Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a message of support Thursday for Elon Musk after the world’s richest man was accused of making a Nazi salute.

Musk “is being falsely smeared,” Netanyahu wrote on X, the social media platform owned by Musk. “Elon is a great friend of Israel. He visited Israel after the October 7 massacre… [and] has since repeatedly and forcefully supported Israel’s right to defend itself against genocidal terrorists and regimes who seek to annihilate the one and only Jewish state.”

Musk later thanked Netanyahu.

Didn't police beat israeli protesters in Tel aviv for cease fire? Isn't israeli police always beat anti zionism ultra orthodox.

Do you really believe protests like these would have been possible in Nazi Germany? Like the Gestapo would've just been "yeah, that's fine."

Is this silliness coming from tik tok or are we really this ignorant nowadays?

[–] small44@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Like i already said, many of those protestors was beaten by Israeli police. No matter how much you deny it it is a fact thst israel is using very similar methods as nazi against the group of people they treated as animals deserving to be killed

[–] Lauchs@lemmy.world -5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

That wasn't what I asked.

Again, could you see these protests actually happening at all in Nazi Germany?

[–] small44@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Yes, there was protests against Nazis during Hitler reign like Rosenstrasse. You keep making minor points and ignoring all the similar terrible stuffs done Israel and the nazis

[–] Lauchs@lemmy.world -4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

That's the one protest, as the Reich was falling, reeling from the defeat in Stalingrad. And there were plans floated about simply shooting all the protesters.

Again, it's just nonsense to declare Israel is now a nazi country. Fascism is very different than what Israel is.

Doing terrible things doesn't make one a nazi, and claiming it does makes you look like a child.

I only answered your question, I never said that pretestors in nazi germany was not brutalized. If the comparison was made based on Israel treatment of there own citizens I would agree but here we are talking about Israeli treatment of Palestinians vs Nazi treatment of Jews

[–] Lauchs@lemmy.world -5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

If you'll go back to the start, you'll remember the whole thread was about the stupidity of calling Netenyahu a nazi.

By your logic, anyone that attacks a group of people on any group characteristics is a nazi. Which is goddamn nonsense.

I get the appeal of calling people doing bad things nazis, but you sound like a child doing so. Worse, it makes it much more difficult for anyone to take our side seriously. (Same way that it is fucking stupid when trump called Harris a communist.)

My workday is done and you aren't worth my free time.

Have a good weekend.

Natanyaho who compared palestinians to amalek. I never heard such a more clear genocidal statement as that. The bible talks about israelites being asked to kill women, infants and animal. He is responsible of killed ten thousands palestinians, displacing millions and create a famine so yeah the comparison is fair.

No my logic is a group of people trying to genocide or ethenically cleansing another population can be compared to nazis

Trust me nobody would stop being pro palestinian because natanyaho and israel are compared to nazis

I am the one who wasted my time showing all the valid comparisons while you keep bringing irelevant stuffs like democracy. It is reminds me of zionists using the democracy argument to say that there is genocide
