IDF Declares War on Nazism
AP: Jerusalem, IDF
There was thunderous applause at the Knesset today as Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu and his Likud Party pushed through a law declaring a war on Nazism.
Nazism is not a problem within the Jewish State, but Netanyahu and his supporters spoke of the trouble Jews are facing across the world. Citing a rise in Pogroms, Netanyahu wanted to put the might of the IDF military in a threat against all states who support pogroms.
When asked by minority MKs from Labor about the possibility of the use of force, Netanyahu stated he would have no qualms going to war with a foreign power to protect Jews in danger elsewhere.
"As the Jewish State, we have the responsibility to ensure that the Jews abroad without a means of self defense are taken care of," stated the Prime Minister during a press conference following the vote.

We congradulate you on attempts to eradicate the worst group ever to be formed in history of the world. For the good of Jews, Christians, and many others, get rid of the race that dares to call themselves pure and brings harm and suffering to others.

Are there any Nazis left?, and, does this mean you'll go after/kidnap/kill/outlaw/persecute/etc. Neo-Nazi movements in other countries?
Oh, and who decides who's a Nazi and who isnt, you?

Should a Nazi government arise in the world and persecute Jews, they will find themselves at war with our nation.

So, the state of IDF has decided to declare war on Nazism. Interesting. Though we wonder, how does one go about prosecuting an ideology? It's like declaring war on drugs or terror. You're not really going to get anywhere. It's nothing short of an exercise in futility and a substantial waste of taxpayer money. While in theory it may be a good idea, in practice it'll accomplish very little, as no one can effectively erase an ideology so long as free will exists amongst humans.
While we do not condone the actions for which the ideology stands, we will not outlaw the ideology within our borders, for it has never been an issue for us, as the very tiny Jewish population within our borders had never been a problem. They were one of three minorities (the other two being Catholics and Buddhists; Muslims never did settle here) to ever follow Secular Kryozerkian law, which outlawed public practice of any religion, which includes and not limited to preaching on the streets, praying in any public building and the imparting of religious text into schools. The only religion to have ever been subject to the ancient Freedom from Religion of 420KE law, were the Protestants, who have been forever expelled from the motherland, and any Protestants found are summarily deported to a random country.
As long as religion is not a problem, the anti-religion, anti-theist majority will allow for them to live within our borders. They hold the greatest sway and our courts have people who have no use for religion and anyone who is of a religious minority who holds office has not made it known because it would cost them their position.
If a 'Nazi' oriented party were to arise, it only spring up if it was obvious the Jewish minority was not obeying the strict limitations placed on religion and nothing was being done to keep them in line with other religions. The people of the religion equal to those who do not have a religion in the eyes of Kryozerkian law until they attempt to practice in public.
Sincerely,
Prime Minister Kane
Are there any Nazis left?

We feel that even though the thought is interesting, we do not condone that the idea of the IDF dictating the politics of one nation or one party. Mind you, the Nazis have done enough damage to the world, but even if you declare war on them, there will always be a Nazi Party in the world, regardless of the measures taken.
Therefore, Dukarbana does not support the IDF.

The Federation of Undbagarten, although it does not have any goodwill towards it, has a National Socialist (Nazi) Party within its borders. I will not have your nation violating Undbagarten's borders. Also, you cannot condemn a political party because of what it was responsible for 60 years ago; that was also the work of maddmen, because most NAZIS really don't care what the Jews do. Unless you look at the radical Nazi Party. I do not condone the senseless hostility towards a political party. What are you, a single party communist. If one IDF soldier steps over the Undbagartian border to harrass the Undbagartian Nazi Party, this government will take it as a direct hostile action against Undbagarten and will immediatly declare war!
Signed,
Secretary General Yletzvik

The letter - how it reached IDF is of no concern - is quite tastefully decorated, depicting various scenes from the bible (Reich Edition), the tall, blue-eyed, blonde-haired Jesus slaughtering the Pharisees, quite exquisite calligraphy both describing and depicting the sermon of the mount ("We, who are without sin, shall cast the first stone."), judgement day and the death of metahumans and unbelievers alike, a rabbi with pointy ears trying to kill baby jesus while reciting the torah...
It is all hand-drawn, and certainly, the actual letter inside the envelope is, too - again in the quite exquisite calligraphy already seen on the envelope itself, with the artwork surrounding the written text continuing all over it, although this might reading it slightly - but not overly - difficult.
It must've taken days to write, no, to create, to envision it.
Dear Bibi,
It is with considerable joy that I hear of your filthy - if still human, so you're not strictly at the top of our priority list - subspecies declaring war on all those who embrace the truth our LORD has revealed to his chosen, up to and including the Gospel.
Fortunately, there aren't strictly any of your filthy, degenerated, inbred subhuman abominations within the borders of the Gospel, though I am ashamed to admit that this isn't strictly our doing - there never were any to begin with, as the LORD's chosen colonised these lands with the express purpose of avoiding anything that could taint their purity. Which explains our somewhat embarrassing lack of pogroms, ghettos, laws restricting the activities of your forever cursed and hellbound people, and deathcamps.
Still, you've declared war on nazism at large, which I suppose includes the Gospel - we'll politely ignore the fact that your own track record isn't exactly something the UN approves of, either, and comes dangerously close to nazism - or fascism, if you prefer - itself, by any definition other than 'We're Jews, we're the good guys!'
Remains for us to wonder how we should proceed with the conflict you've so carelessly started, throwing away the lives of your citizens (I don't suppose you and the rest of the Knesset will be found at the frontlines, will you?).
Not that I disapprove - the less of your god-slaying, disease-carrying, creation-tainting creatures are there, the better. But it's probably something you might want to consider.
In any case. I suspect that both our nations possess considerable WMD arsenals - countermeasures should of course exist, but I suspect that around fifty percent of our respective nations will end up being variously glassed or gassed (Well, you're certainly used to the latter), should a strategic exchange be among the options you're considering.
Conventionally, I believe that neither you nor we do possess the means to stage a successful invasion, although our ~ 25% superiority in terms of sheer resources should give us a considerable edge. Personally, I suspect a naval stalemate.
Which makes the whole conflict mildly pointless, as I don't think either of us can win. Now, I'll freely admit that there's elements within the Gospel who don't care about casualties - any price paid to eradicate your kind is acceptable.
But I'm not one of them, nor is the majority of the Seraphim - for now at least -, which makes the whole matter a little more complicated - we're not overly interested in losing three billion people just because we can kill three billion of yours.
Which raises certain... Options, although these are of course entirely your decision.
Yours in faith,
~ Uriel, High Seraph of the Gospel
Official Announcement of the United States Ministry of Defense
Dear Mr. Netanyahu!
We have already heard about your nation's anti-Nazi crusade. While Allanea, in her present state, is unlikely to deploy actual military units in the cause - our economy can't afford it – we are also under orders to sell off our supply of 1A1 Nakil tanks ( http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=478771), previously stored for emergencies and foreign aid. These tanks are sold off under the orders of her Majesty the Queen, and are available at 6 million USD each, though this is negotiable.
Sincerely yours,
The Allaneans.
His Majesties Britannic Empire is currently puzzled as to why you have decreed this rather ludicrous declaration without the support of the majority of the international community, we would like to forewarn you, that invading any state, which is democratically elected, and is implementing her own laws, as decided by the people, will not be tolerated by the British Empire and her commonwealth.
While human rights abuses are to be frowned upon, your government has no right to impede the democratic process on the side of a minority. The British Empire thusly shall be following your actions, very closely.

As if it were the world were not confused enough these days, what with misinformation, miscommunication, and outright lies springing from the red vs. blue vs. corporate terrorist groups standoffs, the nation of IDF decided that the world had gone mercifully without a declaration of war on a concept or ideology too long.
Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu announced that he would 'have no qualms' about the use of military force to prosecute this war. Despite the absence of an obvious enemy, they appear to be readying themselves for a fight. One wonders what exactly they would consider 'Nazism'. Considering that Nazi is in fact a German abbreviation for National Socialist, will all such parties be viewed as enemies? Will all fascist nations?
A later statement, believed to be from a spokesperson for the IDF government, although no name or office was attached to the message, seemed to clarify that only persecution of Jews will lead to a state being considered 'Nazis', and thus warred on. This, no doubt intended to be a helpful clarification of position, only serves to confuse further. Will governments whose ideology parallels that of Nazi Germany except for the persecution of Jews be considered Nazis? On the other hand, will nations otherwise totally dissimilar to that of Hitler's regime be labelled as Nazis because of human rights violations aimed at this group?
Lot easier just to declare war on a case by case basis instead of making a sweeping statement like this, innit?

Official Decleration of the Amazonian Dominion
The Dominion is quick to point out how much hurt that those of the Jewish faith have done as well-particularly in the uprooting of the Palestinian people in the 20th century, and far before that, the wholesale slaughter of those of Canaan and the uprooting of the Philistines, those with natural dominion over the land of that region. While the IDF is quick to point fingers at Nazism, the Dominion will be quick to defend any Nazi-supported state attacked by the IDF in the pretense of relief against a holy IDF war of zealots trying to establish religious dominion over simple political beliefs.
