    What an oddly defeatist approach to policy. Like herding Jews into ghettos because Nazis would be worse. Shouldn’t policy be judged on its intrinsic merits rather than its supposed value for placating racists?

      That’s pretty much all panthera_ contributes with: theories about how the best way to stop bullying far right abusers up to and including the Israeli government is to give them what they want and hope they never ask for more 🙄

        Not surprising, considering how successful appeasement has been in the past!

      Incorrect analogy. The Nazis came to power because the democratic Weimar Republic couldn’t control inflation. Preserving a country’s cultural identity does have intrinsic merit. A flood of migrants of different cultures could create discord. It’s better to only admit those with needed skills. This would increase diversity while preserving cultural identity.
