This might just sound like the same old shit others voice with the recent gaza genocide, but ive hated israel for far longer. In high school i read a book called the olive grove, its based on a true story of a Palestinian family that lost every thing to the zionist movement. It follows 3 generation of the family from the first world war till after the second. It tells of the horrors they faced by the us backed terrorists taking their home and land turning away from the atrocities being committed. Its heart breaking, and when i read it in 2009 i didnt fully understand but seeing all the shit done now, i just think this cycle of hate started and can not be stopped.
Idk what else to say, i mean i could go on and on but i dont have the mental capacity to do so while drinking. I recommend others to read the book, it was a very good read when i was a high schooler and i plan to start it again as soon as i can find my copy.
Yeah man idk about worse than nazis. It’s extremely hard to be worse than nazis. You need to go read up on the horrors the Nazis committed before saying anything is worse or as bad as Nazis.
Since we're talking about hot takes, here's mine. The Nazis are the most reviled because Hitler did the "unthinkable": he tried to colonize the colonizers by claiming to be whiter than the whites. So, the atrocities committed by nazis are somehow way more inexcusable than the ones committed by the British over "brown people". They ran concentration camps too, but since the victims were black, people doesn't seem too bothered by it.
And don't get me started about slavery, where people were grabbed and treated like animals, packed in ships as packages, and forced to work in their own concentration camps for the white guys.
What the Nazis did was horrible, but let's not pretend they're the only evil ones. Israel is just as bad, the difference being they're doing it over brown people which makes it somehow more acceptable on the eyes of the world.
Im not going to defend the british empire. But these atrocities are off by a significant factor compared to the holocaust.
There were over 40,000 jewish ghettos and concentration camps.
In the ghettos, jews (and romani, and others) were rationed on 250cal per day, lived 7 to a room. Warsaw ghetto had a peek population of 460,000. At least 300,000 were shot, and a further 92,000 died of starvation and disease. Despite thousands (if not 10s of thousands) of people being forced into the ghetto, the population never increased.
Auschwitz had the highest survival rate of the concentration camps, where 1.1 million died of the 1.3 million that went "through" that camp.
Yes, the british empire has done horrendous things. But nowhere on the scale and ferocity of the holocaust.
I think the early 1900s were very dark, and a lot of people did horrendous things. Actually, probably doing a lot of horrendous things in the 1800s as well.
Id like to think humanity has learned since then
If they were even close, there would have been nothing left of Gaza after the first three days. Everyone that managed to survive somehow would be in concentration camps already.
So yeah, not even close. Still bad tho...
Just because israel is going about their genocide differently doesnt make it less evil. They have the support of many countries that felt bad for what hitler did to them. So of course they are keeping a line of not going to far in order to stay looking like a good guy.
Leopold II, Stalin, U.S. Indian Removal Act, Genghis Khan. It's doable, sadly, but with Israel the issue is scale, not intent or magnitude of the hate involved.
The nazis had about a decade to commit evil, but israel has been at it for 70+ years. We dont even know all the horrible things that have been done. So no ill stick with worse then nazis. This is unpopular opinions after all.
They've become monstrous, but don't forget who fed the beast and always looked the other way when it bit a neighbour. So much American money has been given to them over the decades that AIPAC spends a lot of money making sure it doesn't stop. Meanwhile Netanyahu has indirectly enabled and supported Hamas so his casus belli stays in play perpetually
I agree, he litteraly helped hamas to the point where an attack of this size could be half justified. Bibi wanted the attack to happen, and he plans on wiping out as many people as he can before its not politicaly beneficial. Then they will just get another to do the same in a few years untill israel controls everything.
I hate knowing my country is funding them. And I hate even more that if I dont want democracy to finish crumbling under trumps baby sized thumbs Biden is the only current option.
