It keeps happening in history: people using horror suffered in the past to give cover to their own crimes. Attacking others in the name of their own holy dead.
Sharing stories or pictures of a previous genocide to make others overlook a current genocide. Accusing others of being enemies to their religion and ethnicity when voices raise in protest.
Over a hundred times in the world, in the last few thousand years. It’s just particularly galling to me to see this, now, in my name.
Every society needs a cry like that, but only in a very few do they come out with the complete, unvarnished version, which is “Remember-The-Atrocity-Committed-Against-Us-Last-Time-That-Will-Excuse-The-Atrocity-That-We’re-About-To-Commit-Today! And So On! Hurrah!

Maybe don't do a fucking Holocaust if you don't want to be criticized for doing a Holocaust.
What doesn't "anger" Israel nowadays? They're going rampant killing people left and right. Literally fucking Nazis they are. What a shame, man.
Lol even the Nobel peace prize winner angers them.
They're not "literal" Nazis...
They're ISIS.
I don't know, man, they are doing the same shit that the Nazis did to them. It is a shame, they should be the ones who call for peace, not genocide innocent people.
They're not a "literal" Islamic state...
They're Suetekh.
They have more in common with Nazis with their Lebensraum settler colonialism and apartheid system full of their riff on concentration camps.
But, fun fact: Western interests, including Israel, sure do seem to conveniently benefit from Daesh attacks on those aligned with Palestine - at opportune moments. I'm just saying.
What's worse, committing genocide, or somebody correctly pointing out you're committing genocide???1? really makes you think
Who gives a shit if they're mad? Genocidal maniacs don't matter.
If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck…
What are they going to do? Serve the Japanese desserts in shoes again?
At first I thought the comparison was sacrificing relevancy for Japan-centricity but now that I think about it what Israel is doing is exactly that: (genocidal levels of) terror bombing.
