    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.

            Technically correct is the best kind of correct

      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.

      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.
