Look at this objectively, like a political scientist, like a historian, like someone who understands what happens in wars and psychology and then, yes, it's clearly nothing like Nazi Germany and comparing the two is dumb.
Like you don't think I could go to ANY war ever - between France and England or the USA and Japan or Peru and Ecuador and not find all kinds of horrid ****?
Micro the reason you're wrong here is simple to me, so I get passionate.
This was already happening exactly like this in 1880, 1890, 1900, 1910, 1920, 1930, 1940
You've all convinced yourselves this is just revenge for the Nakba. My friend, they were killing us 100 years before the word Nakba ever existed, and hundreds of years even before that. You are zoomed into this moment in time. You are totally forgetting your people's history going way back before that. And in that time, just like now, they murdered us, pogromed us, chased us.
I get your Nakba guilt Micro. What I'm telling you is even if you remove it and change time, they hate us and try to kill us. Because history PROVES it. And go look at other countries in the region. Same fate!
There are people in this thread who get it. There are people who simply never will. Before there ever was an Israel, Muslims generally disliked and tormented Jews (let us agree that many didn't). All that Israel did was give a place for those Jews to defend themselves.
