I used to like The Economist, but this is Nazis propaganda right on their page.
Israel, by contrast, does not meet the test of genocide. There is little evidence that Israel, like Hamas, “intends” to destroy an ethnic group—the Palestinians. Israel does want to destroy Hamas, a militant group, and is prepared to kill many civilians in doing so. While some Israeli extremists might want to eradicate the Palestinians, that is not a government policy.
This is not okay. This is Nazi logic. Nazi, fascist logic, from The Economist.
Even Nazi Germany did not make killing the official “intention” or government policy in my understanding. At least not always. It was announced as a safety guarantee, for example.
Now, there doesn’t have to be one ethnicity in one state, but that is the practical outcome in this case, pretty much from the beginning.
Theoretically true. There are many countries with multiple ethnicities after all… yet in how many of them the different ethnicities actually live in peace with each other? It would seem like there are ethnic clashes everywhere, and the farther that WW2 fades out in collective memory, the more of them.
There are different levels of peace, and people seem to find far more reasons than just ethnicity to fight over. I mean, Sufis, Sunnis, and Shias all fight with each other and they’re all Islam.
