Canada closes embassy in Iran, expels Iranian diplomats

[Pirian]

People who make these comparisons don't understand just how systematized (and horrifyingly efficient) the Nazi's ethnic cleansing was. Nor do they understand the sheer number of people they killed.

Hyperbole is hyperbole.

And I'm thinking that you're forgetting just how clueless 99% of the German civilian population was about said activities.

The Iraqi death count in the past 2 wars with the Americans is hovering around one million dead. That number is higher than the Rwanda body count. Sure it's not Auschwitz, but it's not that far off.

2 wars (One of them completely legit, the other arguably legit) equals one death camp, albeit the largest. Of six major death camps, with unknown numbers of smaller camps and non-camp exterminations. See what I mean about hyperbole? Assuming similar casualty rate, we'd need to fight another 4 wars to match the death camps alone, let alone the other civilian casualties inflicted by the Nazis. Seriously, the Nazis did this shit on such an unimaginable scale and with such ruthless efficiency, the comparison is just stupid.

[Pirian]

Well, I guess as long as we're not outdoing the Nazi's then we're doing alright

[BaneTheBrawler]

I'd say as long as we're not even in the same league as the Nazis, we're doing all right.

[Pirian]

Then I think you're missing the point

[Rhyis.]

It doesn't count until you hit the 3 million mark.

I truly enjoy when someone claims Israel is a terrorist nation, but supports US foreign policy, or vice versa, supports Israel but denounces the US.

Then I think you're missing the point

So are you. I did it on purpose. Can you say the same? American foreign policy might be less than noble, but to compare it to the Nazis in that way is deliberately disingenuous and belittles the people who do actually suffer from genocide campaigns.

[Churchill]

You mean like the Iranian populace

[test123]

Now now, US soldiers are just international corporate employees with guns.

[BaneTheBrawler]

You mean like the Iranian populace

Maybe. Dunno. Not sure how that's relevant to my point (which I can only assume is where your comment is directed, since my post is sandwiched by yours) either way, though. The facebook post I was referring to mentioned only Iraqi citizens, and referred to the deaths of civilians as genocide (two distinct things, which can overlap but are definitely not the same). I was pointing out that the comparison to the Nazis is not honest, helpful, or appropriate, even if the (extremely arguable) case can be made that it is genocide.

Edit: If your comment was directed more generally, as an attempt to rerail the thread... carry on.

Well, good to see the American stupid bug is finally bleeding into Canada. They managed to resist it for a decent amount of time.

Canada has been extremely pro Israel/Zionist for a while. It's actually surprising they didn't do this sooner. They already outlawed saying anything bad about israel as being racial bigotry.

I'm sure you're one of the people that don't think there has a genocide in Rwanda, Darfur, and Cambodia (just to name a few since the Holocaust). Just because the Nazi's did it best doesn't mean that it isn't a genocide until the death toll reaches those numbers, or because it isn't carried out in such a systematic way.

What did you guys do to my thread :<

made it mind-numbingly fucking retarded

'America foreign policy is nazi genocide'

do these people even know what genocide is

do you know how easy it would be for us if we wanted to genocide a people

not stay in their nation for years and years trying to convince them to stop killing each other and building fucking schools

Best post you've ever made.



Or not, I don't exactly keep track of your posts lol.

But still, A+

[hey]

That's just an excuse.

You're wrong. Again. I do believe there's been genocide in those places. Because the evidence is more than just "civilians died!"

What the U.S. is doing is not genocide, whether you like it or not. To say it is belittles those who've actually been victims of genocide.
