      It’s weird how often Zionists do Hitler apologia by trying to imply a modern milquetoast politician, or even the whole of Palestinians, is worst than Hitler.

          I recall seeing a photo (so anecdotal; it’s not indicative of a greater trend) of a small group of Israelis holding a sign saying ‘Hitler was right but about the wrong people’; there’s literally Israelis (like Netanyahu) who honestly like Hitler but wish it had been Arabs he’d genocided (which…like what, all of maybe five people in all of Germany?) cause they want to be able to publicly admit they thought he was cool.

          Which reminds me of neo-Nazi Eastern Europeans (Slavs specifically) who like…do they realize if Hitler had been successful they never would have been born?

            There was an Israeli politician in I assume the Knesset who famously repeated an apocryphal Hitler quote, that “I cannot live so long as a single Jew lives” saying that he believed the same but of “Islamo-Nazis,” which contextually seemed to mean any Palestinian with political agency independent of Israel.

            It’s more of a mainstream at this point to whitewash nazism by comparing it with communism, comprador Slavic countries propganda just never mention Generalplan Ost and that Slavs were right after Jews in the line to gas chambers. A lot of more open neonazis cope by adopting position that Hitler was right, but he and Germans were “Jewish mongrels” so they lost and the real Aryans are Slavs, this allows them to also hate “western degeneracy”, Israel and Russia at the same time.

    “I think killing Palestinian children is bad” is apparently the same thing as “I want to genocide the Jews” apparently?

      I don’t think they do. Not that this is a definitive example, but I’m not shocked when Ethan Klein admits that he dreads going outside. I bet a lot of these dorks have convinced themselves of the same thing. Homie has said he’s never doing live shows again because it’s “just too risky”. They’re all literally this meme:

      Ironically I recall that segment he did on Colbert where he mentioned he’s aware of Jewish people’s fears and he’s trying to help them feel safe.

      To which I already know the answers of the people who hate him: ‘If he wants people to feel safe he shouldn’t have run for office’, and like, even if he hadn’t they still would continue feeling the way they do; at least this way he can prove he’s there to help everyone, including them.

    It’s ridiculous how quickly liberals will jump to whitewashing fascism. When Hitler ran, he lost, and it was an economic liberal who appointed him as part of what amounted to an anticommunist coalition. Furthermore, those who did vote for Hitler (and we can say those who voted for Nazis generally, since even the “left wing” was just using a different framework to condemn all Jewish people), the Holocaust’s specific form was undecided but Hitler was screaming in Mein Kampf about the need for Europe to have no more ethnic Jews, and “the Jewish Question” was a standard element of political discourse where basically any member of the Nazi Party would give you this or that reason to reach the same basic conclusion.

    So they are telling two lies pulling in opposite directions – exaggerating Hitler’s popularity and then absolving his supporters – where the only real commonality is whitewashing fascism. It’s seriously just Nazi apologia.

    The Nazi belief that if you don’t approve of our genocide it must mean you want to genocide us.

    No we cannot just stop doing genocide its clearly us or them! People of different religions or ethnicities can never live together!

      You know what’s unfortunate? If words had meaning they could use this as an opportunity to test if their beliefs are patently absurd or if maybe, just maybe, Zohran isn’t the monster they think he is.

      Sadly we’re at a point where people will say any absurd nonsense not because they believe it, but because they like how grandiose it sounds.
