It’s insane how the attrocities committed against black and brown people are seen as justified or are sanitized or flat out swept under the rug while atrocities against “white” people are considered sacred and pushed to the forefront of history.

Palestine?

Yep. People acting as if experiencing a genocide in the past justifies enacting a genocide in the present, too. I’m Sikh and my family lived through the 1984 genocide in India, but I can still call out Khalistanis for the terrorists that they are. (For the record, they aim to create an independent ethnostate of Sikhs and have a track record of violence. Yeah, sounds awfully similar to a modern-day genocidal ethnostate.)

Palestine is one but it isnt the only one. King Leopold II killed 10 million people in the Congo Free State numbers comparable to the holocaust yet everyone has heard about one but barely about the other. Or even how the apartheid in South Africa was however the same white elites that caused this apartheid are the same ones trump helped leave the country.

No I think he was referring to how Palestinian atrocities are downplayed. At least that’s how I took it.

Brother this event didnt happen this year. Nor did it happen October 7th. Palestinians have faced aggression from Israel for literal decades. You only hear more about it now but even going back a year ago, it was controversial to even call it a genocide. The UN just recently deemed it a genocide and even now you’d hardly have any politician on either side call it that in the first place. For the past few decades Israel’s aggression was deemed self defense. That’s why you gave compilations of

Again this event wasn’t even considered a genocide officially until recently. You are acting as though the past few years people supported Palestinians. Literally multiple people were deported for calling it a genocide and many were fired. The death toll even now is an understatement. I don’t understand why you act as if you’ve short-term memory. Either that or you weren’t paying attention to the past few years.

Did yk that the first concentration camps were in South Africa between 1904 and 1908. The Herero and Nama genocides is what they are known as and they aren’t talked about in history. Over 7,000 Herero and over 2,000 Nama ppl were murdered in that camp

South Africa? You mean German South West Africa which the genocide there would be the blueprints for the Holocaust and no one ever talks about that nor does the German government really do anything to address this except the classic European response of “here’s cash now shut up about the atrocities we did”

But then again Germany wasn’t force to recognize / reconcile the genocide it committed against the Nama and Herero like it was forced to do with the Holocaust especially today but that is not surprising
