also i think part of what annoys jews is like yeah nazis rounded people up and stripped them naked but that wasnât like one of the more particularly henious things they did. itâs unfortunately a very common human rights violation and you could compare it to many many other things. like when i saw the picture i thought of CECOT
I mean I think CECOT is nazi stuff as well. We can't forget that before the death camps Jews & other marginalized people were being rounded up & put into camps like CECOT & the Nazis originally planned to do mass deportation but quickly saw how expensive & switched to mass murder & worked to make it more efficient. As for people celebrating if they were Jews unfortunately yeah probably although that wasn't what the tweet was talking about. Because if they were Jewish out media & politicians
Would be none stop covering it & honestly rightfully so but theyâre an insane double standard in our media & with our politicians when it comes to Arabs. As for the Nazis & the holocaust youâre 100% right. At the same time we donât know how many people have been killed in Gaza & the genocide is still ongoing
iâd disagree i think people are way too fast to compare things to naziism in general. we tend to use ânaziâ as a euphemism for âreally evil stuffâ which comes from a very long history of non jews treating jewish history as a morality play or like an allegory they can use to talk about themselves instead of an actual particular history
I donât necessarily disagree with you. Again if & when the roles are reversed our media & politicians tend to stay pretty silent but the only reason they cover things happening to Jews the way they do is because of Israel & outside of defending/ trying to help Israel our media & politicians could give two Fâs about Jews & obviously & other marginalized group for that matter.
i donât disagree but i would correct âdefending/trying to help israelâ to âtrying to get the maximum profit out of the situationâ. they donât actually care about israel either, they care about keeping the money flowing to the defense contractor companies theyâre in bed with
I do disagree however as far as comparing things to the Nazis or holocaust. I mean first Israel is doing a genocide & I think that warrant the Nazi comparison but also I think itâs important because most people rightfully realize how evil & wrong the Holocaust was. By pointing out the similarities early hopefully they will be stopped before they get to the point where so much of the population have been wiped out. Itâs like saying âHey look these guys are acting/ doing the same things as the
but the idea that most people realize how evil and wrong the Holocaust was is itself actually not true. many many people donât consider it evil and wrong, or donât consider it entirely true. one poll showed 37% of americans think the holocaust was at least exaggerated if not made up
I think itâs both. They want to help/ defend Israel due to defense contractors but also due to money from groups like AIPAC although at the end of the day itâs ultimately due to money as you pointed out & not any genuine concern to Jews or anyone else. The only thing they care about is the benjaminâs and not Benjamin Netanyahu outside of how much money he can get them⊠see what I did there lol
Thatâs wild but ultimately not surprising unfortunately in this climate that people would think it was exaggerated⊠not good. I think another thing that surprises me is that many Americans think we fought to help & protect Jews & donât realize that much of the west was deeply antisemitic & unfortunately agreed with Hitler
Okay because Iâd be surprised if it was more than 30% although 30% is still far too high. Yeah I think we purposely do a bad job of teaching history I mean we do the same thing with MLk & the civil rights movement. The majority of white people hated MLk & thought he was âtoo violentâ when he was alive but our history books spin it. We turned away Jews trying to flee the Nazis but again weâre taught an alternative history that paints the U.S. & the West in a much better light
100% and I read into it more and people interpret the poll differently, it was one of those âstrongly agreeââagreeâ âsomewhat agreeâ âslightly agreeâ âneither agree nor disagreeâ âslightly disagreeâ âsomewhat disagreeâ âdisagreeâ âstrongly disagreeâ annoying ones
Yeah those type of poll questions can be annoying. I kid you not I one time had someone tell me that MLK ended segregation in America by gaining popular support & when I told them they were extremely wrong they told me they did a book report on him in 4th grade so they knew all about MLK. Iâm not going to lie it took everything in me not to crash out on them đđ
