  • Two points. You are incorrectly using the term nazi to mean evil. That is not what the word means. What would you call evil before the 1900s? I will not disagree that Israel is in someways evil, but nazi is not the word used in English for evil, as you are using it.

    Secondly, I grew up and lived in Gaza. It is not a concentration camp, or an extermination center. It is a warzone. It is groups of people fighting over their territory.

    We probably roughly agree on what facistm is, and that both the Nazis and Israel are fascist. However, the word for a fascist authority is not nazi. It is fascist authority. Do you understand that yet? It is like calling all apples granny smith, and then getting aggressive when someone tells you to call them apples, and that some apples are not granny smith apples, despite all apples having some similar properties to granny smith apples.


  • Yes, if you discuss complex things with the depth of understanding of a six year old, call everything evil a Nazi, and don’t understand that the world is not made up of pure , good people and Nazis, I bet you get to fill out a lot of imaginary bingo cards , since those get to work by your made up rules. The real world does not.


  • You do know that people being evil or fascist predated the Nazis, often has different motivationions than the Nazis, and are sometimes done by people who have huge disagreements with Nazis right? Many of them predate the nazis, are unaffiliated with them, and were persucuted by them. Your argument is literally that everyone bad is a Nazi. Re read your response if you think I am not representing you fairly, because that is exactly what you say. By no means am I giving Israel or anyone else a pass for being evil. I am also not giving nazis a free las for being evil. I think to understand why Israel is evil, what exactly are doing, and how the world should deal with them, you need to understand some very basic things they are not.

    They are not dragons, despite them killing others in order to enrich themselves. They are not UFOs, despite flying around in secret missions and kidnapping people. They are not Nazis, despite being fascist and trying to rid their land of non jews. Just because nazis are bad, and Israel is bad, does not mean they are the same thing. People act evil for many different reasons, some of which are similar to each other. Israel is not as similar to nazis as your over simplified troll logic would like them to be.




  • No. Nazi means national German socialism workers party, which was a german political party that did some notable things, like starting WW2, the Holocaust. You may want to look them up, the history is interesting.

    Two things being similar does not mean they are the same thing. Is every end stage cancer pancreatic cancer to you? Is every war just the great war to you ( I know you have not heard of WW2 yet).

    If you cannot understand that nazi actually is a word with meaning, and not just something you say when you think a group is authoritarian or evil, than you have absolutely no room in you brain for the slightest glimmer of nuance or basic comprehension of anything.







  • Yes, exactly. It’s worth noting though, that many good people are brought into these regimes, and are folded into the hate by their leaders, and the hate they receive from the extremists that oppose them. Not only do terrorists and gangs harm those they seek to harm, but they also grow and root their evil into the normal and healthy communities they base themselves in. Both Hamas and Israel are poisoning their own people more than those they directly kill.



  • I didn’t say you were the sole problem. The problem is rich people, including you, not realizing that ( even if you only care about yourself, as you seem to), you should be helping others.

    Good job not being one of the richest 8 people in the world. Yes, those people are not nice, and don’t want to help you. Now go help your neighbors and make friends with them. You also seem to have no scale on the problems that actual poverty causes, or how much rich people spend on their useless luxuries, and how much good that could do in the world.

    You could go on about how disconnected you feel from everyone, and how it’s all those 8 evil people’s fault, and then try to fill that void with consumerism and giving them more money. Or you could cut you luxury in half, and donate it to a good cause. If you are not going to appreciate American wealth, then let someone else eat your scraps.

    But no, what you really want is for it to all be someone else’s fault, and to do nothing about it. Your weekly paycheck is a poor person’s yearly wage, and that ignores slavery and the many other atrocities of this world. Yes, wealthy people who hoard their power for themselves are a problem. Yes, having even more wealth is even more of a problem, but if you are not going to help people below you up, then at least be aware that you issues are as laughable to us as billionaires issues are to you.


  • If you are not aware, the Gaza strip is an active warzone between terrorists on Israeli and Palestinian side, with my native people caught in the middle.

    Yes people suck, but even a land with some rude people and casual racism can be held up as an example of people trying to work together.

    Based on your other comments, it’s clear that your view of the world is based on the path you have walked so far, and the narrow stretch of ground you have tread on. Maybe your rich overlords hid the existence of the rest of the world from you, but some of us have been living there.

    Fortunately, you have many more steps left to walk, and time to consider the ground your neighbors have been walking on as well. Go, walk with empathy, watch the world and judge it with kindness, and build your heart with room for others in it.
