The banner says 'never again is now'. This is such fucking bullshit - never again referred to Dachau concentration camp and G*rman fascism, which is on the rise btw. Don't see these people protest anti immigration laws, increased deportations, or fascist cops.

“Never again is now”, I say, referring of course to an oppressed people’s attempts at removing their oppressors, which is basically the same as genocide.

The October 7 assailants did kill about 1,000 Jewish civilians. The buffoons depicted just can't fathom that they weren't killed for their ethnicity, it wasn't at a fascist regime's orders, and it wasn't at an industrial scale. To them it's Jews killed = Holocaust.

Where have you heard 1000 civilians?

[-] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago

I think you are vastly underestimating how many Jewish civilians were killed by the IDF, not that it particularly matters.

And overestimating the number of “civilians”

It is possible to recognise that the Al-Aqsa-Flood was an act of terrorism and also that terrorism is a means available to an oppressed people to fight its oppressors. These means can (and should) be viewed critically, but comparing this act of terrorism to the holocaust is obviously ridiculous.
