Israel’s foreign minister has said that an arms embargo on his country would lead to the elimination of the Israeli state and “a second Holocaust”.
Gideon Saar was speaking on Tuesday at an international conference on antisemitism in Jerusalem.
Tired of the israeli government using jews as a meat shield.
it certainly hurts Jews all over the world - many of whom are also against what is being done to Palestinians.
Second holocaust?
Dude, you are committing the second holocaust, so that technically would be the third.
Having said that, aren’t you kind of the reason why that would happen in the first place? Israel has had more than enough opportunities to make peace with everyone around it a hundred times over and so far all it has done is investing in making sure that shit got worse, like actually funding Hamas so that they could fight Hamas harder.
You dug your own grave here, I won’t push you in it, but I also won’t cry for you if you decide to jump in it
assuming holocaust=genocide, then this is not the second. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_genocides
A Holocaust,
entomologicallyetymologically, is a mass sacrifice in fire.This genocide is particularly notable for how many people have been burned.
entomology is the study of bugs
Autocorrupt got me.

Holocaust is the name of one particular genocide. There is only the one. Perhaps the word will be used for another genocide some day but if so it’s going to be entirely arbitrary.

wow! you’re actually insane!
Holocaust as a word has an ancient etymology meaning ~fire, but as a proper noun it refers to a (particular) genocide. The holocaust did in fact happen and Jews were targeted. Fuck off nazi.
The word holocaust is an ancient greek one. Not made to be limited what you claim. You will have to live with that fact I’m afraid. You dont get to police everyones use of language, we’ll use language like it was made to be used thanks.
Yes, but it didn’t refer to a genocide before. That’s like saying “the word spam predates the internet,” and calling me a prescriptivist for saying the word “spam” in its digital sense is a neologism with a different meaning. You should note that I mentioned the older meaning of holocaust in this same thread, here.
I’m being perfectly descriptivist btw – I am acknowledging that there may some day be another genocide widely referred to as “a holocaust,” but in general usage I just don’t see people refer to any other genocide as a holocaust. If this starts happening I’ll retract my stance, which I don’t even remember because the comment above was deleted.
Once again, I’ll use language how I like and I wont be assigned meanings and told how to speak by anyone, about anything. And I dont think anyone else should allow you to do that to them either.
Lately language has been aggressively weaponized and I think thats awful. Thanks anyway for your concern about my using language properly. Thats very neighborly of you.
But it’s not even you who I was replying to? It was someone who has now been banned? Unless you’re their alt, in which case you could really help me out here by reminding me what this was even about in the first place.
Anyway, if you would like to call genocides “holocausts,” I am not going to get on your case about that. But if you will use the word holocaust that way, there’s no particularly good reason to call the one in gaza either the second or third holocaust, not as far as I can see.
By the way, I used the word “holocaust” in the sense you are using it at the start of this very thread. So I honestly cannot understand what it is you think I’m policing. I think you might just suck at reading comprehension.
Stopping me from doing genocide is literally genocide.
That’s some expert-level DARVO right there.
Israel is basically a rich kid with a dad who bails him out for ramming people with his Ferrari on a main street and still wants people to feel bad about his trauma
Good. Fuck israel. I hope to see it burn.
“If you dont fund my genocide I’ll definitely be killed, because theres no way I’d stop my ethnic cleansing or give Palestinians their land and homes back.”
Cry wolf again.
if their mouths are moving, they are lying. In their culture, getting people to believe your lies makes you a genius not a criminal or con man.
“If we end apartheid then it’s the end of South Africa!”
“If we don’t exterminate the Jews then it’s the end of Germany!”
We’ve heard this before.
But Trump said there is white genocide in South Africa now so ending the Apartheid was a bad idea!
Trump never said ending Apartheid was a bad idea. You insult our intelligence by thinking we’ll believe your lies.

Fuck you, israel is a state based on genocide of everyone living around. So don’t bring back the Holocaust card. It was terrible, but has nothing to do with wiping out whole country of Palestine, so they can implant more religious jewish fanatics instead.
“This latte is cold, this is a second holocaust, and antisemitic.”
Yes, clearly Israel is using their weapons for defensive purposes, and if more weapons arent provided (for um defense, or course), All Israelis are under threat of annhialation.
