Funny. I don't remember Poland firing ballistic missiles into Germany before the invasion.
But this is definitely the same thing as Germany invading Poland /s
I don't think anyone is making the point that it's literally the exact same thing.
But what we're witnessing is that Israel can bomb a civilian population to rubble for months and months, and all the intensional community can stutter out is that they "have a right to defend themselves".
Now they are bombing a foreign capital and sending in ground troops to their neighbouring country to fight off a militia that they themselves are responsible for creating by invading in the past, and we know exactly what the chorus will be. Right to defend themselves.
We will see our Lebanese friends and their families murdered, all for Israel's right to defend themselves.
In Germany, the line was that they would stop at Poland. People make up different excuses for different atrocities.
I think a lot of people are rightfully fucking tired of excuses, and that's the point. Not that it's literally the same thing.
That's literally the entire post. Gaslight harder
