One might describe that as a concentration camp.

[–] FishFace@lemmy.world 56 points 3 days ago

The Israeli government has declared this comment anti-semitic and offensive.

Unfortunately they weren't able to show how it was false.

[–] dan1101@lemmy.world 29 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Followed by an accidental missile.

"Whoops, we pinky swear we'll investigate ourselves for that. Anyway, since they're all gone now, we can go back to normal relations with the rest of the world, right?"

[–] catty@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

in defence because they started it

[–] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

They do, openly now.

How does a people that experiences the horrors of concentration camps and genocide, just a few generations later, get to the point of perpetrating the same crimes that their predecessors were victims of?

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 25 points 2 days ago

By not experiencing the horrors of concentration camps and genocide. Zionists like to Holocaustwash their atrocities, but the people who built and now populate Israel for the most part have nothing to do with the Holocaust. Prominent Zionist leaders in British Palestine were all there before the war, and half the population of Israel is of Middle Eastern—not European—descent. In fact at least at first (not sure if it's a thing now) Zionist Jews actively looked down on Holocaust victims and survivors as weak diaspora Jews who suffered because of their weakness, unlike strong Aliyah Jews who would never go through such a thing.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

This is going to cause a stir but Israel is not in large part comprised of nor lead by Holocaust survivors and in fact there was a vocal refusal to deal with or acknowledge Israel because proto Israelis kept bombing schools and hotels while also murdering Muslim and Christian leaders that opposed the creation of an Israeli state in currently settled land displacing the native populace.

Don't get me wrong there are survivors, there are survivors who were influential in both the creation and operation of Israel but there were never enough Jews in mandatory Palestine which is why for like what 100 years Israel has called Jews to return "home" (Hok Ha-Shvut).

It's neither here nor there but this insistence they have some deeper understanding of the Holocaust then any other nation is infuriating.

You either die a hero or you live long enough to become the villain.

Once they're all in there they'll claim "hamas is using the camp for terrorism" and just blanket it with 2000 lbs dumb bombs, while calling it a "precision strike".

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 34 points 3 days ago

Ah yes, you could say it's a camp where they can be nicely concentrated.

[–] Asmodeus_Krang@infosec.pub 29 points 3 days ago (1 children)

A concentration camp by any other name

[–] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 5 points 2 days ago

No you see it's very different actually because this is an entire city, like Warsaw or any other random example.

[–] MuskyMelon@lemmy.world 28 points 3 days ago (1 children)

With communal showers and heating chambers am I right?

Why waste a bomb when you can use no-food for free? Oh, maybe it's a recreational bombing.

[–] borf@lemmynsfw.com 21 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

They plan to do what to the entire Gaza population? What was that verb?

[–] raynethackery@lemmy.world 19 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Ghetto, the word you are looking for is ghetto.

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 31 points 3 days ago (1 children)
[–] FaceDeer@fedia.io 17 points 3 days ago

Yeah, this is more of a camp. A camp where they can concentrate a specific sub-population of people into.

Don't know if there's a specific word for that.

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] atticus88th@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Republicans right now: "Thats antisemitic talk!"

[–] frenchfryenjoyer@lemmings.world 17 points 3 days ago

Gee, I'm sure this didn't happen with that other genocide /s

Genocide deniers have blood on their hands for allowing this shit to escalate even further

[–] realitista@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Is that what we are calling concentration camps these days?

[–] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago

No, it's a "humanitarian" city, so that probably means that they will do a "precision" airstrike on it at some point. It's not a concentration camp, it's a concentrated target.

[–] Phen@lemmy.eco.br 15 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Wife has been binging Law and Order SVU recently and I noticed there's a lot of episodes where they have abused children turn into abusive adults, with the explanation that it's a natural response of the brain trying to get in a position where it will never be vulnerable again.

No idea if that theory has any merit, but if true I wonder if that can also happen in a larger scale, to an entire society instead of just to an individual.

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 25 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Zionists arent victims they are supremecists. They were up to the building Israel plan (violently when necessary) before ww2 even happened. They are simply racist terrorists.

[–] granolabar@kbin.melroy.org 16 points 3 days ago

Most people don't under tstand this important point... Colonization of Palestine by European Jews pre dated WW2

It break their mind when confronted with this historical fact as their entire programming is being contradicted

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It has literally been happening in the region for over 80 years. Why do you think Hamas even exists?

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Because opportunists love a tragedy they can exploit?

[–] rumimevlevi@lemmings.world 2 points 1 day ago

Opportunists do not sacrifice their lives and the lives ton of their family members for a cause

Huh. I see they’re shipping right past concentration camps and moving right to a concentration city.

[–] Outwit1294@lemmy.today 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Good idea. Concentrate all civilians in one small area. Easier to bomb.

[–] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

They've been doing that for over a year. The area is just a lot smaller now.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 15 points 1 day ago

Never again unless we're doing it to someone else!

-Israel

[–] Tronn4@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Concentration camp. The Jewish people are building a Concentration camp

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

The Israeli people are building a concentration camp. There are millions of Jews worldwide that have nothing to do with this. Don't be part of the problem.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago
[–] UncleGrandPa@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Which will mysteriously burn to the ground....

[–] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 4 points 1 day ago

Oh no, they'll bomb the everliving shit out of it, right in broad daylight, and claim they located the last member of Hamas there.

[–] Snowies@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago

“Concentrate” them huh…

Like… in some sort of “camp”?

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)
[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

It's clearly not a genocide. I know this because the media has told me to reject the evidence of my eyes and ears. It seemed pretty final and essential.
