But .ml was telling us that Trump would stop the genocide not supercharge it. How can this be? /s
The tankies would never worship and cover for authoritarians!/s
Wasn’t it literally plan A for the Nazis?
Guess who was in a Jewish militant group in British-occupied Palestine?
Netanyahu's parents. They changed their name from something Polish to the much more semitic Netanyahu and emigrated in Palestine in the 1920s with the express idea of creating a Jewish state.
Netanyahu and his family did not suffer from the Holocaust, they benefited from it.
Far too few people know and I don't blame them or you for not knowing because it's in Netanyahu's interest to make people think he's also a victim and the ever-compliant media plays along.
The only reason I even know is that one day I decided to look up his family and see what happened to them during WWII. So if I hadn't, sort of on a whim, taken the initiative to look it up, I would be as in the dark about it as most people.
And I wish there were a way for me to let people know beyond "talk about it on internet forums," but I don't have that sort of influence.
I'm also a non-religious Jew, so yeah, I get that.
Hmmm, but certainly this time it'll work.
Iirc, they also sent them into a bunch of countries in a lot of the EU, which worked alright...until they started occupying most of the EU countries then they went into "the final solution"
Actually, concentration camps came very early. And the Nazis were very open about these concentration camps, because they figured they would serve as a deterrent. However, they weren't initially used to house Jewish people, but mostly for political opponents, like socialists. Later came the intellectuals, journalists, teachers, scientists, etc. And of course other undesirables like gay people.
Extermination camps, however, were a relatively late addition. And they were kept secret. The systemic extermination of Jewish people began after the Wannsee Conference in 1942, where Nazi leadership discussed the Final Solution to the Jewish Problem. Under Operation Reinhard they started building the six extermination camps:
The first 4 camps were built specifically and solely to kill people.
Aside from smaller efforts to deport Jewish people to a bunch of different countries, they also came up with what is basically the first 'Final Solution' - one of deportation, not extermination: The Madagascar Plan.
They were going to round up and sent all the Jewish people to Madagascar. But well, they failed to defeat the British and when they realized that an invasion of GB was pretty much impossible, they kind of gave up on it.
A lot of people associate Nazis with extermination camps (which, well obviously it's true), but extermination was never Plan A for Nazis. They never cared if Jewish people died, but initially they just wanted to get rid of undesirables/Jewish people, not necessarily kill them all. The industrialized genocide came much later, more out of desperation and a need for efficiency than anything else.
This just to say that bullshit arguments like "he's not a fascist/Nazi because he's not gassing people" are exactly that: bullshit arguments. Nazis were Nazis long before the first extermination camp was built.
No, fucking stop. Ethnic cleansing is genocide. Period.
Or was the Naqba not genocidal?
I think he's implying that once you complete your genocide it kind of comes to a natural end. It's the worst way to end genocide because you killed everyone.
Ethnic cleansing is a step below genocide. The Democrats went for genocide. So far Trump only wants ethnic cleansing. Also his argument for ethnic cleansing is the destruction that the Democrats caused during the genocide.
This is not defend Trump. It is to remember that the Democrats are as equally part of the oligarchy and criminal empire as the Republicans. No positive change can come out of the current Democratic party. It needs to be reformed from the bottom up, or replaced by an actually progressive party.
Go read the actual definition of genocide and then come back.
It is distinct crimes. Forcefully displacing people from an area is not the same as annihilating people. And i am amazed that this is something you want to dispute.
Ethnic cleansing is a step below genocide. There is a possibility that ethnic cleansing escalates to genocide, as has been seen many times in history, but equating the two is like equating murder (genocide) and abduction (ethnic cleansing)

Did you even read what you posted?
First fucking sentence under the heading "Ethnic Cleansing Background:"
That's a copy paste from your own post, you fucking ghoul. Ethnic cleansing IS genocide, and all your mental gymnastics won't change that fact.
If Palestinians felt that being displaced from their homes was acceptable, they would have left a long time ago.
This is not an improvement. This is Israel's 'final solution' coming to fruition. Those that allowed Trump to be elected are complicit.
