[–] pineapple@lemmy.ml 4 points 8 months ago (4 children) Killing 6 million jewish people? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 36 points 8 months ago* Killed an entire continent of peoples and enslaved millions of people from another one to make agricultural commodities. Also during ww2 the US refused a ship of jews fleeing nazi germany and made them return. They also won't make anti-semitism illegal cause freeze peach, so US cops often protect white supremacist groups during protests from righteously outraged ppl. US cops also often recruit directly from those groups, and use them to carry out illegal things actions they don't want to be responsible for. There isn't enough space here to even get into the US's anti-semitic past. permalink fedilink source parent [–] BanMeFromPosting@hexbear.net 29 points 8 months ago* Why do you only mention the Jewish people and not the Roma, the homosexual, the transgender, the socialist, the communist or the many other groups targeted? Far more than 6 million were targets of genocide by the Nazis. permalink fedilink source parent [–] merdaverse@lemmy.zip 21 points 8 months ago https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_American_genocide_in_the_United_States - 4+ million Native Americans killed in a time when overall populations where much lower. If that number were scaled to the 20th century population it would be an order of magnitude higher. permalink fedilink source parent [–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 19 points 8 months ago At once, in a assembly way or specifically targeting Jewish people? Plus it's not like they were cool with those trying to escape Germany. And chance would have sided with Germany if Britain had fallen. https://www.pbs.org/wnet/exploring-hate/2022/03/14/today-in-history-antisemitism-an-american-problem/ permalink fedilink source parent
