There's tons of Jewish people, including a Holocaust survivor and former victim of a real concentration camp, telling AOC to quit her bullshit.
The kids are in a detention facility. Donald Trump didn't personally decide "fuck Mexicans" and rip kids out of their loving homes. He's protecting children from the people in an adult detention facility who have actively broken the law and took their families with them in the process.
Calling Trump a Nazi and calling these places concentration camps is a massive slap in the face to the millions of people who actually died from the war.
- eesmith 7y agoSo if there are Jewish people who agree with her, and Jewish people who do not ... what does that mean? If there are Japanese people, who lived in "detention facilities" during WWII who agree with her definition ... what does that mean? If Ben Ferencz, who prosecuted Nazis in Nuremberg, 'describes these policies of separating children from their parents and putting those children in cages as “crimes against humanity.”' (quoting https://www.politicususa.com/2019/06/20/opinion-a-concentration-camp-by-any-other-name-is-still-a-concentration-camp.html https://www.politicususa.com/2019/06/20/opinion-a-concentrat... ) ... what does that mean? Maybe it means we need to stop what we're doing to those tens of thousands of children. 'Cause, you know, that's not doing anyone any good. And as for "actively broken the law" - last I checked, crossing the border illegally was a misdemeanor offense. Is this really just? Because I think it's much closer to an administration policy of "fuck the immigrants" than anything else.
