TRENDING:

The Left Doesn’t Care About ‘Genocide,’ They’re Only Interested In How The Word Sways Public Opinion

Olivier Melnick Author

For reasons that upset me more than they escape me, many liberal thinkers and neo-democrats are trying hard to describe some of the events taking place in Gaza under Benjamin Netanyahu and in America under newly re-elected President Trump as Nazi-influenced. The Holocaust and the Death Camps are being mentioned regularly, not in an attempt to deny their existenceโ€“a positive in and of itselfโ€“but to compare current events to the most horrific genocide in the history of mankind. This has to stop!

Israel has been repeatedly accused of committing genocide in Gaza. Within a week or less after October 7, 2023, soon after the world initially expressed concern and sadness about the Hamas invasion of southern Israel, the narrative started to change, and it shifted very quickly toward accusing Israel of killing innocent Palestinians at a genocidal level.

Nobody agrees on what constitutes genocide by numbers. Some will argue that 25% or more of a people group has to be destroyed to constitute genocide, but it is unclear., Theย UN Genocide Conventionย states:ย โ€œany of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

(a) Killing members of the group;
(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.โ€

In other words, numbers are not necessarily taken into consideration, but the keyword here is intent. In the case of Israel, if numbers were taken into consideration, the 25% death toll would not be reached by a long shot. Measured by intent, Israel is even in a better place as the Jewish state has gone above and beyond to protect and save lives. Israel’s moves against Hamas or other terrorists go against conventional warfare in so many ways. The IDF always warns civilians of impending attacks on buildings or neighborhoods with ample time for people to vacate. It is Hamas that keeps people in. Who is committing genocide now?

But it is not just Israel; America under Trump is also accused of all kinds of ills connecting President Trump and his administration to a neo-Nazi methodology and a neo-Holocaust agenda. Before anyone attempts to describe contemporary decisions, events, and executive orders as Nazi or Holocaust-related, please see if these events include any of the following criteria:

โ€ข Forced labor
โ€ข Starvation
โ€ข Electrified fences
โ€ข Beatings
โ€ข Torture
โ€ข Random Shootings
โ€ข Tattooed identification number
โ€ข No bathrooms
โ€ข Firing squads
โ€ข Diseases
โ€ข No doctors

And that is only a few of the elements you would find in Nazi concentration camps. These camps were designed to corral Jews in large numbers and create a war, forced-labor contingency. The work conditions and lack of food and hygiene were such that they quickly became death camps, and that is even before the full implementation of the “Final Solution to the Jewish Question” with the running of places like Auschwitz-Birkenau. When the death camps were implemented, you could add these to the list:

โ€ข Mass shooting in Jewish-dug communal graves
โ€ข Gas chambers
โ€ข Crematoria
โ€ข Gruesome experiments on inmates, including babies and pregnant women
โ€ข Collecting gold teeth from cadavers
โ€ข Long death marches in the snow

Yet, one of the most obvious differences between the Nazi Death Camps and ICE’s detention centers or illegal alien expulsion is how people got inside the camps. During the Holocaust years, the Nazi war machine was systematically rounding-up Jews outside of Germany, all over Europe through the railway system. They [the Nazis] went out of their way to gather Jews, put them on trains and send them to the camps. Let me repeat myself…the people were hunted down to be put in forced labor camps and later in death camps…They were not sent back to their countries of origin; THEY WERE HUNTED DOWN and brought back to their inevitable deaths. In that sense, the Holocaust was unique.

In the case of today’s mass deportations, illegals are not taken to their death but sent back to their place of origin. They are not starved, beaten, tortured, shot, tattooed or gassed. So, please STOP with the comparisons!

When trying to compare any of what happens today to the Holocaust, it seems that the real hidden agenda is to get the uneducated masses to empathize with the “new victims,” ignoring historical truth. How ironic that the only event remotely comparable to the Holocaust on a much smaller scaleโ€“the Hamas Pogrom of October 7 in Israelโ€“is completely ignored!

1,200 people were murdered by Hama, but Palestinians want the Jewish State to become free Palestine from the River to the Sea, in other words, 100% free of Jews. Now, that’s GENOCIDE, but unfortunately, it doesn’t fit the current narrative.

In-Depth: The Iranian Protesters May Have Ignited A Firestorm, But Will The Regime Be Reduced To Ashes?

Decapitation or capitulation? Does Trump lop off the Islamist head of the regime or continue to exert maximum pressure to force behavioral change? Any viable strategy must take into account the nature of the ayatollahโ€™s regime. Pride, ideology, and survival define it. An outcome perceived as outright defeat would be intolerable. Any loss must therefore be framed โ€“ however implausibly โ€“ as victory, or the regime will be unable to accept it or survive internally. Scripture reminds us that pride goes before destruction, yet pride also blinds leaders to reality.

Though Its Implications Are Overwhelming, The Sound Doctrine Of Hell Is Vitally Important

With that terse observation, the late church historian Martin Marty summarized our attitude toward a vanishing doctrine that received a great deal of attention in previous generations. Hell is scarcely mentioned in most evangelical churches today. I must ask: When is the last time you heard a sermon or a serious Bible lesson on the topic? Sometimes it is given a quick mention, but yes, Marty is right, hell has disappeared, and we didnโ€™t even notice.

Wednesday, January 14th: A Call To Prayer Andย Repentance For America

If you think our nation is in trouble now, just waitโ€ฆ As our streets boil over with hate, anger, crime, drugs, and just sheer hopelessness, is there something we can do? You bet there is. I would like to call for a time of prayer and repentance thisย Wednesday, January 14, at 12:00 noon. As a nation our sins are so great. We have increasingly turned our backs on God and His commands, embracing godless secularism. We need to ask His forgiveness and seek His face.
