| The moment Israel started dropping white phosphorus bombs on the Gaza strip turned it into a literal "holocaust" (destruction or slaughter on a mass scale, especially caused by fire or nuclear war). And, they've been dropping white phosphorus since 2009. https://www.denverpost.com/2009/01/11/israel-accused-of-usin... Prior to that, it was "just" a garden variety genocide, enforced by apartheid and with enforced starvation of at least 1.1 million people. It is NOT "The Holocaust" (event in World War 2), but it ABSOLUTELY is *a* holocaust. I would have thought the descendants of The Holocaust who ended up in Israel would have remembered the horrors, and actually believed in "Never Again" for all peoples. But it really meant "Never again to us". EDIT: To gryzzly : I would appreciate where I'm being "hateful". And you claim lies. What exactly am I lying about? Your pattern of "discourse" here is just fly-by namecalling slurs. Hopefully you'll change that. to hotdogscout: I'm using the strict definitions of genocide, holocaust, and apartheid. And "October 7 was worse than anything Israel did. If you have a better way to get the hostages back and guarantee this doesn't happen again I'm all ears. " The answer has ALWAYS been "2 state solution", to of which Israel's response is bulldoze, subjugate, bomb, murder. Its completely unsurprising that the ones subject to such extreme violence on a mass scale (genocide enters chat) invokes people who are willing to stand up to such extreme violence. If this was compared to that other war going on, Israel is the Russia as the murdering and invading force, and Palestine is Ukraine and those defending their homes and themselves from mass destruction and death. |
