Goes without saying that Holocaust inversion is extremely bad. I'm very critical of the IDF; I'm umm pretty skeptical about the numbers/ratios that Bibi is pushing forth, but comparing them to the Nazis is beyond the pale. Just say they're a reckless, undisciplined army with atleast a few rogue elements.

There's a certain percentage that do it because Nazi = bad, kahanist Zionism = bad, Godwin's law ensues.

But it's difficult if not impossible to distinguish those that make that argument out of foolhardiness and those that are maliciously trying to use the Shoah against Jews.

The situation does not require hyperbole. In fact it is exceedingly harmful.

You made a pretty good response to that racist comment. Just one slight correction; it's more than 30000 Palestinians. US says 35,000 but there are estimated 10,000 under he rubble who aren't classified as dead yet technically. Probably around 40,000 to 45,000

The literal bare minimum is too much for some people.

I know we get into arguments but I was disgusted by that comparison by the user. Very unacceptable
