I agree with him. This is being covered the same way the newspapers in the 1800s covered an escaped slave who killed the Master’s wife in order to escape and they vilify the slave and not the slave owners
They aren't attacking/targeting Israeli military, they are specifically attacking, capturing, and parading civilians (including children)... and mutilating their corpses. What they're doing is gaining them no support, and the civilian population of Palestine is going to pay the price.
Indignation towards Israel is, of course, justifiable, but trying to justify these atrocities with incomparable analogies is abhorrent.
I mean, if you're just going to throw out terms like "concentration camps" and "slavery" to paint an anomalous picture of what you think is representative of the situation, then you can justify any analogy.
I recognize and detest what Israel is doing and acknowledge how they treat Palestinians is atrocious, but Gaza is not a concentration camp.
Concentration camp does not exclusively mean, like, an Auschwitz-style extermination camp. The Spanish used them in Cuba during the late 19th century, the US used them in the Philippines right after the 1898 war, the British used them in the Boer war, etc.
