(17,755 posts)112. You don't see a problem with comparing Israelis to Nazis?

It's something that antisemites like to do, making statements like "Jews are the new nazis" or "Israel is doing to Palestinians what the Nazis did to Jews".
Here's some more info about the rules here from the I/P group:
If you feel great affinity to groups who are promoting hate in the Middle East such as Kahane, or Hamas; feel there is a Jewish conspiracy governing US foreign policy or control of the media; or believe supporters of Islam or Palestinian Nationalism are terrorists, then you are probably likely to be banned.
Proper use of certain words:
Please exercise extreme caution and sensitivity when using the words "anti-Semitism" or "Zionism." There is a wide range of opinion on the meaning of these words. If you must use them, please make sure your intended meaning is clear.
Do not use the term "Zionist" to mean "Jew" or "Israeli." Do not use the term "Jew" to mean "Israeli".
Do not call Palestinians "terrorists" unless you are actually talking about people who blow up cafes or busses filled with civilians.
Do not compare Middle East regional leaders and parties to Hitler or the Nazis. Use of these terms is considered inflammatory and should be avoided.
Do not call other members of this message board "terror apologist," "Palestinian apologist," "Israeli apologist," "Nazi," "Fascist," "Sharonist," "Likudist", etc.

Actually, there is no textbook that defines ethnic cleansing in legal terms.

You believe it's Israel's intent to completely destroy everyone of Palestinian descent?

I'm not asking anyone to prove intent, just if, in their opinion, if it's Israel (or Netanyahu's) intent to annihilate

"There's nothing 'pretend' about genocide" is exacxtly why this agenda-driven talking point is so offensive.

Innocent civilians pay the price in every war but that does not make it genocide

Kind of how you have a big blind spot whenever a certain group of terrorists who started all this is mentioned
