The vast majority of Israelis are of Middle Eastern or Eastern European descent, in that order. Most of these guys had nothing to do with the Holocaust or anything that led up to it.

Yeah, most of the victims of the Holocaust didn't make it out of the Holocaust.

I mean yes, and most of the people that did ended up going to America rather than Israel. My point is that the popular myth that Israeli Jews are somehow deeply tied to the Holocaust and other horrors of fascism and that's why they fled to Palestine is just that, a myth. Israel tries to play up that supposed connection to get Western sympathy, but again nothing of the sort exists. The parent comment is building on this myth by implying that the people of Israel are doing to others what has been done to them when in reality that's not true.

Which holocaust are you referring to?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

I mean, how many capital H Holocausts are there? The Madagascar Plan was IIRC a Nazi Germany plan to dump all Germany's Jews in Madagascar.

I did, and? I guess there was a typo but I don't see your point.
