    Man, you need to paid attention to the movie. Extermination of 6 Billions Vulcans is just one of them. It's already a well known fact that the Vulcan hand gesture is Jewish influence.

    Right, but that was established years ago by Leonard Nimoy himself.

    The extermination of Vulcan---I guess I can see the connection to the Holocaust, but it isn't a big one.

    What are the Jewish connections (other than the destruction of Vulcan) to the Vulcans that wasn't something established in Star Trek cannon previously?

    But more importantly, how are the Romulans painted as the Arabs?

    Also before this movie, Trek Cannon never had Vulcan destroyed.

    I'm also curious about the Romulans Arab connections, they must be insanely subtle because I didn't see anything and I've seen the flick 3 times

    Battlestar Galactica= Jews vs Arabs
    Titan A.E. = Jews vs Arabs

    Here's a quote from someone who saw the same thing as I did.

    "I watched the Vulcan Holocaust by Nero and was taken aback, it almost felt real, if that makes sense. And the fact that 6 billion Vulcans were mass murdered in one act of intergalactic global terrorism did not escape my mind.

    Was I the only one who saw the links to the holocaust along with Biblical references and comparisons with semitic peoples?

    6 Billion Vulcans - 6 Million Jews
    Nero(Latin) Neron(Greek) numerical value of Neron is 666 = anti-christ.
    Vulcans and Romulans share common ancestry, much like the Jews and Arabs. Vulcans are highly scientific, logical, as opposed to their Romulan counterparts."

    And here's another one ...

    Not a big deal since alot of movie does this kind of thing. But in Star Trek I don't see why they need to follow that path.

    And why Nazi/Arab? Nazis weren't too fond of Arabs.

    I think it's more to do with White Supremists which have a bit connection to Nazi. I'm just looking at bald headed guys with tattoo. I could be off with this one but it does link is very vague. I think they are suppose to represent both.

    like Freud once said... "some times a sausage is just a sausage". the romulans were invented way before this star trek movie. nero or 666 has more to do with christianity then the jews. true, early christians were or jews origin but this is just to far reaching. what you're suggesting is too dan brownish.

    * Nero = 666 = anti-christ: Reminds me of this from Foucault's Pendulum:
    [rquoter]
    "Gentlemen," he said, "I invite you to go and measure that kiosk. You will see that the length of the counter is one hundred and forty-nine centimeters -- in other words, one hundred-billionth of the distance between the earth and the sun. The height at the rear, one hundred and seventy-six centimeters, divided by the width of the window, fifty-six centimeters, is 3.14. The height at the front is nineteen decimeters, equal, in other words, to the number of years of the Greek lunar cycle. The sum of the heights of the two front corners and the two rear corners is one hundred and ninety times two plus one hundred seventy-six times two, which equals seven hundred and thirty-two, the date of the victory at Poitiers. The thickness of the counter is 3.10 centimeters, and the width of the cornice of the window is 8.8 centimeters. Replacing the numbers before the decimals by the corresponding letters of the alphabet, we obtain C for ten and H for eight, or C10H8, which is the formula for naphthalene."

    "Fantastic," I said. "You did all these measurements?"

    "No," Aglie said. "They were done on another kiosk, by a certain Jean-Pierre Adam. But I would assume that all lottery kiosks have more or less the same dimensions. With numbers you can do anything you like. Suppose I have the sacred number 9 and I want to get the number 1314, date of the execution of Jacques de Molay -- a date dear to anyone who, like me, professes devotion to the Templar tradition of knighthood. What do I do? Multiply nine by one hundred and forty six, the fateful day of the destruction of Carthage. How did I arrive at this? I divided thirteen hundred and fourteen by two, by three, et cetera, until I found a satisfying date. I could also have divided thirteen hundred and fourteen by 6.28, the double of 3.14, and I would have got two hundred and nine. That is the year in which Attalus I, king of Pergamon, joined the anti-Macedonian League. You see?"[/rquoter]

    Deathstar was just symbolism for concentration camps, right? Darth Vader was just Osama! Emperor was HITLER!

    I'm with you man.

    I got the same email. So, I'm in the know!

    And the actor that played Nero? Eric Bana? Australian... but his father was Croatian and his mother?!?! GERMAN! His role as as the Mossad agent in Munich was obviously an attempt to cover up his arab-nazi background.

    I gotz the email! I can't believe how blind these people are.


    (I'm sure J.J. Ambrams wasn't trying to show the Romulans as the overly emotional side of the Vulcans... since they are related. Nah, NAZIARABS!)

    I don't necessarily think that one race at war and trying to exterminate the other automatically means that it's a jewish/arabs/nazi connection. If so then you might as well throw say skynet represents the nazis and humans are the jews.

    In the old Star Trek, I thought Romulans were Cold War allegories to the PRC just as Klingons were to the Soviets.

    And there's a large percentage of Jewish writers.

    Coincidence....?!!?@!

    You got that right. In the old Star Trek they supposed to represent certain Race. It's so obvious in the new Star Trek they change it around. People can say whatever they want since the facts are right in their face. I know it's a touchy subject so that's I didn't bring in the "And there's a large percentage of Jewish writers."

    I don't know why people are so up in arms about this and making it like this never happen before in other movies are in the Old Star Trek.
