    Encouraging Jews to leave “voluntarily” was Hitler’s first step, too. Then when most people don’t want to leave their homes, you justify your escalation by saying you gave them a chance.

      It’s annoying making the comparison derails the conversation so much. Yeah, sure, one of the ethnicities involved happens to be repeating and that sucks, but that’s the one genocide people know stuff about.

          What!? Where did I say that??

          I was complaining that you can’t compare the Holocaust to the current situation in Israel-Palestine at all, even when they do the exact same stuff, or a lot of people freak out.

    Saying the quiet part out loud again. Forced relocation through either terror or expatriation is Ethnic Cleansing. Ethnic Cleansing may fall under the Genocide Convention.

    WTF?

      The primary genocide requirement is intent. Instead of throwing “maybes” around, you should spend a minute or two to read the convention in full instead of polluting the discourse.

      Especially now that the intent is clearly stated by a government official.

      We are there.

      I will vote for Joe Biden if he publicly condemns Israel. From his lips. In an address to the nation.

      I will not if he doesn’t.

      Simple as that.

          Then the democratic party should make the most basic effort to condemn genocide. I wont vote for the support of genocide. It’s really not a high bar. It’s frankly pathetic that you are suggesting we have accept that. That makes you explicitly in support of the ethnic cleansing of gaza and the people of Palestine. You are evil.

          Stop doing that you insufferable pea-brained dolt.

          Not voting for Biden doesn’t mean I’m voting for Trump.

          Idiots like you sit there like your vote is a party popper you MUST use to show if your streamers and confetti are blue or red.

          I am disgusted with the options I am presented with. I get no streamers or confetti…

          Unless Biden condemns the Israeli genocide of Palestine and champions imposing massive embargoes on Israel while fully ceasing any funding in full.

          Then I might believe he (and the DNC) are humbling WAY the fuck up, listening to their constituents, and correcting course is the SMALLEST of ways.

        It’s a two party system. You vote Biden or get Trump. Trump has less problem with ethnic cleansing. If fact Trump is the kind that might try it in the US.

          He already has plans for it, and using the military to do it. He has made it clear he plans to go full fascist right from day one if he were to win again. It’s his only way to not spend the rest of his life in prison (and he loves the idea of being a dictator).

            I think if he tries that, the US breaks down as there is no way everyone will go with it.

            Trump winning is a win for the enemies of the US and a win for the enemies of the wider free world.

            Edit: Add a few words for clarity.

                Honestly, I’m willing to let it happen just for the smug invertebrate liberal bootlickers to finally experience what liberals have been doing to every hood I lived in for the last 30 years. Fuck 'em, settler-descent crackers are not my countrymen, especially not if they think they’re going to cudgel me into supporting a genocidal segregationist that already ripped my family apart more than once from '94 onwards.

                  Then let me be more explicit, too: Amerika tore my family apart across four hundred years of its history, continues to tear my family apart, refuses to cede my people actual liberation and freedom, and still demands our support like they’re not STILL interring us in prison chattel slavery or extrajudicially executing us in the streets.

                  What the blue donkeyfuck makes you think I’m an ally of this shithole? What the blue donkeyfuck makes you think I’m going to exert ANY effort in perpetuating this monstrous, genocidal hell? Biden and Trump will do the same shit; so to me? The only way either of them can hang is with a rope.

            You think Trump is less pro-genocide? Until you can change the system, you end up choosing who you think is less genocidy.

          Of course it is. There are still Armenians, German Jewish people, Rwandan Tutsis, Rohingya, and no one disputes that they were genocided.

            We’re all being ironic, I think. In reality, if your goal is to make an ethnic group smaller so you don’t have to deal with them as much, that’s genocide, or at least ethnic cleansing. No specific number is required.

            Also, FYI, Jews across continental Europe had a bad time. Anywhere the Nazis went genocide followed, so you don’t really need to specify German.

        It is not possible to move 1.8 million people out of a region like Gaza without mass death. This is not some secret information that Israel doesn’t know. The state of Israel has demonstrated at every possible opportunity that at best it does not care and at worst that’s the goal.

      The US hasn’t turned a blind eye to it. The US has been exerting pressure for lessened combat operations since the getgo.

      Foreign policy is not about morality, it is about power.

      There are 3 main powers in that region. Saudi Arabia, Iran and Israel. Right now the US has a lot of influence over both (power). If the US were to just drop Israel, then all of a sudden the US has no more power in the region.

      The Israelis do not need us for weapons. Not only do they have their own military industrial complex, there are other 1st world powers who would happily sell arms to Israel for a chance to become the new most powerful influence in the region due to having Iran and Israel under their thumbs.

      I swear, Americans are fucking stupid when it comes to how anything works and they have zero desire to learn. It’s no wonder that the US ends up with people like trump.

    It looks like Zionists were taking notes during the Holocaust

    “What we do not understand is that while there were protests against Germany’s defensive action in this field, there was, on the other hand, no willingness to absorb the excess Jewish population emigrating from Germany.”
