        To get them out of europe. Anti-semitism was not a purely german thing, they were just the first to resort to genocide.

          Yes…

          I’m sorry, what are you confused about?

          Jewish people made up about half the victims, and was the only demographic who then got their own country given to them after it was stolen from the indengious population.

            The concept of there being an “indigenous population” on a land that humanity has occupied and fought over for 10000 years is laughable. And stolen? They lost a world war.

              Hold up…

              You don’t think Africa has any indigenous populations?

              You think a random collection of Europeans can say they deserve that land and take it?

              Like, that’s apartheid South Africa mate… Even modern South Africa doesn’t defend that anymore, which is why they’re fighting Israel in the courts today.

              And stolen? They lost a world war.

              What?

              Are you saying that you think the native population of Israel fought with the Nazis?

              Who told you that?

              I don’t think you’re intentionally spreading misinformation, but that’s what you’re doing even if you somehow believe it

                Not only are you unaware of the Ottoman Empire and its role in the World War 1 but you also forget that said land has been controlled by almost a dozen different empires several of which wipe out the previous inhabitants and installed their own.

        What?

        The war wasn’t fought to stop genocide of any group, it was because Germany and their allies kept invading and attacking other countries.

        This is what I’m complaining about.

        People learn a feel good version of why WW2 happened in school and run with it. But it’s not really that accurate, it’s just what we tell kids in school.
