[–] mintyfrog@lemmy.ml 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) I did not compare these two events. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml -2 points 2 years ago (1 child) This part of the post the Holocaust of 6 million Jews and the recent terror attack that killed and took hostages of hundreds of Israeli civilians. Makes it sound like you think they're of similar themes. Theyre not. One was a wholesale slaughter of an oppressed minority, the other was anticolonial violence directed at settlers. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] mintyfrog@lemmy.ml -1 points 2 years ago (1 child) Both involve the killing of innocent civilians based on their racioethnic group. Different scale, motivation, morals, etc? Yes. Still, they give both context to saying "death to Israel" because they prove that the statement is being used in a violent way. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml -2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 child) Both involve the killing of innocent civilians based on their racioethnic group This is reductionist. You need to wipe away of the context of a white Jewish supremacist apartheid state vs the context of being scapegoats for the nazis for your position to make sense. Also settlers aren't civilians, settlement is part of an extended military campaign of genocide. Yes. Still, they give both context to saying “death to Israel” because they prove that the statement is being used in a violent way. Violence is justified against settlers, violence isn't justified against an oppressed ethnic minority. They are distinct things. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] mintyfrog@lemmy.ml -1 points 2 years ago (1 child) settlers aren't civilians Dehumanization, how original. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml -2 points 2 years ago* Settlers are humans the same way soldiers are humans and the same way civilians are humans.
