How does one fight against Hitler, and all of his atrocities,  without hating him?
107648
Good question for those who want to really contemplate the differences between hate of a person and hate of their action. I'll play devil's advocate and hope I don't offend anyone with this. Hitler took a completely defeated nation from WWI and created a superpower at the time (1935-1945)in a mere 17 years. Not just militarily but economically. Breaking it down to it's bear basics, he was a great leader. Unfortunate to the world was where he led his nation and people to. Stand up to the injustice and for those who can't stand up for themselves. Hate can be constructive and destructive, control it and don't let it control you.

In my view, nothing he did pre-war was particularly noteworthy.  The economy lifted out of depression due to the government's exorbitant defense (correction: offense) spending.  So the great economic turnaround of 1930s Germany was thanks to the mass-production of war materiel that could (and would) cause the deaths of millions of people.  Not exactly what I would prefer to spur the economy, and I say that not just because he's Hitler, but because I deplore it when any civilization or nation (including my own) gains in wealth and power at the expense of the lives of innocent people.\n\nAs regards national pride, I believe that national pride contributes to an unhealthy militaristic spirit.  Throughout history, pride in one's nation and one's own kind has led to fear and hatred of that which is foreign or alien.  Only when a people's "national pride" has sufficiently been whipped into a frenzy are those people capable of committing acts of war on that which is foreign to them.\n\nI grant that the German war machine was among the mightiest in history - but so what?  All that effort - the enormous amounts of economic and human capital that went into developing that war machine - wasted in wars of aggression and acts of brutality against those who look or talk or act or believe differently.  Germany could be one of today's superpowers and could have averted the Cold War and the subjugation of millions of people by Communism in Eastern Europe and the misery of millions more in "domino theory" wars around the globe had Hitler not wasted the best and brightest of a generation.

Hitler did not all of a sudden say, 'Hey, lets band everyone together by hating Jews.' The hatred of Jews in Europe goes all the way back to the time it became Christian. Passages in the Christian's New Testament paint "The Jews" as being the children of the devil, hypocritical, and interested only in money rather than in Gd. \n\nWho wrote the following???\n\n"""But since I learned that those miserable and accursed people do not cease to lure to themselves even us, that is, the Christians, I have published this little book, so that I might be found among those who opposed such poisonous activities of the Jews and who warned the Christians to be on their guard against them....Now, in order to strengthen our faith, we want to deal with a few crass follies of the Jews in their belief and their exegesis of the Scriptures, since they so maliciously revile our faith. If this should move any Jew to reform and repent, so much the better. We are now not talking with the Jews but about the Jews and their dealings, so that our Germans, too, might be informed....Our Lord also calls them a "brood of vipers"; furthermore, in John' 3:39 he states: "If you were Abraham's children would do what Abraham did.... You are of your father the devil." It was intolerable to them to hear that they were not Abraham's but the devil's children, nor can they bear to hear this today.... For they are a heavy burden, a plague, a pestilence, a sheer misfortune for our country. Proof for this is found in the fact that they have often been expelled forcibly from a country, far from being held captive in it....Therefore be on your guard against the Jews, knowing that wherever they have their synagogues, nothing is found but a den of devils in which sheer self-glory, conceit, lies, blasphemy, and defaming of God and men are practiced most maliciously and veheming his eyes on them.......but then eject them forever from this country. For, as we have heard, God's anger with them is so intense that gentle mercy will only tend to make them worse and worse, while sharp mercy will reform them but little. Therefore, in any case, away with them!"""\n\nIt was Martin Luther, one of the founders of the Protestant movement in Christianity!

Hitler first hated the Jews because he was, of course, mentally ill.  He blamed them for the defeat of WW 1, and a host of other societal ills.  Then, once he had detained the Jews in prison camps, he hated them even more because they refused to be defeated...even by death.  The following explanation says it all:\n\nIt was written by a French author, Jon DeBileda, during the latter part of the 19th Century.\n\n\n"In essence the Jewish people chuckle at all forms of anti-Semitism. Think all you want and you will not be able to find one form of brutality or strategy that has not been used in warfare against the Jewish people. I cannot be defeated, says Judaism. All that you attempt to do to me today has been attempted 3,200 years prior in Egypt. Then tried the Babylonians and Persians... Afterwards tried the Romans and then others and others....\n\nThere is no question that the Jews will outlive us all. This is an eternal people...."

How can one possibly fight for peace? Already the word "fighting" has a military connotation. Do you see the oximoron here? \nSomebody mentioned Neville Chamberlain here. A peace fighter? How noble. Are we to forget that he almost let Hitler have his way? How are you to reach your peace with someone like Hitler, or his modern equivalents? Your only way would be to first fight them, and then when you won the war, force them to peace. That is why it is so rare to find a peace fighter. Most of so called peace factions, when you really and honsetly think about it, encourage you to basically cave in to the side that started the agression in the first place, thus excluding the possibility of true peace. \nThis is not to say that what you seek doesn't exist. You just need to change the formulation. No peace fighter with its inherent contradiction, but peace seeker. And you can find those noble heroes who hoped to find peace. \nNestor was, for example, a Greek hero king, who at first urged the Greeks to turn away from the siege of Troy.\nIn the modern times we can probably mention Ghandi, with his passive resistance movemen, that eventually won him and India the independence they have been hoping for, without bloodshed. \nSo, look for heroes who were peace seekers instead, but not for peace fighters. For the most part, those who proclaim themselves to be peace fighter, do whatever they do against the benefit of their people. They are consequently not considered heroes, and history doesn't carry their memory forth. This is the reason for your difficulty, I believe.\nWe all remember Hamilkar and his renown son Hannibal, who, to gain peace for their country, fought against the Roman, but we cannot recall the names of the elders of Carthage who pushed for what they called peace, and was really submission. We cannot remember them, and why the heck should we? In spite of their declaration, they weren't true peace fighters, their political opponents, father and son both, were. So, basically, a hero who works for peace, has occasionally to start a war. In our imperfect world, it couldn't be otherwise. This is why your search couldn't be successfull as one would hope for. Hope this helps.

Look at anything about Hitler

That is good, I feel the same way. Although I do meditate on a mountain, but I do it for myself and not everyone needs to do anything like it. I like the part about the bomb and school kids, I also believe in a "God" that forgiving. I believe that God is "love" and if you take the "love" out of God, God will become obsolete. So there is no way that "love" can hate enough even to "hurt" Hitler.

I am Jewish and can answer that anti-semitism can be fought by haiving people mix and mingle with Jewish people and have positive experiences/ Anit Israel existence and demonization comes from thos e who want the land as it is developed and fertile compared to other Middle East areas. We must stand up for our rights and protect our country always. Holocaust denial...keep showing people the real papers and the real thing if they think it did not exist. I can tell you it did and there exist many people who suffered as a result of it who are in their 80's now and still remembering the horrors of a person and his crazy viewpoints of races.\nKeep your ideas strong and your faith in who you are and what you believe in. Be proud to be part of a religion that is pure and tradtional and family -oriented. Be proud to have a history and a reason to defend it. Never let anyone take away your country , your faith or your history .

I know what you mean...\n\nI had a guy at school call me "freaking Nazi" everyday a school... he made others hate me.... I had no friends there.....    His reason for doing it?  He made up lies about me, he said I hated Jewish people...\n\nHe falsly accused me of what I didn't do... and he made everyone else believe it.\n\nHe hurt me deeply......  but God gave me the grace to forgive him...\n\neven though he wasn't sorry.\n\n\nThis is what you can do:\n\n\nGet your parents to meet with his parents... that ended the problem for me.\n\n\nThe best thing to do, is not call him names or do anything bad to him, even though he deserves it... he can use that against you.\n\n\n\nForgive him.\n\n\nGod bless you and yours.

God bless you for trying, I will pass the kindness to each person I meet, but it is getting really hard. It is never too late to stop hating. Even though attitudes are tough to handle sometimes, I don't hate anybody, even when they hate me.

Hitler did what other Socialists also do well. Promise the people what they want, as long as they support his rise to power.  Get crowds of people agitated to march around on the street, wave signs, bully any opposition, demand 'social justice', etc.  Once in power, he did what Socialists do, exterminating anyone who did not serve him directly.\n\nWhen you watch the rants of Howard Dean, John Kerry, Hillary, etc, it is not hard to compare them to the emotional, podium-pounding rhetoric of that other notable Socialist, Adolf.

Hitler was crazy and I bet he didn't even know he was partially Jewish. He needed the support of Germany, so he needed to blame a weak part of the population. He chose Jews because they were not Christian, which the majority of Germans were. They did not fit the regualar German "LOOK" and he felt there was room for discrimination. I am not saying the Jews are weak, and it was a bad move on Adolf Hitler's part. Later during the Liberation, they had to evecuate dozens of overcrowded camps and try to kill everyone without klling the soilders they would need later. Hitler had taken it too far and evacuation was a nusiance. He did it because of various diseases inside him, and because he was a wrongly prejudiced man. He was also against those in wheelchairs, African Americans, homosexuals, bisexuals, gypsies, and partially woman  and other minorities in his point of view.

I think you should have your daddy write your sentences for you.  I am sure that is were you learned your hatred.  If you had a clue to what the real truth is you would be humiliated by the situation.  You need to tell your people to stop hating and learn to get along with all people.  Life is too short to be hating...  Learn the truth, forgive your enemies, live to get along with your neighbors.  Teach this to your father and tomorrow will be a brighter day... for all of us...   peace    please

It's not that easy...history is history...the only way that people would stop hating would be if everyone had a sudden case of acute amnesia. I wish everyday that everyone would get along. Sometimes people are nice but other times you don't have the energy to deal with it.
