    you people found your angle to attack rhetoric you don’t like.

    People who don’t ignore historical context?

    comparing Zionists to Nazis is based on their nationalism and commitment to oppression and genocide.

    Again, reductive. Based on your own criteria basically every powerful nation today can be accused of being a Nazis.

    By that criteria the Han were Nazis when they overthrew the Manchus, the American governments were Nazi when they expanded west. When you lose definitional context, all of history and it’s lessons begin to become opaque.

    By just saying any act of colonialism or ethnic violence gets lumped in as Nazism, it redirects the blame from those who committed the acts to generalized ideologies that you associate with the third Reich.
