You know, you can find the unjust bombardment of the Gaza Strip (and now also the West Bank unfortunately) wrong, and not compare it to the Holocaust at the same time?

Putting together the bombing, indiscriminate killing of civilians near the aid centers, and blocking aid convoys to restrict calories available in the "humanitarian" areas, paints a pretty good picture. The only thing they haven't copied from Nazi Germany yet is camps with ovens.

Per the IHRA definition of antisemitism, observing similarities between the actions of Israel and the Nazis is antisemitic:

Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.

This is the preposterous interpretation adopted by the United States, other countries, and many institutions. The extremist Zionists who continue illegally expanding their land grab in the West Bank during their genocide in Gaza have successfully made legitimate political discourse “antisemitic”.

Yeah the Israeli government pushed hard for that nonsense IHRA definition.
