It's kinda insane how comparing Israel & IDF to Germany & the Nazis will get you labeled as antisemitic or at least insensitive despite Israel literally copying the Nazi đŸ˜”â€đŸ’«

also i think part of what annoys jews is like yeah nazis rounded people up and stripped them naked but that wasn’t like one of the more particularly henious things they did. it’s 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

the thing that makes nazis so bad is they industrialized a genocide of two scattered minority population across an entire continent on the basis of racial hate and succeeded in killing estimated 66% of one population and 90% of the other

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 they’re an insane double standard in our media & with our politicians when it comes to Arabs. As for the Nazis & the holocaust you’re 100% right. At the same time we don’t know how many people have been killed in Gaza & the genocide is still ongoing

i’d disagree i think people are way too fast to compare things to naziism in general. we tend to use “nazi” as a euphemism for “really evil stuff” 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

but the difference between people saying it about CECOT and this guy is the CECOT people were clearly saying it out of concern for the victims and this guy is making a comment on the ethnic group of the perpetrator

also i mean i don’t know. i think yeah our politicians and media would be all over it but not all in an actual positive way even if they disguise it that way. you’re right though that we don’t know the extent of death in gaza and what we do know is horrifying enough

i think people tend to care about stuff happening to jews only when it is politically convenient for them. same is true for palestinians and arabs and a lot of other groups. it’s just a fucked up media environment for minorities all around in the US

I don’t 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 F’s about Jews & obviously & other marginalized group for that matter.

i don’t disagree but i would correct “defending/trying to help israel” to “trying to get the maximum profit out of the situation”. they don’t actually care about israel either, they care about keeping the money flowing to the defense contractor companies they’re 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 it’s 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. It’s like saying “Hey 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 don’t consider it evil and wrong, or don’t consider it entirely true. one poll showed 37% of americans think the holocaust was at least exaggerated if not made up

I think it’s 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 it’s 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 benjamin’s and not Benjamin Netanyahu outside of how much money he can get them

That’s 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 & don’t realize that much of the west was deeply antisemitic & unfortunately agreed with Hitler

Okay because I’d 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 “too violent” when he was alive but our history books spin it. We turned away Jews trying to flee the Nazis but again we’re 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 “strongly agree”“agree” “somewhat agree” “slightly agree” “neither agree nor disagree” “slightly disagree” “somewhat disagree” “disagree” “strongly disagree” 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. I’m not going to lie it took everything in me not to crash out on them 😭😭
