Exactly. I have nothing against Israelis or Russia or Americans. I just hate their governments and what they do to the world.
All this is much more vomitous even. Tactics of any fascist regime, if you can't invent enemies to justify your actions, create them yourself.
Anti-semitism accusations in 3....2...
you can't call us Nazis when we do things they did
More world leaders need to do this
Just Lula doing Lula things. He'a like your kind uncle whose heart's in the right place but sometimes goes a bit far.
I agree with this part:
But then record scratch, like Lula do you not even history:
Not cool, a lot of Ashkenazi Jews aren't Zionists and not live in Israel.
Name itself is coming from legendary figure of Ashkenaz, grandson of Japhet who as the direct descendant of Noah symbolise Germany. Germany was called Eretz Ashkenaz in Yiddish since medieval, and so Ashkenazi Jews = Jews in Germany, from where they spread to nearly entire west, north and east Europe when they were running away from pogroms.
How did you even managed to read it that way
Netizen mental gymnastics obviously 🧐
Just like Mandarin speakers saying 那个 is highly suspicious... Oh wait, no it's not because there's more than one language in the world, and whatsmore different words can mean different things in different languages
Israel is definitely committing acts of genocide, but holocaust comparisons are hyperbole; they haven't been rounding up Palestinians by the thousands and putting them in gas chambers. Even the most evil acts imaginable still fall on a spectrum.
Ok, true, no gas chambers... But rounding up Palestinians and lobbing in bombs... That's what's happening in rafah right now... Except it's not thousands... It's more.
@S_204 there's two issues here.
Auschwitz and the Shoah was not the only genocide, you don't even need camps to carry out a genocide.
What Israel is doing is definitely a genocide but whether or not other genocides should be compared to the Holocaust is a separate issue.
