The evil ideology

Nazism and Hitler wasn't born out of nothing, even if it may seem so when we talk about it today. Nazism was born out of a nascent anti-Semitism that slowly grew in Europe after the first world war. With anti-Semitism followed the concept of race and the image that there was a master race, who deserved so much better than the fate they got after the First World War. A scapegoat was needed and it was very easy to dust off and develop the old anti-Semitism that became the most powerful weapon of Hitler and the Nazis. Hitler won his power through "democratic" elections before the coup and before the dictatorship was a fact. Meanwhile anti-Semitism deepened in Europe to the degree that all Jews where animalized.

Today we associate Nazism and fascism with the darkest and most evil of the human mind and by the actions that were carried out in its name, especially during the war, but we must never forget how an entire nation, and later an entire continent ended up in its grip. How boundaries and norms constantly moved forward so that they eventually landed beyond all human understanding. How it was a process over time.

The question is, where are we going today? Where is the process in 2014?  We can once again see how social norms and values are broadened to accept various forms of discrimination, racism and anti-democratic tendencies in our society's. So-called extremists and fundamentalists are annually moving their positions forward. What was unthinkable 10 years ago is now a reality.
The patterns and the process from the inter-war period is repeated all over Europe, from Greece to the UK and Sweden. There are however two crucial differences, and that is the fact that Europe isn't shattered by war, as it was after the great war and the educational level of the citizens of Europe are generally among the worlds highest. That should limit the momentum of the ideological evil, but when?

Human suffering

Developments in Iraq, Syria and Israel-Palestine is terrible and inhuman. We must be able to stand up against the killings, the violence and the assimilation, regardless of whether the victim or the perpetrator is a Christian, a Jew, a Muslim or a victim of political fundamentalism. If we, who live in security and just follow these horrors on the morning news can't see the human suffering for what it is, human suffering, then what hope is there?

Israel and Palestine

You can't criticise one side of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict without doing the same to the other side. If you don't, I dear to say that you are a hypocrite with ulterior motives. You don't need to be particularly, historically well-informed to understand that both sides are lost in a maze, in total darkness.

The killings have been going on for over a lifetime and will continue to do so until the international community are ready to assume full responsibility for the security of the people living in Israel and Palestine. History demands that the international community takes this responsibility.

The Gaza conflict puts us at the end of the road.

Cameron needs a war with Europe

Cameron talks about battles and wars when he is talking about his European polices. A shameful and desperate tactic as Cameron is trying to keep focus away from the division in the UK and the serious political problems they need to face.

Cameron is displaying his shortcomings in both UK and EU politics. There is no doubt that Cameron have weakened both the kingdom and especially the British people. Ironically, it seems that Europe and European democracy have grown more united and alot stronger by Cameron's efforts to dismantle the same.

Cameron wanted a war against the people of Europe, he got global humiliation. The betrayal is against the British people.
