Where are the death camps? The gas chambers? This comment has no place on HN for sheer idiocy and sensationalism.

> Where are the death camps? The gas chambers? This comment has no place on HN for sheer idiocy and sensationalism. Gaza itself is an open air internment camp, under Israeli occupation; they use illegal munitions on civilian targets, and claim that its extremist reside within those homes. Their is a literal wall surrounding all of Gaza in order to keep them in place, and you have the audacity to make such a claim? Any aid that tries to come results in the same situation: volunteers get killed illegally by the Israeli military as expansion into the West bank continues. Just because YOU refuse to acknowledge the Crimes doesn't mean they don't take place.

  I agree that Gaza is a crime against humanity, but neither is it Buchenwald and you're not doing your argument any favors with the hyperbole.

  I find it funny when Israel is accuse of "controlling the borders of Gaza". I mean, by the same logic, the US controls the borders of Canada.

    > I find it funny when Israel is accuse of "controlling the borders of Gaza". I mean, by the same logic, the US controls the borders of Canada. They literately prevent aid from coming into Gaza, and you think it's the same thing? Moreover, Palestinian fisherman aren't allowed to go beyond 1 mile out to shore as the Israeli State forbids them from going any further and are monitored and surveilled, under some obtuse justification. Shelling of civilian areas is a common occurrence. What you should find funny is your capacity for false equivalences, and perhaps how sick of a sense of humour you have that you can find any of this even remotely amusing. None of this funny, it's a blight on humanity that such a thing occurs in the 21st Century (be it in China, Russia or Israel) and that we can still deem people 'less than' based on some a cult like nationalist, and genocidal ideology which is what Nazism was ultimately based on. I use that work specifically to reflect the hypocrisy of the Zionist agenda because they have used it for so long to shut down any discourse on the matter and has allowed this to occur in the first place, but I could easily refer to any other number of genocides, too. I choose not to. The point is: I choose my words carefully, so should you.

      It is funny because the words are chosen carefully to gloss over the actual situation. Hamas is at war with Israel. I don't find it unusual in the least that a country at war tightly controls its land crossings. Do you? The more important question might be - why is the border crossing with Egypt also closed down or tightly controlled? Isn't Egypt an Arab ally? Why would they do that?

      Sadly your point is proven by the direction the conversation has taken. Hasta victoria siempre.
