    How good is the translation via Deepl or other tools? This should be a broad overview, but it’s German.

    You could also try English Wikipedia for more background.

    Otherwise I wanted to make the point that comparing the Jewish people to the Nazis is wrong and only ads more oil to the fire. Criticise Israeli government, IDF, violent settlers, stupid people blocking neccessary aid for Gaza but don’t fall in the antisemitism trap where Jewish people even in other countries are held responsible for the actions of a right wing government.

      But Melkath never even mentioned jews. He specifically said Israelis throughout his post. And he pretty clearly compared the Israeli people to nazis, not what you said, which was comparing jewish people to nazis.

      It feels like you’re doing exactly what the German government is doing, which is equating criticism of Israelis and of Israel to antisemitism.

        He called the Israeli people ‘human trash’ (Isreal considers itself state of the Jews). And he meant all of the Israeli people. What do you think this rhetoric leads to?

        And as I stated multiple times above I am all in on criticising the Israeli gevernment and no I am not doing exactly what the German government is doing. I would argue for a stopping of all delivery of arms via the the German government and for a ceasefire asap. I see a huge problem with the way the Israeli government walked into the trap planted by Hamas and is now part of a war which may be labeled as a genocide. So why should you call all of the Israeli people ‘human trash’ when you could specify your criticism? It’s the same as calling all Palestinians Hamas.
