Stalling By France and Germany in NATO is Really Anti-semitism

The real reason that France and Germany won't help the United States in securing freedom and an end to the terror of the Iraqi people by the ultimate terrorist Saddam Hussein is because any help for the United States indirectly helps the State of Israel.

Any military action action against Iraq, regardless of what country initiated it, would help Israel because Iraq is Israel's sworn enemy.

Since France has become a defacto radical Islamist terrorist state itself, and since we all know how Germany really feels about Jews, now it is clearer why these two countries specifically have abandoned the United States, a country that saved France in World War II with the lives of tens of thousands of young Americans.

The destruction of Israel is France's and Germany's most important foreign policy agenda. Before President Bush got elected, France and Germany believed that they were within earshot of Israel's complete destruction via the terrorist hoards of darkness that were increasingly encrouching on her sovereignty.

Since the United States has recently turned all that around, France and Germany now act like spoiled children who did not get their way in the destruction of another democracy (an idea certainly foreign to France and well on its way to becoming foreign to Germany), and now seek to punish the heroic capitalist nation of the United States in our heroic struggle to rid the world of communism, radical Islam and the other perversions that threaten global freedom.

The only just world is a free world. France and Germany intentionally stand in the way of the creation of a just and free world. That does not bode well for the heroic capitalist global struggle. Do not fret, capitalist brothers and sisters inside France and Germany. Your fellow heroic capitalists have not forgotten you, as we proved before on the beaches of D-Day, a heroic capitalist victory over the forces of evil.

That is an interesting way to agree with me that Germany and France are anti-semitic in their dealings with the current crisis in Iraq.

Thanks for the post.

i've poked fun of some of jedi's comments as of late, but i think there is something here.

Do you notice _nobody_ mentions that if we neutered Iraq it would cutoff a major source of funds and weapons for palestinian terrorists?

To me, this is the number one reason to remove Saddam. If we want peace in the middle-east in the near future, this _must_ happen. We must remove Saddam and at least contain Iran.

I have been suspecting that anti-Israel sympathy or plain apathy in europe is the reason why Bush and the gang aren't championing this.

It figures that over a year ago germany and france were begging America to "show leadership" in resolving the Israel/Palestine situation. Now we are ready to make real progress and they stand in the way.

If you are referring to the first post, I suggest someone backs up claims such as:

Quote:

Quote:

Give us some evidence for those two?

On the other hand, if one wants a serious discussion about these two countries' role in the ongoing conflict, one could start a serious thread about it.

I guess someone will, one of these days.

Okay and understood. But you see my point, I hope, that sometimes it seems hopeless if the thread starter always blames totalitarian matriarchal femi-nazis, commie leftist media, or envirocidal foam. Or whatever.

Maybe he should be given time to post some evidence for the two claims I quoted?

They're true interests are financial in nature. France has huge oil deals with Iraq, and German does too to a lesser extent. Russia has a great raquet selling arms to them as fast as we can blow them up.

Add some pasifistic socialism, a sprinkle of cowardice, and you have Franco/Hun/Commie **** sandwich.

This is so stupid. Germany gives billions of economic and military aid to Israel. Without the financial aid from Germany, Israel would have been bankrupt in the 50s. JK, explain to me how this is possible if Germany wants to destroy Israel.

Is that aid from the last German attempt to wipe the Jews out, or is it prepayment for this attempt ? lol.

Using the same logic, I could say that we all know how USA really feels about slavery.

Would you agree with this? It's the same kind of an argument that you're making, afterall.

Ridiculous.

Actually, no it is not. If the United States started slavery again, then it would be comparable to Germany's renewed offensive against the Israeli state with France. But since the United States is not re-kicking slavery, your paradox is invalid.

I'm just gonna ask one more thing:

So Germany and France can't disagree with USA or Israel's politics without becoming "offensive" to Israeli state?

But we all know that the US has secret anti-Jewish enclaves and merely wants to occupy Iraq so that it is in the perfect position to strike at Israel and destroy it for all time.

That's why they helped the Jews settle in Israel in the first place. They just wanted them all in the one area so they could be wiped out in one fell swoop.







Well, it makes as much sense as anything he says.
