    It’s bad, but “making nazis blush”? Let’s not blow things out of proportion by downplaying the holocaust. This doesn’t touch the Third Reich, Armenia, Cambodia, Mao, or Stalin. On one hand, genocide is genocide, but the scales are way different.

      It is of a lower scale than the Holocaust, because Israel is being held back by the international community. Most places in Gaza are either already in famine or will be soon at this rate. If Israel has its way the scale will match these genocides (as a proportion of the population of course). I do agree that comparisons to the Holocaust are exaggerations and therefore unproductive, but let’s not forget that the real genocide is just starting.

        that the real genocide is just starting

        yes. the comparison is apt, thats exactly my damn point.

        israel wouldnt be able to do anything close to what its doing right now without US weapons and money.

          The comparison will be apt if Israel succeeds, but fortunately it hasn’t yet. “This has the potential to be as bad as the Holocaust” and “this is as bad as the Holocaust” are different statements and mixing them up only hurts the cause.

            i said it was makong nazis blush. which it is.

            does a genocide has to be super successful for us to be able to compare it with another?

              That would normally be read as: This genocide is worse than the Holocaust. This is why people are taking issue with it.

                people should be taking issue with the fact its happening at all.

                  Yeah it is happening, too bad.

                  But putting this all on Biden means your entire rant is going to push people away from Biden, making Trump more likely to win. And Trump literally said they were going to make it even worse.

                  So you are essentially pushing Trump because it is a 2 party system. And Palestine will get genocide even more because of it.

                  That is why you are getting downvoted.

                    trump is very likely to win regardless, nobody in history has ever managed to vote away fascism.

                    even if he doesnt, your actual overlords seem keen in making it happen anyway, as evidenced be the current state of affairs right now

      sure lets argue the genocide is not too bad…

      this is the response you bothered to type out here? not even the usual “he is the lesser evil!!” or something

      sure stalin killed trillions somehow so we have some room to kill a few palestinians here and a couple more mexicans there and still look good for this years election cycle

        Thanks for putting words in my mouth! Maybe try rereading my comment?

        Once more for the people in the back: “Genocide is genocide, but the scales are incomparable”

          oh yes, its just a little genocide, not much! you surely cant compare it with nazis!

          what harm does it do?

          sure those other genocides cant compare with our finesse and compassion with the gazans or mexicans over this last century

          ever notice how the outwardly fascist conservatives love it? just a coincidence, our guy is blue not red!

              dunno but pretending not to be a closet nazi sure doesnt seem to be yours.

              the shoe seems to fit perfectly for you. mentioning nazis really got you going to defend your precious octogenarian maniac.

                  yes! genocide doesnt matter, what matters is my cheap hamburgers. its brown people elsewhere in the world so why should it matter to you right?

                  and the “opinions i dont like are from shills!” like putin is personally typing out comments on this small niche website just to spite you. thats just the icing on the cake, so good.

                  you shut up, fascist scum.
