#as the jewish holocaust. if that makes sense. i know the holocaust affected different ppl other than jews

[sereniv]

As much as one can draw comparisons to the Jewish Holocaust to what israel is doing to Palestinians, i still dont think its right to compare jews to nazis

Its wrong on many levels, from factually wrong, to morally wrong.

not only is it wrong in the way that israel doesnt speak for all jews, so if you were to make a comparison you would refer to israel as the nazis, not jews.

but overall calling the oppressed by the title of their oppressors in the way of 'jews are acting like nazis' doesnt get anything done. among other things

israel is fascist, israel is colonialist, israel is commiting genocide, israel is islamophobic, israel is antisimetic (in the common use of the term that refers to only jews). israel white supremacy. these all true statements

but jews are being the nazis is not. and not only does nothing to help anyone but hits at every jew, both palestinian-hating zionist israeli jews and every other jew

all its showing when you compare jews to nazis is that you dont understand the situation, the nuance, the history. you are using your anger to be antisimetic

what you can say instead is that israel is being islamophobic and commiting genocide. israel is terroising people. israel is occupying stolen land. israel is practicing white supremacy. israel is a fascist state, and brainwashes its citizens to subscribe to its fascist ideas.

Dont let whats happening make you hateful towards the wrong people, and dont makenit lose your ability to understand the complexity that is the israeli citizens upbringing

meaning, regadless of how we emotionally feel first about zionist israeli jews, logically we should recognize that there are ex-zionist israeli jews and that is worth something. that is worth pursing and fighting for, just like for ex-fascists of any kind

this does not mean forgive nor forget. this does not mean you cant feel anger or even hate

it means that you need to recognize what is actually important to focus on. learn nuance, learn complexity. learn to stop and pick apart what youre seeing and hearing and above all else lead with your love of Palestine and Palestinian people and remember that you should also love Jews

Because this is not Jews. Jews are not Nazis. Nazis are Nazis. Israel is not Nazis and Israel is not Jews.

And if you cant tell the difference and this just seems like im being redundant, then idk what to tell you. If youre not willing to consider you may be wrong about something like this and would rather die on the hill that jews are being nazis and that that is an accurate and appropriate comparison, a comparison that is so necessary that you need to say it outloud, then maybe youre more reactionary then you might realize.

#FreePalestine if it wasnt clear

#palestine #tbh i cant say this applies to any Palestinian especially those in palestine rn bc i cant say that if i was in that scenario or my people #were being eradicated idk id id have time to focus on this #what i mean is this is towards everyone else who has no stake in this other than being against genocide and oppression #we who have the ability and time and comfort to regulate the emotions and figure that shit out #if that makes sense #like ive seen palestinians who have been antisimetic talking about thr holocaust and as wrong as that is and #as much as i absolutely dont agree and hate that #and i do combat it with civility #i cant help but recognize and understand why they said that. its antisimetic and its bigotry #but its understandable from their shoes. not understandable as a concept just as a situational response #so this post doesnt apply to anyone who fits that. it fits us who can turn off all the horror and go and do something else #who have time to reflect and think and consider and learn #also when i say jewish holocaust im saying like the part of the holocaust that targeted jews and how israel paints it #as the jewish holocaust. if that makes sense. i know the holocaust affected different ppl other than jews
