It is simply not possible to evacuate over one million people in 24 hours from the zone of attack in Gaza. The answer to horrific atrocities by Hamas cannot be collective punishment upon an entire population, 50 percent of which are children.

Man thats a dangerous statement to say (as people will accuse you of defending hamas)... Thank you for saying it, its reasoned and thats what we need right now.

@freemo @georgetakei ...and it needed to be said as other in highest political position did too. Yes, we've been there before haven't we, many times.

@tatzelbrumm

Comparing current events in Israel to the shoah is ignorant at best. I suggest you actually spend some time learning about the details and considering your stance. No doubt is the situation in Gaza dire and it has been for decades. There have been incredible wrongs perpetrated against the Palestinians living there and there is an argument to be had about who all is responsible for that, but it is nothing and absolutely nothing like the shoah.

@Unknowable @freemo @georgetakei

@flying_saucers @tatzelbrumm @freemo @georgetakei Yes, agreed!!

If memory serves, it was in late summer 2022, Abbas was in Germany, and during a press conference with the chancellor, he compared 50 massacres against Palestinians with the shoah as well. 😲

Chancellor Olaf Scholz shook his hand after that press conference,🤦 which I saw, my jaw dropped thinking *ignorant gobshite!*, live on camera. It caused righteous outrage, and the chancellors press speaker was quick to limit the damage.

@freemo @georgetakei There was a horrific attack in Hawaii, it killed about 3,000 people. Our government responded by tossing young @georgetakei and his family into a prison camp, for the offense of looking like the attackers.

@not2b

I am aware of the incident and George's history with it. Thanks for reminding us though.
