"If one of the things the #genocideInGaza has done is unmask the state of #Israel, exposing it for what it always was, it has also unmasked the liberal establishment in Western countries. [...] They have aided and abetted the slaughter, arming and excusing the state of Israel at every turn, and reserving their ire for anyone – the young especially – who has dared to dissent."

Do the lessons of the Holocaust apply to Israel and “skinny Palestinians”?

I was going to stop posting videos from this woman after doing that whole Shit Sarah Hurwitz Says thread¹, but then I was sent this one, and it illustrates a particular weaselly logical fallacy that needs to be called out.

If, as you say, people have put Israel in a "moral bucket" with the Klan and Nazis, then try to equate that wearing an "I ❤️ Israel" with sporting a Black Lives Matter shirt, you've done something incredibly insidious.

You've subtly shifted yourself from perpetrator to victim, IN YOUR OWN ARGUMENT.

By your own assessment, your shirt is the equivalent of sporting a hakenkreuz or a pointy hood, not signifying allyship with the targets of said groups.

This is not an error in thinking.
It's deliberate.

You have probably already seen it, But if not, this is worth a watch.

It's the quiet part being screamed:

The problem isn't that Israel is committing genocide.

The problem is that the lesson people took away from Holocaust education, is that genocide is bad.
