Interesting that the scale is less than what Israel has done to Palestine since Oct 7th alone, yet it's the worst thing since the Nazis? 🤔

To be... fair??? to Israel what they're doing is a more "classical" genocidal campaign. They aren't kidnapping Palestinians and torturing them en masse (they certainly are doing it, but not en masse). That's what distinguishes them from the Nazis' Holocaust for example.
