Richard Lawson @docrichard46.bsky.social · 05/05/2025Is it just me, or does anyone else feel that the Israeli aggression against Gazans looks very much like the Nazi aggression against Jews, Romanies and Communists? No actual gassing of course, but the killing, starvation and dehumanisation is very similar 100
