"This latte is cold, this is a second holocaust, and antisemitic."

Yes, clearly Israel is using their weapons for defensive purposes, and if more weapons arent provided (for um defense, or course), All Israelis are under threat of annhialation.

The eliminiation of the Israeli state doesnt have to cause a second holocaust. Just go back to where you, your parents and your grandparents lived before you invaded other peoples homes.

But it's way easier to kill some people in the Middle East and give their land away than taking actual responsibilty for the Holocaust.

Sir, Philadelphia is on the line. They say it's urgent.

I'm willing to compromise.

The people born there can stay, but they have to become Palestinian.

"Does israel have a right to exist?"

The answer to this is: did nazi Germany have a right to exist?

Second holocaust?

Dude, you are committing the second holocaust, so that technically would be the third.

Having said that, aren't you kind of the reason why that would happen in the first place? Israel has had more than enough opportunities to make peace with everyone around it a hundred times over and so far all it has done is investing in making sure that shit got worse, like actually funding Hamas so that they could fight Hamas harder.

You dug your own grave here, I won't push you in it, but I also won't cry for you if you decide to jump in it

assuming holocaust=genocide, then this is not the second. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_genocides

A Holocaust, ~~entomologically~~ etymologically, is a mass sacrifice in fire.

This genocide is particularly notable for how many people have been burned.

Maybe, just maybe, if you wanted to exist peacefully with your neighbors you'd stop indiscriminately bombing civilians and violating their civil rights.

Those people deserve to live in peace just as much as you. Stop being the aggressor. It's not fucking hard.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Go educate yourself on how Israel came into being in the first place.

It wasn't through peacefully asking Palestinians to share the land but by three groups, who gleefully wore the title of "terrorists" that bombed & killed their way into terrifying the populace.

It wasn't the Palestinians that planted a bomb in the King David Hotel that killed 96 in 1947. It wasn't Palestinians that carried out atrocities such as throwing babies into ovens in Deir Yassin and Tantura.

Israel was born out of collaboration with colonisers & imperialists, through selling out other Jews who opposed zionism, through a thousand acts of indiscriminate terrorism against the indigenous population and through an apartheid system since.

Bbbbbut what about October 7th?!!!

It's history equivalence is the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising but Israel ain't the oppressed fighting back.

Palestinians deserve peace a lot more than their colonizers.

They can all fuck right off. There is so much I'd like to say but I cannot because I will be accused of inciting violence. Funny how Right wing and zionist incitement is allowed on social media, but when anyone left leaning says anything immediate bans. I'm hoping something of biblical proportions happens in Israel. Maybe it will turn into a self fulfilling prophesy, anyway, these are words, I can't encourage anyone other than any gods out there to rain sulfer and all that. I sympathise with the left wing Jews in Israel, but unfortunately, the genocide continues and this is their governement. Much like Maga now is, like it or not, the face of America, well Genocide is now the face of Israel.

Good. Fuck israel. I hope to see it burn.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The irony is this violence is not from you. It spawned from Israel's own actions. And when will they learn that their actions have consequences

Well not to split hairs, but seeing as they are currently perpetrating Second Holocaust, it would have to be more like Third Holocaust. But the problem with the Israeli comments is that unarmed civilians aren’t very effective at holocausts.

"If you dont fund my genocide I'll definitely be killed, because theres no way I'd stop my ethnic cleansing or give Palestinians their land and homes back."

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago

Not having an arms embargo is allowing the 2nd Holocaust right now.

“If we end apartheid then it’s the end of South Africa!”

“If we don’t exterminate the Jews then it’s the end of Germany!”

We’ve heard this before.

Fuck you, israel is a state based on genocide of everyone living around. So don't bring back the Holocaust card. It was terrible, but has nothing to do with wiping out whole country of Palestine, so they can implant more religious jewish fanatics instead.
