As I repeatedly said: It doesn’t have to be “a holocaust” nor a genocide to despise it. Please just read what I pointed out in this posts’s comment section .

I never said an organized genocide with more than six million victims can’t happen again. But it didn’t so far and won’t happen in the current Gaza-massacre. I explained why you really shouldn’t compare the holocaust and Gaza and I don’t see the need to explain it again. Also I won’t discuss anything if you start personally attacking me.

Of course just because of me, huh? I had a great constructive debate with other people in this thread and I won’t discuss anything with you if you start to personally attack me.

juxtaposed

You may juxtapose it for more or less scientific reasons but as I explained in this thread, you don’t juxtapose it by comparing the holocaust and Gaza in a political debate. I said nothing about we shouldn’t document/prevent massacres or stuff. The current one isn’t under the same ideology as holocaust and doesn’t have to, to despise it.

Wow, a constructive debate about Middle East among leftist. :)

As a German memer, I would have to reply with: Bruder, das ist ja unnormal rar! But I don’t think that’s appropriate for this topic.

I think we can agree that it doesn’t have to be “a” holocaust to be awful and that comparsion to the holocaust doesn’t help.

Though I don’t understand how you both argue that “[comparsion] gives a special voice to victims of such crimes everywhere” and “[comparsion] also trivialises the impact of these current events”. Or don’t you think it “gives a special voice” anymore and changed your opinion since posting that comment?

Could be a genocide. Isn’t yet classified as such, might never be.

E: Also I don’t think it’s necessary to declare it a genocide. At least not for debates among leftist. It’s an obvious mass slaughter and we don’t have act like lawyers and declare it a genocide to despise it.

if anything the Holocaust and its worldwide condemnation gives a special voice to victims of such crimes everywhere

See? And that’s trivialising it. There is not a single case of a genocide as organized, precisely planned and carried out against so many victims. The holocaust is single event in history of mankind. If you compare any other massacre to it, you start trivialising it. Every comparsion of a massacre and the holocaust is trivialising the holocaust more and more. One could say (and I do): If the holocaust and other massacres have been compared often enough, holocaust will be just another massacre and it won’t be noticed if it happens again.

Stop it. Stop comparing the Shoa and the current massacre in Gaza. No massacre is like the holocaust, there are no holocausts. Especially from my German perspective, comparing the Shoa and another massacre is to trivialise the mass slaughter on six million jews.
