I've been active in the Palestine-solidarity-movement for some time now, and I've learned that you can never, never make a comparison between the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians and their subsequent submission to apartheid conditions on the one hand, and the nazi's on the other hand because immediatly you're branded as an anti-semite.
There's some merit to that argument, because the Holocaust actually was the worst thing humanity ever did: the industrial destruction of entire races is unmatched in cruelty.
But seeing how everyone is comparing Putin, and before that: vaccine mandates, to the nazi's in much more stupid ways then I've ever seen in the Palestine solidarity movement, without their being any sort of pushback in the same fashion as against pro-Palestinian statements really shows a double standard.
I can understand people saying "it's not the same as the Holocaust", but when the refuse to acknowledge the similarities between apartheid South Africa and Israel that's when I know they're only using that as a thought terminating cliché
Also it's totally valid to ask why a post holocaust Jewish state is actively creating ghettos and implementing race laws. Those are not "the Holocaust" proper, but all the policies that led up to it.
