Do Jewish people not see the similarities between the Holocaust and
what's going on in Gaza?
I’m sure they do.

During WW II, one of the genocidal assholes in Italy and Germany helping
with the Holocaust was this guy:


from Wikipedia. This particular photo of Amin al-Husseini was taken in
1929, the year the local Arabs killed or drove out all the Jews living
in Gaza. The Arabs didn’t mind this stuff when the shoe was on the other foot.

And it continues today. Having rejected every two-state solution, Hamas, Islamic Jihad and others continue to advocate genocide.

That’s got to be reminiscent. Unless you were playing that idiotic “poor mistreated Palestinian” card. The problem of the good people of Gaza
comes not from the Israelis but from the thugs within their own
community. And it doesn’t look like they have any other chance to
improve their lot except the intervention of the IDF, who are beginning
to look like the modern version of the Allied armies overrunning the concentration camps, except they’ll have a much tougher time of it.

I live in Israel. Your paradigm is incorrect. Gaza isn't about a bunch
of Hamas crazies controlling 1.8 poor innocent Gazans. Hamas is the
popular expression of the Gazan people. Destroying Hamas cannot destroy
the desire for Islamic supremacy of the people left. Recall also they
came to power democratically in 2006. And in Judea & Samaria aka the
West Bank all political polls show Hamas would win any election. The
only hope is to encourage the Arabs to leave. 400,000 have willingly
left Gaza. Financial enticement can get most to leave. After 100 years
that's the only thing that will pacify this area. Everything else is
wishful liberal Western self-projection on them and doomed to fail.

Two things first in 2006 the HAMAS narrowly won a majority of seat in
the Gazans parliament. Their was no election since.

Even in 2006 they were already an armed force controlling Gaza so there
was very few opposition.

Lastly, you’re likely right about Gazans. But not for the reason you think.

The thing is, the HAMAS are dictatorial authoritarian theocrats. They
fucking lie, they lie constantly and spread fucktons of propaganda while limiting access to outside information. Most Gazans only have HAMAS news
as a source of info. So they can try to make up their own minds all they
want they don’t have many outside info.

That’s how propaganda work, reducing your ideas spectrum to control how
far your mind may go

Hamas won by more than 56% of the votes in 2005. I would hardly call
that “narrowly”. Polls now show that if there were an election today
Hamas would win by an even greater majority. Today the youth in Gaza are brainwashed into hating Jews. When most kids go to summer camp to have
fun, the kids in Gaza go to camps where they are indoctrinated into
hating Jews and learn how to use weapons and undergo military training.
I don't buy this theory that the Palestinians in Gaza are suffering
under Hamas and would like nothing better than to see them gone. The
majority hate the Jews, and the West, and are complicit with Hamas's objectives. There cannot be peace with the Palestinians. Let's get that straight.

I have to believe there are at least some good people in Gaza, no matter
how small the number, who’d think differently once the brainwashing and threats were removed. I suspect my paradigm and yours aren’t really that
much different.

A few thousand, I'm sure. Not enough to temper 2 million, though.
