(14,733 posts)because the point of this thread is that people who were historically oppressed have turned right around and oppressed another set of people.
And if you read the comments above on how the border control has been letting in far less food than necessary to allow the population to avoid starvation, Gaza really does begin to look like a giant concentration camp. Sure, there are no gas chambers, but if the population doesn't have enough food, you'll get to mass starvation sooner or later. Did you happen to see the pictures of the corpses of the four boys killed on the beach? They all looked pretty skeletal, without a lot of extra flesh on their bones. They would have been considered anorexic or borderline anorexic here in the states.
So why didn't we see WW2 referenced in regards to Syria, Iraq, Muslims after 9/11, or the kids on the border? Far as I know, there are no concentration camps involved in any of those areas with those inside being starved. (Although I wouldn't put that past Assad, I just haven't heard of it happening.) You could hear such comparisons with North Korea - Kim jung whatsit is even farther down the path to total evil bastardhood. Not only starving millions of his own people, but having people torn apart by starving dogs and so on.
