  • And the lots of civilians killed are killed like civilians are killed in most wars. Shitty but not comparable to ww2 Germany.

    IDF is literally making tiktoks braggin about killing unarmed random people. Doctors in Gaza report children executed with single shots to the head, indicating IDF snipers deliberately hunting children. We’ve seen people burned alive, people beheaded, unarmed people hunted down by drones, clearly marked aid convoys blown up, journalists assasinated with precision strikes… And Gaza looks very similar to Stalingrad in being a field of rubble.

    The scale is not the same and Israel is not running extermination camps (yet). But on the military side it has a lot of similarities to Eastern Front Wehrmacht.

    It is extremely dangerous and part of both the new Nazis and Zionist playbook to designate the Holocaust as a “singular event”, implying that there was no genocide of similar scope before, or there could be after it.

    Looking for example how Britain systematically stared more than 10 million people to death in India, the Holocaust isn’t even the worst genocide in terms of absolute numbers.

    In particular in Germany this “singularity” trope is heavily used as propaganda, of how Germany has learned from its history, when it didn’t. New authoritarian measures? Cannot be compared because how dare you compare it to the rise of fascism, that lead to the one and only Holocaust?! Deliberate ramping up of racist rethoric accompanied by more violent hate crime? It is not the Holocaust so why are you saying it feels like the late 20s again?!

    And of course subsequently: How dare you say Gaza is a concentration camp?! How can you imply any similarity between Israel and the Nazis?! You evil antisemite! Oh you are a renowned Jewish scholar that studied the Holocaust? Your parents have barely survived the concentration camps? Well you are against Israel so you are “alledgedly Jewish” or how about “self hating Jew”?

    This is the actual discourse in Germany. Jews not aligned with Zionism are heavily targeted by Politicians and state bureaucrats in a heavily antisemitic manner. And this “Holocaust is singular” argumentation is part of it.

    “Situation in a conflict zone where both sides has been killing each other for decades is not simple and has no simple solution”

    It is not a “conflict zone” and it is not “complicated”. It is classical settler colonialism with the inevitable goal of ethnically cleansing and genociding the native population. By this logic the Nazi “Lebensraum” ideology of invading Poland, systematically murdering not only Jews and other minorities, but death-Squadding entire villages to then settler their own people on the land would somehow be “complicated”.










  • Knowing the law and upholding the law are not necessarily the same thing though.

    Britains Labour party leader Keir Starmer is also a lawyer specialised in international human rights, yet he repeatedly claimed Israeli war crimes not to be war crimes.

    Germany currently has a scandal, where the ministry of education tried to defund researchers who signed an open letter, defending students rights to protest. First of all this is highly unconstitutional and unethical, because the constitution grants both freedome of speech and freedom of science. Second of all, targeting dissident scientists is particularly icky in Germany, given the Nazi history. The executor of that ministers order, who was then sacrificed to take the whole blame for it, was the head of Germanys ethics advisor council to the government.

    Expert manipulators and sexual predators are very good at using power imbalances to make people think they want this and pursue it, when i fact they are manipulated into making advances.

    Now whether that was the case is debatable, but there is no blanket “she wanted it” check to hand out here.
