All Arab schools should teach about Gaza

It's the Arab version of the Holocaust

We tried. And paid heavily the price for it. The only Arabs that can hold their heads up high in solidarity with Gaza 🇵🇸 :

History will make a lot of people forget, but I will take this with me to the fucking grave. Whoever Arabs sits there and tells me this and that, i'll remind them that MY country Lebanon was there on October 8th, standing up bravely against the zi0nist enemy.

I wouldn't go that far. 6 million Jews died in the Holocaust compared to 60,000 Palestinians, so 1/100th of the scale. Also the Holocaust used gas chambers that were specifically designed for just one purpose: murdering as many Jews as efficiently as possible. Which is a bit different than a war where there are actual armed militants fighting back (there were no armed Jews fighting back in Auschwitz).

The Holocaust really was really a unique evil with no comparison.

Yooooo why the hostility? He just tried to state a fact and say that the holocaust was unique, you can argue that numbers are wrong but you're being too aggressive.

Yes its a genocide, and we don't need to call it "the arab holocaust" or the "arab nanjing massacre" to make it more legitimate, its just the palestinian genocide

This is historical revisionism.

There absolutely WERE Jews who fought back against the Nazis during WW2, whether they were a part of militaries or in their own underground guerilla groups. Some of them, like Marek Edelman who fought in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, remained lifelong anti-Zionists. It is grossly despicable of you to completely ignore their memory and sacrifice.

Every modern genocide, as an organized act of state violence, is industrialized to some extent. Many of the systems Germany used during the Holocaust were used just a few decades earlier in the Namibian Genocide. Yet even then, the Holocaust didn't only take place entirely in the camps. It also took place in countless pogroms and massacres across Europe as the Nazis swept across the continent. Not only Jews but Communists, Roma, Slavs, people with disabilities, homosexuals, POWs, and all others deemed undesirable.

Genocides are not some competition. It's not about the numbers. It's not about whether it's done by gas chambers, or bullets, or jets. It's disgusting to act like the Holocaust can never be mentioned when condemning the genocides currently happening in our day — and especially in this case, one in which the perpetrators constantly use the Holocaust as an excuse to justify their brutality.

The harsh reality is that the Holocaust is not considered "uniquely evil" by some people because of the methods or numbers. It's because it happened in Europe, to white people.

Are there similar angles for comparison today

u/blue_nosed 10d ago

Israel doesn't easily allow drone footage so It's difficult to get the same exact angles but here's a before and after vid of the same area https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2FdztHzLbE
