Auschwitz Museum Decries Israeli Mayor's 'Sick' Call to 'Empty' Gaza

"The whole Gaza Strip needs to be empty. Flattened. Just like in Auschwitz," Metula Mayor David Azoulai said in a radio interview on Sunday, according toThe Times of Israel. "Let it be a museum for all the world to see what Israel can do. Let no one reside in the Gaza Strip for all the world to see, because October 7 was in a way a second Holocaust."

How blinkered do you have to be to see the Hamas attacks on October 7 as akin to the Holocaust, but not see that your own determination to wipe out the entire people of Gaza resembles the genocidal intent behind the Holocaust?

Zionists and Nazis have disturbing amount of similarities. The whole world knows it.

What one mayor said is only the tip of the iceberg.

You know you failed as a Jewish nation when the very museum dedicated as a reminder of your people's suffering and the holocaust which lead to the creation of your country is telling you you're a sick people.

I know there are many Israelis who are against what's happening and we shouldn't put everyone in the same basket, but man...

I really want the hostages to be returned safely and Hamas to take a hike, but it's hard to have any sympathy for Israel with how they acted towards Palestinians.

SMH, what is the world coming to when the Auschwitz museum is run by an antisemite.

I know the asshat who made the comments was just a nobody hick but I'm ecstatic the museum decided to reply to it.

Ah, so that means the Auschwitz Museum is... checks notes anti-Semitic!

Makes sense.

Here's what everyone should be worried about given this talk:

Israel has nuclear weapons, and the U.S. has worked hard to ensure opposing countries like Iran would not be able to have them.

And now Israel's government is under the thumb of a bunch of genocidal maniacs who don't give a shit about anything.

I'm thinking we all ought to invest in civil defense, or have some kind of plan B.

Dude did not understand the assignment. Auschwitz wasn't made as a memorial. It was made by the Nazis and turned into a memorial later.

To create a new Auschwitz in Gaza as a demonstration of Israeli power is not to create a museum. Well it might be, but it won't be a museum to Israeli power anymore than Auschwitz is one to German power.

"terrorism can never be a response to terrorism."

Great words, but israel is proving them false.

Wow is Israel the new Nazi state?

Im done with this. I say we solomon this shit. If they can decide on who gets the baby or learn to share it, then we glass the whole area with nukes and nobody gets to live there.

Oh my, the Auschwitz Museum is antisemitic?!?!

Boy, you guys really don't like Israel, huh?

yeah yeah idf bad...we all know. but why support gaza...a place with no gay marriage, hardly any women rights, patriachy...overall shit position. the main misunderstanding seems that just because idf is shit, there is absolutely no reason to support gaza. egypt and other muslim "friends" dont do it but the west off all is supposed to root for gaza?!? cant wrap my head around that type of thinking. and wasnt it the arab league that ON DAY ONE of existance of israel held a meeting and made the decision to kill them all? "fRoM zEh rIva2 zeH sEa" is retarded.

Metula, the town the mayor in question governs, is the furthest one away from Gaza that's still actually in Israel. this is like that ex-Obama administration official from a few weeks ago being islamophobic - basically has nothing to do with the situation in Gaza, like, at all.

do some actual journalism, for once?
