Why does the BBC refer to dead terrorists as 'journalists'?

Absolutely not. What we don't accept, or at least I don't, is that as awful as the Holocaust was, it does not give European Jews the right or justify in any way their treatment of the Palestinian people. As you so kindly highlighted to me, it was a European issue.

This is the post @SingingShrews

@EnoughIsEnoughSortThisOut Simply bringing up the Holocaust isn't Holocaust inversion as I'm sure you know.

I haven’t said the Holocaust justifies any bad treatment of others. And as far as I know no one else on here has either.

I do object to it being minimised and trivialised and used for ridiculous and offensive point scoring

She was saying that there was 30% in the difference between a previous posters '96% of Jews were slaughtered' and the actual number of 63%.

That's why her post says '30% in the difference' not '30% of Jews died' like you claimed she is saying.

But it was used to trivialise the ongoing genocide in Gaza because not as big a percentage of the Gaza population has been massacred yet.

3% of Palestinians have been killed and that is terrible.
It has not yet been judged a genocide.
You may consider it a genocide but you are not the ICJ.

True but neither is Omer Bartov. I'll go with his opinion until the ICJ confirms it.

Are you ok Ophelia?

The poster had not made the distinction in the previous post just used the words "WW2 96% of Jews were slaughtered" a figure they had clearly made up so I clarified the two figures because their post sounded like it was worldwide so I used the two numbers which were sourced from the Holocaust Foundation. There was no malice in my post and you seem to have created an issue from nothing.

Thank you @SingingShrews for supporting me. It's absolutely awful to misrepresented in this way about something so serious when some simple reading properly would have prevented it from happening.

90% of Jews in Poland were murdered
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Holocaust_in_Poland

That is genocide. Do try Google before accusing posters of 'making things up'.

3% deaths in gaza, it is what happens in a conflict. That is not genocide. Hope that helps.

Misrepresenting?? You've just accused me of making something up!

It is awful I agree.

So 96% of Jews were killed in WW2 then?

90% of Jews in Poland were murdered. That was in ww2 yes and that was genocide.

3% of gazans were killed because of a war that hamas started in the gazan conflict. That was not genocide.

Would you like me to keep repeating?

No because you are just trying to distract from the fact that you completely made up the 96% figure and never mentioned Poland.

You do know Poland was occupied by the nazis in WW2 yes?

90% of Jews in Poland murdered in WW2. That is genocide.

3% gazans killed in a conflict is not.

Ok.

Still made up the 96% and never mentioned Poland hence the comprehension difficulties from other posters.
Good luck 👍

Approx 2/3 of Europe’s Jewish population 6 million - was murdered in the holocaust

and a few million more other people

you would think therefore that Jewish people above all would recognise the futility and evilness of mass murder , of killing civilians and children

No bother. Anyone who has read the thread can see what you have said, I wouldn't worry about it. You're posts are clear.

Never mentioned Poland? It was occupied and was in ww2! Ok I'll try to list all countries next time I mention the war.

'Made up' I've no idea why you are nitpicking about this. 90% of their Jewish population murdered.

Disclaimer I did say 96% earlier I should have said 90, not that is makes the blindest bit of difference it still demonstrates the massive numbers .

3% is not genocide. It's deaths in a conflict that was caused by hamas

Using the Holocaust to lecture Jewish people on morality is such a manipulative tactic.

No other group is told that because their ancestors survived persecution, they have a unique obligation to remain defenceless when attacked.

Israel isn't engaging in an industrialised program of mass murder, it is fighting an urban war against a terrorist group that explicitly wants to repeat October 7th.

So why did you use “ a percentage of Jews killed worldwide “ figure? What was that about? You know the Holocaust happened in Europe? It’s the affected countries that are relevant- Lithuania, Poland, Germany

Im not really OK with this sort of quibbling about the numbers in the Holocaust.
The number 96% is true of the numbers killed in some countries. ( Lithuania)
In other countries the rate was not so catastrophically high.
The fact that Jewish people were hunted and murdered in so many countries is chilling enough. We’re not just talking about one small area . It was a whole continent.
And now there are people who minimise it and deny the right of Israel to exist.
No - none of that is OK with me.

Because the poster did not clarify what Jewish population she was talking about which is why I put in both figures .

It's really not that big of a deal but there's obviously an agenda behind creating the furore.

What was your agenda ?
