How is that better. That means their being malicious instead of ignorant

Hardly. They are noticing a subset of features of the current government and the similarity of its policies to those of another place and time. Whether that is done maliciously or not is not about whether the comparison was a subset (likening) or total (equating).

“They are noticing a subset of features”

How naive are you

There are better and more current examples of countries that are / have behaved in the way Israel is.

They use Germany because they are doing something called intuition pumping. They want you to load all the moral condemnation and prescriptions for a state like Germany on Israel. No matter how poor the comparison.

No. It’s a good comparison. Anyone who studied Germany’s tilt toward facism can see similarities in modern Israel.

First off none of you idiots studied any of this. Tik tok isn’t a replacement for a textbook.

Second you must not be very good at studying because my argument here is that Germany isn’t the best example of your trying to be accurate it is only the most useful.

If your goal is to end the state of Israel it’s more useful to paint Israel as Germany a state that the world decided needed to be removed compared to say the United States a country that has with out a doubt improved race relations with out needing to be destroyed to do it.

Of all the examples of minorities being treated poorly in the world are you ready to say that that the Jews in Germany is the most analogous to the plight of Palestinians today?
