    I'll wager the Israelis might just pip the Palestinians when it comes to kills.
    FFS, what do you want the Israelis to do? Volunteer for mass euthanasia? As a Major in the reserve IDF once told me " if we did the Christian thing & turn the other cheek everytime they, (the Arabs) attacked us, they would rip our head off!"
    Ever since Israel was formed with the blessing of the UN, the Pals & assorted Arab nations have threatened & tried several times, to wipe them off the map! The latest proponent is Iran, who funds, trains & supplies both Hamas & Hezbollah!
    The Israelis aren't perfect but they did give back all the settlements in Gaza a few years back. Did that stop the rocket & suicide bombings? Did it f**k!
    What is your solution, reform the einsatzgruppen and finish the job Hitler started? From your posts it sounds like it! IMHO there will never be peace unless the Islamic Arabs have a massive change in their thinking & from their actions so far I see no sign of that!!

    Happy to discuss when you've calmed down. Any more silly outbursts about Einsatzgruppen will see you added to my naughty list.

    No need for that.

    They're all as bad as each other & there's nothing a non-persistent nerve agent spread between about 20W and 75E and 15 and 40N wouldn't solve

    Anybody who could imagine the holocaust happening without a long history of virulent Christian anti-semitism is deluded. The core of doctrinare Nazis professed bur really they just did some rebranding of central European folk beliefs. It did actually get pretty "manifest" as they became a mass movement in that they went so far as to reinvent Jesus as an anti-semite in their Positives Christentum.

    Enough already with the tired "mushroom cloud over US city" bullshit. We've done very little to secure the Russian stockpiles that are the most vulnerable, we even cut the funding for that after 9-11. These guys clearly can't even organize a decent truck bombing campaign. We are still far more likely to have an accidental nuclear exchange thanks to DC and the Kremlin still being on a hair trigger.
    That's the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on!

    Actually, it was you who first spoke in such terms, in your reference to 'jackboots and schmeissers' above. Nobody had called you a Nazi so there was not need to start claiming they had.

    Well don't say you don't get your money's worth. Interesting that usage - it's the first time I've seen it like that in a Nazi context; looks like the brand department slipped up.

    Arguably it was when you started lobbing snippy comments in about me being "allergic to sidelocks and funny hats". A way of invoking Godwins Law without using the term "nazi".

    Anyway, this is all a bit dull.

    It was like that when I got here.

    If you can't take a joke, you shouldn't have joined.

    Thanks for that - both your examples seem to be circa 33-34 - anything later because, if not, that suggests a deliberate change and it would be interesting to know and even more interesting to know why. Agree that it's a question for the militaria thread and not here though.
