Edit: Everything you post is from Middle East Eye, The American Conservative, or The Mint so “alt media guy” my fucking ass. The Mint for example is just an RT filter of a different name. Propagandist trying to build legitimacy is what it looks like to me.

Or, you know, ACTUAL journalists:

www.minnpost.com/media/…/mystery-mintpress-news/

“­To date, MintPress’ sole moment in the national/international spotlight was a public relations disaster. It involved a hair­-on-­fire scoop, namely that it was the anti-­Assad rebels who had inflicted chemical weapons on Syrian civilians, not Assad’s military.

Unfortunately for MintPress, the blockbuster imploded almost immediately. The by­lined reporter, Dale Gavlak, demanded her name be removed from the story. She asserted that it was actually written by an unnamed Syrian colleague and was never verified, which the ​Strib’s Jon Tevlin reported in 2013. (Tevlin also contacted Muhawesh’s father­-in-­law, a local business man/adjunct professor at St. Thomas who denied being the money behind MintPress.)

Though MintPress could be considered another relatively obscure website with its own particular/peculiar agenda, it has gained a profile in the Twin Cities due to Muhawesh’s energetic self-­promotion. Campuses like Augsburg have brought her in to speak on the question of balance in coverage of the Middle East. A spokeswoman at Augsburg said they knew little more about Muhawesh than that she is the publisher of MintPress, a site sympathetic to Arab issues.”

Failed fact checks, conspiracy theories, “look at meeee!” publicity seeking behavior… They’re a joke of a site, not a news organization.

Not nazis at all. Not in the slightest. Not mirroring everything nazis used to do, including their propaganda.

Nazis used to call “lesser races” rats, lice, vermin etc. Typical nazi rhetoric. Now nazis are calling Palestinians “cockroaches”

See below an example of a nazi propaganda poster. This “doctor” is a perfect example of a nazi, using exactly the same kind of propaganda.

JustJack23@slrpnk.net on 21 May 2025 06:47 collapse

The Holocaust specifically refers to the genocide of the Jewish people during WW2, if we talk about genocides in general there are many around the world:

…wikipedia.org/…/Native_American_genocide_in_the_…

1997-2001.state.gov/…/fs_990331_ksvo_ethnic.html

…wikipedia.org/…/Genocide_of_Indigenous_Australia…

That is not to excuse the people that do it, just to combat the idea that genocide happened once and will never again and only the nazis are capable of it.

The whole imperialist system is built on top of genocide and should be abolished because of it!

MuskyMelon@lemmy.world on 21 May 2025 07:37 next collapse

I’m taking away the term “holocaust” from their exclusive use. There’s no reason why it should be reserved for their genocide by the Nazis that they’re emulating now.

mriormro@lemm.ee on 21 May 2025 11:17 next collapse

To preface: Fuck Israel and the atrocities they are committing in this genocide.

All Jews were specifically targeted during the Holocaust. These people are Israeli. While they happen to be Jewish, don’t conflate the two. It’s verging on actual antisemitic sentiment.

MuskyMelon@lemmy.world on 21 May 2025 11:30 collapse

verging on actual antisemitic sentiment.

Nope, I’m not advocating anything against the Jews nor denying the atrocities that happened to them. I’m just taking away their special noun and using it against Israel.

mriormro@lemm.ee on 21 May 2025 11:36 collapse

You may not be advocating for anything but this is the kind of shit bad actors love to latch on to.

Israel is committing a genocide. Israel’s intent is clear in these atrocities and Israeli’s like this doctor who continue to so outspokenly voice these sentiments paint the very clear picture of the monsters they have become.

I do get where you’re coming from, but when I said equal, I mean from a basic humanitarian standpoint. I truly believe every person on this planet should have what they need to survive. Shelter, clean water and food and a basic means to live in society, whatever that looks like in their area.

Even the person in the video deserves this. However, I personally wouldn’t help them better themselves beyond those basic functions. You do reap what you sow at some point.

Well, top Israeli politicians have been calling Palestinians (not Hamas, Palestinians) “human animals” for quite a while now, so it’s not at all surprising to seen plenty of Israelis use this and other variants of untermenschen.

Dehumanizing the targeted ethnicity is an essential part of ethno-Fascism and Genocide along ethnic lines, especially the ones were the aggressors want to do a little Holocausting.

Meanwhile Germany “unwaveringly supports” this.

Meanwhile, the actual German position:

Israel has now fully blocked the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza for over fifty days. Essential supplies are either no longer available or quickly running out. Palestinian civilians - including one million children –face an acute risk of starvation, epidemic disease and death. This must end. We urge Israel to immediately re-start a rapid and unimpeded flow of humanitarian aid to Gaza in order to meet the needs of all civilians. During the last ceasefire, the UN and INGO system was able to deliver aid at scale. The Israeli decision to block aid from entering Gaza is intolerable. Minister Katz’s recent comments politicising humanitarian aid and Israeli plans to remain in Gaza after the war are unacceptable – they harm prospects for peace. Humanitarian aid must never be used as a political tool and Palestinian territory must not be reduced nor subjected to any demographic change. Israel is bound under international law to allow the unhindered passage of humanitarian aid.

Humanitarians must be able to deliver aid to those who need it most, independent of parties to the conflict and in accordance with their humanitarian principles. Israel must ensure unhindered access for the UN and humanitarian organisations to operate safely across Gaza. Hamas must not divert aid for their own financial gain or use civilian infrastructure for military purposes.

We reiterate our outrage at recent strikes by Israeli forces on humanitarian personnel, infrastructure, premises and healthcare facilities. Israel must do much more to protect the civilian population, infrastructure and humanitarian workers. This includes restoring deconfliction systems, allowing humanitarian workers free movement within Gaza. And Israel must prevent harm to medical personnel and premises in the course of their military operations. They must allow the urgent healthcare needs of the population to be met, while allowing the sick and wounded to temporarily leave the Gaza Strip to receive treatment.

Crucially, we urge all parties to return to a ceasefire. We continue to call on Hamas for the immediate release of all the remaining hostages, who are enduring terrible suffering. We must all work towards the implementation of a two-state solution, which is the only way to bring long-lasting peace and security to both Israelis and Palestinians and ensure long-term stability in the region.
