Civilian Casualties in Gaza vs. Germany (in WW2)

[jwoodie]

I think the issue of civilian casualties in Gaza should be viewed in a broader context. Just as most civilians in Gaza support Hamas, so did most Germans support the Nazis during WW2. Millions of German civilians were killed because that was necessary to depose the Nazis. How is that any different from Gaza civilians being killed in order to depose Hamas? Is Israel being held to a double standard?

Admitting you're genociding the Gazan citizens is a good first step in the process.

Kudos to you OP!

The more apt comparison is the Nazis attempt to exterminate the Jews as compared to the genocide that has murdered nearly 40,000 women and children.

edit: now nearly 60,000 women and children.

Genociding? At this rate, it would take 1000 years to get rid of everyone in Gaza.

Did the Allies genocide the German people at the end of WWII?

They only did what was needed to remove the Nazis from power.

The Israelis are doing the same. If they wanted to kill all the Palestinians in Gaza, they would have done so months ago.

If Israel wasn't concerned about civilian casualties, the "war" would have been over in 3 days.

How can you make peace with millions of genocidal maniacs? You can’t.

Eradicating Hamas was made necessary because Hamas committed horrible atrocities while killing well over a thousand Israelis, some in the most imaginably cruel manner, as well a few visitors to Israel. More than 300 men, women and children were kidnapped and taken to Gaza. The Octob er 7 attack comparatively was like 15 or more times the scale of 9/11.

Further Hamas has promised many many more October 7ths and has as its manifesto the eradication of the Jews and erasing Israel off the face of the Earth. THAT is Genocide.

How many did the Nazis kill in the USA? Zero. How many Jews did they murder? Six million and would have killed millions more if we and the other allies had not intervened. The Nazis killed an estimated 11 million more people in various countries before they were forced to unconditional surrender. How many would they have killed had the Allies not intervened?
Was that worth the roughly 2+ million German civilian deaths? Few would say that it was not. And nobody suggests the Allied goal was genocide of the German people.

How many Jews will Hamas kill if allowed to continue? Every single one they can find. And then history informs us that they will will start in on others who do not obey Sharia Law.

I think it's going to become much more deadly for the Zionists than the Oct.7th. revenge attack. The Zionist regime has to learn to fight Hamas and not continue the genocide against the Palestinian people.

There is no genocide against the Palestinian people. You show yourself to be at best seriously uninformed and at worst seriously dishonest to keep characterizing it that way.
