The Jews have been suing for years and have received some.

I should go into German stores and demand everything on the shelf because of the Holocaust..I never hear anyone in the media demanding Germans pay reparations for what they did to the Jewish people

I think the Pharaohs of Egypt should pay reparations too, for the 400 years they kept the Israelis in Egypt.

However Germany did do reparations to Israel on their own.

Half of Israel’s early economy was funded by German reparations.

Why are whites the only slave owners alway targeted by reparations morons?

Slavery is still going on in other countries. Where are the demands to end slavery there, and have the slave owners give reparations?

Why not have Egypt pay reparations to Israel for slavery?

What about the Incas who enslaved other smaller groups of peoples? What about the entire history of slavery in the world? Genghis Khan? Muslims enslaving kaffir across the mideast and Africa?

Enough of this sh1t.

We can’t get over the crimes of the past if we are looking at Paydays for wrongs done long ago. I am Irish—should England pay me for the potatoe Famine? Should Italy pay England for making that Island part of their empire? i lost family in the Civil War—should Virginia pay me for their loss? It gets really stupid fast. Sorry, no pay days are coming and if their were—how much would be enough? One Million for every Black family? two Million? ten Million? let the past bury the past and look towards the future and earning your own millions!

More cant from the Yehudon Daily Forward, a publication for cultural Jews who like lox, but choose Marx over Moses.

Well; personally I think the Cro-Magnons should be required to not only pay reparations, but also should be charged with the genocide of the Neanderthals.

I live in California where slavery never existed. If reparations are ever to be paid to these mooches, shouldn't all Californians be exempt?

Actually, we should all be exempt as not one person alive in America today owned a slave and not one person alive in America was a slave. The very thought of it is as divisive as can be and only a black racist would consider it.

Should the Egyptians be charged reparations because they enslaved the Jews?

“I think the Pharaohs of Egypt should pay reparations too, for the 400 years they kept the Israelis in Egypt.”

The muzzies are way ahead of you. At Al-Azhar university in Cairo they took Exodus 12, 35-36 (plundering of Egyptians by the departing Hebrews) and calculated just how many trillions of dollars, with interest compounded since 1213 B.C., are owed to today’s Egyptians by today’s Israelis!

Egypt has tried twice to collect, in 1967 and in 1973. They’re still waiting.

Sure, right after the Egyptians give me reparations, the Romans give the English reparations, the English give the Irish reparations, lots of people give the Slavs reparations, etc.

So stupid.

Of course the reason that the Hebrews "despoiled the Egyptians" was as partial payment for their unpaid labor as slaves.

The Egyptians of that day may not have been alive if Joseph had not stored up the grain in advance of the seven years of famine, preventing their ancestors from starving to death.

Joseph was a Hebrew and an Israelite not a Jew since Jews are descended from his brother Judah. He was the Jews' Uncle Joe, much better than the man FDR called Uncle Joe.

Thanks for the clarification of names. I knew they were Hebrews in Egypt, Israelites in the kingdom, but I thought Jews were native to the Land of Judah. But it was Joseph’s brother Judah from whom Jews are descended? Interesting.

That’s right, the ancient Egyptians wouldn’t have survived seven years of famine without Joseph’s providence. Of course it is argued that the only inhabitants of modern Egypt who can claim direct lineage to Pharaonic Egypt are the Copts.

The rest are descended from Arabian Muslim invaders.

I’ve often tried to explain to the unteachable here how free Jews were in antebellum South and assimilated arguably more than anywhere since the diaspora......even excelling in agrarian life......specific Constitutional recognition and so forth

But this notion they owe jackshite is preposterous

Blacks owe us

Murder rape crime corruption etc which has a body count far beyond slavery and Crow
