Do you seriously suggest that calling the literal Jewish state a bunch of Nazis actually holds any staying power politically? Or do you think its like one of those crappy slogans like "Occupy Wall Street" or "Defund the Police" that only makes Republicans stronger?
Think about your political statements/memes before spreading them. At least a little bit.
Take your win with regards to BiBi being a far-right asshole leading an Ethnostate. That's PLENTY to discuss there about how trying to take down their Supreme Court is probably a bad move, or how Bibi's politics with Hamas were bad for Israel/Gaza citizens but good for Bibi politically (and the asshole did what was best politically for him personally, rather than thinking about the greater picture), and I'd argue is at least a proximate cause of this war.
But the Nazi comparison is fucking laughable and horribly ignorant, and is a horrible overstep of the left.
Perfectly fine. Nothing wrong with this. No notes.
Abhorrent. Unconscionable. Deplorable. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Say what you will about the Israeli invasion and wholesale extermination of Gaza's native population, but they definitely aren't wearing the same uniforms.
Uh huh. So... show me the gas chambers and other mass-death centers.
I get that this Nazi comparison is just hyperbole. But I'm calling you out on it. Comparing Jewish people to Nazis is... counterproductive. There's no mass death center, or trains of civilians getting offloaded into camps where they dig their own graves and get gassed. Meanwhile, Hamas is using literally genocidal language and trying to wipe Israel off the map here.
The genocidal group is the dumbass Hamas in this conflict and you know it. Just because they're dumbasses who don't have the physical power / military strength to perform their promises doesn't change the fact that Hamas is far closer to the literal Nazis in this example.
Warsaw ghetto: At its height, as many as 460,000 Jews were imprisoned there,[5] in an area of 3.4 km2 (1.3 sq mi). 353,846/sq mile
Gaza: The Gaza Strip has almost exactly the same land area as Las Vegas but more than three times the population. Its largest city, Gaza City, is more tightly packed than New York City, with more than 650,000 people living within its 18 square miles. 36,100/sq mile (it should be noted that the previously inhabited/habitable area has been greatly reduced through bombing)
So no, not exactly the same. However, Palestinians are a captive population without rights, redress, or freedom of movement...a lot like inhabitants of the Warsaw ghetto were.
