Parents shocked after scout camp features Nazis chasing Jews

I'm sure the lefties would be more outraged at children playing "Cowboys and Indians

Ya' know many times I've said, "when kids start playing N*zis 'n' J*ws, I'll stop bringing up the Indian thing.

To answer your question, you can still buy plenty of cowboy and indian costumes, toys, movies etc. .

I see no difference. Why is one acceptable and the other not? People are 'sick', 'disgusted' by this but I am amused by the irony.

Interestingly enough, "cowboys and indians" usually have the cowboys chasing the indians (bad guys), just as most other chase games have good guys chasing the bad guys, such as "cops and robbers." Might this (cough cough) innocent game of tag be portraying Nazis as the good guys (chaser) and the Jews as the bad guys (chasee)?

Ooooh, I know, how about tribes being chased by slave-traders? Or Christians being chased by Muslims? Or Afrikaaners being chased by Mugabe?

However the Russian bear was proving to be powerful and unbelieveably cruel. Many of it's Generals and other leaders were right out of the Jewish Bolshevik movement. To switch from Nazis to Russian Communists was not appealing.

In trying to understand the events of WWII and today, it is important to remember that Europe viewed the Bolshevik movement as Jewish and viewed Russia as the greatest threat to their own countries, whether by external conquest or internal revolution. Many in Europe viewed Jews as Bolsheviks and questioned their loyality. Many in America qudestioned the loyality of Japanese-Americans during WWII. Today Americans question the loyality of Muslim Americans.

The distinctions between these examples may be subtle but I think they are important.

Jews were indeed major players in the Bolshevik movement beginning with the German Jew Karl Marx who had only been dead several decades. The number of Jews associated with the Russian revolution was far out of proportion to their national presence with some estimates well above 50% of the party. This large "on the ground" role of Jews in the formation of Communism and their role in the ruthless destruction of Russia set a powerful regional example.

In the collapsed economy of post WW1 Germany the Communists were making serious revolutionary noises and again local Jews were major players. This despite the fact German Jews prior to the 1930s probably lived better and were more integrated into the host society than Jews anywhere in the world. While national "loyalty" may not have been the correct issue, there certainly was reason for concern that similar "Bolshevik" revolutions might devastate other European countries, especially Germany. It appears that a minority of activist Jews in Germany destroyed the good life of the majority by handing Adolph a ready-made issue complete with a spectacular example right next door.

This was not the case with Japanese-Americans, J. Edgar and FDR notwithstanding. There was little if any Japanese-American involvement with WW2 Japan, and their American loyalty was quickly proven. The loyality of Muslim-Americans has yet to be established.
