    If you call for the destruction of the Chinese state, and the displacement of its Chinese citizens, then that’s racist.

    The OP is not a reasoned criticism, but antisemitic propaganda and hateful conspiracy peddling.

      Who called for Israelites to be displaced? It’s nowhere in the OP.

      Who called for the destruction of Israel? It’s nowhere in the OP.

      The OP is stating a fact, Israel is doing things in Gaza that other States wouldn’t be allowed to do to their neighbor without repercussions from first world countries. Stating that and saying that Israel needs to stop isn’t racism.

              Do you realise that such a broad definition only is saying that Israel can’t be considered Nazi no matter what they do?

                You can criticize Israel’s policies without using Nazi comparisons just fine. The only thing Nazi comparisons do is incite and make understanding impossible. See Godwin’s law.

                In the case of Israel it’s also extremely bad taste and shows you’re not interested in serious discussion, only hatemongering.

                  If you’re committing a genocide it’s only fair that people compare you with other people who commited genocide. Like the nazis.

                  And of course it hurts. Because Israel hates to be reminded that they are becoming the kind of people that 80 years ago tried to exterminate them.

                  Stop doing nazi things if you don’t want to be called a nazi. It’s as simple as that.

                    OP had to pull their definition from a page that didn’t exist until after the October 7th attack in order to find a source that calls comparing State policies to another State’s policies racism.

          It’s not, if the state of Israel starts to displace people of a specific ethnic group to isolate them in order to more easily kill them isn’t it fair to make a comparison with any other group that did the same thing in the past?

          Stop conflating the State and the people, that’s actually much more racist than criticizing the State because you’re basically saying that all Jews support what the State of Israel is doing.

                No, they’re not all the same at all. Also there’s no genocide in Gaza.

                    I have actually read about several genocides and how they unfolded. They are different. There’s quite a range actually.

                    Check out Hutu/Tutsi in Rwanda, Uyghurs, Rohingya, Ngorno-Karabach. All have very distinct characteristics.
