A Palestinian man was found dead in a park in the Belgian city of Antwerp with his hands and feet tied, leaving the cause of his death a mystery amid authorities’ suggestion that it may have been a suicide.

“Suicide.”

    Soviets and Nazis both committed genocide.

    Wait untill you hear about what happened to the indigenous Americans.

    Or, indigenous Australians.

    Or, pretty much everywhere the British “discovered”.

      What does that have to do with my point?

        I entirely misread your argument the first time.

        I actually agree with you.

        I was initially dismissive because of the old “are X as evil as Nazi’s?” As that’s usually a disingenuous argument. Selecting the Soviet Union as another “evil” is almost always American anti-communist nonsense too.

        I shall go and correct my other comment.

          No worries, it happens. I went to Nazis because no one worth taking seriously disputes that Nazis are both genocidal and some of the worst scum of the earth to ever disgrace this planet, so it avoids an argument over whether Side A is REALLY that bad. The number of cretins as vile as the Nazis is very small - and so frees Side B to be a legitimately evil, yet indisputably less evil, contrast.
