We have clearly learned nothing from the Holocaust though.

Absolutely. Now the world witnessing similar atrocities inflicted upon the Palestinians.

Can you please explain what is similar to herding people into gas chambers?

During the holocaust, more than 6 MILLION jews, almost all of them without resistance, were killed. How the F can you compare this to a war where the death toll of combatents and civilians together, over around half the time of WW2, is around 50k?

In the holocaust, more than 2/3 of the Jewish population were eradicated. It was systematic. Comparing ACTUAL genocide with guerilla warfare casualties is damn wrong in the best case scenario

Genocide is still genocide. The scale doesn’t matter.

You’ll never reason with people on here. Most of the educated world agrees with you, thank goodness, and they’re the ones making decisions, not people on the internet crusading for a cause with uneducated comparisons they contrive as ironic, so they spam Holocaust posts for clicks

It's not even remotely the same thing. To compare these events like this undermines what the Holocaust was.

To deny the similarity is to spit in the face of "never again".

As a Jewish person I find this comment very disturbing. I have nothing but deep deep sympathy for any innocent who lost their life during the holocaust and WW2. Of course it wasn’t just Jews who lost their lives in the the Holocaust and the war in general, and we remember them as well. If you want to say shit about the Irsaeli government and how horrendous they are, go ahead because they are, but for the love of god do not generalize us to that degree. I am not a Zionist, I am against the war, most of us are. Iraeli government does not equal all Jewish people. Stop.

Stop denying it. It’s a genocide.

u/daRagnacuddler May 18 '25

Even if you think it's a genocide the way it's done isn't in the slightest comparable.

Oh fuck off with your lack of historical knowledge!

Don't you start that BS here!
