I wouldn’t say Europe are overreacting. This particular post, “worse than nazi Germany”, yes, but atm they are being a bit too complicit in things like the US bombing and kidnapping the head of a foreign nation…

However the US isn’t literally building camps with the explicit purpose of mass murder and genocide. Don’t get me wrong, they’re still doing a lot of nazi and atrocious shit, but distinguishing the nuance is important.

It’s not about their case for being there. It’s about their desire to be distinct from them. Harder to “other” and genocide your own people.

I just have memories of the early days of genetic sequencing research breakthroughs and the Israeli government started to order it’s scientists to sequence the Israeli and Palestinian DNA to “prove” their difference… only to very quickly learn they were almost identical, stop the program, and try and stop people from talking about it.

Without looking at the sources, I’m going to assume it’s because, genetically speaking, Palestinians and Israelis are almost identical.

Edit - yep… That’s the kicker.
