It appears that in Israel they believe that it’s sufficient to attach the label “humanitarian” to convert every act into a legitimate one. Just like the term “the most moral army in the world”, which is no longer connected to what IDF soldiers are doing, they’re now trying to present a concentration camp to be used for the transfer of population as the most moral one in the world.
An Israeli source said Wednesday that “the plan is to move all civilian Gazans southward to a large tent city in Rafah, in which they’ll have hospitals and plenty of food.” He added: “Just like the prime minister said, as far as I’m concerned, they can be given Ben & Jerry’s ice cream.” A source of blue-and-white pride: In our concentration camp they have ice cream.
In Israel, you’re not allowed to make comparisons, and when you do compare to benighted periods, something always “goes wrong in the translation.” As long as the concentration camp isn’t a waystation on the way to gas chambers, it’s easy to refute the comparison and thereby normalize almost any evil. As long as it’s not a Holocaust, everything’s okay. Thus the historical comparison, which was meant to be cautionary, becomes a tool for muzzling critics and for normalizing the evil.
Oh wow, they actually wrote this title. 😯
How in the hell did Israel become the very thing they founded themselves against?
Mostly by being the very thing it was founded on

bro believes israel was made to protect the jews lmao
Maybe it’s the irony. After Auschwitz, you’d think “Never again” not “let’s do it better.”
dude, stop associating israel with jewishness
Its the only ethnostate and deserves it.
…with the most moral genocide, supposely
Based on who’s morals? The ones who are shooting women and children as they try to get help. The ones killing aid workers and doctors who are trying to help? Those people’s morals?
I bet you Hitler had the same idea
Goebels filmed Jewish ghettos where they put water in cups with black ink in, to look like coffee, to “show” to the German people that the Jews were being taken care of very well in the ghettos (and later camps).
Plus ça change…
Easy enough to do!
Build a camp with free high quality food and Healthcare. Safe homes for families to live in for free. A mission statement focused on a K-Masters education and continued education with community workshops, gardens, and kitchens to further develope core life skills.
Then let people come and go as they please.
Perfect concentration camp achieved.
