In reply to the discussion: Last night Butler Lawn, Columbia University: "We have Zionists who have entered the camp" [View all]Jedi Guy
(3,290 posts)It began with Judenfrei areas, areas where Jews were forbidden to go. Later on, the term meant areas that had been cleansed of Jewish presence, since those Jews had been sent to the extermination camps to be tortured and murdered.
Similarly, the Nazis (primarily the Sturmabteilung, the precursor to the Schutzstaffel) protested outside Jewish businesses, encouraging other Germans not to shop or do business there. Remind you of any of these protests, hmm? It's worth noting that later on, those "protests" became Kristallnacht.
It's also worth noting that one of the protesters told a Jewish student to "go back to Poland." Of all the nations in Europe, why do you suppose they specifically chose Poland, hm? You do realize, I hope, that many of the extermination camps were located in Poland, with Auschwitz-Birkenau being arguably the most infamous of them. There's also the Warsaw Ghetto.
So kindly spare me your deflection on this topic because I'm not interested in it. If these jackasses want to behave like baby Nazis, it's fair they be called out for it. If that hurts their tender feelings, perhaps they should adjust their behavior.
