Or Melissa Barrera.

u/murkycrombus Aug 03 '26

she was outright doing holocaust denial, that’s kind of a pretty normal line you shouldn’t cross

u/Persongettingby Aug 04 '26

She literally didn’t. She said Gaza was being treated like the holocaust (they were/are) and her company said it was NO holocaust and that she made “false references” of genocide. Meaning they don’t believe Israel committed a genocide which we now know to be true. The UN stated Israel was committing genocide and we’ve have numerous ceasefire since.

Therefore Melissa Barrera was 100% correct in saying that. She was punished for being educated way earlier than others .

Oh shut the fuck up about holocaust, Gaza is bad but unfortunately not super exceptional in comparison to other conflicts of this century and in no way close to the industrialized slaughter of the holocaust.

No one ever remembers Western Sahara anymore, Morocco can do whatever they want.

So the worst currently ongoing conflict is Ukraine-Russia. Very simple, Russia attacked Ukraine completely unprovoked, wants the territory and russifies the parts it can get its hands on.

Is that on the same level as the holocaust?

I dont think so, the end goal of the russian invasion is terrifying but its not the complete systematic slaughter of the Ukrainian population. Same for Israel, i believe their goal is to get rid of Hamas. They very much committed war crimes and Bibis government needs to be deposed but its not fkin holocaust.

Ok, lets say this 100% true.

If you take issue with comparing these two based on the statistics, then, circling back to my original reply, you surely must have an even bigger problem with the holocaust comparison, no?
