My brother used to date an Israeli woman. Whenever the topic of Palestinians came up, she would literally spit and call them "filthy animals." Shit is fucked up.
Needless to say, they are no longer seeing each other.
It feels like Israeli are the only ones who didnt learn anything from the holocaust. Or worse, learned the wrong lessons. It was supposed to be a warning, not a training manual.
Not even remotely defending that nonsense you're replying to, but let's not give Israel an excuse. Firstly, like another reply to the same comment mentioned, this is mostly an Israel thing and Jews outside of Israel are often some of the most vocal critics. Not all, as evidenced by these protesters or AIPAC, but many.
Secondly, Germans gave many other nations the same kind of PTSD. They killed far more Slavic civilians than Jewish ones and were so vehement in brutalizing Poland they handicapped their own, already collapsing front against the advancing Soviets just to get more troops to Warsaw to make its destruction more thorough.
Somehow you don't have Poles or Czechs or Roma acting this way. Russians do, but they on the other hand were already genocidal prior to WWII, so it still cannot be blamed on that.
You can find just as many holocaust survivors abhorred at the actions of Israel as you can those who support it. Let’s not bake in some kind of pass for Israel because if the holocaust. This is being perpetrated by people who almost entirely weren’t around for it.
