    but we all know this will only end with Israel exterminating an entire population,

    It’s so goddamn hilarious that because of history and The Holocaust we aren’t allowed to bring up how deliciously ironic it is that a group of people that were rounded up for extermination are summarily rounding up a group of people for extermination.

    I can’t wait to see how this plays out in history.

      Who’s not allowed to bring it up? I’ll say it all day. I give no fucks that Israel doesn’t like it, fuck them.

      Keep in mind the Holocaust was all Jews, and Israel here in no way represents all Jews, as much as they’d like to.

      It fits in perfectly with history unfortunately. Members of group A inflict horror on members of group B. Some time passes, and some members of group B choose to inflict horror on group C and/or group A.

      It’s all just radical subsets of the population, who would love nothing more than to represent their whole group.

        I would just like to point out that the Holocaust was not JUST Jews. Other people were persecuted as well (such as LGBTQ+ peeps)

          Disabled people and political dissidents too. But LGBTQ+ people is especially apt to point out in this day and age.

            And black people.

            The Nazi campaign was mostly focused on Jews because they were the biggest and easiest to target minority but the Nazi’s killed everyone that wasn’t from “their group of people” and tried to replace that population with their own (expanding the Lebensraum)

              Pretty much. If you weren’t white and straight and a sycophant, you were on the chopping block. Normally women would probably be too, except they wanted that to have more Aryan babies 🤮

        Isreal is nothing but a continuation of the holocaust. The mass migration of jews from their nation of origin to a colony is genocide from all the European nations and America who supported and funded its creation. It was final solution part 2. Not even an original one, the nazis had the Same idea first for Madagascar

          That’s ahistorical and makes no sense. So, the UN created Israel to genocide the Jews?

            Don’t agree with the comment you replied to, but I guess they meant “created Israel to get rid of the Jews in Europe”

                It doesn’t hurt to add sources in any case. I know that UN created the state but I doubt anyone documented the reason for doing that especially such one
