    Oooops! Seriously, why apologize if you can draw robust comparisons that withstand fair scrutiny?

      Honestly, it’s a disservice to both. They’re both individually horrible and deserve to be recognized as such.

    The holocaust cannot be a singular event untouchable by comparison. If this was the case, we would never be able to apply “Never Again”.

    They just did the same thing to Masha Gessen who expertly drew comparisons to the ghettos of wwII.

    Don’t you understand? The Holocaust is uniquely horrible because it killed Europeans.

    When American countries did the exact same thing to the indigenous population, no one cared, and now that Israel is doing it to an indigenous population history is repeating itself. If we refuse to learn from history Gaza will cease to exist. Don’t ever apologize.

    The Holocaust targeted many ethnicities: Jews, Poles, Russians, Romani…

    Israel’s actions target one.
