My fucking brain is so fried.

Both my parents were in World War II. They fought against fascism. I was brought up to feel for what happened to the Jews during that war. Now all I see is that they seem to be being worse than the actual Nazis.

What Israel is doing is very much Nazi like. But saying such will get you banned on Mastodon.social, and probably prosecuted in places like Germany.

Yeah, nah.

The only people who win when you conflate Israel with all Jewish people are Zionists and Neo-Nazis.

Do not conflate Jewish people with Israel

That is a very important distinction

[–] Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I guess I am ignorant in that respect. When I was taught back in the 60’s it was taught as the Jewish people and all dissidents, disabled and whoever else the nazi’s wanted out of the way.

I said what I did because in today's world the labeling matters between Jewish people and zionists. Not because of anything that happened in WWII, but rather because you can condemn what the people in Israel are doing in Palestine and it has nothing to do with their faith.

However, there are people who will call you anti semetic for doing that and it's just not true.

I was brought up to feel for what happened to the Jews during that war.

And neglected to mention that it wasn't just jews but anyone the nazis didn't like, such as gays, communists, other races, etc.

I did not intentionally not mention them. I was just talking about them because they were the specific topic of discussion. Of course there were others.
