    Wow. Is genocide fine if it doesn’t include literal gas chambers? I got the bright idea to compare these genocidal maniacs to Nazis and my first instinct after that forbidden thought was to think that it might be too much to compare them to Nazi Germany. But you know what? It fucking isn’t!

    They still murder people directly. Those hospitals, Al Jazeera buildings, aid trucks or whatever else less newsworthy for the few who dare to be “antisemitic” and report on it didn’t bomb themselves.

    If I had to choose, I’d rather get gassed than starved to death. Whine not exactly painless, it’s not even nearly as painful.

    Not saying it is the same. Just that you can’t qualified immunity your way through genocide.


    • - Wait, but the BIG BAD GENOCIDE had GAS CHAMBERS! We don’t do that here!* - Oh, then all is forgiven 😇

    • - The BIG BAD also had CONCENTRATION CAMPS. Where are ours?*

    • - isn’t the entire Strip basically a huge one? 🤔*

    • - The BIG BAD also had FORCED LABOR and SS GUARDS*

    • - Not for the kids. They got gassed on arrival in the later stages. Or those “incapable of work”. Isn’t everyone in Gaza incapable of work by now, what with everyone starving to death 🧐*

    Again, not trying to downplay the Holocaust. However, there is one crucial differemce which makes the current genocide infinitely more actionable: it’s happening now. The Holocaust ended about 80 years ago. The current one still fucking didn’t.

    And again, there’s no qualified immunity for genocide.
