    It’s broader than that - it also forbids comparisons of the Israeli government to Nazis. You may say that that’s just an issue of tone that doesn’t prevent serious discussion, and you aren’t wrong - but I have no interest in getting tone policed on a fucking genocide either, regardless of German law.

      How exactly can you compare Israel to the historical Nazis without relativising the atrocities of the Nazis including the holocaust?

      Remember Godwins law of internet discussions? Thats just a funny way of saying the same thing.

        Works both ways. You are trivializing the current genocide, that bares a lot of ressemblance to the Holocaust, including the use of new technology at industrial scale.

        In one occasion they bombed 23 houses because some Microsoft IA gave a good enough threshold that some hamas goon might be there ffs.

        Germany bombed by grandma and I’m not gonna let a bunch of Germans decide what I can call Nazi or not

          I am well aware of that, but that is totally besides the point.
