You’re right - he’s only a Hitler apologist and holocaust denier when it suits him. He’s not consistent about it.

He’ll tell this story to demonize current-day Palestinians and justify the violence done daily to them. He doesn’t just “advocate” for violence, he personally directs it, and he tells stories like this to make of worse.

He tells the other stories you mentioned to capitalize Jewish victimhood, silence critics, and distract from Israel’s crimes against the Palestinians, which have nothing to do with any of this.

> These are some examples of what Holocaust denial and revisionism typically sound like.

Not really. Both quotes from Abbas are very tame. They make him about as much a holocaust denier as Bibi is.

At any rate, they don’t make him or the Palestinian people any less of a partner for peace.

And even mentioning Abbas’ views on the holocaust, in the context of the subjugation, persecution and extermination of his own people for over a decade, is so incredibly cynical and cruel and pathetic, it should tell you everything you need to know about Israel’s position in the conflict.

When there was still a left wing in Israel, the left wing governments built more settlements than the right wing ones.

This is true.

But denying Palestinians of any agency or fault is wrong. They made mistakes too. And if it’s wrong for Netanyahu to support Hamas, isn’t it just as wrong for any Palestinian to support them too?

And unrelated to that, Benjamin Netanyahu is about as truthful a man as Donald Trump is.

I wonder if there’s room for any actual discussion here. This topic is damned from the first upvote.

Curious what people’s thoughts are about a non-peaceful solution.

For example, do you think that other countries should send their militaries over to help one of the sides win?

This is the biggest lie of all.

Israeli Jews constantly dream about eliminating the Palestinian people. We talk about it openly and without shame.

We discuss pros and cons in terms of security, legality, world public opinion, etc. These are the only considerations. We don’t see any humanity there. We just need their land.

That said, it’s true that some Palestinians have dreams of defending themselves from us.

I believe they need all the help they can get.

It’s taking the time to post a mean reply that shows your lack of compassion.

But you can really say that “disagreement is treason” means the same thing in fascism and in “the left”? Are you saying, for e.g., that unions and universities execute dissenters as a matter of course? “Fear of difference” under fascism means that differences you can’t control put your life at permanent risk. In the context of tribalism, it means being embarrassed.

So there’s really no comparison between a conservative feeling left out under liberalism to a minority feeling at risk under fascism.

Also, pretty sure it was a small indie team rather than a “big developer”

Obviously, it’s the same stupidity that “allowed” the 7th of October attacks to happen. These people are way too scared and hateful of Palestinians to conspire with them like this. They allowed it to happen through sheer incompetence. They just let their guard down, quite literally.

If they could actually cooperate well enough to work together on something like the 7th of October of attacks, which were under active planning for at least two years and involved thousands of highly trained men, don’t you think they’d be able to cooperate on something positive too?

Obviously the leaders of both our countries want what’s best for all of us and always tell us the truth, right?

One hopes, anyway. That’s the best chance we have to remove the Nazis currently in power here.

Also, just wondering, wouldn't it better to show the YouTube channel name, rather than just "youtube.com"?
