“So Israel held a bunch of Palestinians in concentration camps without charge just for being Palestinian, and then they not only starved and tortured them but actually made them wear a Star of David on their prison garments. But remember kids, it’s evil and wrong to compare Israel to Nazi Germany — no matter how cartoonishly blatant they make the similarities. … According to an Israeli media report, last May IDF troops strapped explosives to the neck of an 80 year-old Palestinian man in Gaza and used him as a human shield for hours. They then shot and killed him and his wife. When the Gaza holocaust first started I used to read headlines like this and go ‘Holy shit that must be an exaggeration’, and then I’d read up on it and go ‘Fuck, nope, that’s exactly what happened!’ Now I read them and sigh and just sort of wilt inside.” (02/17/25)
