A top Hamas political official told The Associated Press the Islamic militant group is willing to agree to a truce of five years or more with Israel and that it would lay down its weapons and convert into a political party if an independent Palestinian state is established along pre-1967 borders.
That’s the fun part about ww2. People in concentration camps makes everything very black and white.
Unless they are brown I guess.
It’s not a concentration camp, it’s just a non-exitable area surrounded by barbed wire with not enough food let in. (mostly /s, the OG camps were worse, but really, is that the bar we want to set?)
Not to dunk on your correct comment but a small conflation many people have: There is a big difference between a Concentration and Termination camp.
Termination camps did the mass extinction and the Holocaust thing of gassing thousands of bodies and throwing them in ovens at a rapid pace.
Concentration camps abused their prisoners for labor. About a million prisoners were worked to death in Concentration camps.
Guess who had cheap labor to abuse while locked up as well?
Yeah, there’s actually a lot of complexity to the Holocaust. I’d say nuance, even, if that didn’t have moral connotations. Auschwitz is the most famous one, but it was exceptional in that it had both extermination and labour centers in the complex. IIRC most Jewish victims didn’t even get the luxury of going to a camp. My ancestral shtetl, at least, would have been the kind where Einsatzgruppen show up and just kill everyone on the spot, however they can think to do so.
