Contrary to What the Anti-Semites Say, Israel is Prussian, not Nazi

The Thirty Years War was the Holocaust of the Germans.

Before World War II there were eighteen million Jews. After World War II there were twelve million Jews.

Before the Thirty Years War there were fifteen million Germans. After the Thirty Years War there were ten million Germans.

Prussia suffered worse than the rest of Germany. The suffering of the Prussians in the Thirty Years War was comparable to, albeit less than, the suffering of the Jews of Europe in World War II. For example, Berlin was destroyed and half the people of Berlin were killed. Following the Thirty Years War the Prussians said "never again" and built an army strong enough to make any potential invader think twice. That is why Voltaire said that Prussia was an army with a state rather than a state with an army. It worked. The only potential invader who thought twice, invaded anyway, and got away with it was Napoleon, but world-class military geniuses don't count.

Prussian militarism (1740) eventually morphed into Nazism (1940).

Contrary to what the anti-Semites say, Israel now (relative to other democratic states)  is like Prussia was in 1740 (relative to other monarchies), or even earlier, not 1940. We Israelis must never ever get to 1940.
