    Calling Israel the same as hitler may be funny on an ā€œIā€™m 15 and this is edgyā€ level, but itā€™s ignorant as fuck to claim that. Yes, the Israeli has committed and continues to commit atrocious acts, but itā€™s leagues away from what the Nazis did. Itā€™s not even in the same ballpark.

    Same goes for Hamas. Itā€™s a horrible terror organization, it holds zero candles to hitler and his buddies

      hitler may be funny on

      No, Clyde - I donā€™t find genocide a laughing matter whether itā€™s nazis or zionists doing it.

      Itā€™s not even in the same ballpark.

      Really? You donā€™t think thereā€™s any correlation between the nazisā€™ genocidal concept of ā€œlebensraumā€ and that which Israel is doing in Palestine?

      it holds zero candles to hitler and his buddies

      Funny you should mention thatā€¦ it doesnā€™t hold a candle to Israel when it comes to terrorism, either.

        I donā€™t think that, when comparing two large systems, itā€™s okay to take two specific items that I ā€œlikeā€ and compare only those two.

        Israel and Nazi Germany are not comparable. Comparing them and then worse, finding them quite equal is just 15 years old levels of dumb and ignorance

          Israel and Nazi Germany are not comparable.

          Tell me you donā€™t understand how right-wing ideology works without telling me you donā€™t understand how right-wing ideology works.

          Noting the differences between Israel and Nazi Germany displays just how similar they actually are - unlike Nazi Germany, Israel is utterly dependent on the west (and in particular the US) for literally itā€™s day-to-day existence and therefore cannot pursue the policies it wants to pursue with zero constraints as Nazi Germany finally did when it launched itā€™s genocidal colonialism project in 1941.

          The incremental genocide Israel has been perpetrating since 1949 is purely a matter of geopolitical pragmatism - but the ideological drivers of said genocdie is no different to those that drove Nazi Germany.

            Yeah, no.

            You lost perspective. Badly. Israel is bad. Really bad. Everybody will agree with that.

            However, comparing Israel with the industrialized mass murder of Nazi Germany is just bullshit. It shows that you donā€™t understand Israel , Nazi Germany or (most likely) both.

            Nazi Germany damn near exterminated Jews, gays, Romani, etc. Israel canā€™t hold a candle to the horrors of nazi Germany.

              So, againā€¦ tell me you donā€™t understand how right-wing ideology works without telling me you donā€™t understand how right-wing ideology works.

              And againā€¦ noting the differences between Israel and Nazi Germany displays just how similar they actually are - unlike Nazi Germany, Israel is utterly dependent on the west (and in particular the US) for literally itā€™s day-to-day existence and therefore cannot pursue the policies it wants to pursue with zero constraints as Nazi Germany finally did when it launched itā€™s genocidal colonialism project in 1941.

              You have already demonstrated a disturbing lack of understanding when it comes to the ideology that underpins white supremacist genocidal regimes - perhaps itā€™s best not to underscore it with comments like these?
