If you rely on the German standard, you'd never be able to call a genocide a genocide until its fully executed.
Which obviously supports those committing the genocide.
Have you really not seen me multiple times calling the genocide in Gaza a genocide? The ability to recognize the genocide in Gaza as a genocide is very much there, you really can't see it?
Look at the response in context of Feddit. Its not a critique of you, per se, its a critique of the German law/ idealogical approach. Lets suggest, in your words, a full "national socialist" genocide is at least possible in this day and age. The world did no know the full extent of Germany's action until well into the process.
If we rely on the logic of the German approach, we wouldn't be able to call the thing a thing until its too late. The point being made is that if you wait long enough to be able to a full historical analysis, you've effectively become an apologist for genocide on the basis of a lack of evidence.
And I would argue that Israels actions over the previous 80 years are extremely comparable to what the National Socialists did in Germany, and in some ways, even more disgusting. Germany ran concentration camps for around 12 years. Israel has been running them for almost 80. Germany treated it as a war of extermination. Israel is running it as a war of extermination. What other than a death camp would you call Israelli detention facilities?
The only difference is that we have the opportunity to stop Israel in its tracks, now, as its becomes clear the Israelies are not going to stop until the entire Palestinian population is eliminated. Disallowing or diminishing comparisons between the most famous historical genocide and the ongoing Israeli genocide in Palestine supports genocide
The thing is called a thing and should be called a thing. I.e. genocide. All genocide needs to be stopped at almost any cost. I don't have any capacity to argue further, so many people are saying things.
Ok. Well thats not what you are doing and its not what German law or Feddit is doing. People are trying to call a thing a thing, and are getting push back saying "You can't call this thing that thing".
You are doing the thing people are accusing you of; you are apologizing for genocide, not resisting it.
You again ignore that the "thing" I talk about is a "genocide", which is what is happening, and it is one of the worst things humans can do to each other and needs to be stopped at all costs.
You insist on not trying to understand, I'm done.
No, its that you continue to insist that your "nuance" isn't apoligism.
This isn't a train station. No need to announce your departure. Everyone here can read your words and judge you for themselves, and they are, and they see you apologizing for genocide. You should take the time of your departure to mediate on why that might be.
Only while saying the people resisting it are also wrong and doing Holocaust exceptionalism in defense of liberal zionists, lmao.
The original comment was good and correct. Supporting one settler state committing genocide is actually the same as supporting another.
I've never said that the people resisting their genocide were wrong to do it. You're intentionally misinterpreting what I'm saying.
I don't disagree with you, that's why I tried to explain the nuance, but apparently I failed, I'm sorry about that.
No, I'm really not. You're all over this thread repeating hasbara lies about Hamas and misrepresenting the history of "Israel" in comparison to the history of the Holocaust (you correctly include the Warsaw Ghetto in the Holocaust but appear to think the Nakba isn't relevant).
You might actually have convinced yourself that this is principled and nuanced anti-zionism, but it's not. You are being a zionist and I urge you to reconsider your positions on this.
You didn't fail to explain what you mean, I understood that. Where you failed is that you are, knowingly or unknowingly, manufacturing nuance that does not exist.
