    Encouraging Jews to leave “voluntarily” was Hitler’s first step, too. Then when most people don’t want to leave their homes, you justify your escalation by saying you gave them a chance.

      It’s annoying making the comparison derails the conversation so much. Yeah, sure, one of the ethnicities involved happens to be repeating and that sucks, but that’s the one genocide people know stuff about.

      Edit: Lol, didn’t expect this to get downvoted. Why?

          What!? Where did I say that??

          I was complaining that you can’t compare the Holocaust to the current situation in Israel-Palestine at all, even when they do the exact same stuff, or a lot of people freak out.

      Yeah and back then it was Zionists who collaborated with him to populate Palestine with 60,000 German Jews.

    So he wants to kill 90% of the populace in a geographical region.

    How does anyone deny this is genocide?

        It is not possible to move 1.8 million people out of a region like Gaza without mass death. This is not some secret information that Israel doesn’t know. The state of Israel has demonstrated at every possible opportunity that at best it does not care and at worst that’s the goal.

    It looks like Zionists were taking notes during the Holocaust

    “What we do not understand is that while there were protests against Germany’s defensive action in this field, there was, on the other hand, no willingness to absorb the excess Jewish population emigrating from Germany.”

    The US is really fucked up on this. I mean Israel is a tactical ally, but how do you turn a blind eye to genocide?

      The US hasn’t turned a blind eye to it. The US has been exerting pressure for lessened combat operations since the getgo.

      Foreign policy is not about morality, it is about power.

      There are 3 main powers in that region. Saudi Arabia, Iran and Israel. Right now the US has a lot of influence over both (power). If the US were to just drop Israel, then all of a sudden the US has no more power in the region.

      The Israelis do not need us for weapons. Not only do they have their own military industrial complex, there are other 1st world powers who would happily sell arms to Israel for a chance to become the new most powerful influence in the region due to having Iran and Israel under their thumbs.

      I swear, Americans are fucking stupid when it comes to how anything works and they have zero desire to learn. It’s no wonder that the US ends up with people like trump.

    Saying the quiet part out loud again. Forced relocation through either terror or expatriation is Ethnic Cleansing. Ethnic Cleansing may fall under the Genocide Convention.

    WTF?

      We are there.

      I will vote for Joe Biden if he publicly condemns Israel. From his lips. In an address to the nation.

      I will not if he doesn’t.

      Simple as that.

        It’s a two party system. You vote Biden or get Trump. Trump has less problem with ethnic cleansing. If fact Trump is the kind that might try it in the US.
