If they had not they would have been invaded by the Germans anyhow and I am pretty sure if the Germans had won Switzerland would have been part of Germany sooner rather than later.

There just are not many countries that have what the Swiss have and also what they do not have, much worth invading for.

I am not sure of the current Swiss immigration policies but I highly doubt they are taking ANY refugees.

Switzerland is a great example for many quack theories searching for a single example. It is easy to go where lighting stuck, but not so easy to know where it will strike.

But social conservatism is totes awesome, even though it's making Ben Carson and Donald Trump dominate the Republican presidential field?

Your post is confusing to me. Why would Jews (or liberals) blame Israel? Hollywood used to be run by a lot of Jewish producers and directors, although Howard Hughes certainly wasn't Jewish, but now it's mostly controlled by large corporations like Disney and Sony. I realize a lot of people think Jews control all the money (I wish) and the media, but that's just a lot of hateful rhetoric spread by conspiracy theories.

Now, if you said you were surprised Jews weren't blamed by the French, then it might be a little different, since there's so much antisemitism in France and many Jewish families are leaving because they fear for their safety. Over 5,000 immigrated to Israel in 2014 after attacks on synagogues.

However, this discussion is very off-topic.

I posted another comment and deleted it, because I don't want this thread to turn into a rant about gun control. Most of the carnage was caused by suicide bombers who wore vests they detonated.

I don't know why it matters anyway. I mean, Ronald Reagan wasn't Jewish and he was a Hollywood actor who became our President. Arnold isn't Jewish and was the Gov of Calif. So what?

According to these Jews this is exactly the result they are looking for.

Zionism and Anti-Semitism | True Torah Jews

Herzl wrote that Zionism offered the world a welcome “final solution of the Jewish question.†In his “Diariesâ€, page 19, Herzl stated “Anti-Semites will become our surest friends, anti-Semitic countries our allies.â€
Lots of people, including raving lunatics, want all Jews to go to Israel....by any means necessary. These are called Zionists

Unfortunately Jews are pawns in many end of the world mythologies and some people cannot wait for the new era to ushered in, even if Jews are killed in this process.


Christians helping speed return of last Ethiopian Jews - Christian In Israel - Jerusalem Post


Ask some of these Christians what they think happens next....


I cannot imagine living a life with well heeled lunatics trying to get me to say, return to Croatia, even if it means flooding my neighborhood with Serbians and Turks . However I believe this is part of what is happening.

Anytime something bad happens, the PC police scour the twitter/instragram/facebook accounts of celebrities and find the one that sounds the worse. In this case,the worst wasn't all that bad, actually not bad in my opinion.

I hesitate answering this. As I already wrote, these posts are off-topic, but the website you refer to is run by a group of extremists. It's sad that anyone would blame antisemitism and synagogue bombings on Jews just because they disagree with their political views. It makes me shiver because this type of sick propaganda was spread over 70 years ago.

Yes, there are some Jewish people who do not agree with Zionists, but they are not violent. Any nutcase can create a website and Facebook page. There are may people who want abortion stopped, but they do not shoot doctors or blow up clinics.

It's insulting and upsetting to know that some people actually believe Jews would attack people of their own faith and destroy places of worship just so families would pack up and move to Israel. Instead of using Google to find websites, please do some research. The founder of this so-called movement is Gilad Atzmon who is no more credible than the conspiracy theorists who believe 9/11 was an inside job or that we didn't land on the moon.

Because anytime person A doesn't like what person B's says person B becomes a racist to person A. You're not allowed to have a different point of view. If you do you're a "racist". Most have no idea what a racist is.
