The holocaust will always mean Gaza to me.

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by boston bean (a host of the General Discussion forum).

I just saw a 4 panel map showing the shrinking Gaza strip. I now understand when I see postings pointing out the crimes being committed. This is just so wrong.

There is no comparison whatsoever and I find that highly offensive.

You really should self delete this.

However, it will be another holocaust during my lifetime, among others.

Granted it doesn't look good, but it's not even close.

What is happening in Gaza is a horrific tragedy, but is vastly exceeded by the atrocities of the holocaust.

Your post suggests that you are willing to declare millions of murders meaningless. That's not going to be well-received here.
