Stop calling Gaza an “open air prison.”
Prisons are filled with convicted criminals. Prisons have food. Prisons have water. Prisons have electricity. Prisons have medical treatment.
Gaza is not a prison; it is a concentration camp.
If you consume zero calories a day, you have no food. If you consume 800 calories a day, you’ve had some food. I never said anything about the quantity or quality of resources given by the Nazis, but the argument that prisoners in the concentration camps had access to no food, no water, no electricity, and were not legally detained is historically false. If we were talking about the death camps, sure I’d agree with you, but not the concentration camps.
This comment is in no way meant to downplay the atrocities of the Holocaust.
Holy shit shut up. You know what the initial tweet was supposed to mean. If there where to be literally no food in Gaza then Palestinians would all be dead before they could reproduce.
And again in what way would you say that the prisoners were “legally” detained. I hope you are aware that almost all camps were concentration camps and not eradication camps. All my sources exept for ausschwitz are concentration camps. Do you think that people were not killed in concentration camps?
It may be “historically false” to claim that no food physically existed in and around any concentration camp, but it is reasonable to assume that the average person understands the meaning behind “there was no food”.
