anyone who truly researches history knows that White Gentile Europeans and White Jewish history is not the same, even though our histories might intertwine. And anyone who studies out of the mainstream of historical writers know who was the majority of any people involved in the African and United Kingdom slave trade, and it wasn’t the “Muslims” or the white “Christians”.
So why is it that the majority of White Gentile Americans, that didn’t own slaves, nor could have even dreamed of affording at most a hired hand, to blame for what was the majority a Jewish enterprise? And as for World colonalization, well, we all know who the majority of the Big Bankers are and the Big Corporation leaders are, and the coal industry, and the diamond industry, and the gold industry, and the drug industry – or at least how they launder their money.

Or is she actually calling for the annihilation of her own “ethnicity”? I’m confused?

What a load of Racist B.S…. Everyone with a brain can see right through this type of thinking… Who do you think was using the resources and trafficking in their own populations long before Europeans (White Men) came to Africa??? And brother, let me tell ya… More people have been “Trafficked” by Muslims in the past 600 years than any other group on the planet LOL…
And explain to me how “White men” Trafficked and used up the resources of South America again???? What a load of crud…

@JG,

Indeed, I cannot understand what Minna Rozen writes about life expectancy, because it does not makes sense.

Turkey, which had an empire of its own and was never colonized by nobody, has now a life expectancy slightly lower than Brazil.

Japan, the country with the highest life expectancy on earth, is neither “western” nor “white”. And the countries colonized by Japan in the late 19th century and early 20th – Korea and Taiwan – have the same life expectancy as Belgium or France.

Greece and Belgium have almost the same life expectancy, as if Belgian Congo’s wealth and Greece lack of colonies had nothing to do with it.

So, hard facts invalidate the wild theory of Minna Rozen that links life expectancy and a colonial past.

As your carecterization dissenters as “white supremacy colonialist”, please do consider that it is Minna Rozen, not I or Aaron, who makes a confusion between the color of the western people’s skin and the public wealth of their nations.

This is typical of leftist who are incapable to overcome their racist prejudices and so reverse them as self loathing.

Of course Minna has a point, telling about the effects of colonial history. One cannot deny the significance of 500 years of waging wars and exploiting Africa, Asia and Latin-America. And moreover, “we” are still doing it.
I think this type of writing has to do with conscience, and perceiving who “we” are 2012. We cannot change anything to the better, if we don’t want to understand our own history.
Then of course certain points allways can (and should) be argued.

No surprise that white supremacy neo-colonialists like Aaron and Szyster don’t like this post. Thy even can’t understand it.
Such minds are the heart of the problem that Minna described.

This is hilarious. Aaron is right. This is the kind of amalgamation of post-colonialist and mother earth hippyism that prevailed in the US in the 1960s and 1970s. I hope this fatuity doesn’t reflect the ideological basis of much of Israeli academia but I fear that I will be disappointed.

I think it’s great that you guys post some humor columns every once in a while. You can’t spend all your time on serious thought. Thanks for the laugh!

This kind of writing was really popular in America back in the 1970s. I’m glad to see it finally made it to Israel. Better late than never!

What a load of bullshit !

The main factor of life expectancy growth is on one hand the existence of public sanitation infrastructures and public health services, and on the other hand the absence of war or pandemia (such as plague and AIDS).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_expectancy

Life expectancy in Western Europe started to rise significantly in two phases, in the late 18th century when public sanitation slashed by three child death and in the early 20th century with public health services bettering longevity of adults.

I suggest you find something else than moronic post-colonial guilt to provide moral justification to a policy of open borders.
