    Israel is definitely committing acts of genocide, but holocaust comparisons are hyperbole; they haven’t been rounding up Palestinians by the thousands and putting them in gas chambers. Even the most evil acts imaginable still fall on a spectrum.

      Ok, true, no gas chambers… But rounding up Palestinians and lobbing in bombs… That’s what’s happening in rafah right now… Except it’s not thousands… It’s more.

        @S_204 there’s two issues here.

        Auschwitz and the Shoah was not the only genocide, you don’t even need camps to carry out a genocide.

        What Israel is doing is definitely a genocide but whether or not other genocides should be compared to the Holocaust is a separate issue.
