The ministry did not change their killed count. They only changed the amount of bodies that were identified.
Say 6 million people got thrown into an oven during the Holocaust. Now there’s not just unidentified bodies, there’s no bodies at all. Does this mean those people were not killed and the Holocaust did not happen?
It’s always rubbed me the wrong way. Especially since LGBT populations never stopped being a target and the good guys hated them as much as the nazis did.
The good guys didn’t care much about the Jewish people either. They shipped the survivors off to Israel because they didn’t want to deal with them at home.
And the English castrated a gay man they wouldn’t have won the war without…
The harassment and shame lead him to kill himself, and it took 60 years for the Brits to admit they didn’t handle it well…
Alan Turing, a British code-breaker during World War II who was later subjected to chemical castration for homosexual activity, has received a royal pardon nearly 60 years after he committed suicide.
Turing was best known for developing the Bombe, a code-breaking machine that deciphered messages encoded by German machines. His work is considered by many to have saved thousands of lives and helped change the course of the war.
So again, why is getting their own country exactly where they wanted not worse than what literally every other group who was targeted by the nazis got after WW2?
The reason them being gifted a country that they wanted is a bad thing because of the effect it’s had on the native population in the area.
There’s an argument that people make that Jews were indigenous to the area. That is probably true, but so are the Palestinian people. Depending on how you look at it, the ancestors of the Palestinians may have actually pre-dated those of the Jewish people in the area. However, what’s even more relevant is that the Jewish people who returned to create the modern state of Israel had not lived in the area for over 1000 years.
The Zionist movement was very active for quite a while before WW2. WW2 was just the moment they benefited from maximum fearmongering and were able to capitalize on the “we need a Nazi ethnostate to defend ourselves” propaganda.
Zionism was very conveniently timed tool for the Brits to get rid of many Jews left after WW2. If all the gays were trying to flee to an African nation the Brits would had likely accomodated too.
Gaza health ministry changed how they classify unidentified vs identified bodies.
But my point was that NYT didn’t do what the onion article title says they did.
I am not trying to defend NYT in their ignorance when writing their title, I just wanted to know how the onion title was related?
The killed count did not change. Just the amount of fully identified kills.
New York Times is intentionally writing misleading headlines and counting in strange ways to misrepresent the actual amount of Palestinians killed by israel.

What does this prove?
This picture doesn’t prove the onion was correct.
Besides the ones who changed their way of count was Gaza health ministry

~12 million were killed in the Holocaust…
6 million for being Jewish, but for some reason there’s always been a big push that only the Jewish victims matter

…
Did Black people get given a country?
LGBT people?
Roma?
The actual communists?
Like, your acting like them not only being gifted a country, but one that’s their “holy land” is a bad thing.
Please explain for the class why that’s a negative for them.
And why are you acting like they were forced to move to Israel?
There’s just a lot wrong in your comment for it only being two sentences
The Nazis wanted to settle Jews in Madagascar. The British did the same, only in Palestine.

I don’t disagree.

The order here is different.
Zionists invaded Palestine before Hitler. In fact Zionists tried to work with Hitler to take over Palestine.
The Zionist movement was very active for quite a while before WW2. WW2 was just the moment they benefited from maximum fearmongering and were able to capitalize on the “we need a Nazi ethnostate to defend ourselves” propaganda.

There were no “good guys”, there were bad guys against worse guys.
The Allies were happy to support the nazi/fascists as a counter to “communism” until Hitler got too greedy
