People keep comparing the war in Gaza with the Holocaust, and calling Gaza a “genocide”.
Between 1941-1945, 6,000,000 Jews were massacred in the Holocaust. Averaged out over the duration of the Holocaust, this works out to about 10% of the global population of Jews murdered each year of the Holocaust. Within the 3 year mark, about 31% of the global population of Jews had been wiped out.
Between Oct 8, 2023 and today, it’s estimated that 75,000 Palestinians have died in the war. Assuming that at least 20,000 of those have been a Hamas, averaged out over the 37 months of the was so far, this works out to 0.17% of the global population of Palestinians killed each year of the war. After. 3 years, 0.50% of the global population of Palestinians have died in the war. And this includes terrorists and other combatants.
The death rate of the Jews during the Holocaust was over 5800% higher than the death rate of Palestinians during the war in Gaza.
Zero equivalency.
But it’s not all about the numbers.
Prior to the Holocaust, the Jews were enjoying peace. Prior to the war in Gaza, the Palestinians were enjoying peace.
The Jews did nothing to start the Holocaust.
The Palestinians started the war in Gaza by attacking Israel and viciously massacring innocent victims.
Zero equivalency.
But I know there are people who will say it didn’t start on Oct 7, and while they’re correct in that the conflict has gone on much longer, this current war started Oct. 7. By the Palestinians.
In the Holocaust, there was nothing in the world the Jews could have done to get the Nazis to stop. The Nazis were hell bent on destroying the Jewish race, that was their goal. If the Palestinians wanted this war to end, the terrorists that control the region just have to surrender. The goal of Israel is to bring peace to the region.
There is zero equivalency between the Holocaust and the war in Gaza, and using the word Holocaust to describe or attempt to define that war is a disgrace to the memory of the 6,000,000 Jews massacred in the Holocaust, and is reprehensible. It is being used to intentionally cause hurt and pain, to attempt to delegitimize the actual Holocaust, and to gain sympathy for a war that the Palestinians started.
There is zero genocide in Gaza. None of the actions by the IDF meet the criteria for the legal definition of genocide, other than what the propaganda is trying to make people believe. The casualty rates are lower than any war, aid has been sent in, but stolen by the government of Gaza, civilians have been warned to evacuate.
The entire intent of everything Hamas and the Palestinians are doing is to gain public sympathy for their “cause”.
Their cause is destroying Israel and Jews, and conquering the world.
Stop helping them.

Two months ago, Javier Bardem told his followers to boycott Adidas because it partnered with a disabled Israeli man.
Now, he's starring in a film by an Israeli filmmaker.
According to Bardem, the Adidas campaign was unacceptable because it featured Shalev Biton, an Israeli who lost his leg when he was wounded on the Gaza border in 2021. He shared posts calling Biton a war criminal and a "genocidal demon."
Except Biton was injured while guarding inside Israel's borders, hardly a "war crime." He spent the years since becoming a powerful advocate for disability rights. The Adidas campaign advertised a service that lets amputees buy a single shoe. Adidas ended up apologizing for the ad.
This week, Lionsgate announced that Bardem will star in Wet, a new film written and directed by Alma Har'el, an Israeli filmmaker who was born and raised in Tel Aviv.
It might seem strange for Bardem to lead a global shaming campaign against an Israeli who advertised inclusion, and then happily accept a job opportunity from an Israeli making a star-studded film.
But it makes sense when you remember that all of his decisions are based on one thing. Opportunism.

David Schwimmer was featured in an ad for a clothing brand, and if you think the comments were normal, I'm sorry to say that's not the timeline we are living in anymore.
While some may have enjoyed Schwimmer wearing his iconic red sweater again, most commentators were furious that Quince would partner with a Jew-sorry, "Zionist."

Over the weekend, I traveled to Berlin with a delegation of constituents to commemorate the 88th anniversary of Kristallnacht, the Nazi-organized pogrom that saw the widespread destruction of Jewish businesses and synagogues, foreshadowing the horrors of the Holocaust.
I never imagined returning to America to discover that, during the same week as Kristallnacht’s anniversary, extremists had organized a boycott of Jewish businesses, declaring, “These Zionist establishments must go.”
We are unlearning the lessons of history at great peril not only to our Jewish brothers and sisters but also to ourselves.

88 years ago tonight, Nazi mobs tore through Jewish communities across Germany and Austria, burning synagogues and smashing the windows of Jewish homes and shops. By morning, 91 Jews had been murdered and about 30,000 Jewish men were headed for concentration camps.
Kristallnacht didn’t come out of nowhere. It followed years of hate that too many people shrugged off. Antisemitism is making a comeback today, and I won’t shrug it off.
I’ll keep calling it out wherever it shows up, so my kids grow up in a world where Kristallnacht stays in the history books.

Poland: 95 in 100 Jews murdered. Whole towns erased. That’s genocide.
Gaza: about 3 in 100 killed in a war Hamas started. That’s war. And not genocide.
If you can’t tell the difference, you don’t want to.

It is heartbreaking to see antisemitism in my hometown. I was born in Wyncote, near Philadelphia, and it makes me angry and ashamed to see hatred tolerated there.
The numbers show this is not an abstract concern. The Anti-Defamation League recorded 465 antisemitic incidents across Pennsylvania in 2024, an 18% increase over 2023. It tracked 189 incidents in Philadelphia and 51 in Montgomery County. These reports include harassment, vandalism, and assault; they are not all classified as crimes. (adl.org, philadelphia.adl.org)
Hateful expression harms more than its immediate target. In a 2025 survey of Jewish Americans, 79% said they were concerned about antisemitism, and 52% said they had worried about their personal safety because of their identity. Nearly half reported taking steps to increase their security. A research review also found that exposure to hate is associated with worse psychological well-being, more negative stereotypes, and less trust between groups. (philadelphia.adl.org, pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)
It takes me back to the racism I experienced in the 1960s: signs throughout the South declaring that Black people could be refused service, along with separate “white” and “colored” signs on bathrooms and drinking fountains,”no niggers”. I remember what that hatred looked and felt like. We cannot accept it in any form, directed at any people.
I wish I could be there to stand with those protesting HATE. I am asking elected officials and other leaders in Philadelphia: Where are the clear statements condemning antisemitism? When hateful language is excused or repeated, it can make hostility seem acceptable and deepen fear and division. Leaders should speak plainly and consistently: antisemitism and hate have no place in our communities.
What the hell? We have to speak up.

A Black woman and a Jewish man said boycotting Jewish businesses is antisemitic. So this account called them Nazis.
They are openly calling the mayor of Philadelphia and the governor of Pennsylvania, Nazis.
Since they can't stop Jews from existing in Philadelphia, they'll call anyone who defends us a Nazi. The word is nothing to them except a weapon.

The traffic cases against Brandon Aiyuk remain open, according to the Santa Clara County database. A warrant was issued for Aiyuk's arrest in June. It stemmed from when Aiyuk sped by Levi's Stadium and posted video of it on YouTube
