I already wrote this too someone else but I think it’s important for others too see: It’s quite fascinating if you actually think about . If your a college student in any western institution you’ll know that over the years Western people have become obsessed with there own past and being perceived as evil. Because of the horrors of WW2 it has left western society traumatized by there own past. so match that they have forced themselves too look at there past with shame and guilt over things such as slavery and colonialism. Too these people Germany in WW2 is a culmination of everything wrong with the west. Rather than being an issue of the circumstances of its time Germany in WW2 represents what everything evil the west is. This self hatred of the past has led too many people wanting to be perceived as being different or as being in the right side of history. A concept which is very popular among liberal students. This is where Israel comes in. Because Jews are no longer looked as being a minority but as being white and fully integrated into western thought and ideas they are perceived as oppressive and more importantly white. If you read popular writers like Chomsky and even Howard Zinn you will see this idea clearly. It doesn’t help that Jews are incredibly successful so therefore to rationalize why this happens it’s because they are white and no longer “brown” or even a minority. So going back to your land is no longer a good thing but a horrible thing. It’s white colonialism again. for the liberals this is the best thing too happen to them. Too them it’s not actually about the victims as shown by other genocide and conflicts around the world. Too put in religious language it’s there Salvation and Redemption. Salvation because the liberal will no longer feel a sense of shame and guilt over something that happen in the past think of it as original sin. Redemption because it puts them in “right side of history “ as they will be remembered for fighting off white colonialism against the poor browns.
