        It’s pro Palestine because every decent human being feels empathy with victims of genocide. Calling anything but the Holocaust genocide relatives it and is therefore anti Semitic.

        Source: I live in Germany and here are people who say that unironically.

          I’m sorry but then you have to explain to these people that the word genocide is not synonymous with the Holocaust, and our laws (because that is no doubt where they snatched up the term “relativise”) work accordingly. With my heartfelt empathy, I’m sure it feels like banging your head against a wall sometimes.

              I’ve tried to explain that

              Sorry for the nitpicking, but no: you did explain it. Of course whoever it was meant for will resist but they might get around to it later, or some onlooker might have gotten a lightbulb moment. It’s the best we can do. 🤗

        Let’s play “Who said it, Hitler or beloved children’s YouTuber Ms. Rachel?”

        Children should never experience the horrors of war - nor be killed, injured or taken hostage. These are grave violations of children’s rights.

        Children have the right to clean water, food, medical care, a safe place to live and education. We need to get aide to children and their families. We need the hostages home safe. The violence has to end. Children have rights.

        We should be ashamed of how children around the world are suffering when we could wrap each and everyone up in love.

        I bet you couldn’t even tell who said this radical, violent rhetoric. (Context)
