It appears that in Israel they believe that it’s sufficient to attach the label “humanitarian” to convert every act into a legitimate one. Just like the term “the most moral army in the world”, which is no longer connected to what IDF soldiers are doing, they’re now trying to present a concentration camp to be used for the transfer of population as the most moral one in the world.
An Israeli source said Wednesday that “the plan is to move all civilian Gazans southward to a large tent city in Rafah, in which they’ll have hospitals and plenty of food.” He added: “Just like the prime minister said, as far as I’m concerned, they can be given Ben & Jerry’s ice cream.” A source of blue-and-white pride: In our concentration camp they have ice cream.
In Israel, you’re not allowed to make comparisons, and when you do compare to benighted periods, something always “goes wrong in the translation.” As long as the concentration camp isn’t a waystation on the way to gas chambers, it’s easy to refute the comparison and thereby normalize almost any evil. As long as it’s not a Holocaust, everything’s okay. Thus the historical comparison, which was meant to be cautionary, becomes a tool for muzzling critics and for normalizing the evil.
I bet you Hitler had the same idea
Goebels filmed Jewish ghettos where they put water in cups with black ink in, to look like coffee, to “show” to the German people that the Jews were being taken care of very well in the ghettos (and later camps).
Plus ça change…
…with the most moral genocide, supposely
They go with Trump speak now?
“ppl did shoah to us, then we have the right to nakba them arabs too.”
How in the hell did Israel become the very thing they founded themselves against?
bro believes israel was made to protect the jews lmao
Maybe it’s the irony. After Auschwitz, you’d think “Never again” not “let’s do it better.”
dude, stop associating israel with jewishness
Its the only ethnostate and deserves it.
Mostly by being the very thing it was founded on
NYT 1899: CONFERENCE OF ZIONISTS; Elect Delegates at Their Meeting in Baltimore. WILL COLONIZE PALESTINE
Before the war, Europeans were obsessed with the Jewish question. The question was basically what to do with the jews who refuse to assimilate. The Germans came up with what they coined as the final solution to the Jewish question, which was of course the Holocaust.
Then, after the war, what do Europeans do? Do they accept that Jews can live among them as equals, even though they are different? Do we manage to leave this fucking Jewish question behind us?
Nah, we give them land where other people already live, so that they can have their own state and not bother us.
It’s just another solution to the Jewish question, and it’s rooted in the same fucked up belief that we simply cannot afford to coexist.
Israel was not founded against the Holocaust, it was founded with a basis in the same type of fucked up thinking as the Holocaust itself.
This.
If you read on zionisim there was several places that the zionist considered. They even asked the US if they’d give up new Mexico or airzona to it to be a state for them. Of course, we said no because who wants the Jews? Same with Europe, the solution was to throw them elsewhere despite ironically those jews having European DNA.
and of course, those who happen to “give” (heh) up their land are brown people.
Israel was a project way before the rise of Nazism.
Easy enough to do!
Build a camp with free high quality food and Healthcare. Safe homes for families to live in for free. A mission statement focused on a K-Masters education and continued education with community workshops, gardens, and kitchens to further develope core life skills.
Then let people come and go as they please.
Perfect concentration camp achieved.
Oh wow, they actually wrote this title. 😯
It’s an editorial against the concept, using incongruous words to convey the moral bankruptcy.
Based on who’s morals? The ones who are shooting women and children as they try to get help. The ones killing aid workers and doctors who are trying to help? Those people’s morals?

If “Israel” does take your advise, maybe more libs would start to pay attention to Gaza. With the difference of course that in Gaza libs like yourself would finally take a stance against an actual genocide
or Job Corps
