Titolo: perche' il vittimismo (di Luca Logi, p. es.) e' molto pericoloso

Holocaust Remembrance Day always falls during the week that follows
Passover. At first glance, the two would seem to have little in common
— one memorializes the millions of European Jews annihilated by Nazi
Germany; the other commemorates the deliverance of the Jews from
slavery in ancient Egypt.
 
Yet for all their obvious differences, a fundamental similarity links
these two crucial chapters in Jewish history. Both were attempts at
genocide — and in both cases the perpetrators justified their
savageries by claiming that they were the real victims, threatened by
the people they intended to wipe out.
 
At the Passover Seder, retelling the 3,000-year-old story, Jews read
the passage from Exodus in which Pharaoh rationalizes the lethal
repression he is about to inflict on the Hebrews. “Come, let us deal
wisely with them,” he declares. “Otherwise they may become so many
that if there is a war they will join our enemies, fight against us,
and leave the land.” His notion of dealing wisely: slave labor,
followed by mass murder. “Then Pharaoh commanded all his people,
‘Every boy that is born to the Hebrews, you shall throw into the
Nile.’ ”
 
Thirty centuries later, the same pattern preceded the Holocaust.
 
“The Jewish people stands against us as our deadly foe,” railed Adolf
Hitler in 1922, “and will so stand against us always.” More than
100,000 Jews had served in the German army during World War I; 12,000
had fallen in battle. Yet Germany’s defeat was blamed on a “stab in
the back” by disloyal traitors — especially the Jews. To this baseless
libel the Nazis added others, such as the grotesque claim of race
defilement. “The Jews were responsible for bringing Negroes into the
Rhineland with the ultimate idea of bastardizing the white race,”
Hitler seethed in “Mein Kampf.” Such a villainous enemy could be shown
no tolerance and given no quarter: “It must be the hard-and-fast
‘Either-Or.’ ”
 
Within weeks of coming to power, the Nazis launched the reign of
terror that would culminate in the Final Solution. At every step,
their crimes against the Jews were described as self-defense. “The
Jews of the whole world are trying to destroy Germany,” screamed
government posters as the Nazis unleashed a boycott of Jewish-owned
businesses. “German people, defend yourselves!” In every issue of Der
Stürmer, the Nazi newspaper published for more than 20 years by
Hitler’s ally Julius Streicher, a front-page banner proclaimed: “The
Jews are Our Misfortune.”
 
Down through the millennia, this has been the model for the most
virulent, violent anti-Semitism. Jews were depicted, facts and logic
to the contrary notwithstanding, as victimizers. Then they were
victimized with astonishing ferocity and inhumanity.
 
In her magisterial history of the 14th century, “A Distant Mirror,”
Barbara W. Tuchman describes how readily the outbreak of the Black
Death was blamed on the Jews — and with what murderous results:
 
“On charges that they were poisoning the wells, with intent ‘to kill
and destroy the whole of Christendom and have lordship over all the
world,’ the lynchings began in the spring of 1348 on the heels of the
first plague deaths. The first attacks occurred in Narbonne and
Carcassonne, where Jews were dragged from their houses and thrown into
bonfires. . . . The charges drew a picture of an international Jewish
conspiracy emanating from Spain, with messengers from Toledo carrying
poison in little packets [and] rabbinical instructions for sprinkling
the poison in wells and springs.”
 
The Jews’ defenders, including Pope Clement, pointed out that these
were demented lies. Yet so powerful was the fury against them, and so
avid the hunger to believe them guilty of every bad thing, that
thousands were slaughtered or dispossessed.
 
Anti-Semitism is mankind’s oldest hatred, irrational, obsessive, and
seemingly indestructible. Ayaan Hirsi Ali, the Somali-born activist
whose childhood was spent in Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia, and Kenya,
recalls being instructed “practically on a daily basis that Jews were
evil, the sworn enemies of Muslims whose only goal was to destroy
Islam.” She grew up hearing Jews blamed for everything from AIDS to
war; “if we ever wanted to know peace and stability,” she was taught,
“we would have to destroy them before they would wipe us out.”
 
The Jew-haters always see themselves as victims, and their victimhood
becomes their license to persecute. It is a phenomenon as old as the
pharaohs and as contemporary as Al Qaeda. Hitler took it to an
unprecedented scale. But while Hitler died in 1945, genocidal Jew-
hatred lives on.

certo che lo Zanardo che predica di vittimismo fa alquanto sorridere, eh

 certo che
 
se Logi leggesse gli articoli a cui vuole rispondere, prima di metter
mano alla tastiera... Ma niente, non ce ne e', deve per forza
scarabocchiare qualcosa contro gli ebrei, contro Israele o contro il
sottoscritto, che ha la sventura di incarnare ai suoi occhi i due
archetipi del Male. E cosi' Logi si fa prendere dalla foga, e scrive
prima di pensare.

Zanardo Andrea, io non odio nessuno, e la diffido dall'usare nuovamente
i termini diffamatori che lei usa nei miei confronti.

.
E inoltre non ti e' mai capitato di leggere qualcuno che definisce
"amorevoli esecuzioni"  episodi come questo 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-CnSO6Xj40
 
Hai pero'  qualche problema con il vocabolario. Giacche' definisci
"pogrom" episodi come questo 
http://tinyurl.com/bw7yp77
 ma non quello
di cui sopra e anche a proposito di Kielce, non sappiamo se per te sia
un pogrom. Nemmeno se esista un diritto degli ebrei a difendersi da
violenze dei non ebrei. Sei infatti convinto che il sionismo debba
essere "superato".
Ma non odi nessuno.
 

 Ma certo. Sei solo preoccupato
 
Zanardo, dopo il tuo post dove mi hai accusato di pregare per la tua
scomparsa (cosa assolutamente falsa e diffamatoria), non sei in
condizione di dare indicazioni etiche e morali a nessuno.

 scomparsa (cosa assolutamente falsa e diffamatoria),
 
sai, quando si scopre che episodi come questo vengono addirittura
celebrati...

Puoi dimostrarlo?
