Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Israel is restrained by modern morality. We didn't see Hitler coming, and we didn't care back then. We do care now. If Israel went ahead with cattle cars and gas chambers and ovens they'd get curb stomped by the world. Israel has to tread carefully, portraying this as a war on terror instead of what it really is: mass extermination. Plus they literally cannot just mow down the whole populace, again because the world hasn't forgotten Hitler and would shut them down. They have to boil the pot more slowly... because scrutiny has increased as have standards of human rights.
Without all those restraints.......
They have proof of concept from that massacre yesterday.
Yeh, absolutely.
But it isnt fair to say they are worse than nazis.
Modern nazis? Maybe.
Id also say that the optics are that they arent attacking because of things people cant change.
They specifically targetting hamas's members children, they arent specifically targetting people that used to be hamas. Theoretically if hamas disbanded, the war would stop.
At least, thats the way the optics seem.
Whether that is what is actually happening (or would happen) is a different matter.
Are they going about it the correct way? Doesnt seem like it.
The nazis persecuted jewish people, their children, anybody associating with them and so on.
There were nazi supporters in many countries before WW2, who also blamed the jewish for many issues.
Theoretically. Targeting anyone's children is far out of bounds, and at 30,000 dead including people stampeding for food, it's not just Hamas or Hamas kids they're going after. Nor is it only Hamas that they're starving to death en masse. It is, however, the bullshit they're spoon feeding an uncritical world.
