    Hate Israel all you want, rightfully so, but the comparison with Nazi Germany is historically inaccurate and politically wrong. Israel is a democracy and not an authoritarian dictatorship. Israel has a problem with right-wing politician and general racism, but so does every western country. The ongoing genocide is a horrible tragedy, but it’s neither Auschwitz nor Warschau. All this comparison does is diminishing actual fascism, Nazism and the Holocaust. And the conparison takes the credibility of everyone doing it.

          Palestinian’s are people. Israel exerts extensive control over there lives and yet does not allow them to vote. Additionally, as part of the israeli basic law only jewish israeli’s are allowed to self determine.

            Arabs in Israel are equal by law. The have representatives in the parliament. I’m not trying to deny that Israel is heavily racist in politics and societal, but so is every other country and every other democracy and it doesn’t make Israel not a democracy. Even though it’s democracy is under attack by right wing Likud, but that’s also true for literally every European country.

              Extremely ignorant take.

              The apartheid that people talk about is for Palestinians living under Israeli military rule in the west bank.
              Israel’s government has been extremely right-wing for the last few decades it’s existed for.
