Historians: Warsaw Ghetto Uprising Was Overreaction

Europe 's view of the present Israeli offensive against Hezbollah as an "overreaction" and "disproportionate use of force" is rooted in relatively recent history, say progressive researchers. In 1943, Europe itself suffered from a similar Jewish overreaction to some controversial German policies, in an event known as the , when Zionist radicals attacked the that was loved by the German people for its far-reaching educational and social welfare services.

In fact, many academics who teach Peace Studies at prestigious universities believe that it was the Zionists' "disproportionate use of force" that had ruined hopes for peace in Europe and caused a humanitarian crisis that could have easily been avoided if only Jews had shown restraint and tolerance towards the democratically elected German government.



In fact, the reaction of world's media to the current Middle Eastern crisis is almost identical to that during the 1943 Warsaw crisis when, as modern historians claim, militant Zionists jeopardized the fragile peace that European leaders and progressive intellectuals had been trying to achieve by civilized means - as evidenced by the following collection of quotes and headlines of the time.



Indeed, those who forget the lessons of history are doomed to repeat them.

And don't forget later in the war when we rashly invaded France on the beaches of Normandy. Why, we weren't even at war with France! The New York Times was the first to sound the call for peace and a cease-fire so that we could negotiate with the National Socialists and bring an honorable end to the war. Thank goodness our leaders followed that advice. Just imagine what the world would have been like if we'd continued with all that fighting?
 

Our Comrades at arms are the real heros of the Great Patriotic War! Hail Comrade Stalin! Our Man of Steel!
 

Glad to see DEMs total support of Hezbollah. With our House and Senate apparently getting out of GW's control in 2007, unlike 1940s US should be able to back the peace-loving side (Hezbites) - who are dedicated to fill the world with peace, human rights, justice and free love for all.
 

Hitler got it all wrong....
 

Your alleged Goebbels-Quote are almost identical to what "Poticial Experts" are saying on German TV right now in 2006. Germany is becoming a scary place - again.
 

How to cheapen the suffering of Jews
a hands-on manual with examples from a progressive website

Perhaps because our Warsaw Ghetto Uprising story was referenced in several comments at , it is now also being discussed at the left-wing progressive site that claims to be "Keeping an eye on those rabid racists at Little Green Footballs."

We have posted a screenshot of the discussion - in case the LGF Watch comrades see this comment and decide to clean up their act:
http://lgfwatch.blogspot.com/2006/08/ho ... -jews.html

Dear comrades at LGF Watch! The Politburo appreciates your zeal, and while you correctly establish all the true progressive viewpoints about the lying Jews and the hatred of "hate mongering diatribes meant to enlave [sic] and control and brain wash," need we remind you that such rhetoric should be limited to the select inner circle - where it cannot be overheard? For external use the Party recommends polite and high-brow faking of love, tolerance and acceptance while acting as victims and generating a reasonable amount of healthy guilt in the audiences. Remember: the truth is a precious commodity and has to measured carefully!

Now look at what you did. The discussion has run amok and is likely to scare away any potential converts to the Party line, as they won't know who exactly are the liars and the hate mongers here, let alone who is really out to cheapen the suffering of Jews.


***********************************
Ay ay ay! Well, comrades, consider your vodka and potatoes rationing coupons revoked until further notice. To enforce the Party discipline the Politburo must sentence you to self-criticism sessions of various lengths. Report to the nearest Kommissar. Bring warms clothes and a shovel.

Actually, Adolf Hitler was named Time Magazine's Man of the Year in 1938. Henry Ford gave Hitler $30 grand every year for his birthday, the US business community loved Hitler and Mussolini, IBM and Coca-cola did business with him (Shasta Orange is the Nazi soda), not to mention the America First Committe which was committed to keeping America out of Hitler's way, which was headed by Sears & Roebuck CEO Robert E. Wood, and whose members included Republican Senator Gerald P. Nye and future Republican President Gerald Ford. And who can forget Father Coughlin's radio commentary, when he ruthlessly attacked Jews in equal fury that he attacked FDR and the New Deal, and such "crazy ideas" as a minimum wage.

Fascism: A system of government that exercises a dictatorship of the extreme right, typically through the merging of state and business leadership, together with belligerent nationalism." - American Heritage Dictionary, 1983
 

Dear Comrade Alva!

Welcome to the Gulag outpatient program of Karl Marx Treatment Center. Have you met all the patients yet? We hope you'll feel quite at home here.

We're glad you bring up the fascism-communism dichotomy here. If it's not communism, it's gotta be fascism, right? You're making your Kommissar proud.

You're following all the correct steps in making a strong progressive argument! That includes accusing US capitalists in being friendly with the Nazi Germany while omitting that many US capitalists were also friends with Lenin, Stalin, and the USSR (Armand Hammer of Occidental Petroleum and others). It should only be known in the inner Party circle, that Stalin himself at some point was friendly with Hitler and supported him all the way until June 22, 1941 when Hitler attacked the USSR. The NY Times and many liberals too supported Stalin (look up Walter Duranty and his Pulitzer-winning reports from Russia of the time). And when Stalin issued a directive to kiss Hitler's butt, the International Left opened their chapsticks. They are currently doing exactly the same with Ahmadinejad, but that's a different story (or is it?).

But wait, if the Times liked Stalin, and Stalin liked Hitler then... Oops. Hey, we don't have to connect ALL the dots, right? If we invented this logic, we can also choose when to follow it and when not. It's the right-wingers who must follow logic and all the stupid rules all the time. But we, the enlightened progressives who fight for The Greater Good™, are allowed to rearrange the reality, lie, exaggerate, conceal, and slander because it's all justified by the outcome when The Greater Good™ is finally achieved. Just like our progressive comrades for are allowed to use deception with infidels, especially if they live in the West.

Thanks for the warm welcome.
Indeed Hitler was a fascist, and a madman to boot. I'm not sure what his treaty with the Soviets have to do with anything, or the US being allies with the Soviets in fighting Germany (who had declared war on both of them). It wouldn't be the last time the US made nice with some unseemly (cough cough Saddam cough cough) friends. I'm also not quite sure what Muhammad Amadinthehead has to do with anything, except that his election is proof that if the biggest military in the world calls your reformist-leaning nation an “axis of evil” you will run to the hills and elect the biggest bellicose freak you can to protect you. Of course, the US has a wonderful track record when it comes threatening Iran. The last time we overthrew their government we kicked out their democracy and put a dictator named the Reza Pahlevi in place. Well you know what they say about dictators….they're reliable….unlike those pesky elections where they elect the wrong puppet. Damn those free elections!

It is news to me that Islamists are progressives. Give Pat Robertson a turban and you get….oh never mind.

“The…party…assembled…again declares its faith, appeals to its history, and announces its position upon the questions before the country…We are opposed to further grants of the public lands to CORPORATIONS and MONOPOLIES, and DEMAND that the NATIONAL DOMAIN be set apart for FREE HOMES for the PEOPLE. Among the questions which press for attention is that which concerns the relations of CAPITAL AND LABOR, and the…party recognizes the DUTY of so shaping legislation as to secure FULL PROTECTION…for labor—THE CREATOR OF CAPITAL” - excerpts from the Republican Party Platform of 1872

Everbody knows about the Shah of Iran, who cares about Pat Robertson, but what was Tilden's platform? This I'm dying to know! .....oh and yes, another stolen election by Republicans....get over it and grab a life while you can Ms. Nitwit. Nice blogspeck BTW, your one hit today was me.

I believe there are incidents of overreaction in American history as well, comrades. Take, for example, when American capitalists, tired of being taxed (for the greater good of course) by their British government, threw tea overboard in Boston harbor, and then Amerikkkan farmers attacked the British peacekeepers and started a war what they called a "revolution." It was not a true revolution of course, as it did not bring a great future of socialism to the new country. Nevertheless, Amerikkka was born out of an overreaction to taxes.

Another instance, is more recent. For decades in the first half of the 20th century, the Japanese people had been oppressed by the Western imperialists, who had established colonies in Asia. The Japanese emperor and his government began a policy of liberating Asian countries, such as China, Indochina, and the Pacific islands. Just as the peaceful Muslim freedom fighters today fight for a worldwide greater Islamic cailphate, the Japanese fought for a Greater Co-Prosperity Sphere and began to liberate Asian lands from the Western oppressors. When the American government stationed warships at Pearl Harbor in a move to provoke the peaceful Japanese government, the misunderstood and desperate Japanese had to attack the Amerikkkan ships on December 7, 1941. The Amerikkkans overreacted to the attack, and waged a total war with their imperialist allies that destroyed the empire the peace loving Hirohito had worked so hard to create.

includes a poll with the question:

"Do you think this parody is a valid critique of the editorial stance of today's NY Times?"

so far, thepeoplescube's satire appears vindicated with "Yes" @ 62% versus "No" @32% :



Vote early & vote often, comrades!
 

I'll vote.
Have a good day! ^^
 

Comrade Rainbow, of course you will vote. You will vote early, and you will vote often. All in accordance with the wishes of your ACORN handlers.
 

Comrades, this is to beautiful for words.
 

Oi vei, those Jews are always overreacting!
Just look at my wife. Every time I have to pay the Party Dues she screams bloody murder that I take food away from our children, that they have not seen black caviar for over 3 months, because I "waist family money on this bunch of shmucks". You better believe what The New York Pravda prints!
 

I like this place, it's interesting. The people's cube!
 

Welcome, new friend astonjon. Here the cube is in all its carmine glory, boldly thrusting a stern and powerful proletarian chin into the dawn of the glorious world of next Tuesday. Feel free to pay your party dues and snoop around.
 

When the above spoof of the NYT front page was first published, we were being chided for "going over the top" by suggesting that the prog media's denunciation of Israel's 2006 intervention in Lebanon was the equivalent of the New York Times saying in 1943 that the Jewish uprising against the Nazis in Warsaw was an overreaction. As it turns out, we were even more on target than we had imagined.

In this from October 30, 2013, a young historian from New York named Anna Blech makes a convincing indictment of Arthur Hays Sulzberger and the New York Times, who deliberately downplayed the Holocaust by concealing reports that could have saved thousands if not more during WWII.


This is more than just life imitating the People's Cube. And we here thought that the progs today have become too absurd to spoof. It now appears they had always been like this, they just know how to rewrite history too well.

We should be careful about what we spoof next; any random satire can easily turn out to be a hair-raising reality.
