Encouraging Jews to leave "voluntarily" was Hitler's first step, too. Then when most people don't want to leave their homes, you justify your escalation by saying you gave them a chance.

Yeah and back then it was Zionists who collaborated with him to populate Palestine with 60,000 German Jews.

Saying the quiet part out loud again. Forced relocation through either terror or expatriation is Ethnic Cleansing. Ethnic Cleansing may fall under the Genocide Convention.

WTF?

"We won't do genocide, but what about 90% genocide?"

Is it really genocide if there's at least a few left?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Of course it is. There are still Armenians, German Jewish people, Rwandan Tutsis, Rohingya, and no one disputes that they were genocided.

We're all being ironic, I think. In reality, if your goal is to make an ethnic group smaller so you don't have to deal with them as much, that's genocide, or at least ethnic cleansing. No specific number is required.

Also, FYI, Jews across continental Europe had a bad time. Anywhere the Nazis went genocide followed, so you don't really need to specify German.

I know it's dark humor, and I kind of hate myself for even thinking this. But now I'm seeing a far side style comic with a group of soldiers standing around, arguing over not wanting to kill the last Palestinian, because that's what makes it genocide.

Okay hear me out, what if, after you make sure each person isn’t hamas, you tattoo their arm, and…

[–] [email protected] 34 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yes and maybe make it trackable, like a number or a barcode, just to make sure

I believe IBM could help with this.

Maybe it could be a yellow-colored religious symbol, worn as a mandatory patch by Palestinians on a highly visible place on their clothes.

So he wants to kill 90% of the populace in a geographical region.

How does anyone deny this is genocide?

[–] [email protected] 30 points 7 months ago

I think their goal is to displace 90% into Egypt and kill the rest. Still genocide.

Yet again,

But remember, not a genocide.

What the fuck. Fucking sickos.

Goebbels really has some crazy ideas there

[–] [email protected] 16 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

It looks like Zionists were taking notes during the Holocaust

“What we do not understand is that while there were protests against Germany’s defensive action in this field, there was, on the other hand, no willingness to absorb the excess Jewish population emigrating from Germany.”

• Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Minister of propaganda.

Well, it's always nice when Israeli ministers by their own public words provide evidence of culpability for the case against Israel that just started in the International Court of Justice.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 7 months ago

I wonder if he literally meant 100, not 100,000.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago

All of them there just to do menial labor for Israelis that move in and elsewhere. Just enough for housekeepers and their families.
