No it doesn't suggest exclusivity. The UK is often described as a Christian country but that doesn't stop non-Christians living here and being citizens with the same rights free to practice whatever religion they want. Same applies to Israel. Unfortunately there are many countries in the world where this isn't the case.I asked because you described Israel as a Jewish state which suggests exclusivity. I don't know why you subsequently ask me - other than a rather dim-witted attempt to WUM - whether I think Israel should exist.

I think that judging by his lack of response to me that he got himself a bit confused as he thought he had some kind of point and has shuffled off now.No it doesn't suggest exclusivity.

Back to Livingstone, does it matter that he's suspended in all reality? He's been in and out of the official Labour Party before. He's not getting any younger and his power is dwindling. I can't think too many see him as a serious politician these days.

The thing that put the final nail in his coffin was when he got support from Galloway which pretty much guaranteed that what he said was objectionable to most people.I think that judging by his lack of response to me that he got himself a bit confused as he thought he had some kind of point and has shuffled off now.

Didn't Hitler decide to kill the Jews only when America entered the war thus making it a global conflict which he had alluded to in 1939
I know Adolf Eichmann worked with Zionists pre war to encourage emigration. Obviously Nazis can't be Zionists but they shared the same goal, before the policy became extermination?

It just beggars belief that the labour party have the likes of Livingston, Abbot and shah. It must be obvious to everyone that they're going to say things that are divisive and damaging.
It could be far far worse, imagine thinking Cameron, IDS, May, Hunt, Blo Job, Gidiot, Crabb, Grove, Morgan, Letwin, Priti Patel etc etc were remotely in touch with reality.

The nazis started murdering Jews immediately after the start of the war. They made the decision to exterminate every Jew in Europe in early 1942 at the Wannsee conference however hundreds of thousands had already been murdered by then.

Mein Kampf was published in the 1920s. As prestwich mentioned earlier, he* made his views clear in that book. It made perfect sense, in political terms, to blame America.

Jews were being killed in numbers almost as soon as the Germans invaded Russia in June 1941 plus the decision to commence mass killings using gas chambers was probably taken at around the same time. America being in the war certainly made it politically easier for the Nazis to carry out the Holocaust but the decision had been taken well before that.
