Ken Livingstone Is A Twat But He Is Right

Ken Livingstone is a politician that cares about the people to some and a commie mouthpiece to others. The former Mayor of London recently said Hitler supported Zionism and had a policy to move Jews to Israel. He said "He was supporting Zionism before he went mad and ended up killing six million Jews." 

Now Labour is heading up an anti-Semitism panel to make up some guidelines of what you can and cannot say. Don't use Hitler and Israel in the same sentence .... also don't blame Israeli soldiers when they shoot children and hey, where the IRA really that bad? Lets call them Freedom Fighters instead of cowardly scumbags.

Semantics .... or Anti-Semantics.  

The Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, told the World Zionist Congress, "Hitler didn't want to exterminate the Jews, but only to expel them." 

Livingstone is saying that if that dick can say it then so could he. No one accuses Netanyahu of being anti-Semitic. A war mongering bigot but never a Jew hater.

With Gerry Adams in 1983, the year in which the IRA killed 6 when they targeted a busy street full of Christmas shoppers with a car bomb near Harrods in London. 

  

Livingstone and Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn have a long history of talking shite and sympathizing with the wrong side. As a history expert I can tell you that Livingstone is wrong .... Israel didn't exist then.

However The Haavara Agreement of 1933 did set up Jews for to emigrate from Germany to Palestine. This of course stopped when WWII started in 1939. Yes Americans it started in 1939, not 1941.

1933 was also the year that Dachau concentration camp was opened. The first of the camps it held mostly German Communists, Bernie Sanders Social Democrats and trade unionists. Over time Jehovah Witnesses, gheys and gypsies were sent there too but not too many Jews in those early years. Over those years they stripped the Jews of rights such as German citizenship and barred them from certain professions like law and medicine, 1939 marked the huge expansion for Nazi death camps rounding up Jews that were still there.

So yeah Hitler helped Zionism, it doesn't mean he believed or supported it. Do you really think he believed the Jews should be in Jerusalem in case that fictional slacker Jesus came back? He used the Jews as a scapegoat to further his career as Trump would use Muslims and Mexicans.

People and their knee jerk reaction have jumped ol Ken about this but he is being historically correct. Some facts are not popular though such as Lincoln not giving a fuck about slavery and Jefferson (all men are equal) being quite partial to a bit of slave rape and he didn't want to free them either cos it would be too difficult and they'd have to deport them in case they wanted revenge. Don't forget Reagan selling weapons to Iran while making drug deals in Central America.   
  
Hitler didn't go mad, I doubt he was ever insane. I believe that he committed evil atrocities in the manner of hey it isn't us so who cares? Like politicians voting not to take in 3000 refugee children. Or exporting all the food out of Ireland while a potato blight starves the poor. Evil comes in many forms, some of them are more socially acceptable than others and is often done by a lack of action. 

Evil is real and is most often done by sane people.
