Let me consider your points here and consult a few other smarter people, and I'll get back to you. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

Soviets = Russian Nazis

Japanese = Asian Nazis

the settlers... if CNN says its a genocide, its probably a genocide.

yes that could be the one
it was a twitter post you linked.

I have requested multiple times since this thread reopened that posts like the above not be made. This needs to Stop.

The next post like this from *anyone* is going to result in timeouts from the thread.

Do Not call each other antisemites and nazis.

Please don’t ban Mets. His posting is very important as it allows us to discuss topics we wouldn’t otherwise

No not just that, I clearly outlined my reasons earlier

They have a death camp called GAZA

No they don't but I get you're big on hyperbole.

If CNN says it's a genocide, it's probably because they think saying that helps Biden v Trump, till November they literally don't care about anything else

Nah. They know the beach clubs and country clubs can't run themselves.

Israeli's beat the **** out of a truck driver bc they thought he was delivering aid to Gaza. he was supposedly going to the WB. they then destroyed the truck contents. last I checked, no arrests.

another Biden staffer quits with scathing words

It’s a place with fences and gates where they aren’t allowed to leave and they are killed by IDF

Most of the Jewish community. It's offensive to MOST of it.

I'd like to point out that typically when people call Jews Nazis, we immediately call them antisemites. Because frankly it's one of the most horrific things you can say to a Jew. So consider the context like that and you'll discover we have a very easy path to peace in here...

Here's some logic for you 57. If I contend something does exist, I can prove it with example(s). If you contend that something does not exist, you cannot prove that with example(s). Herzl is one example and sure, he's important in Zionist history, but so is Einstein and even moreso...picking an example, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henrietta_Szold, the founder of Hadassah.

So Apartheid is the best hope for Gazans? That is, I mean, a continuation of the current apartheid but in a more overt way.

Yes, it is. The point is not that Nazis are especially bad, which of course they are, but that you are saying, hey, you know those people who literally killed your Great-Uncle and Aunt? When a black person is being cruel to an employee, you don't call them Simon Legree unless you are literally asking them, and any other black person who overhears it, to fight you. There are plenty of other bad people to be compared to. Stalin and Mao come to mind, but if you don't want to dis communists, there's still South Africa or USA killing Native Americans.

well is it ok for a Gazan to make the comparison? considering that Israel killed their Great Uncle and Aunt? and at this point probably their kids, cousins, brothers and sisters too.

She's right and it's sad that some people embrace being tokenized, turned into mascots.

Between comparing this war to the Nazi's systemematic mass extermination of the Jews, and the battle for Manila in 1945, I think the second is a closer comparison.

100,000 non-combatants died in the battle for Manila. it was a siege situation like this one. The surface areas were comparable enough. The density of combatants and non-combatants very similar. The Japanese had over 1000 hostages. The Japanese used non-combatants as human shields. I'd say that's probably where most of the comparisons end, because the Japanese were much more barbaric than Hamas. But situationally that horror show of a siege is very similar. And it's considered one of the true human tragedies (as wars go), as this too will be.

But on Oct 7th, Israel was invaded by in excess of 4000 armed terrorists, under the cover of at least 3000 missiles. That is an act of war by any standard, and war has come. That day, Sinwar made a choice for all of Gaza. We're all just living out his sick fantasy now.

I don't mind dissing Stalin, but that would be a poor comparison imo. Crushing dissent isn't the aim in Gaza, just a determination to eradicate Gazans under the pretext that they might have been in a similar area to someone who may or may not have been in Hamas.

Mao doesn't work either.

Native American genocide was too long ago to upset people now and some probably even quietly think it was a good thing because they're rich as a result of it. Same with Maoris and Aboriginals.

Apartheid sort of describes the separation under duress and restriction of rights but not the months of rocket attacks and the decades of sheling, shooting and killing before October.

Maybe there's no suitable analogy.

I didn't say anything about 'ok'. Is it ok to offend people? to be offensive? to ask people to fight?

The Nazis have nothing to do with it though. The only point is to offend. One might as well say "I want to offend you" or "I want to provoke you" or "I want to hurt you" or "I want to fight you" and leave it at that.

Nazis were 70 years ago and Native American genocide was more or less wrapping up like 110 years ago. Not that big a difference.

South Africa is def the best analogy and it's also more recent.
