Leftist sympathy for the Palestinians

Historian Bob Weinberg traces the roots

Yawn, not interested in wading through one of your cut and paste jobs.

After starting and losing World War I, the unpopularity of Kaiser Wilhelm II extended far beyond German Jews.

As far as the Arabs are concerned, all of Israel is less than one percent of all Arab land. If the Arabs do not like the state of Israel that is just too bad.

The Kaiser didn't start WWI. The Jewish Socialists did really screw Germany though... and their brethren paid for it.

again, look at the Crusades. All those crusaders wanted was a sliver of land. Didn't keep it though, did they?

All the Israelis want to do is to live in peace on a tiny sliver of land bordering the Mediterranean Sea. That tiny sliver makes up less than one percent of all Arab land.

Then they need to find a sliver of land where they are actually welcome.

Kaiser Wilhelm II started World War I when he declared war on Russia. In doing so he changed what had been a local conflict restricted to the Balkans to a war involving all of Europe. I am surprised that you did not learn that majoring in history.

You should have also learned that Jews did not dominate the German Social Democratic Party at the time. Anyway, claiming that "Jewish Socialists" somehow caused the Holocaust means that you are worse than a Holocaust denier; you are a Holocaust approver.

Arabs were able to expel the Crusaders because the Arab world was at the time united, and the most advanced civilization to the west of China. It may have been the most advanced civilization in the world. Europe was climbing out of the Dark Ages.

Currently history has bypassed the Arab world. It is not coming back. When cost effective, environmentally benign alternatives are developed to replace petroleum the Arab world will be even less powerful than it is now.

Finally, most Arab countries are learning that they have more important concerns than the well being of the Palestinians.

Most people have no brain function. Whatever the media tells them to do and think they do and think.

By siding the Palestinians, leftists in Europe and the United States expose their hostility to European civilization.

European civilization nurtured the Left. The dichotomy between left and right originated during the French Revolution. When the French National Assembly was viewed from the rear, delegates for the monarchy, the established Roman Catholic Church, and the aristocracy sat on the right. Delegates for the Commons sat on the left.

When Karl Marx lived in London he was never harassed by the police. He did most of his research for Das Kapital for free, in the Reading Room of the British Museum.

This should be said of the Palestinians. No one wants them.
