"Being neutral towards nazis" Well that's the dumbest thing I'll read today, is it really so difficult to google the word. I'll bet when you hear someone is an atheist you think it's only your god they don't believe in.

You can't be neutral toward obvious evil. Thats being accomplice to it. If someone would brake into your neighbourhours home and start killing them , would you stay away on account of being "pacifist". Also iam not religious btw, nice logical fallacy comparing faith to genocidal ideology you dafty, lol

"nice logical fallacy comparing faith to genocidal ideology you dafty," - I'll use smaller words and less complicated concepts next time.

Neutrality is clean over your head then.

So what rooftops are you shouting about Israel's evil from?

Edit: And what country are you from that has done no evil?

  • Here's a small word, simple concept version for you: Not being interested in football (and therefore not supporting your team) is not the same as supporting the opposition. - Have an adult explain that to you before pretending you know what a logical fallacy is.

  • Btw that example isn't about football.

You think the allies were the good guys?

In a world war? Good guys? 

Would you like to visit what the west did in world war 2? Horrific war crimes that they were never prosecuted for because they won.

You try telling your population that the former colonial overlords you just broke free from 5 minutes ago want to use you as canon fodder for the fourth time in your lifetime. The whole “Ireland was secretly Nazi” argument falls apart the second you look at what was happening domestically in Ireland. Maybe don’t be so narcissistic and imagine for a moment that Ireland not wanting to get involved wasn’t out of some secret support for the Nazi cause but perhaps a because the government wanted to pursue its own interests? Such as getting a functioning government, healthcare education and welfare system up and running considering it was yano the poorest country in Western Europe and had literally just achieved independence
