I rlly fail to understand how thousands of people who had to go through the horrors of the Holocaust can support this. Like... Where's the empathy? Do they not feel anything? (by "they", I mean the Israeli government and its enablers)
My casual take on this is that it isn't the same people. Those that lived through and survived the holocaust generally don't bay for blood when interviewed like the Israeli government spokespeople or Right Wing US commentators.
To me, they seem pretty fed up and saddened by what is happening but don't exactly have the energy to stand up against it. There's a sadness in the way they speak about what is happening.
Compare that with IDF / Israeli spokespeople or Right Wing US religious opinion merchants on the news. They practically speak of Palestinians as dirt and vermin. They do not give a shit because they know nobody is going to stop them.
The upsetting thing is that the latter group makes the appearance of speaking on behalf of the victims of the holocaust.
Sure if you ignore all the horrors they inflicted on Palestinians in the period after WW2.
Today’s Zionists are doing the same shit they did right after the Holocaust. They were out for blood than, and they taught the current crop to be the same.
There have been many Holocaust survivors critical of the state of Israel too.
One-third of Israeli Holocaust survivors live in poverty as well.
