why would you invite a war criminal to remember the holocaust?

Clearly he doesn't need reminding

Albert Einstein's letter to the New York Times was spot on.

They are antisemitic that's for sure

It’s wasn’t the ethnic cleansing of Jews that was bad, it was the ethnic cleansing of Jews that was bad.

The more Israelis who wake up to this, the better.

This number is and has always been a rounding error. Better not count on it.

It's a complete shitshow down there. Because he's actually kind of right. It's a Stalin calling Hitler a monster kind of situation. Not like Hamas wouldn't genocide the shit out of Israelians if they had the means.

Still doesn't mean tha Netanjahu isn't just as much of a monster.

Hamas wouldn't exist if they had the means; they're a resistance organization.

Well, yeah, because they've been radicalized by having their families brutally killed in front of them. Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.

Did he take the literal nazis' dicks he's been sucking out of his mouth before he said that?

Satire isn't just dead, reality is fucking its corpse in the middle of the street.

As a wise man once said: Every accusation is a confession.

It seems the original term is accusation in a mirror, coined in 1970 by Roger Mucchielli. There's also an Irish article from 1998 coming awfully close to the more common version. My conclusion: I have no idea.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 17 points 13 hours ago

Just like Russia calling Ukrainians Nazis, while employing nazis

Ah, by all distinction and similarity with Nazism and the Nazi party, there are few groups in the world right now that are more aligned to it than Benny's cohort and ideologies. But they are not as effective in their actions. Ben's damned near line for line from the Nazi playbook.

The only hold back is social. The world's not able to socially understand how those persecuted by the Nazis have now become the Nazis. Honestly, the only difference here is we're talking a small section of the middle-east and not all of Europe. The stinctions are otherwise quite minimal.

A small section of the Middle East for now, and not for lack of trying. They're actively trying to restart the Syrian civil war.

Nothing like deflecting your own flaws to distract a global audience

Every accusation is a confession; Especially true for Zionists.

[–] itisileclerk@lemmy.world 19 points 15 hours ago

But the fact is that "Israel is a new Nazi"!

This user, "drag", is a transphobic troll who repeatedly told another user to kill themself while they begged "drag" to stop. "Drag" has also sent gore and child porn in PMs to other users they disagreed with, including PugJesus, FlyingSquid, and Ada. Please, everyone report their comments wherever you see them.

[–] sit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 hours ago

Seems to be an odd person that often states their opinion by talking about themselves in third person, referring to themselves as „drag“.

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 1 points 5 hours ago

There's nothing to report here.
