But .ml was telling us that Trump would stop the genocide not supercharge it. How can this be? /s

Tbd, it is one way to stop a genocide. Literally the worst one, but it would stop.

Wasn’t it literally plan A for the Nazis?

[–] jewbacca117@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago (6 children)

The Nazis had a few ideas for the "Final Solution" of the Jews. The end goal being get them out of the Reich. They tried to send them to Palestine (then under British control) which is a big part of why were stuck with Israel and its fuckery today. Seriously, there was some cooperation between the Jewish militant groups in Palestine and the Nazis. It is seriously a fucked up situation. But, forcing the Jews out of the country didn't work very well so the Nazis started rounding up and killing them.

Guess who was in a Jewish militant group in British-occupied Palestine?

Netanyahu's parents. They changed their name from something Polish to the much more semitic Netanyahu and emigrated in Palestine in the 1920s with the express idea of creating a Jewish state.

Netanyahu and his family did not suffer from the Holocaust, they benefited from it.

Aside from smaller efforts to deport Jewish people to a bunch of different countries, they also came up with what is basically the first 'Final Solution' - one of deportation, not extermination: The Madagascar Plan.

They were going to round up and sent all the Jewish people to Madagascar. But well, they failed to defeat the British and when they realized that an invasion of GB was pretty much impossible, they kind of gave up on it.

A lot of people associate Nazis with extermination camps (which, well obviously it's true), but extermination was never Plan A for Nazis. They never cared if Jewish people died, but initially they just wanted to get rid of undesirables/Jewish people, not necessarily kill them all. The industrialized genocide came much later, more out of desperation and a need for efficiency than anything else.

This just to say that bullshit arguments like "he's not a fascist/Nazi because he's not gassing people" are exactly that: bullshit arguments. Nazis were Nazis long before the first extermination camp was built.

No, fucking stop. Ethnic cleansing is genocide. Period.

Or was the Naqba not genocidal?

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I think he's implying that once you complete your genocide it kind of comes to a natural end. It's the worst way to end genocide because you killed everyone.

And there we go, exactly as expected because trump literally said he would do this.

To all those "genocide Joe" assholes who thought that somehow not getting Harris elected would be a good thing: you've just murdered millions.

I think this is a sensible plan. Next after Gaza, Ukrainians should be resettled in Poland, and then Americans in Europe.
