I'm just reading this on Wikipedia:

In 1939, German authorities began to concentrate Poland's population of over three million Jews into a number of extremely crowded ghettos located in large Polish cities. The largest of these, the Warsaw Ghetto, collected approximately 300,000–400,000 people into a densely packed, 3.3 km2 area of Warsaw. Thousands of Jews were killed by rampant disease and starvation under SS-und-Polizeiführer Odilo Globocnik and SS-Standartenführer Ludwig Hahn, even before the mass deportations from the ghetto to the Treblinka extermination camp began.

They crowded those people in a small area with a high population density and they started to die of disease and starvation. Gosh gee, why does that sound so familiar? 🫠

19000+ as of 4 days ago, and this is the minimum number since it only includes people Gazan hospitals physically counted.

In the minds of those who see Palestinians as "untermenschen" - subhumans - their lives don't count the same as human lives. (An Israeli government official quite literally and openly in a press conference deemed Palestinians to be "human animals").

This shit we're seeing is the violent expression of the most cold, cruel and extreme racism, all endorsed and even militarilly and diplomatically supported by the US (which is the ultimate hypocrisy from such loudly self-proclaimed defenders of "freedom").

Zionists are the new Nazis.

Treat Zionism like you would treat Nazism.

Treat Zionists like you would treat Nazis.

Israel has killed more civilians in 2 months than Russia has killed in 2 years, just to put things into perspective.

the Isreali right

The Israeli right: flatten the whole place, I want to salt the earth so they have nowhere to return to and they're destroyed forever.

Israeli moderates: the IDF can have a little white phosphorous, as a treat

By all indications Germans (at least their political elites and a large part of the population) seem to have learned "never again" as being "never again do this to Jews" rather than "never again do this to other human beings", hence they keep on giving unwavering support to Israel.

The racism never ended, all that happenned is that an etnicity who were "one of them" became "one of us", hence the continued support of Israel and their actions: it's "those like us" doing it to "them", hence different moral limits if any apply than if it was "anybody vs those like us" (as it was in the Russian invasion of Ukraine were even a fraction done to Ukranians of what is being done to Palestinians led this very same German leadership to impose sanctions and break its long standing rules and start providing military help to the victims).

If there is one (somewhat surprising) thing this situation in Gaza brough to light, is how Germany doesn't seem to have learned the absolute nature of the Evil of hyper-racist ultranationalist Fascism, instead it's all seen as relative, the Evil being not in the nature of the actions but in the specific etnicity of the Fascists and their victims.

Yeah but. I mean. So were the Germans during WW2 under the Nazi regime. Is that really a good excuse?

Is that what we should do for the Nazis? Have sympathy for them and the Nazi propaganda at the time? Mass killing is not ok period. Sympathy be damned.

True, but they are the same people that keep voting in the far right. It's the same in many countries at the moment.nthe far right is not supported by all, but by enough to gain power.

If someone uses your name to justify cruelty, no matter how insignificant the person may be, it’s always worth speaking up.

It's going to take an eternity for God and his son to get caught up on this.
