No, the argument is that Israeli Jews are acting exactly like Germans did during the Nazi era. They either don't care or they cheer on the slaughter of innocent civilians. The destruction of Gaza is more complete than the destruction of Dresden during WWI or of Warsaw after the ghetto uprising. Yet more than half of all Jewish Israelis think their army is using too little force! This and many other frightening statistics indicate that Jewish Israelis are just as genocidal as the Germans were or the Hutsi.

The difference is that Jewish Israelis have access to contrarian views. The Germans and Rwandans had no free press and no internet to access alternative opinions on. That the Jewish Israelis have, but by and large still choose fascism and murder is despicable.

This bullshit makes you complicit. You're not in uniform, perhaps, but you are here online debate-lording your way to the last word. The Spanish government did not call for genocide after the 2004 Madrid attack (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_Madrid_train_bombings), nor did the French government after the 2015 Paris attack (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/November_2015_Paris_attacks). Neither Spain nor France took revenge on the Islamists by carpet-bombing civilians.

> Israel is within its rights to wage this war, it has good reasons, it is persecuting it within the norms for similar wars. It is not committing genocide and "your country is on trial for genocide" is bullshit and you know it.

No, I don't know it and neither does the court that decided to accept the case. No, Israel is not "persecuting it within the norms for similar wars". It currently has displaced almost all Gazans, destroyed over 50% of all buildings (that much more than Japan and Germany during WWII), and is starving children to death. If you can't see how fucking evil that is, you are a lost cause.

Sorry, this was harsh. HN does not allow you to edit comments otherwise I would.
