Not to mention that among their rationale for attacking Palestinian support has been stopping antisemitism

Unsurprising to hear that they were projecting about something else

I will take up drinking again for celebratory purposes for one day

It's only recently I've come to the frightening realization that...we're all tensely waiting for World War 3 to start. It HAS started, the fronts just aren't within the traditional empires; and a good 70% of the war is on ideology and propaganda.

What do you mean hysterical headline? He said exactly what the headline said. In the full context he looks stupider but what he said is the same.

Why are you trying to defend a guy saying the Nazis were gooder than Hamas? Why would you ever take that fight unless you are a liar or stupid?

Yeah but he kind of did anyway, reading from what you just posted there. That was an insane ramble

I'm reminded of the initial framework that Auschwitz used for Jews. Many of them came voluntarily, because the Germans were making vague promises of "We're planning a Jewish settlement where you will be safe, and kept separate from the German Aryan future." So I could be reaching, but maybe he's interpreting something around that - the idea of using "nice gestures" (lies) to lure people in and humanize themselves.

Of course, it's a reach in any regard to interpret something coherent from Donald Trump, especially when regarding history.

You're participating in the old good tradition of sanewashing what Trump said. You don't need to interpret that jumble of sounds as charitably as possible, he doesn't deserve it, and he repeatedly showed that he actually means the worst most of the time. He said "nazis showed signs of love to holocaust victims" with his own stupid mouth. You don't need to excuse him by interpreting it as if he didn't say it.

exabrupte

Wow, a new word! Thank you, fellow lemming, for enriching my day.

(As a well-read old fart, it's honestly exciting to come across a completely unfamiliar word.)

We should've stop doing it before he got into the office. Now his ramblings are interpreted by his followers as laws, so you have to pay the most attention possible to it. For your own safety, and for the safety of others.

If the 'Hamas' word was 'Palestinians', maybe. Now it is clear he is talking about the Nazi officers and soldiers.

“Did the, Hamas, show any signs of like, help? Or liking you? Did they wink? Did they give you a piece of bread extra? Did they give you a meal on the side? … Like, you know, what happened in Germany?” Trump said, absurdly comparing the hostages’ situation to the Holocaust, which murdered six million Jews.

Looks like a direct Nazi prison guard comparison to me

I think his odd choice of word is a result of both his limited vocabulary and his narcissism. He has no idea what feeling or expressing love for another person is.

“People would try and help people that were in unbelievable distress,” the president went on, suggesting that the Nazis were known for their generosity.

Sounds like he's talking about Germans in general to me, while the article immediately says that he must mean Nazis.

There's a lot of dumb shit Trump says. I don't think this is one of those things (his comparison between the holocaust and the hostages is still weird, but that's typical "par for the course").
