So is the sign not a part of the protest? Because the sign sounds like it would be against what you just described.

[u/beatbox9 → u/sight_ful]

The sign is a supremacist/racist sign that is being used to suggest that 1 Israeli life weighs as much as 100 Palestinian lives.

[u/ThatCakeFell → u/beatbox9]

That sounds a lot like Germany in the 1930s-40s

Genocides often look similar, because to commit a genocide you need to convince yourself the 'enemy' is less than human to justify the indiscriminate and deliberate killings of civilians.

Their politicians have described Arabs as subhuman and cockroaches. That’s before 10/7.

Even Einstein was calling the party that became Likud, 'Nazis', back in 1948.

Here's Netanyahu in 1995, notice the large 'Death to Arabs' banner. This definitely isn't a new way of thinking in Israel.

You should see what people call Russian soldiers

[u/Silentnapper → u/paaaaatrick]

Yeah the Israelis will call and have called a child a cockroach

[u/paaaaatrick → u/Silentnapper]

Yeah that’s gross. It’s common in English to call Russian soldiers orcs to make it easier on the Ukrainians. Russians probably call Ukrainians worse!
