I’m not a Zelensky cheerleader. but, come on, it’s pretty ridiculous how a small segment with the Jewish world screams bloody murder anytime someone has the audacity to liken anything to the holocaust. They do the same thing when pro-lifers talk about an “abortion holocaust.” Or Armenians talk about their genocide at the hands of the Turks as a holocaust. Yes, yes, we get it and everyone stipulates that Hitler’s holocaust was, is and ever shall be the “worst ever.” I mean seriously, it’s pretty silly to demand a sort of ownership over a word and flip out whenever someone else uses it a non-approved way.
I agree on that point. Who knows? Maybe Zelensky is enough of a savy politician so that he purposely said something triggering and thus, distracting from the bigger issues.
A benign and temporary smokescreen just to give himself time to hammer out some ‘agreement’ with Putin.
I am speculating that both heads of state would like to end this very soon and for very different reasons.
The Holocoaust was unique. It was the first time in human history that people were killed enmasse using industrial production line methods. There have been many genocidal actions throughout history, but not like this.
Concur.
This small segment of the Jewish population is never happy.
Probably the same with all peoples, I just happen to hear it when it’s idiots from my own country.
“Or Armenians talk about their genocide at the hands of the Turks as a holocaust.”
I think the Turks did kill every Armenian they could find (unlike Putin), so that would lend credence to the Armenian claim. I agree on abortion, the comparison just turns people off (at least the people you’re trying to pull over), since if Hitler limited his killing to aborting Jewish babies, the world would have had a collective yawn (since that’s the case right now with the Weegars in China).
