Basically the entire population of the UK turned into one big tea party (it required religion which seems pretty unlikely in the UK). A far more realistic version of this is Ben Elton book Blind Faith which managed to portray a British fascist state (and world) that uses a version of christianity which combined lots of sex and the celeb/reality tv
Can someone translate this for me please? Either English or German will do.
In V, the hero led the citizens of the UK to take on their own government and their own corrupt religious leaders. In Gawd's posts, he calls for the entire Islamic world (and a few self-hating Jews) to destroy the US and Israel.

For Gawd to apply what's in the movie, he should target the corrupt governments and religious leaders in the area of the world where his sympathies lay.

I guarantee it Gawd: kill off enough of these clerics who hold the ME in the grip of the 5th century , and all the nations in the region will find it easier to compete with the nations in the 21st century.
That's pretty much how I described Gawd's angle here.

Thanks for the attempts at clarification, Robert_S, MrJonno and PordFrefect.

When you guys use "self-hating Jews" as part of your justifications for persecuting the Palestinians, I see you as no different than AIPAC or any other racist Jewish organization.

Who do you mean by "You guys"?
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

As far as I can recall, no other member here has used the term "Self hating Jews" except in reference to Gawd's usage of the phrase.

I only did it because you refer to the guys at Haaretz as a bunch of self hating Jews.
