Spanish MP Ione Bellare spoke up in Parliament against the genocide in Gaza, asking, ‘What is the difference between what Israel is doing and the Nazi gas chambers?’

The leader of the left-wing party Podemos highlighted Israel’s latest attack on al-Aqsa hospital’s courtyard, where videos showed people burning alive, and the Spanish government’s complicity in doing weapons deals with Israel.

    There were like 2.3 million people living in Gaza and at best guess 42k have been killed. That’s a best guess and most estimates say at least.

    Initially, Germany had around 500k Jewish people. Around 300k of those people were able to flee, although many not far enough. Of the remaining 200k, about 25% were killed in concentration camps or through some other horror.

    As the Nazis gathered more territory, they began the systematic, machine-like murder of European Jews. As a direct example, Poland had over 3 million Jewish people, 90% of them were killed in the Holocaust in concentration camps.

    I don’t think we really need to compare genocides to say this is a genocide, especially not to the Holocaust.
