“You implied it by extension.
I didn’t imply any such thing.”
I beg to differ. You are sadly deficient if you don’t see the implication of your own words.
“You are simply rude and insulting. “
“You’re a syncophant of the Hamas butchers, and trying to sugarcoat the muslims in Gaza.”
Pot. Kettle.
“I have a German ancestry. Are you insinuating that Germans are the same as muslim Arabs?”
Islam wants other peoples to submit to Islam. Do you think Germans want others to submit to them. BS.
I am not insinuating anything about present-day Germans. I am saying that Nazi Germans in that time were the same as present-day Islamic extremists, be they Arabs, Iranians, Pakistani, Sudanese or Indonesian. Instead of racial superiority, they ascribe to religious superiority, which might have been alright if they didn’t believe, as the Nazis did, that their supposed superiority gives them license to mass murder, enslave and subjugate.
“You gloss over what really happened prior and during WWII, saying Germans and Japanese had delusions of racial superiority. Not so.”
Yawn. Go read a history book.
“The German leadership under Hitler rallied troops who felt humiliated by the outcome of WWI. “
And therefore, as people who feel humiliated and frustrated will do, grasped onto an ideology that gave them a sense of purpose into which they can lose their individuality and sacrifice everything for the sake of a mythical tomorrow. In the case of the Nazis, this was the theory of genetic superiority. They were Nieztche’s “ubermenschen” who must eliminate and/or enslave the “untermenschen,” i.e., the Jews, Gypsies, Slavs and negroes to whom they were supposedly racially superior.
The catalyst for this mass movement was the humiliation following WW II and hyperinflation, and the humiliating French looting of the Ruhr Valley coal mines, and heavy unemployment, etc. Read Eric Hoffer’s True Believer for an explanation of this phenomenon. It’s short, illuminating, and brilliant.
“The Japanese military leaders likewise wanted retribution against Chinese for past Chinese military campaigns and Chinese delusions of racial superiority against Japan.”
LOL. China last attempted to invade Japan during the reign of Kublah Khan. That military campaign? They never managed to pull it off due to the Kami Kaze, or holy wind. “Retribution” For that?
“European and Asian peoples have had many battles between neighbors for thousands of years.”
You’re comparing the Napoleonic wars and the 100-years war to the Blitzkrieg, the Holocaust, and the Rape of Nanking. Good luck with that.
“You can’t appease Muslim Arabs and expect them to embrace Israelis as friends. Naive, will not happen.”
Jews and Muslims have a relationship spanning a millennium and a half. Jews and Arabs developed simultaneously, and their relationship pre-dates Mad Mo and his marauders by millennia. These are complicated relationships. Pontificate all you want, but you don’t know a damned thing about Jews, Arabs, or Muslims.
“You can’t appease Muslim Arabs and expect them to embrace Israelis as friends. Naive, will not happen.”
“Appease”? I am talking about DEFEATING them, not appeasing them, and then using that defeat as leverage to de-IslamoNazi-fy them. I do have Arab friends from when I lived in Judah and Samaria. Now that I live in the Galilee, I note that Jews and Arabs live together here in more-or-less harmony, interacting positively on the streets and in the supermarkets.
Do not believe the BS MSM version of reality. Real news is a daily happening, and doesn’t occur on TV, in which they only notice Israel when somebody gets killed or maimed.
Here’s some history that might interest you if you’re too lazy to read a book. Even if you do read, these are worth listening to.

“The catalyst for this mass movement was the humiliation following WW II” should be “WW I”. Typo.
I’m done with you. I have read plenty of books, and it’s crazy that you continue to throw out insults. You are rude. I only responded in kind after your first post to me. Go reread it.
“The catalyst for this mass movement was the humiliation following WW II”. I stated WWI. What, you don’t make mistakes?
My father played an instrumental role as part of the U.S. occupation forces in Japan, an officer responsible for the needs of thousands of Japanese immediately after WWII. Even correspondence with MacArthur. He was there for 4 years, and did not sense any animosity by Japanese towards him. The Japanese did not exhibit racial superiority, or a license to mass murder and enslavement. Contrast that to muslim Arabs in Gaza who celebrated with glee at the enslavement and torture of Israeli victims. What, you didn’t hear about that? They want you to die!
As for Japan/China conflicts, Chinese repeatedly had conflicts and mistreated Japanese. They would kidnap Japanese women, tie them outside their boats while attacking Japanese. Innocent Japanese women, tortured by Chinese. You think that doesn’t deserve retribution? The animosity goes back hundreds of years.
Read a book yourself.
