To Nickhere,
The Holocaust was conducted against the Jewish people by European nazis.It had nothing to do with the Palestinian people who had lived alongside their Jewish Palestinian neighbours in relative peace for centuries.
The Zionista have conducted massive crimes against the Palestinians that have been going on for decades.They have tried to smash the very notion that the Palestinians are an indiginous people who have lived on their land for centuries if not thousands of years.The Zionists tried to convince the world that it was an "empty land" somehow ordained by the word of God for a chosen few.
Actually what happened was ethnic cleansing on a grand scale,mass murder,occupation,land grab, the demolion of thousands of Palestinian homes and the destruction of their towns, farms,orchards and villages, illegal armed colonies on the West Bank, the mass imprisonment of Palestinian males, hundreds of checkpoints,the building of a monstrous apartheid wall on Palestinian land, the theiving of Palestinian property by guntotin' armed zionists thugs, the closure of Palestinian schools and colleges, the bantustanisation of Palestinian land, the building of hundreds of checkpoints and roadblocks that torment daily Palestinian life,the siege and destruction of Gaza,the death squads that kill at will,the killing this week of a new born baby by a tank shell,the denial of urgent medical treatment to seriously ill patients in Gaza which has led to the deaths of dozens,the pauperisation of the Palestinian people,the destruction of the Gaza power plant, the collapse of the water supply and the creation of sewage lakes in that beseiged city and the countless other petty and not so petty acts of daily humiliation intended to break the Palestinians.
Israel is not a nazi state but it is a deeply oppressive , thuggish and militaristic one.....and it is a state with a deeply damaged present and a dead end future....
