| Little slip of the mask here where we seamlessly transition from the perspective of an American working for an American tech company to someone living in a country neighbouring Palestine. |

| ▲ | laimewhisps an hour ago | parent [-] | | I don't think the tens of thousands of innocent people, including a huge number of children, were "privileged". Same with the hundreds of thousands removed from their home during the Nakba ethnic cleansing. |

| Israel is not the US and Palestinian civilians are not a "foreign adversary". > a neighbor sending rockets my way, would make me sick to my stomach Israel has been murdering Palestinians since Nakba. They literally eliminated whole cities in Gaza. I think that makes most people in the world sick to their stomach. |

| He didn't work for Israel, unless he failed to mention that this was not a USA job. |

| > TIL an intelligence agency spying on a foreign adversary is human rights abuse. It is when it's an intelligence agency for a country that's actively committing genocide. Answer a question for me: is the lesson you took from the Holocaust something like "if there are going to be holocausts anyway, I want to be the one committing them"? |

| ▲ | klipt 35 minutes ago | parent | next [-] | | What is the obsession with equating the Holocaust with a war whose death toll is roughly 1/100th of the Holocaust (and that only if you include combatant deaths, which the Holocaust numbers do not?) | |
| ▲ | tessierashpool an hour ago | parent | prev [-] | | Judaism != Israel this conflation is extremely unhelpful | | |
| ▲ | laimewhisps an hour ago | parent [-] | | I don't see them conflating Zionism and Judaism. 100% of Zionists will reference the Holocaust as one of the justifications for committing genocide against the Palestinians. I think the parent is pointing that out. | | |
| ▲ | tessierashpool 25 minutes ago | parent [-] | | I disagree, but you could be right. however, if so, then they should have pointed out this distinction themselves. also, there was conflict between Jewish Palestinians and Muslim Palestinians long before the Holocaust. Zionists were trying to take over in the late days of the Ottoman Empire. |
