It is of a lower scale than the Holocaust, because Israel is being held back by the international community. Most places in Gaza are either already in famine or will be soon at this rate. If Israel has its way the scale will match these genocides (as a proportion of the population of course). I do agree that comparisons to the Holocaust are exaggerations and therefore unproductive, but let's not forget that the real genocide is just starting.
yes. the comparison is apt, thats exactly my damn point.
israel wouldnt be able to do anything close to what its doing right now without US weapons and money.
The comparison will be apt if Israel succeeds, but fortunately it hasn't yet. "This has the potential to be as bad as the Holocaust" and "this is as bad as the Holocaust" are different statements and mixing them up only hurts the cause.
i said it was makong nazis blush. which it is.
does a genocide has to be super successful for us to be able to compare it with another?
That would normally be read as: This genocide is worse than the Holocaust. This is why people are taking issue with it.
people should be taking issue with the fact its happening at all.
instead i got this drivel that "voters dont mind!" or some shit
Yeah it is happening, too bad.
But putting this all on Biden means your entire rant is going to push people away from Biden, making Trump more likely to win. And Trump literally said they were going to make it even worse.
So you are essentially pushing Trump because it is a 2 party system. And Palestine will get genocide even more because of it.
That is why you are getting downvoted.
trump is very likely to win regardless, nobody in history has ever managed to vote away fascism.
even if he doesnt, your actual overlords seem keen in making it happen anyway, as evidenced be the current state of affairs right now
Yeah that's nonsense. Voters absolutely do mind, as they should.
