    “Yes, it appears we’re just getting a report in here at the newsroom that seems to indicate that, as it turns out, people - generally speaking - aren’t super into genocides… In the end, to paraphrase the bard, ‘a holocaust by any other name is still pretty fucked to perpetuate.’ Ahead of his time, clearly.”

    One day, when it’s safe, when there’s no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it’s too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this.

      Been saying this about Trump. After Nixon fell, his supporters got real quiet all of the sudden.

    Israel has long used up all its good will and sympathy following WWII and their own holocaust.

    It’s over man. Bibi and Likud are the Hitler and Nazi Party of the 21st century. Congratulations.

        What the above poster meant was that Hitler was horrifying, and Bibi is worse still.

          Hitler killed like 8 million people. Israel’s killed less than 100k. If they killed every single person in Palestine they’d still have less than 1/4th of hitlers number. What you’re saying is nonsense.

            Bibi’s just getting started. He has nukes, for fuck’s sake.

            Not that evil is quantified by number if bodies dropped. Don’t be a child. Shiro ishi was more evil than Mao Zedong.

              I doubt it. The whole world is getting sick of this, Israel is running out of friends fast. Even if the international community allows him to finish the job in Palestine (and I really hope they don’t) they’re not going to let him start annexing and genociding his other neighbors.

              Not that evil is quantified by number if bodies dropped.

              I don’t understand your argument. You’re not comparing him to ishii or mengele, you’re comparing him to Hitler. What has netanyahu done that Hitler didn’t also do on a larger scale? Do you just not like his face? I think you’re either underestimating or intentionally downplaying hitlers myriad atrocities.

                  But Hitler also threw people in ghettos, harassed them with secret police, stole their property, starved them, etc, at a larger scale than netanyahu has. I’m struggling to think of something he’s done that Hitler didn’t also do.

            Both of the numbers are absurdly wrong, i mean incorrect. And the comparison is obviously not based on death toll. Thats a strawman you picked. Your entire comment is just absurd.

                Genius the number is much higher, Hitler killed a WHOLE lot more people. So did israhell and its genocidal war in the region since 1948.

    This fucking headline man, could you possibly try harder to make Israel the victim here? Let’s not suggest they’ve driven people away with their actions in any way…

        It’s like a sick joke, but it’s very real, and it’s both a travesty and a tragedy. It’s only starting to come out publicly just how much of this pro-genocide persuasion campaign is manufactured with bot farms and paid influencers, and it can’t happen fast enough. Gotta stay strong, and stay aware, friend!

      Headlines are not to convey opinion unless they’re editorials. The headline is a non-biased fact and the story explains other people’s opinions.

        And yet this one foes convey opinion. The story is about opinion, and the headline downplays it with the tired old zionist propaganda position of cop voice.
