    It’s bad, but “making nazis blush”? Let’s not blow things out of proportion by downplaying the holocaust. This doesn’t touch the Third Reich, Armenia, Cambodia, Mao, or Stalin. On one hand, genocide is genocide, but the scales are way different.

      It is of a lower scale than the Holocaust, because Israel is being held back by the international community. Most places in Gaza are either already in famine or will be soon at this rate. If Israel has its way the scale will match these genocides (as a proportion of the population of course). I do agree that comparisons to the Holocaust are exaggerations and therefore unproductive, but let’s not forget that the real genocide is just starting.

      sure lets argue the genocide is not too bad…

      this is the response you bothered to type out here? not even the usual “he is the lesser evil!!” or something

      sure stalin killed trillions somehow so we have some room to kill a few palestinians here and a couple more mexicans there and still look good for this years election cycle

        Thanks for putting words in my mouth! Maybe try rereading my comment?

        Once more for the people in the back: “Genocide is genocide, but the scales are incomparable”

          oh yes, its just a little genocide, not much! you surely cant compare it with nazis!

          what harm does it do?

          sure those other genocides cant compare with our finesse and compassion with the gazans or mexicans over this last century

          ever notice how the outwardly fascist conservatives love it? just a coincidence, our guy is blue not red!

              dunno but pretending not to be a closet nazi sure doesnt seem to be yours.

              the shoe seems to fit perfectly for you. mentioning nazis really got you going to defend your precious octogenarian maniac.
