AddReply(430505,"The Rothschilds","adamdalgliesh","Los Angeles, CA","04/30/09","Joel, the Rothschilds never \"secured\" the Suez Canal. It was taken over by Britain in 1882. The Rothschilds did not sponsor settlement activity in Palestine in order to \"secure\" the canal; nor did they withdraw their support because \" a friendly force and future supply lines in Palestine right next door was not so critical anymore.\" The Rothschilds were never a government or a military power. Their financial support for Jewish settlement in Palestine was a charitable enterprise; they made no profits from it, and certainly never aimed at obtaining military-strategic advantages (for whom?) from it. Nor did the Rothschilds \"give up\" financial aid to settlements in 1900, as you claim; Rothschild donations continue to support settlement activity to this day. \n\nThese falshoods reinforce the anti-Semitic libel that Jews possess vast power and are greedy.\n");

AddReply(430214,"Communism","Joel","Bet Shemesh","04/29/09","With all due respect post #1, I do not agree with the statement that Communism came into existence in the late 1880\'s. I was always under the assumption that it started in the early 1900\'s due to a revolt against the czar. If my thinking is wrong, please explain why.I enjoy learning. Thank you and chag somayach");
AddReply(430184,"communists shaped immigration","emmess","Canada","04/29/09","It seems to me that Herzl\'s chevre tried to shape Israel\'s society from a communist/intelligentsia perspective. The eschewed the poor and downtrodden Jews of eastern Europe hoping instead for the educated classes like themselves. Unfortunately for them, the war intervened sending Jewish refugees into \"Palestine\" and the 48 war saw an influx of Jews from Arab countries. So much for the Marxist utopia.");

AddReply(429995,"Perception is not Reality","Rifkah","Oakland","04/28/09","Thank you, Mr. Bainerman, for separating the truth from the propaganda. Unfortunately the global socialist and communist party lines have taken over the media and turned night into day and black into white. This successful tactic was promoted by Goebbels in the interests of Germany’s Nazi party prior to and during World War II and the regime of USSR’s Pravda at its height. It flourished and took over the world media to the exclusion of almost all other dogma. Revisionism reigns and truth is virtually extinct. (Let’s not forget Islam’s “Takeiya.) The U.S.A. is spending its way out of debt (isn’t that an oxymoron?), their banks are on their way to nationalization, and their new president is hailed by some as the new “Messiah.” Watch out, chicken little. The sky has fallen.");

The secular and socialist and askenazi did, and that is the fact. They could not do it alone or maintain it alone, but they were its main strength and focus. Secular and Socialist, but let\'s not forget Jabotinsky a secular, socialist I don\'t know.");
AddReply(429705,"palestine started out for refugees & socialism came out of community not ideolog","zionist forever","","04/28/09","There may have been many wealthy investors but the main reason for zionism in the late 19th & early 20th century was not based on ideals or economics it was to escape anti sematism in Europe\n\nHertzel himself was not originally looking for a jewish state he was looking to a solution from the persecution.\nHis original thinking was that all jews should convert to christianity if the pope could protect them from persecution\nIts after the Drayfus affair in France that he started to think differently and realised jews would never be allowed to be able to escape persecution in Europe.\n\nIts not till the early years of the 20th century that zionism became an ideology instead of a refuge.\n\nSocialism also didn\'t develop out of ideology but rather natural evoloution for practical purposes.\nMost the olim were poor refugees, they developed their own small comunities & pooled recources for practicality");
AddReply(429620,"this is interesting, but...","yvonne","cary","04/27/09","communism was well established in Russia in the late 1800\'s and also in Hungary and elsewhere. It became more prominent in the early 1900\'s. I know this from stories of familymembers who said that they were members early on (they were born in the late 1800\'s) but soon changed their minds on it. They also said it was very difficult to get rid of communist associations after one left the party. Capitalists and private entrepreneurship may have redeemed the land, but not all who settled there early on could have been entrepreneurs and capitalists, I assume. I would like to know more about this. ");
