Clarify misinformation.
What was yours?

You wrote
The real numbers are
“63% of European Jews were slaughtered.
Or 36% of worldwide Jewish people.”

Why did you refer to a “worldwide” figure if not to minimise the numbers.
The genocide was happening in specific countries.
The worldwide figure is entirely misleading. If I used a percentage of Palestinians killed worldwide it would be very different to the percentage killed in a specific place - Gaza.
If you are looking at numbers killed - 96% of Jews were murdered in Lithuanian, 90% in Poland , 65% in Hungary and so on.

Why did you say “36% of worldwide Jewish people “ in this context ? It sounds like minimising.

It wasn't
HTH.

Perhaps you can see that your quibbling over the numbers - and then introducing an irrelevant worldwide number - might lead people to think you were minimising .
I’ll leave it there.

Leave it wherever you want but perhaps misreading (30%?) and also using a very valid and accurate post to accuse someone of minimizing the Holocaust is a really shitty thing to do.

Good luck.

I think it is horrendous using the horrors of the Holocaust in order to excuse the genocide in Gaza by quoting numbers. That is not how a genocide is defined. 6 million innocent Jewish people were murdered in the most horrendous way possible. Whether it is 30%, 60% of the population is totally irrelevant. There are over a billion people in India. Does that mean murdering 6 million of them would not constitute a genocide. I think using the percentage of the European Jewish population murdered in the Holocaust in order to try to say the Palestinians don't have it that bad is actually fucking sinister.

I never said it was.

Strange comments on this thread about why the BBC dont' refer to dead terrorists as terrorists - Hamas (the actual thread topic). It's a simple question really. Why don't they check their sources before merely assuming that every 'journalist' is an innocent person. Fortunately, these things are checked and pointed out to the BBC - they should apologise. However, an organisation that cannot call a terrorist a terrorist isn't one to take too much notice of. The BBC of old has long gone.
