    By equating these two countries and their horrible crimes you are severely downplaying what happened in the Holocaust.

      You are severely downplaying what happens in Gaza and to Palestinians.

      “No you can’t compare two ethnic supremacists, expansionist, genocidal regimes! One committed their genocide against Europeans and the other in the middle East!”

      I don’t think the Palestinians of Gaza give two shits about what Europeans did to Jews 80 years ago. All that a father burying bits and pieces of his young children who have been obliterated by an Israeli missile is concerned about, is that Israelis murdered his family and are exterminating his people.

      How does equating two European ethno-supremacist entities and their horrible crimes downplay what happened in the Holocaust?

      Arguably the latter lunatic European ethno-supremacist cancer entity plaguing West Asia is worse, but there are way too many similarities between the two to dismiss the idea of equating the two.

      I see your point but you’re misinterpreting the meme. It’s saying the act of decorating the Brandenburg gate this way is the same, not the two countries.

      Both are nationalism

      Both are supporting apartheid and discrimination

      Im both cases, Germany is complicit in genocide

        With that logic decorating the Brandenburg gate in pride flags is also kind of the same. So what’s your point?

        Also funny how you say that the countries are not the same, and then just try to explain why they are similar. At least try to get your argument straight.

          Please explain how decorating the Brandenburg gate in pride flags supports genocide.

          Be specific.

          I guess nobody is committing genocide with Pride flags on their arms, that’s the difference.

      Not really. Israel just started their Holocaust, give them time, they’re still solidifying the axis with American. They aren’t the same, one led to the other in an intensely ironic way.

        Supporting Palestinian liberation is not anti-semitism. Zionism is anti-semitic, it depends on genocide of Palestinian Jews and is anti-Yiddish.

            There is an ongoing genocide of Palestinians.
