Americans Usually Support Ethnic Cleansing When Their Government Does

November 23, 2019

The purpose of ethnic cleansing is often misrepresented as being just a bigoted majority venting their common hatred against some minority, but it’s actually a crime by the state — that is, by the Government, the rulers — in order to get rid of enough of its opponents there so as to be able to remain in power ‘democratically’ — that is, by means of popular elections. It’s a means for a dictatorship to call itself a ‘democracy’ and to be believed by enough of its public and its foreign allies to be that so as for the Government to be respected as being a “democracy” even though it’s actually only a ‘democracy’ — a nation that’s ruled by dictators but that claims to be, and is widely (falsely) believed to be, a democracy. Several examples will be cited here, and all of these ethnic cleansings are by regimes that the American regime backs, and that America’s population widely respects and supports, as is indicated by numerous polls of Americans. Exceptions to the rule will also be noted and explained (because sometimes the US Government has not sufficiently carried out its opinion-management in order for its public to be sufficiently fooled about the matter, and therefore more intensive propaganda occasionally becomes necessary):

The paradigmatic and longest-standing case is Israel, which was formed by ethnic cleansing that Jews there had perpetrated against Muslims there and that was ‘justified’ by an ethnic cleansing that Christians in Europe had perpetrated (called “the Holocaust”) against Jews there. As the 1976 masterpiece by Grosser & Halperin, Anti-Semitism: The Causes and Effects of a Prejudice, said in its chapter “The Crusades, 1000-1348,” “Jewish existence was one of almost continual terror. Jews throughout Europe regularly experienced attacks, slaughter, extortion, kidnap, ransom, forced baptism and confiscation of property by the [Roman Catholic] Church, the state, and mobs.” But the Holocaust was the super-pogrom; and, though masterminded from Germany, it was being carried out everywhere that Hitler reigned. After the war, Muslims in what was then Palestine paid the price and became the Christian-approved victims of Jews who were escaping from Christian lands. Thus started the American and European Christian-approved ethnic cleansing of Muslims in Palestine. It wasn’t nearly as much due to any hatred that Jews felt for Muslims, as it was due to Jews wanting to live in a democracy where they would be the majority. The fascist Jews took over there, because clearing the land of its natives requires conquest and violence, and, in modern times, people who like to do that are commonly called “fascists.”

Although the Allied anti-Axis powers of Soviet Union, UK. US, and France, had publicly and passionately condemned Adolf Hitler’s attempted extermination of Jews throughout Christian-majority Europe, those Christian-majority nations refused to provide and fund refuge and welcome to more than token numbers of fleeing Jews, and so millions of them fled to what became Israel and needed to eliminate Muslims there in order to call their new and imposed Jewish Government a ‘democracy’ and thus become approved in America and Europe. This necessitated, on the part of those Jews, an extensive ethnic-cleansing of Muslims there. It’s well-documented, such as here and here and here and here and here. Furthermore, during the 1930s, zionists considered themselves to be fascists, and fascists in both Germany and Italy considered zionists to be Jewish fascists, ideological brothers of both Italy’s and Germany’s fascists (Christianity’s fascists). And Albert Einstein and other prominent progressive Jews in the US after World War II described as “fascists” Menachem Begin and Yitzhak Shamir, both of whom subsequently became elected by Israel’s Jews to lead Israel. And yet the US Government backed them, not only when Begin and Shamir were leading massacres of Arab villages in the 1940s, but when both men became Israel’s leaders in the 1970s, ’80s, and ’90s — and afterward, under their political follower Benjamin Netanyahu: clearly, a racist-supremacist apartheid regime ever since its founding, a regime which defines the supreme group, “Jew,” not only by religion, but by descent; that is, racially. Under US President Harry S. Truman, the America and the world that his predecessor Franklin Delano Roosevelt (who was against the formation of a Jewish state, and who also was opposed to Winston Churchill’s and Dwight Eisenhower’s urgings for a war against the Soviet Union) had sought and carefully planned, abruptly ended. Truman thus was one of the worst Presidents in American history, though he followed immediately after one of the two greatest, FDR (the other being Abraham Lincoln, who, likewise, was immediately followed by conservatives who were failures as far as justice and the public’s welfare were concerned — ending in the 1929 crash, which brought FDR to power just as slavery had earlier brought Lincoln to power).
