Comment on Germans: what genocide?
woelkchen@lemmy.world 5 months agoAs an atheist I’m far from being an Islam defender but a special tax for “book religions” other than Islam and bans on certain jobs isn’t genocide and really not an excuse to displace or even murder a Muslim population who wasn’t even the ruling class that made those laws in the first place.
Islam isn’t treating Judaism and Christianity the way it would treat polytheists like Hindus. Now that’s a whole other can of worms but Palestinian genocide is inexcusable no matter how much anyone tries to justify it belittle it.

If you don’t see having to choose between conversion or death, with hundreds of thousands killed, as genocide, what would you call it?
What about being killed in the street for wearing shoes as a jew?
What about legally being allowed to genocide jews because one was rumoured to have struck a muslim woman?
That’s a strange idea of religions living peacefully together

That’s a bullshit lie. There was no Jewish genocide “because one was rumoured to have struck a muslim woman”. Either you don’t know what a genocide is and actively decide to stay uninformed or you’re spreading propaganda. The only Jewish genocide happened in Europe at the hands of Nazis. Scattered instances of violent crimes are abhorrent but not genocide. Equating both borders on Holocaust denial because it belittles actual genocide.

So you think historians are lying about what happened under, for instance, the Almohads?
It’s about your bs claim that jews were generally having a great time living under islamic regimes
Ironically you pointing towards the nazis is the whataboutism here

[citation needed] specifically for a genocide after a single case of domestic violence.
