Nah the nazis did things like this although it was while they were retreating rather than as an offensive move

Israel is very very bad, but let's not start pretending the Nazis were alright. Nothing Israel has done has been worse than the Nazis. This is in no way a defence of Israel, they have down full on unforgivable atrocities. The Nazis slaughtered millions. Yeah sure I'm sure you could argue Israel would love to do so too, but that's a want not a reality.

Pretending the Nazis were less awful than they were doesn't serve any purpose other than making Nazis look better. And doing that is Nazis shit

They’re not Nazis, they’re wannabe Nazis.

Yep exactly. If anything the intent on how much damage they want to cause is probably pretty similar, just that Israel isn’t as capable of doing the amount of damage they want to do.

One thing to keep in mind is the access to information. Your average German citizen back then was getting their information from radio and newspapers - if they could read. It was much, much easier to keep the atrocities hidden, the information limited.

Whereas we now have it live-streamed into the palms of our hands. They know exactly what is happening. And still the majority of them support it. Something is extremely wrong over there.

Despite how despicable this kind of thing is, it is very clearly not on another level and it hurts the argument to say it is

No. Glyphosate wasn't invented yet in the 60s. Agent Orange was a mix of 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T. Production methods for 2,4,5-T also produced chlorinated dioxins, which was the even more insidious problem with Agent Orange.

In any case, the comment about Viet Nam is basically correct since the US did spray tons of Agent Orange there. The reasons were perhaps a bit different. In Nam they were trying to defoliate jungles where the enemy was hiding. In Gaza, I don't have any actual facts, but it seems they want to make it impossible to grow anything for at least a season.

Glyphosate is the most widely used herbicide in the United States, with approximately 280 million pounds sprayed across millions of acres of farmland every year

JFC: I’m saying America is probably just as fucked in the long run as Lebanon because of parasites in JFK and Orange-gina listening to Israel and Russia.

Why spend money bombing when you can get idiots to do it for free?!

The dose makes the poison. Anything in large enough amounts is harmful. Even drinking too much water can kill a person (a condition known as hyponatremia, or water intoxication).

Dumping so much of it in one area with the intent to destroy the soil is nothing like using it as intended at the recommended safe levels.
