i think a lot of the socio-political and historical analysis of why people might compare zionists to the nazis, whether in terms of authoritarianism and far-right regimes and in the relevant context of history, as well as the accusation that it is inappropriate or antisemitic, both miss a significant aspect of the comparison in and of itself

when arabs or palestinians compare zionists to nazis, gaza to the holocaust, it's also because they're aware that israelis and the western world at least grasp the horrors of the holocaust. they're aware that this was universally understood as an atrocity, and so they are trying to make this appeal because they think this is one of the few comparisons that the western mind can comprehend in the first place.

in arabic i have heard zionists compared to the mongols and tatars, to the crusaders, to the colonial british, to the american settlers and later to the americans in iraq. does any of that mean anything to the western perspective? they've never acknowledged the full depth of these atrocities in the first place. the nazis are one of many comparisons that have been drawn in the arab world, usually used for irony. but people are aware that the rest mean nothing to the ones responsible for arming and empowering israel.

instead there is a sense (however true or untrue—and it is mostly untrue) that the west understood the visceral horror of the holocaust and a sense that those responsible for it were held accountable in ways few others have due to that. and so this comparison, on a human level, is often made just to communicate in the first place. it's basically saying "i'm trying to speak your language, you are the monster to me that this monster was to you, do you understand me now?"

Urgent Request: Help Needed for My Mom’s Cancer Surgery

Dear everyone,

I'm reaching out to you with a heavy heart and a plea for help in the face of an overwhelming challenge. For almost two years, my mom has been in a fierce battle against cancer, fighting with all her strength and courage. However, 15th of March brought devastating news: the cancer has spread to her cervix, and she urgently needs surgery.

The cost of the surgery is staggering, and despite our efforts to crowdfund, we've only managed to raise $45 in over two weeks. With nowhere else to turn, I'm faced with the difficult decision of parting with some of my mom's cherished plants, hoping to raise the funds needed for her treatment.

With each donation of $10 or more, you not only contribute to her life-saving surgery but also have the opportunity to request one of her beloved plants attached to this post.

Every contribution, no matter how small, will make a difference in our fight against cancer and bring us one step closer to ensuring my mom gets the treatment she desperately needs. Please consider donating and sharing this post with your friends and family to help spread the word.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness, generosity, and support during this difficult time.

PS - Two weeks ago my big sister(Ms. Jay) started this campaign (She raised the $45) before her URL got bagged! Prior to that, family, friends and Plant communities had help sustain her treatment using the same link.
