It keeps happening in history: people using horror suffered in the past to give cover to their own crimes. Attacking others in the name of their own holy dead.
Sharing stories or pictures of a previous genocide to make others overlook a current genocide. Accusing others of being enemies to their religion and ethnicity when voices raise in protest.
Over a hundred times in the world, in the last few thousand years. It’s just particularly galling to me to see this, now, in my name.
Every society needs a cry like that, but only in a very few do they come out with the complete, unvarnished version, which is “Remember-The-Atrocity-Committed-Against-Us-Last-Time-That-Will-Excuse-The-Atrocity-That-We’re-About-To-Commit-Today! And So On! Hurrah!

Maybe don't do a fucking Holocaust if you don't want to be criticized for doing a Holocaust.
What doesn't "anger" Israel nowadays? They're going rampant killing people left and right. Literally fucking Nazis they are. What a shame, man.
Lol even the Nobel peace prize winner angers them.
They're not "literal" Nazis...
They're ISIS.
They have more in common with Nazis with their Lebensraum settler colonialism and apartheid system full of their riff on concentration camps.
But, fun fact: Western interests, including Israel, sure do seem to conveniently benefit from Daesh attacks on those aligned with Palestine - at opportune moments. I'm just saying.
I don't know, man, they are doing the same shit that the Nazis did to them. It is a shame, they should be the ones who call for peace, not genocide innocent people.
They're not a "literal" Islamic state...
They're Suetekh.
What's worse, committing genocide, or somebody correctly pointing out you're committing genocide???1? really makes you think
Sadly, they have only the corpses of the hundreds of thousands of innocents they've murdered to console them in their outrage over a comment.
If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck…
Who gives a shit if they're mad? Genocidal maniacs don't matter.
What are they going to do? Serve the Japanese desserts in shoes again?
At first I thought the comparison was sacrificing relevancy for Japan-centricity but now that I think about it what Israel is doing is exactly that: (genocidal levels of) terror bombing.
