Entry: A Worthy Cause: Israel Funds Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/a_worthy_cause_israel_funds#9209 Post contents: "Can one be a Serbian nationalist without being a Serb?" Rin Tin Tin has an inequivocal answer: Of course one can. In the business of nationalism, this is more often the rule than the exception. Let’s see… Eamon de Valera, of Spanish descent, Irish Nationalist. And his buddy, the Englishman (Connelly?), too. Josef Stalin, Georgian national, Russian nationalist. Adolf Hitler Austrian national, German nationalist. Josip Broz Tito, Croatian national, rooted for Serbs. & Well, not really, Rin Tin Tin. One can only be a Nationalist if one feels he belongs soul and body to a Nation, and regardless of his origin. De Valera and Hitler felt thoroughly Irish and German respectively( One could add here Sandor Petofy, the famous Hungarian romantic poet, who was born Aleksandar Petrovic - a Serb). A Nationalist cherishes the past and the culture of his People which he defends to death. To include Stalin and Tito as Russian and Serb Nationalists borders ridicule. These two have done everything to supress the traditions of the peoples they ruled over. Rin Tin Tin is obviously an American who as such, ignores the mysticism of Nationalism. No wonder he describes it as 'business'. Sent at: 2008 07 24
