No, my tune wouldn't change.

The Germans had a famous saying post-ww2. "We didn't now about it". Can't say the same about Israelis.

And what was happening to the indigenous people in Canada? What policies? I'm curious to know what claims you're making because so far you've been very general.

I hope you'll forgive my tone because trying to compare history in a certain framing and anachronistically to today is what Israelis use to justify their continued colonization and genocide.

    The German saying is famous but not because they genuinely didnt know anything was going on. They were aware of persecution and rounding up of Jews and other minorities and some were aware of thr death camps.

    Most Isrealis are aware thats happening even if they dont know every detail I think we both agree that they should pickup that something is seriously wrong with their state. I think Germans at the time were the same and cannot hide behind an excuse of "we didnt know". I also think Canadians at the time were aware of the expansion and encroachment of natives and supported the polices. Also assimilation policies.

    To preface this, I am not knowledgeable on Canadian history. I have done a few hours of generalised reading. What kind of dates do you want? I think narrowing we can narrow it down and focus on 1870 to 1950. I want to preface this by saying that I don't think Canadians are 1000x mega Nazi's nor do I think Isrealis are 100x mega Nazis. But I want your explanation on why these two things ate different because if im to accept your framing of isreal 100x Nazi I can only logically extend that to Canada 100x Nazi

    Most Isrealis are aware thats happening

    Most Israeli civilians are active participants and even their news outlets openly report about it. Their polling shows full support for it.

    It's not that israelis are remotely aware, it's that are fully aware and they want it to happen.

    So while you can say that the Germans knew - which, again, is massively debated to what extent the average German knew. Like you said, they knew about people being rounded up and assumed it was for immigration/relocation not mass murder in gas Chambers and it was wilful ignorance at best - there is absolutely no debate that Israelis fully know, encourage it, support it, their politicians and soldiers share videos on social media of torture camps, they have processions calling for death, etc.

    Worth seeing the NAZA documentary (not the fake one that Israel put out to mislead people).
