Israeli officials have accused Brazil’s president of antisemitism following his comparison of Israeli violence to that of the Nazis
…
“For a foreign ministry to address a head of state from a friendly country in this way is unusual and revolting. It is a shameful page in the history of Israel’s diplomacy,” the Brazilian diplomat went on to say, adding that Israel is trying to cover up its crimes in Gaza with a smokescreen
No, it does not. As I said, I think the current events including the ongoing situation in the westbank and other fits the definition of a genocide. But it is thankfully still not the industrial-sized killing complex that was the Holocaust.
You can’t take the current situation out of the historical context. Not saying I agree with the idea that Israel is the same as Nazi but saying “Hamas did shoot first” is missing some crucial steps.
Well, if you want to dive into the history I’d argue “the Arabian nations shot first”.
Still, summing up the last ~80 years of Israeli history doesn’t amount to a genocide comparable to the Nazis. Again: Israel did commit atrocities, but not on the same level as the Third Reich.
