I am well aware of history, thank you. I've been to Dachau and Auschwitz. It was horrible.
You are making a difference without distinction. All I read is, the mass killing of Arabs is not as bad as the mass killing of Jews. Doesn't matter that they are mass killing Palestinians, starving the whole country, raping women and children, bombing hospitals, using chemical weapons, torturing prisoners. Tell me that the Israelis are not stripping the Palestinians of their dignity and all they are worth. Morally speaking I see no difference.
Even if I were to concede that Nazis were worse than what Israel is doing in Palestine, and that its not a genocide, it does change the fact of the immortality and human rights violalation they are perpetrating because of the Zionist ideology.
You clearly have a bone to pick with anyone with disagrees with Zionism. I'm done.
So this is the end? I object to a Holocaust comparison, and that make you leave the discussion? I don't know why you need to balance large scale crimes against humanity out against each other. To me each is a ultimate failure of humans, and each is singular in their mechanics. The Nazis had perfected the industrialized mass killing, which makes the Holocaust somewhat unique among genocides. That doesn't make other genocides being not-genocide or something, but the comparison also just doesn't cut it. If anything it serves to make one wonder if you are among those who trivialize the Holocaust.
I stated multiple times that I disagree with Netanyahus treatment of the Palestinians and that I want to see him in court for his crimes.
Nevertheless the antizionist movement alltooften throws it all together, matched only by other extremist ideologies. It is extremely one sided in their version of history, uses unreasonable comparisons and arguments in areas where I am somewhat knowledgeable and where I can't follow.
I hear the accusations, but when they come from antizionists, they're distinguishable from "Jews are the devil" only by the other word "Zionists". So how close is it to standard antisemitism?
Netanyahu and his own extremists belong to justice, along with the soldiers that actually do the crimes against humanity. That doesn't make me any more willing to follow the other extremists.
