I didn’t ask you read it, I asked you to listen.
It’s not a propaganda piece, it’s factual history.
Anyway if you don’t want to listen that’s fine. I’ll recount a story from it.

The Jews, families, were made to queue. As they moved along the queue they were ordered to undress at stations by SS. 1st remove all jewellery, 2nd shoes, 3rd clothing. As they got closer to the mound of Earth they could hear gun fire.
Behind the mound, was a massive pit with steps cut into the Earth. Sat on the edge of the pit was an SS soldier with a machine gun firing into the pit.
After his salvo had finished the next group were ordered into pit. The man held the hand of his nine year son and whispered into ear and pointed to the sky, the woman held the two year old in her arms, grandparents and adolescents held each other.
Some already in the pit were still writhing around not yet dead. The group were ordered to lay down on the bodies already in the pit, and the SS soldier fired off another salvo.

Gaza is terrible on its own merits but it is nothing compared to the holocaust and should never ever try to be equated to it. That my point.

It’s not a ranking, it an equivalence that is trying to be pushed, where there absolutely isn’t one.
