    Jesus fucking christ, do you really need to have what he meant spelled out to you in fucking crayon???

    He means lets stop allowing them to hide behind 6 million dead people to deflect, or worse, justify, what they are doing today.

      Yes, I understand that. Which is why it would be a mistake to forget it.

      It’s not coincidental that the Holocaust is our most useful case study in understanding and explaining Israel’s crimes against Palestinians. If you want to oppose genocide, it is a mistake to try to do so by “forgetting” about a genocide.

      Remembering previous genocides is an important part of preventing/halting genocides.
