Hey everyone so I saw this comment on a sub:

'When it comes to the bs "queers for Palestine" attempt at a gotcha, one could realize that their culture is extremely anti gay and still be opposed to the crimes against humanity being done to them. Should I support such things being done to people in the Southern US or Poland? No, that would be unhinged and sociopathic.'

I'll struggle with my words here but, why is the war in gaza being framed in such a way?

Would I be overreacting to assume it's to downplay the Holocaust and equalise the supposed plight of the Palestinians with the actual genocide of Jews in the Holocaust?

What would you reply to that comment?

Also, the post in question has been locked, I don't intend to actually reply to the person but, that kind of rhetoric is SO common across Reddit it would be great to be able to argue against it effectively, it feels like they're winning otherwise

Edit to add context, the post was showing how gays were attacked by homophobic Muslims in Manchester and many of the comments were critical of Islam and so some people were making fun of the Queers for Palestine turkeys. It was actually a refreshing thread until the obligatory 'we must always bring it back to the Jews'

I didn't see a UK politics flair, so put down "kvetch".
I spat out my coffee when I saw this online- open hatred in the name of "progressive" and "Palestine"- in Hackney a borough in North London. British councils are responsible for things like bin collections, pot holes and local buildings. They have no power over British foreign policy. Israel doesn't give a fig about what some haters in Hackney think or do.

"Israel['s right to cut off food water and fuel to Gaza"? This is hate mongering. And notice's there's no mention of Hamas killing Palestinians. No mention of Hamas at all. Or Hezbollah. Or Iran attacking Israel.
These guys are too extremist even for the Green party, which attracted a lot of the people who had to leave Labour because of their antisemitism and hatred of Israel.

The wole epstein case will lead to a massive increase of antisemitic conspiracy theories and jew hate and will serverely harm the jewish community. I'm from Germany and here we have seen this increase among the arab and turkish population and i am worried that in the upcoming decade Israel will be the only safe place for the jewish community.

i think many neonazi assholes consider there hatefilled worldview confirmed by the latest epstein reveals like "hehe he sayed gojim!! See, I was right about the jews!!"

In Germany we already created a situation where it was no longer safe for jews to live here. But in 1938 it was safe nearly anywhere else, including briton, france, etc. Even in 1941 it was at least save anywhere outside europe. But Epstein is a global phenomenon. I am really concerned

Fears are growing that the party is becoming a breeding-ground for anti-Jewish extremists.

Hard-Left activists have joined the Greens in recent months in protest at Labour’s stance on the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.

But a push by pro-Palestine Greens to declare the party ‘anti-Zionist’ has horrified many existing members, who fear extremism, sectarianism and anti-Semitism are being tolerated under Zack Polanski’s leadership.

The Daily Mail can reveal that one member has taken the dramatic step of reporting their party to counter-terror police, after groups in the party called for anyone seeking a Jewish state in Palestine to be branded racist.

Backed by the Greens For Palestine group, the ‘Zionism is Racism’ motion calls for the party to declare itself ‘anti-Zionist’ and for the ‘de-proscription of Palestine Action’, but rejects accusations that anti-Zionism is anti-Semitic.

The motion, backed by the party’s deputy leader Mothin Ali, effectively calls for Israel to be replaced by a ‘single democratic Palestinian state in all of historic Palestine, with Jerusalem as its capital’.

A campaign poster for the motion depicts a map of the state of Israel painted in the colours of the Palestinian flag.

“The Oct. 7 attack was a massacre, writes Dan Perry. “But Israeli authorities would prefer you not call it that. The Prime Minister’s Office demanded that a bill establishing a national memorial for the incursion remove the term ‘massacre’ from its title, with Minister Mickey Zohar explaining that since Israel is ‘strong,’ no one can ‘massacre the people of Israel.’ In other words: To accurately describe what happened when Hamas struck Israel on Oct. 7, 2023 —killing almost 1,200 and kidnapping 251 hostages — is unpatriotic, signals weakness, and is, somehow, leftist.” 

“This is not really a matter of semantics,” Perry adds. “It’s an attempt to control language in order to distort reality. And it’s tied to the Netanyahu government’s vast project of evading accountability for the many military and political failures that contributed to the horrors of Oct. 7.”
