Holy shit now I know why I have politics blocked on my main account. You guys need a walk. No, no a hike. No actually pilgrimage to Jerusalem on foot on the trail of crusaders
The shittest shitfiesta I have ever seen on Lemmy and I wouldn’t be surprised if hundreds of rdrama degenerates were typing energetically with their fat greasy fingers under the link to this post as we speak
I would upvote without the last sentence. The Holocaust was a singular event as there have been many singular events, and none repeated itself, neither as tragedy nor as farce, but some of them rhyme
Lol and that's why it's bullshit, because nothing is "super simple", you bunch of terminally online twats. You wouldn't know nuance if it reached out of your Instagram post and slapped you in the face. Go ahead, tell me to eat glass like last time.
Saying Jews are awesome is not a valid statement, because just like every group some of them are awesome, some are neutral, and some are awful. It should say something like "Jews are regular people"
So many people seem legitimately confused by what zionism is. At its core it is simply the legitimacy of the Israeli state. Only the most radical versions contain the violent expansionist ideals. But there's a reason the only people ranting about it in such an unqualified way this time last year were white supremacists. Because without qualification, the implication is dismantlement of the Israeli state, which would do absolutely nothing to stop the cycle of violence. It is difficult to imagine that this is a good faith argument from anyone who is seriously engaged with fundamental geopolitics.
Unfortunately I fear that this is a perfect example of linguistic subterfuge, where serious bad actors have injected this language into otherwise well meaning causes, and I would implore those who seriously seek justice for Palestine to avoid this particular vocabulary.
"Innocent should not die no matter if they were born in Tel Aviv or in Gaza"
"7 of October of 2023 was a terrorist attack"
"Situation in a conflict zone where both sides has been killing each other for decades is not simple and has no simple solution"
"Blindly supporting muyahidins, I mean, intifada, has not a good historic record"
"A Hamas led Palestine would be very similar to any other Islamic dictatorship, which is not good for Palestinians, specially women and LGBT"
Under any circumstances innocents should die, and anyone (ANYONE) killing civilians is a piece of shit. But the fact that Israel government is a Piece of Shit does not mean that Hamas is not also a Piece of Shit. Some people seems to forget that when it comes to codemn the cruelties inflicted in that region.
Doesn't holocaust literally mean "death by all means necessary" I don't think i would consider this "death by all means necessary"
although i think etymologically holocaust just has to do with "burning by fire" but i recall the germans using a more extreme definition of the holocaust more broadly.
also how is zionism is a death cult? Cringe sure, but death cult? Yeah idk about that one chief.
Yeah, I would absolutely expect someone with a sign of this style to call every single instance of genocide "The Holocaust". That's precisely the level of historical literacy I'm used to seeing from middle-class weirdos who buy these things.
