Germany has a weird obsession with "paying back" the Jews to the point they're willing to support them on their very own holocaust.
By equating these two countries and their horrible crimes you are severely downplaying what happened in the Holocaust.
I don’t think the Palestinians of Gaza give two shits about what Europeans did to Jews 80 years ago. All that a father burying bits and pieces of his young children who have been obliterated by an Israeli missile is concerned about, is that Israelis murdered his family and are exterminating his people.
You are severely downplaying what happens in Gaza and to Palestinians.
"No you can't compare two ethnic supremacists, expansionist, genocidal regimes! One committed their genocide against Europeans and the other in the middle East!"
Not really. Israel just started their Holocaust, give them time, they're still solidifying the axis with American. They aren't the same, one led to the other in an intensely ironic way.
How does equating two European ethno-supremacist entities and their horrible crimes downplay what happened in the Holocaust?
Arguably the latter lunatic European ethno-supremacist cancer entity plaguing West Asia is worse, but there are way too many similarities between the two to dismiss the idea of equating the two.
I see your point but you're misinterpreting the meme. It's saying the act of decorating the Brandenburg gate this way is the same, not the two countries.
Both are nationalism
Both are supporting apartheid and discrimination
Im both cases, Germany is complicit in genocide
With that logic decorating the Brandenburg gate in pride flags is also kind of the same. So what’s your point?
Also funny how you say that the countries are not the same, and then just try to explain why they are similar. At least try to get your argument straight.
By that logic my ass. There is no a genocidal gay supremacy ethnostate.
Please explain how decorating the Brandenburg gate in pride flags supports genocide.
Be specific.
Ah yes, those Gay expansionist nationionalists who always go around committing genocide.
I guess nobody is committing genocide with Pride flags on their arms, that's the difference.

Supporting Palestinian liberation is not anti-semitism. Zionism is anti-semitic, it depends on genocide of Palestinian Jews and is anti-Yiddish.

THIS takes the cake? Tankies defending Putin and Stalin was fine? calling everybody and everything a liberal for having a opinion was funny? But somebody notices that Germany is once again participating in genocide and THAT is where you draw the line? :D

So true! Germany declared war on the entire world and brought destruction to Europe while carrying out a genocide! Israel only declared war on the entire middle East and destroys them while carrying out a genocide!
You've traded in German supremacy for European supremacy...the same thing your government did, hence why they support European occupation and genocide of the middle East.
Germany's support for Israel shows that Germany learned nothing from the tragedy of the Holocaust.
The Holocaust teaches us that genocide and mass murder are wrong and evil. Yet modern German government supports Israel in comitting genocide against Palestinians.
There will be another memorial in Berlin 50 years from now, commemorating the Palestinians that were killed in the genocide Germany supported.
Germany learned plenty. They learned, for example, that by doing your atrocities in service of the hegemon you'll be rewarded. What wasn't okay was doing them while attempting to become the hegemon.
Germany learned that everything else they did was fine and ok, except that Jewish people are off limits.
"both sides"
One side is committing genocide.
The other side are an oppressed people fighting for their basic human rights.
Yes, there are civilian deaths on both sides, and that is lamentable. But to imply that it is anywhere near an equal conflict or that both sides are anywhere near equally to blame is completely ignorant of the facts.

What the fuck are you talking about
Who the fuck is painting Russia as some savior of Palestinians?
