lot of liberals really failing to understand that the crimes Israel visits on Gaza will go down in history as one of the worst things people ever did to each other. it will be in textbooks alongside the Congo Free State, the Third Reich, Rape of Nanjing, and others.

You can tell by this tweet alone that he gets his understanding of history and world news from social media.
not equivalent
i generally don't decry the crimes of America's enemies, given that it's pointless virtue signalling in service of empire. Russia quite obviously committed horrific, inexcusable crimes in Ukraine. but we fund Israel's slaughter of Gaza.
No, you don't generally decry the crimes of America's enemies because you're on their side. Let's stop mincing words about that.
you can believe whatever you want. i don't see the point, as an American, in giving equal voice to criticizing a country i have zero influence over where that public criticism is primarily used to justify arms expenditures. not my problem if you don't understand that.
It's because you claimed Gaza will go down as one of history's worst atrocities, yet you completely overlook what's happening in Ukraine, where even more people have died. Then, when confronted with such a tragedy, you write it off because America wasn't the perpetrator. Insane

2/3 of their examples come from WW2 but they neglect to mention much more comparable examples like Dresden, Hiroshima, or Nagasaki because they're (rightfully) viewed as some of the most righteous acts of warfare in all of human history from a cost/benefit perspective

They will never mention the deportation of Koreans into the Soviet Union which was basically a death march. Nor the destruction of Manila, the ethnic cleansing of Crimeans not to mention all the terrible stuff that happened before the 19th century.
But seriously, the closest WW2 comparison to Gaza would be Dresden or the Strategic Bombing of Japan (many died of hunger in Japan after bombing campaigns) but they keep comparing them to the nazis gassing people en masse inside their industrial death complexes.

Why just Dresden? Nearly every major German city was bombed to heck during WW2 (some more than Dresden), including Hamburg, Frankfurt, and Nuremberg.

I was just giving an example. The whole strategic bombing campaign during WW2 was worse than present day Gaza

It is a very similar situation to bombing nazi Germany, few people -want- civilian casualties but most "pro Israel"people recognise that the situation only ends with Hamas dismantled at whatever cost, it's them hiding in the civilian populations who, for the most part, don't provide any resistance to doing so

I'm saying they're drawing a false equivalence by comparing the war in gaza to Nazi Germany or the R*pe of Nanjing, because if they compared it to actually similar historical events people would go "But wait, those were good things"

This motherlover doesn't realize that the reason Congo Free State is horrible is not necessarily for deaths but for the fact that Leopold II basically owned the entire country as his own and made it a slave colony for himself.
Of course, these Palestinian lovers will also have a Congo flag in their bio because of blood diamond mining and shit but also not know the history about the Congo from the sixties to now where it was known as Zaire, ruled by Mobutu and became a large shithole thanks to him spending all its money on flights to Paris. He made the mistake of hosting the perpetrators of the Rwandan genocide and now Rwanda (which I contend is the African Israel and this is why we should support them) has eternally made the Congo its b-word in the wars and even today for thirty years. The civil wars around the Congo are the deadliest wars since WW2 but nobody talks about them unless you count academics. I have to do an effortpost on the Congo and Rwanda one day honestly

Also, the death toll of the Congo Free State is still subject to debate as is very hard to estimate the 1880 population.

These people seem to believe that Belgians personally cut off the hands of millions of Congolese.

What made the Holocaust stand out was the fact the nazis were directly killing people en masse on a systematic way. In the past genocides were more like sporadic killings and the biggest war killer were diseases and hunger. In the case of the Congo, displacing hundreds of thousands to work towards extracting rubber instead of subsistence farming was the main resposible for the death toll, not euro mercenaries directly shooting and mutilating natives for fun (it happened as you'll find sadistic psychopaths thriving in places like that but not on the scale redditors seem to believe).

Leftoids who believe Leopold II killed 10 million people are the equivalent of rightoids who believe Stalin killed 50 million people.

This is outrageous. My criticism of Israel has very little to do with my rabid anti-semitism.

They definitely will be sorry about it in a few decades if they clean Gaza and the West Bank of Arabs. This is bog standard westoid shit. Won't actually have to give any land back, just pretend you're sorry.
