Tamimi: 'We will drink your blood; what Hitler did to you was a joke'
"You will say that what Hitler did to you was a joke - come on, we are waiting for you," Palestinian political activist Ahed Tamimi said.
Her Instagram post, translated in the link:
“Come on settlers, we will slaughter you. We are waiting for you in all the cities of the West Bank. What Hitler did to you was a picnic. We will drink your blood and eat your skulls”
She has since been arrested:

Daft cow
How would you deal with armed settlers kicking your family out of your home at gunpoint? Sounds like you don’t understand the situation in the West Bank, a location with negligible Hamas presence. Over 50 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli settlers and IDF agents sent to help them enforce their colonization.

Not by saying "What Hitler did to you will be like a picnic".
Still haven’t told me what you’d do. Answer the question directly instead of deflecting. Imagine your family has been run off their ancestral home and your father was shot in the head by Israeli settlers. Imagine then the IDF backing these settlers up, giving them government approval. Now be honest and ask yourself if it would be easy to remain reasonable and understanding of the opposition at this point.
The way they express this idea is violent and unacceptable but the sentiment didn’t appear in a vacuum. The circumstances that breed this have been very deliberately placed upon Palestinians by extreme Zionists in the Israeli government.
Why ask a question that you know the answer to but you don’t like?
Would you also think it’s unreasonable to evacuate when a volcano eruption is imminent in your ancestral home or do you insist to fight the eruption until your last men dies?

Are you likening the wanton destruction Israel is propagating the specific scenario you replied to, both of which are decisions made by men, to a natural act of destruction which cannot be controlled or fought against?
Because that would be a comically bad metaphor.
No. I crafted my answer in a way that made it more difficult for you to deflect. Can you answer?
I crafted my answer
...poorly.
Yes you do answer poorly. At least I showed others you are not arguing in good faith and you are here to promote your agenda. Bye.
Just so we're clear, I'm not the guy you were arguing with. Doesn't change your shitty metaphor though.
I’m asking for a real answer not myopic snark. I didn’t ask what you wouldn’t do, I asked what you WOULD do. The irony of you accusing that other person of being disingenuous when that’s your entire perspective. Pathetically transparent.
Israel isn’t an earthquake or a volcano. They are a government run by humans. Unlike a natural disaster, they can dial down the brutality anytime they want. Like the other commenter said, your analogy is so fundamentally flawed it’s amazing you’re defending it with such unearned confidence.
How about instead of a volcano it’s a ship of Europeans trying to enslave your people and take your land? You probably don’t like that because it doesn’t let you absolve the Israeli government of responsibility for their own human decisions.
