Demented take
It’s absolutely valid to criticize and damn Israeli actions.
But to equate them to the Holocaust where over 6 million humans got murdered on an industrial scale is worse than a bad take.
OK…so, at what figure does it become acceptable?
This requires viewing Palestinians and Arabs as lesser beings and not worthy of being considered as equal to Jews and other groups that the western imperialists want to hold up on a pedestal. Israel has directly and indirectly caused mass suffering and mass death to the Arabs of West Asia over its entire existence, it is hitlerian, fascist and genocidal.
Israel simply doesn’t have access to as many Palestinian lives as Nazi Germany did Jewish lives.
