It has nothing to do with anti-semitism, and in fact nothing to do with ethnicity at all.
Conversely, the people who today don’t protest against the Palestinian Genocide would not have protested against the Holocaust.
protests the Holocaust
“Oh my god, that’s so Germanaphobic! You monster!”
I would be 0% surprised if the 1930s version of that did in fact happen. “Those fucking poles can’t run a country, good on Hitler to show them how to keep their rabble in check” or something like that, and spoken in a transatlantic accent.
They did, there was a lot of backlash against anti-nazis, especially pre-holocaust. Partially because nazi propoganda was so effective across the world. But also partially because anti-Semitism was practically mainstream across the world.
US famously rejected a boat of 900 jewish and other German refugees cause 1 dude lied (these people would be sent back and 40% of them would later die in the holocaust). We were terrified of foreign spies, which is an attitude that culminated in it internment of the Japanese. We were offered Jewsih refugees many times, including like 20,000 children, we rejected them.

Right on track, the US is deporting Russian dissidents back to Russia, where they’ll likely be tortured. Thank a lot, republicans! Really helping out your pal putin.
I doubt it since the holocaust happened 70 years ago
its a bit more complex, sadly. german antifascist groups have been leaning towards being very zionist
You can’t be anti-fascist and pro-zionism. That’s like being against animal cruelty except for chickens.
I completely agree. anti-Deutsch have be3j internationally condemned
I 100% agree but you do realize most people did not go out and protest the jewish holocaust while it was going on?
Jews becoming supremists, falling for a Reichstag fire event, staying quiet, and following orders to comitt a genocide against a semite population is not something I had on my bingo card.
Do you know nothing of Israels history? Even before the country was formed (and before WW1) when it was Zionist extremists pouring into the region, this was always the end goal.
Einstein even clued onto what Israel was very quickly once he saw it.
Who protested against the Holocaust?
That’s against Nazis. Not a lot of people knew about the Holocaust outside of Germany.
I found this one, which happened in Berlin and led to the release of 1800 Jewish people (!).
A lot of people knew.
Resistance networks who hid and smuggled targets out of reach at the very least.
A form of protest, perhaps, but probably not what OP was thinking of.
I doubt that was a literal shower thought .
with ZYKLON B showers.
I mean not exactly the same people because there are definitely some antisemitic shit heads that are using the protest as cover and are trying to radicalize people that rightfully protest the israeli government to also hate the israeli population.
The whole situation has nuance that I don’t see talked about a lot on here.
Not a lot of nuance to bombing hospitals.
Thank you for demonstrating the issue.
You’re not contradicting their point, you know?
I’ve been to a pro-pal protests few around different cities and have never met any real anti-Semite on the side of the protest. I have, however, met a couple of counter protesters that hold the Israeli flag yet proudly call themselves white supremacists.
guess what, Palestinians are the real semites in this genocide. israelis are european.
Do those protesting for Gaza also protest about Sudan, Yemen, Rohingya, West Sahara, Yezidis, Uyghurs, Christians in Nigeria, Kurds, and so on?

Whenever I read this, I roll my eyes. This is one of the most ridiculous arguments.
You have to start somewhere and you can’t put your focus on everything. Plus your argument is a method to move the topic to “do you/they this and this and this and that?” Instead of the actual on-topic.
The OP‘s argument is exactly that.
Yes.
