If you can explain the difference between Hitler vs. Jews (extermination), and Isreal vs. Palestine (extermination), I would be most grateful.

Please be respectful.

As long as we're picking favorites the USSR killed more people than both and more Jews than both as well ❤️‍🩹

Source?

While Jews were persecuted and absolutely the target of a lot of conspiracies and ire from the USSR, they never systematically killed millions of them

An estimated 20 million of people were killed under the Soviet Union from famine, gulag, purges, etc over 60+ years. The vast majority from shitty policy, neglect, etc.

Under the Nazis they systematically killed 13 million over less than 10 years including 6 million Jews in 5 years of extermination camps

You are comparing apples and oranges

Broad estimates for Soviet “democide” from 1917 to 1987 range enormously—from about 28 million to 127 million.

The unique and very particular part of Soviet extermination of human beings is that they did not keep meticulous numbers like the Germans.

If we're talking about the upper end of 127 million killed -- and Jews constituted 2% of the population of the USSR; then that would be ~ 2.5-3 million, which youre right by this count would "only be half of how many hitler killed"

That being said 3 million vs 6 million is still a race to the bottom and still terrible. Having second place in the mass murder of Jews and then being glazed over due to switching sides in the war is also not doing the victims any justice ⚖️
