    Maybe this is a topic that should make us emotional and I even feel your first comment but I’m coming from a different perspective. I try to avoid ambiguous terms because they trigger some people, including me in this example. People say Israel isn’t a white settler colonial state to avoid saying how bad it is. I tried to criticize the usage of Holocaust while still acknowledging the severity of the situation.

      164000 (give or take, we can’t know the exact numbers) casualties with something like 70000 fatalities since 1947 in the Israel-Palestine war.

      Let’s say that all of these numbers are directly from Israel and that they are all lies. Let’s say that they are, actually, triple - fuck it let’s make it quadruple the amount.

      That’s 656000 casualties and 280000 people dead over a 76 year period. The Holocaust was 5 years with 6 million people dead. That’s 42 million (Edit, I’m kinda fucking dumb) people dead. Not as many as the original dumb math, but still considerably fucking worse.

      Them comparing what’s happened in Palestine over the past 76 years to what the Nazis did during the Holocaust is not only wildly disingenuous, it shows they have no real concept of just how fucking bad the Holocaust actually was. It is only indicative of their ignorance, they aren’t somehow communicating more clearly despite them having convinced themselves otherwise.

      What’s happening in Gaza and Palestine is bad. Awful even, a horrible blemish on humanity until our species dies. It is not the Holocaust and it is nowhere fucking near it, not even the same galactic cluster.

      Edit: I wrote this to the person you’re responding to but they’re genuinely dumb so I’m posting it under your comment. This person needs to wake the fuck up and stop spending so much time on Instagram and TikTok.

      Edit2: I fixed the dumb bad brain math. It is done.

        Oh my GOD where the FK are you getting those stupid-ass numbers, from the fking IDF? They’ve literally depopulated a nation that used to have literally MILLIONS OF PEOPLE down to a couple hundred thousand, and they’re trying to fking finish the job. It’s fking genocide and your blasé fking trash attitude towards it means YOU’RE FKING TRASH

          Genocide ≠ Holocaust, you are an idiot.

          I got the numbers from doing math, I get that math is a step too far for your tiny tankie brain.

          They did not “depopulate” the nation you fucking donkey, they forced the population of Gaza to move to Rafah.

          Go ahead and let me know when they start gassing Rafah. Then we’ll be approaching what happened in the Holocaust.

            Math? You did math to get those numbers? I can get numbers from doing math too, see? 2^16 = 65536. Do those numbers mean anything to this situation? Of course not because they’re pulled out of thin bloody air. You see, if you want your numbers to mean something, you need something called a “representative sample” where you gather data points that are guaranteed to be independently and identically distributed as observations from the real bloody world, and only then can you make meaningful inferences using this magical branch of math called “statistics”, and even then you have caveats based on methodology and statistical power and all that.

            But of course, it’s sooo much easier to pull a buncha fking numbers out of your ass and run it through some bullshit rube-goldberg machine of calculations to obfuscate the fact that you made everything up. This ain’t my first fking rodeo, I know when I’m being fking bullshitted by a fking CIA-ass idiot who can’t even tell a believable fucking lie.

                Too dumb to actually reason about anything, this guy resorts to vocabulary bullshit once again and uses it as a substitute for critical thinking
