Zionism is Fascism like Native American Reservations. Women's Colleges, and Black Colleges are Fascist. It is a hallmark of Progressive philosophy to exclude others to offer secure mono-lithic places for historically oppressed minorities.
Please at least read a definition of fascism, and then maybe some comments from people who've studied it - not the people deprived of the riches of civilization - both 'civilization' and 'education' being arguable so I don't simply say them - to find out what facsicm is. (people on the fringes often terribly poor, are most often propagators of these erroneous interpretations)
What you've named is not fascism. It is how imperialism gives in to the demands by groups of horridly oppressed people for remediation of the repression, racism, sexism, chauvinism, when absolutely pressed to give in. What you've done here is what we've all been taught, blame the victim.
People who are permitted a degree of raising themselves out of the miasma of persecution, as can to a degree be done through gender or race or such specific tools, most often join in struggle with us for the justice daily stolen from us by our Owners. (that you don't know you're owned by the ruling class, who used to be called kings, indicates a central problem)
NEVER think that Reservations are anything but the way to continue stealing what the original people here had did were and to the degree possible for people whose land is stolen out from under them, still have do and are.
This theft by U.S.-based imperialism occurs now everywhere as the U.S. rapes the world's forests waters air using labor stolen by laws the Owners buy. If the people don't submit, if the governments can't be bought, the U.S. sends in armies -bombs and tortures. I hope you've noticed.
The fascism is this increasing imperalism, not the little resistances that are local race or gender specific gatherings. 510-526-3968
How do I get on the payroll of the Israeli PR agencies? I'm an underemployed grad student totally willing to spew racist misogynist nonsense to "defend Israel" from people who "can't understand" it.
If you admire the "use of violence for political goals", "monoculture", "perscucuation of homosexuals and women" and so on.... In short, if you are a right-wing religious fanatic, you'd really look to every country in the middle east BUT Israel. What? Egypty, Jordan, Lebanon, Sinclusion criteria? Fine, then oppose Black college, Iraq, Iran are Progressive countries? Why does the Left have such difficulty criticizing right wing Muslims, but no trouble at all criticizing the only country in the ME that doesn't actively oppress LGBT, for example. Against mono-culture and using ethnic groups for eges, too.
ha! and so Israel should go on killing the Arabs - as it's done since 1948! as you've not been allowed to know/remember.

In short, if you are a right-wing religious fanatic, you'd really look to every country in the middle east BUT Israel. What? Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Iran are Progressive examples of tolerant, secular, multi-cultural countries? Why does KPFA have such difficulty criticizing right wing Muslims, but no trouble at all criticizing the only country in the ME that doesn't actively oppress LGBT, for example. Against mono-culture and using ethnic groups for inclusion criteria? Fine, then oppose Black colleges, too.
Brendan the troll at it again. Add conspiracy therorist to his bona fide of white supremest. They go hand in hand, often. You're so busy with your distorted little hypothesis that it's obvious you haven't listened to the multiple other public affairs programs here for an educated perspective
interesting how some people tune in - the talk-radio devotees, maybe - to the station and come up with these responses nevertheless.
...and the few who are 'us' and who don't feel like adding some comment ...
I usually enjoy the Doug Henwood program and find it informative.
The coverage of the Norway murderer, Breivik, I have heard on KPFA makes no sense.
There clearly is something profoundly unusual about Breivik and his actions and it so far is
not being revealed to the public. This is in contrast to how Breivik's actions are supposed
to be interpreted according to the obvious public record he created in the last year or so; is it true that he included large tracts verbatim from the Unabomber manifesto into his own?
If Breivik was so anti-Muslim why did he kill Norwegians instead of putative Muslim interlopers?
Why did the police respond so slowly when they had the capacity to respond quickly by helicopter with many helicopters at the ready?
KPFA programs interview people who don't seem to know anything really about the Breivik
drama, but rather are experts in Judaic interests; like placing a Judaic tinted glasses on in order to interpret this mysterious murderous rampage. Like the Henwood show today and the Counterspin yesterday.
The result is total obfuscation of reality whatever it may be.
But, apparently, there are definite unmentioned aspects that relate to things Jewish.
Is it true Breivik visited Israel multiple times? Is there a the Jewish-Zionist-Israel connection with Breivik?
Also, there is a photo on the internet of Breivik with the background edited out, dressed in a Freemason outfit with apron. Is he a member of a Freemasonic secret society and is that significant?
There is so far too little revealed to accurately make sense of the Breivik's murder spree of his fellow Norwegians; taking things at face value seems likely to mislead the viewer. It may be that his actions were designed carefully to produce some situation that game theorists behind Breivik expect will facilitate a specific political outcome. Too bad there are no knowledgeable ethnic Norwegian nationals to interview.
THOSE WEREN'T his FELLOW NORWEGIANS.
nope. It's symptomatic. It's the way the world still is. Until we all construct the world wherein we provide us all control over our labor so that our living, our lives, are our work, play, relaxation, continuous opportunities for enhancement and enjoyment of these, securely, unto our children's children, the hatred imbued into people in the Scandinavian and other European countries, as well as so many other places, will bring this behavior forward. His attack was not dissimilar from imperialism's constant murder of us all everywhere the past millennia. Done by one person is no different from done by our Owners' armies - of which he made himself a BRILLIANT soldier. Nothing special about him. ...a pure outgrowth of the starvation of enjoyment of life our Owners inflict on us through their control of land and labor.
