    I call it racism

    There have been more civilians killed in the latest atrocities by the Israelis in Gaza in only three months than the number of all Ukrainian civilians dead in almost 2 years. but they haven’t spared one bad word of the dictionary in describing Putin’s war in Ukraine while banning their journalists from describing Israel’s atrocities as brutal.

    If this isn’t racism and viewing one race more worthy of humanity and empathy than another, than I don’t know what it could be, cause maybe we need a better word to describe both "racism + hypocrisy "

      Not merelly racism, but the cold, extreme, violent kind of racism practiced by the Nazis.

      Even the KKK in a country of 350 million people did not manage to murder so many of those they deemed “lesser” in decades as the Israelis are doing to those they call “human animals” in a few months.

      I did not at all thought like this when all this started, but by now all I see is the disgusting parallel with how the Nazis thought and, worse, how they acted, and can only conclude that those at this point excusing, whitewashing or even supporting the actions of the State Of Israel are Nazi-lovers.

      At this point this shit has transcended the racism of Appartheid and the “mild” style of Fascism in places like Italy, and has reached the kind of ultra-racist violent Fascism of the Nazis.
