[+] -40 points 1 year ago (6 children)

By equating these two countries and their horrible crimes you are severely downplaying what happened in the Holocaust.

    I don’t think the Palestinians of Gaza give two shits about what Europeans did to Jews 80 years ago. All that a father burying bits and pieces of his young children who have been obliterated by an Israeli missile is concerned about, is that Israelis murdered his family and are exterminating his people.

    You are severely downplaying what happens in Gaza and to Palestinians.

    "No you can't compare two ethnic supremacists, expansionist, genocidal regimes! One committed their genocide against Europeans and the other in the middle East!"

    How does equating two European ethno-supremacist entities and their horrible crimes downplay what happened in the Holocaust?

    Arguably the latter lunatic European ethno-supremacist cancer entity plaguing West Asia is worse, but there are way too many similarities between the two to dismiss the idea of equating the two.

    I see your point but you're misinterpreting the meme. It's saying the act of decorating the Brandenburg gate this way is the same, not the two countries.

    Both are nationalism

    Both are supporting apartheid and discrimination

    Im both cases, Germany is complicit in genocide
