Israel has obviously behaved in a horrifically evil manner, not just in the last three years but for many decades. It’s a supremacist state, a genocidal state. Many other supremacist states have existed, to varying degrees, genocidal states have existed, all of them bad.
On what basis is Mr. Lambert deeming that horrible state to be MORE evil than the Nazis?
I recently saw a couple of tweets by the Trump controlled US Department of State and by the highly esteemed (by Nazi sympathisers, lettuces and few others) former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss.
Both tweets said communism is the “most evil ideology” ever seen/on the planet (whatever you’re having yourself there).
Now you can argue the toss about communism being a fundamental failure to understand human nature or a hopelessly deluded ideology which created circumstances where it was much easier for evil bastards to thrive (I think I’d agree with those), you could argue it was very bad or very, very bad or I suppose you could even argue the ideology itself was inherently evil if you really wanted to do that, though I’d say anybody with a brain would think you were nuts if you wanted to do the last bit.
But it’s quite obvious what the Trump regime and Ms. Truss are trying to do here. When they say that communism is the most evil ideology ever created/on the planet, they’re trying to downplay the evil of the Nazis in the overall pantheon of evil. They’re slyly trying to rehabilitate the Nazis. Why? Because they’re trying to appeal to Nazis (as are Israel, incidentally).
And is it therefore not also obvious that Mr. Lambert is trying to do something similar?
The problem with propaganda nutters is they say things that look sensible (who could disagree with that?) to suck you in, then they mix in the really nutty stuff, and that nutty stuff gets normalised. We can see what Mr. Lambert is trying to normalise here. It’s the same thing the Trump regime and Liz Truss are trying to normalise.
Mr. Lambert is a noose around the neck of anybody who is genuinely horrified at the evil Israel has perpetrated on the Palestinian people, because he’s a shouty nutter in it for his own vainglory and his own ego who says stuff which downplays the evil of the Nazis.
