You seem to somehow say I am misconstruing the word disappear, but everyone that was part of the Etzel/Lehi is either dead or dying. The organization itself does not exist for so many decades in no meaningful way, that I really feel I

If in the 70 years that passed there was no longer Lehi or Etzel, then these organizations disappeared. If they became part of a nation army, divided across the different units, and most of their men discharged after the war, then these org

That's completely incorrect by the way, most of Israel of that time was socialist (or communist) and supported the left wing parties behind Haganah and the Palmach. You can easily see it in the size of the political parties and relevan

The fact is that the extreme organizations in Israel were the absolute minority and when push came to shove, they were subdued and integrated. Hence the state has successfully enforced its monopoly on violence. When the same thing could hav

The Irgun was forcibly integrated into the IDF, claiming dead and almost triggering a civil war. Something the Palestinians could never muster, and one of the reasons they are still in this position, stateless under the control of Hamas

No, antisemitism is historically based on shifting blame and scapegoating. That's why the nazis were blaming Jews of genocide ("Germany must perish") while they were working on their destruction. That's why an organizati

Due to Brandolini's Law, there's an asymmetry between the time it takes to generate crap code and the time it takes to review crap code. That what makes it seem disrespectful, as if someone is wasting your time when they could hav

The definition used here is so broad, any killing of any member of a group, without any relation to number ("part") or tactics can qualify as a genocide.

You have simply given a false example. Regarding antisemitism, it is unfortunately a two millennium old racist phenomenon, which shows itself in an obsession many persons had with Jews and their "influence on world politics". Beha

No, it is uncommon to attribute to Russia the set of racist stereotypes that relate to Jews. For example, I never saw an opinion that thinks that Russia control the media or world finance, while the above is attributed to jews since before

Antisemitism is back, with its nasty conspiracy theories, jews as baby killers, controlling the world, involved in any news item. Good thing Zionism was invented exactly to counter that.
