An Israeli attack on Beit Lahiya, a town in northern Gaza, killed at least 73 Palestinians on Saturday evening, according to the enclave’s government media office.
More than 100 others were wounded and several people missing.
Israeli air strikes targeted a multi-floor building and damaged a number of nearby houses, medics in the Gaza Strip reported.
The government media office said that Israeli forces had bombed overcrowded residential areas in Beit Lahiya, adding that women and children were amongst the casualties.
I’ve lost faith at this point.
Canada’s Prime Minister just posted something about the October 7th incident like it’s the most horrible thing to happen in the Middle East, when there’s a literal Holocaust happening in all of Palestine.
It’s fucking tone deaf.
But he’s got the anti defamation league and B’nai B’rith breathing down his neck at the same time. So it doesn’t matter what we do or say or how much we write to them or protest, they still won’t fucking listen.
And somehow, the conservatives are high in the polls for the next election somehow.
It make zero sense.
Damn, Canadian politics sounds pretty bad too right now. Seems like Fascism is rising everywhere in the Western countries

Every action helps, the more public pressure the better

It makes a bit more sense when you remember countries like Canada, the UK and Germany are on America’s leash.
Which is in turn on Netanyahu’s leash.
WTF do you want us Germans to do? Read the Einstein-Ardent letter from 1948 to the New York Times, good old Albert hit the nail on the head and I fully agree with him.
I don’t think its a good idea to compare it to the holocaust.
Genocide takes many different forms. Its still a genocide even if the people aren’t being exterminated by toxic gas and their remains burned in ovens.
Gaza is still a concentration camp even if they’re not wearing prison clothes and forced to work for the Israeli State.
Genocides take many different forms, but if you call this a Holocaust then you’re just falling into a Hasbara trap that’s very easy to prove you wrong.
Call it a genocide, not a Holocaust.
They’ve been systematically eliminating Gazans at this point. Concentrating them in camps and them bombing the camps. Setting fire to them with incendiary bombs. They’ve had snipers shoot children. They’ve been systematically and indiscriminately killing everyone. They’ve almost wiped out the entire population of Gaza.
What makes that different from a Holocaust?
According to History.com:
What’s happening right now is no different from that. Anyone that’s Arab in the region has faced state-sponsered persecution and mass murder. Israel is burning everything down from Gaza to the West Bank to Lebanon and it’ll keep going beyond those borders into Syria and even Iraq and Saudi Arabia.
That’s their “final solution”. It’s to kill everyone in those region or get rid of them one way or another. They’re experimenting how far they can push the limits of their international support.
If you think I’m wrong, I’d like to hear your arguments.
What you’re describing is a genocide. Its a genocide that’s very different from the holocaust.
I’m asking you to explain to me what is so different from what is happening in Gaza to a Holocaust.
As I said above, they’re not wearing the same clothing made of black and white stripes. They’re not doing slave labor. They’re not being gassed with the same chemicals. They’re not being burned in ovens.
Its a genocide with different mechanisms of extermination. The 2013 Gaza Genocide is very different from the Rwandan Genocide, just as the 2013 Gaza Genocide is very different from the Holocaust.
It’s not a concentration camp, it’s a hostile foreign territory that carries on launching hundreds of rockets into Israel.
Gaza has a right to defend itself
