    This will diminish the Holocaust. Imagine this film being shown with Schlindler’s List. People will conclude that the Israelis are no different than the Nazis.

      People will conclude that the Israelis are no different than the Nazis.

      If you search here in this very community you’ll find opinion polls in Israel in which the majority of their population basically condone the ongoing genocide. So yes, they’re no different.

        LoL! Are you really repeating the tired hasbara that Netanyahu used to completely try and rewrite history to blame the Holocaust on Palestinians?

        As for the Holocaust revisionism itself, sadly, it is not. The incoming Israeli ambassador to the UK, Mark Regev, referred reporters inquiring about Netanyahu’s pronouncements concerning the mufti to a 1993 book that details the mufti’s relations with the Third Reich. Its author is Benjamin Netanyahu.

        You cannot attribute one leader’s beliefs and actions to an entire population.

            Not every Israeli has the same beliefs either. Some of them are appalled by their country’s actions

              Literally South Africa’s entire case for “Gaza genocide” before the ICJ is predicated on the statements of the most right-wing Israeli leaders - often in positions that have no authority over the IDF - speak for their army and the intent of their operation to disarm Hamas and retrieve hostages.

              But of course when you explore the statements of Palestinian leaders, you get “well they don’t speak for every Palestinian.”
