This phrase rings like a bell in my circles every time the topic of humanitarian ceasefire comes up, and it effectively stonewalls the conversation. Just a point of frustration that I have no real place to ventilate.
Other bangers include:
- Israel can’t trust the Palestinians, they’ve never been given a reason to do so.
- Hamas wants to make Israel not exist.
- So you equate Israel now to Nazis during WW2? (while talking about the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising)
- Hamas takes drugs and …

rapes corpses of women and children.
Hard to be interested in engaging after reading that last one, but no one else is going to bring the missing half of the conversation.
I would say equating Israel with Nazis is not something I would do, the mechanization and industrialization of genocide that the Nazis did has yet to be replicated. But I will say that what Israel is doing is very similar to what pogromists have done in the past.
I hear you, but I wasn’t equating Israel to Nazis. I was actually equating Palestinians to Jews in World War II during the Warsaw ghetto uprisings, which of course was turned around on me.
Gotcha
