13. So what word(s) would you use to describe the current situation?

"Jews are the most egregious victims of genocide in the history of the world. Accusing the victims of this crime of committing that same crime belittles the standing of the Jews as victims and at the same time, since the fake humanitarians do not hold themselves accountable to the accuracy of the term in the arbitrary ways they use it, belittles the crime itself."

Couple of ethnic cleansing/genocide actions happening in the world right now, two in Asia and some in Africa.
So the historic events of WW2 aren't unique.
Tragic yes, to be avoided when possible, yes.

But saying Jews were victims of atrocities then, are perpetual victims, and thus justify their current actions, just doesn't seem appropriate.

A lot of genuine humanitarian concerns are for the plight of civilians, irrespective of nationality or religion.
It is not fake.
Nor is it antisemitism. Far from it.

So I'm looking for you to use more appropriate language describing the current situation.
And explain why 'your ass is on the line".
