    He said that Palestinians should be transferred to the Palestinian camps in Lebanon first. Before Gaza is flattened.

    An article in Hebrew
    Specifically this part:

    “אחרי 7 באוקטובר אני חושב שמה שצריך להיות עכשיו ברצועה זה במקום לקרוא להם ללכת דרומה, לקרוא להם ללכת לחופים, ספינות חיל הים שמות אותם בחופי לבנון, יש שם מספיק מחנות פליטים, ולשים רצועת ביטחון מהים עד הגדר, ריקה לחלוטין, למען יזכרו כולם את כל מה שהיה שם. לשטח הכול בדיוק כמו שיש היום באושוויץ”, טען בפתח הראיון.

    Still a terrible comparison, but very different.

        It does make a difference. It’s important context.

        You can still denounce it. You can still make holocaust comparisons. But it’s important context that shouldn’t be left out. Because you’re perfectly aware of the implication otherwise.

          Yeah, I agree, it’s good to be accurate. However, I doubt that that was the real intention of @ArtikBanana@lemmy.dbzer0.com. That’s the point, hope it’s clear now.

          They weren’t saying this for “accuracy” unfortunately… otherwise no one would have had an issue with it. It’s the undertone that stinks.

            And the “undertone that stinks” is anything that doesn’t agree with your position 100%.

              Sure, whatever floats your boat 🙄

              You wouldn’t respect a holocaust denier, would you? So why would I respect someone like ArtikBanana who is denying another genocide?

            For the life of me I wish I understood why it’s so hard for people to see that genociding one group of people is the same as any other group of people and that Never Again is pretty much right now.

              Look mate, the Israeli government and a significant proportion of the population (enough that these types were elected) are extreme racists - which is painfully obvious in the historical track record of how they refered to Palestinians, especially more recently in things like an Israeli government official openly saying in a press conference that Palestinians are “human animals” - so in their mind Palestinians are not people like Israelis are.

              It’s the very same “untermenschen” thinking as the Nazis, just with a different target group.

            That is true.
            But instead they killed Jews. Which is much worse than that initial plan.
            What is your point in this?

          Who cares about accuracy or the truth these days amiright?

          The ones who care are those who think ethnic cleansing is somehow less bad than genocide, and they realllllly want to show it for some reason, but not for “accuracy”.

            So there’s nothing bad about the slogan “All Lives Matter”, because all lives do matter? You’re saying context is irrelevant? News omitting parts of what someone said is irrelevant?

            So you support news reporting on Palestinians stabbing Jews in the West Bank, without reporting on the settlers that attacked their village a day before?
            I mean, what’s a little omission right?

      Corrections:

      He said that Palestinians should be transferred ethnically cleansed/forcefully displaced to the Palestinian camps ghettos (or maybe I don’t even need to correct this one lol) in Lebanon first. Before Gaza is flattened their homes, memories, and livelihoods are forever destroyed.
