Her Instagram post, translated in the link:
“Come on settlers, we will slaughter you. We are waiting for you in all the cities of the West Bank. What Hitler did to you was a picnic. We will drink your blood and eat your skulls”
She has since been arrested:
Now, imagine Jews having this sentiment towards Nazis during WW2.
After all, they’re doing to Palestinians what Nazis did to them.
I think a better comparison is the Berlin Wall. Palestinians have blue and green pass cards that dictate where they can go. Or even a Separate But Equal, ala American segregation. I mean Palestinians are limited to certain hospitals, denied utilities and free travel. They drive on separate roads, walled off from the Israeli roads.
… But then thats just the ones outside Gaza. Gazans can’t leave and spend their days in abhorrent poverty, now while dodging bombs.
Really?
They’re rounding up Palestinians, making them dig a trench, and using it as their mass grave after mowing them all down?
They’re putting Palestinians into showers and gassing them all?
They’re tying the hands of Palestinians together on a riverbank, and shooting one of them so they fall into the water and cause the rest to drown?
Don’t get me wrong: what Israel is doing is absolutely atrocious. But the Nazis engaged in a deliberate effort to depopulate Europe’s Jews. In 1933, there were about 9.5 million Jews in Europe. The Nazis murdered 6 million Jews, and only stopped because they lost the war. In 1900 there were ~590k German Jews. Only about 28k survived the holocaust.
If Israel were trying to replicate the holocaust on the Palestinians, they’d be doing a shit job of it. The Palestinian population has grown literally every year, despite all the disproportionate retributions. The situation in Gaza is terrible and Palestinians have faced a lot of repression, but it’s not really very similar to the Holocaust.
Weird how both you and the other guy have prepared statements already to deny that this is a Israeli genocide of Gazans just like the Holocaust was the German genocide of Jews.
They are on the same level. You don’t want to admit that because you’re trying to defend it.
Nazis also denied they were committing genocide for as long as possible. It was a good tactic to round up as many Jews as possible before people caught wind of what was going on.
I’m not saying Israel is good, here.
I’m saying that the depravity of the Nazis was next level. That they were completely inhumane monsters. What have you seen that even comes close to something like the sheer depravity of Josef Mengele? The industrialized death of Treblinka? The Nazis literally wiped out the entire Jewish population of Kyiv overnight; over 30k people were massacred in a single event, buried in a particular ravine and only 29 people managed to escape.
What israeli massacres have you seen that even come close to that? I’m being serious, here. Bombing a refugee camp or sniping kids at a protest is pretty fucking bad, but it’s not nazi bad.
Oh really?
Can you show me where the IDF had a doctor take two Palestinian twin children, cut open their backs, sew them back together back to back?
Or infect one twin with typhoid and then do an organ transplant from that one to the other?
Does an IDF doctor have a wall of different colored eyeballs harvested from Palestinians?
Remove their bones, muscles, and nerves without anesthesia?
Maybe attach a 7 year old girl’s urinary tract to her own colon?
The Holocaust is in its own category for a reason, and just because it’s become posh to compare literally everything to it or Hitler doesn’t mean that those things are actually comparable.
Genocide is genocide.
Correct. But not all genocides are the Holocaust.
I’m sure that’ll be really comforting to a child whose family got shot by settlers in the West Bank.
Right, but unless those children are then being put in ovens and burnt to ash, it’s literally not a Holocaust which gets its name from the type of animal sacrifice in antiquity where the whole animal was burnt to ash.
That’s why the Holocaust is called the Holocaust.
We can still talk about genocide as a bad thing like the Armenian genocide, or Russian actions in Ukraine, or what happened in Rawanda, etc.
But none of those were Holocausts, and neither is this.
Not even close.
It’s close enough that they should know better.
Which line would they cross that you would consider too close?
