No shit. I read a portion of the transcribed interview where the finance minister was talking about this and what he was advocating was mass emigration. That's also super shitty, but it's not at all the same as murdering millions of people.

Forcibly deporting people is genocide

especially when it is not possible for them to emigrate. Forcing Gazans to emigrate to Egypt, when you are neither Gazans nor Egyptians is ridiculous at best. Next will be the Israeli governments saying "we took care of them for this long, now it is domeone else's turn."

So you're saying the Trail of Tears was perfectly fine and not seen as Genocide? I think you're wrong and a blind fool

[-] jimbo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

You tell me. Did I say that it was perfectly fine?

It is essentially the same, it would result in the deaths of thousands. Even the Nazis tried to relocate Jewish people and realized it wasn't feasible. The people advocating for relocation know this.

The "deaths of thousands" is the same as "murdering millions of people"? Seems like you're addressing something other than what I said.

“What we do not understand is that while there were protests against Germany’s defensive action in this field, there was, on the other hand, no willingness to absorb the excess Jewish population emigrating from Germany.”
