    There is no deflection, I am not disputing your claim I am asking about your worldview to see how and why you apply it in the way that you do. Ive already accepted the premise that Isreal is 100x worse than Nazi Germany I’m interested in why and how that differs to Canada. I assume by you posting such an extreme claim you wanted to have the conversation.

    Off the bad your comparison between isreal and Germany is a lie. German civilians were in fact aware of the holocaust and complict in supporting the regime. Canadians were also aware of what was happening to natives and supported those policies and that political rhetoric.

    So I can only assume that you either feel the same way about yourself or there is something different that you are evaluating. It seems to be time between the event and now. I dont think time between the event is meaningful given how short of a timeframe its been and how little remediation has been shown.

    So I assume you think once isreal Genocides 95% of Palestinians and then expands to the ‘greater isreal’. Some time passes and they do some land acknowledgements then you would you change your tune?

      No, my tune wouldn’t change.

      The Germans had a famous saying post-ww2. “We didn’t now about it”. Can’t say the same about Israelis.

      And what was happening to the indigenous people in Canada? What policies? I’m curious to know what claims you’re making because so far you’ve been very general.

      I hope you’ll forgive my tone because trying to compare history in a certain framing and anachronistically to today is what Israelis use to justify their continued colonization and genocide.
