That's about what the Nazis thought about Jews.

Gaza is just Warsaw 2.0.

Well, top Israeli politicians have been calling Palestinians (not Hamas, Palestinians) "human animals" for quite a while now, so it's not at all surprising to seen plenty of Israelis use this and other variants of untermenschen.

Dehumanizing the targeted ethnicity is an essential part of ethno-Fascism and Genocide along ethnic lines, especially the ones were the aggressors want to do a little Holocausting.

Meanwhile Germany "unwaveringly supports" this.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 hours ago

I don't know if you're a history buff, but in the past Germany was really into this sort of stuff, so I'm not too surprised that Germany would support this.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 12 hours ago

It's what the Nazis did to make Jews appear to be subhuman. Yes they called them roaches too

[–] [email protected] 16 points 16 hours ago

Oh I best not speak out against him, lest I look like an antisemite.

Sounds very much like language from the Rowandan Genocide....

Israel is trying to commit genocide.

Say it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago

Rowandan Genocide

It is taken straight from nazi propaganda.

I will never understand how one human can look at another human and not see them as an equal.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 23 hours ago (4 children)

It's at that second I view the person as less valuable than the rest of the population. Fuck these people, and there's too many of them...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago

I do get where you're coming from, but when I said equal, I mean from a basic humanitarian standpoint. I truly believe every person on this planet should have what they need to survive. Shelter, clean water and food and a basic means to live in society, whatever that looks like in their area.

Even the person in the video deserves this. However, I personally wouldn't help them better themselves beyond those basic functions. You do reap what you sow at some point.

No tolerance

[–] [email protected] 3 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I don’t disagree with either of you but there is something ironic about what you said.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Haha, it is kind of ironic, but I'd say it's more of the paradox of tolerance.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 hours ago

Yeah true. That’s actually a good point.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 20 hours ago

That's why people who care need to band together more

I vite for discord/revolt servers per city/state/country to get things done

[–] andybytes 13 points 20 hours ago

This fucking sociopath, or should I say psychopath, should brush his fucking teeth.

[–] [email protected] 79 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Not nazis at all. Not in the slightest. Not mirroring everything nazis used to do, including their propaganda.

Nazis used to call "lesser races" rats, lice, vermin etc. Typical nazi rhetoric. Now nazis are calling Palestinians "cockroaches"

See below an example of a nazi propaganda poster. This "doctor" is a perfect example of a nazi, using exactly the same kind of propaganda.

Now there's more than one Holocaust

[–] [email protected] 3 points 20 hours ago (3 children)

The Holocaust specifically refers to the genocide of the Jewish people during WW2, if we talk about genocides in general there are many around the world:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_American_genocide_in_the_United_States

https://1997-2001.state.gov/regions/eur/fs_990331_ksvo_ethnic.html

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genocide_of_Indigenous_Australians

That is not to excuse the people that do it, just to combat the idea that genocide happened once and will never again and only the nazis are capable of it.

The whole imperialist system is built on top of genocide and should be abolished because of it!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 14 hours ago

Incorrect - the word is actually Greek in origin and goes back quite a ways before WW2

hol·o·caust /ˈhäləˌkôst,ˈhōləˌkôst,ˈhäləˌkäst,ˈhōləˌkäst/ noun 1. destruction or slaughter on a mass scale, especially caused by fire or nuclear war. "a nuclear holocaust"

[–] [email protected] 6 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (1 children)

I second calling this the Palestinian holocaust just to fuck with them zionists.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 15 hours ago

Well cool, but you can also just use the proper name, the Nakba

[–] [email protected] 8 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

I'm taking away the term "holocaust" from their exclusive use. There's no reason why it should be reserved for their genocide by the Nazis that they're emulating now.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

To preface: Fuck Israel and the atrocities they are committing in this genocide.

All Jews were specifically targeted during the Holocaust. These people are Israeli. While they happen to be Jewish, don't conflate the two. It's verging on actual antisemitic sentiment.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

verging on actual antisemitic sentiment.

Nope, I'm not advocating anything against the Jews nor denying the atrocities that happened to them. I'm just taking away their special noun and using it against Israel.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 16 hours ago

You may not be advocating for anything but this is the kind of shit bad actors love to latch on to.

Israel is committing a genocide. Israel's intent is clear in these atrocities and Israeli's like this doctor who continue to so outspokenly voice these sentiments paint the very clear picture of the monsters they have become.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 15 hours ago

As previously mentioned, there is a name for that, it's the Nakba

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What the fuck do they teach in Israel? At this point, maybe they shouldn't be a country. So much hate from that place.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 day ago

At this point? This was part of their founding ideology.

Calling one person out is weird. The last 2 years is filled with statement from the prime minister all the way down to Zionist in North America streets using the same genocidal language.. it just so casual that we see it more..

Don't forget tiktok of soldiers happy with their loots of women and children clothing

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

“Proponents and culprits of genocide use genocidal language.”

[–] [email protected] -2 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

And my crazy cousin claims that the earth is flat (not really but got the point)

What is the point of this headline beyond spreading outrage? (That is good for traffic I guess)

This kind of articles both left and right are just causing communities to fall apart for no good reason.

If this was said from public figures that would have been different. But a doctor can be crazy, it’s his right.

It’s not his right to get this much attention though

Have you ever heard about this thing called "news"?
