        Because the scale is not comparable. Here, we are fighting in a single city, not across whole Europe, we are not building concentration camps where we are tying together siblings and changing people’s eye colour. Also, the scale is not comparable and the escalation was started by Hamas.

            Of course, by this logic we can start comparing a murder of 2 people to holocaust because both are murdering people.

            I have not said that. If I murder 2 people, my actions won’t be justified but the comparison to holocaust is completely absurd.

              What’s absurd is holding the holocaust to such a standard that we cannot compare it to anything or learn anything from history.

              It’s disrespectful to holocaust survivors, this shit I see posted here, especially to the ones saying never again now.

              Don’t use the holocaust to make this genocide okay. That’s antisemitic.

          Ah yes, I guess this means a “small holocaust” is perfectly fine…

          I thought the survivors said NEVER AGAIN. The scale is irrelevant. Israel created one of the biggest manmade famine in histroy at an unprecedented speed. Why destroy all roads and hospitals and stop aid? I’ll let you answer that one.

            If the scale is irrelevant, then it’s completely irrelevant that Israel killed roughly 30k people because that’s just the scale.

            Famine is, unfortunately, not so rare during wars, hence why especially poor regions that have troubles even without a war should not be aggressive.

              I think that’s BS. Famine at this scale and speed is not common.

          Out of curiosity, what is the actual limit for an acceptable quantity of genocide? Like, I’m trying to understand if there’s a hard number of murdered civilians that Isreal has to reach before we can make comparisons to the holocaust, or if it’s more just a vibes thing?

          Israel is killing in Gaza at the speed of a large concentration camp at the peak of the Holocaust.

              If you have enough square miles you deprive of food it’s not Genocide?

              The definition of Genocide becomes the most arbitrary set of rules ever according to pro-israelis.

                It’s just you compared that the speed of killing in Gaza to a concentration camp. The size and population of a concentration camp is far smaller.

                  So? Literally one of the worst genocides of this century in terms of speed and impact.
