This is what genocide looks like.
A large and devastating urban battle against the people who planned to do this again, unpleasant though it might have been, is not genocide.
The only similarity between Gaza and the Warsaw Ghetto was the Jews being held there against their will.
Remember that when the enemy makes that comparison, they don’t actually think it’s true.
They’re just trying to strip away the moral authority Jews acquired from the Holocaust and mark us for violence.
That’s the only reason they ever use the word Nazi. Nazism as an ideology was primarily distinguished by its obsessive eliminationist intention towards the Jews. Everything they didn’t like was seen as downstream of Jews.
Therefore, whoever is most like the Nazis in any given situation is whoever is most hostile to Jews, regardless of whatever their other beliefs are.
March 2011, alternate history Arab Spring War
We’re part of a strike package headed to Mezze Airbase in Syria but we encounter far more resistance than expected and some of their MiGs slip past our escorts
So I end up in a dogfight with a Fulcrum while carrying an extra 4,000 pounds of bombs
The most powerful man of Syrian descent in the world isn’t Al Sharaa, it’s Eyal Zamir, IDF Chief of Staff.
As it happens, he’s also the most powerful man in Syria.
I’ve noticed that out of all the Mizrachim, Syrian Jews have the most complicated and conflicted relationship with their former country.
Moroccan Jews still like Morocco. Iraqi Jews despise Iraq with a passion. Iranian Jews hate the IR but are diehard Iranian nationalists.
With Syrian Jews though it’s more complicated. They were the first Syrians to be persecuted by other Syrians for being the wrong kind of Syrian- but then LOTS of Syrians ended up being persecuted by other Syrians for being the wrong kind of Syrian.
So there’s really no point in being vindictive about it anymore.
On one hand Jews can understand the minority communities who found themselves on the side of the authoritarian state to protect themselves from Sunni religious and political domination.
But on the other hand we can understand the Sunnis perspective of then living under a dictatorship that distrusted them on a sectarian basis.
At some point in our history we have been in both of these situations.
That being said, I don’t know many Syrian Jews who have any interest in going back, even if some of them do still hold an affinity for the place.
2,000 years of Jewish life in Syria has ended, because Syrians wanted it to. One of countless ancient Jewish communities wiped out by their own neighbors over just a few decades.
I know Syrians who do truly wish they still had their Jewish community. They’d really come in handy right now. But that ship really has sailed, and we’d all be better served by moving on.
Jordanian counterterrorism and security forces are highly skilled.
Whoever did this will pay dearly.
