    This isn’t a fair comparison.

    That said, it’s been horrifying to realize that the current leadership of Israel appears to have learned only one lesson from the Holocaust: This time, we get to be the Nazis.

    The horror of the german concentration camps was the systematic industrialized killing of people. When critizising israel you can call out the apartheid structures, the attacks on civilians or the settlements outside of israel. However the holocaust being unparalleled in history isn’t just a phrase and using quick comparisons for humor isn’t funny but downplaying one of humanities darkest moments.

      Im not sure unparalled is accurate, if what Dan Carlins Hardcore history series Wrath of the Khans said about the mongol empire is accurate anyways.
