"You will say that what Hitler did to you was a joke - come on, we are waiting for you," Palestinian political activist Ahed Tamimi said.

Her Instagram post, translated in the link:

“Come on settlers, we will slaughter you. We are waiting for you in all the cities of the West Bank. What Hitler did to you was a picnic. We will drink your blood and eat your skulls”

She has since been arrested:

    Oh really?

    Can you show me where the IDF had a doctor take two Palestinian twin children, cut open their backs, sew them back together back to back?

    Or infect one twin with typhoid and then do an organ transplant from that one to the other?

    Does an IDF doctor have a wall of different colored eyeballs harvested from Palestinians?

    Remove their bones, muscles, and nerves without anesthesia?

    Maybe attach a 7 year old girl’s urinary tract to her own colon?

    The Holocaust is in its own category for a reason, and just because it’s become posh to compare literally everything to it or Hitler doesn’t mean that those things are actually comparable.

          I’m sure that’ll be really comforting to a child whose family got shot by settlers in the West Bank.

            Right, but unless those children are then being put in ovens and burnt to ash, it’s literally not a Holocaust which gets its name from the type of animal sacrifice in antiquity where the whole animal was burnt to ash.

            That’s why the Holocaust is called the Holocaust.

            We can still talk about genocide as a bad thing like the Armenian genocide, or Russian actions in Ukraine, or what happened in Rawanda, etc.

            But none of those were Holocausts, and neither is this.
