Zionists worked with the Nazi's before WW2 to 'encourage' Jews to move to Palestine. They both agreed that Jews didn't belong in Europe.
The original Bellamy salute, first described in 1892 by Francis Bellamy, who authored the original Pledge, began with a military salute, and after reciting the words "to the flag," the arm was extended toward the flag.
At a signal from the Principal the pupils, in ordered ranks, hands to the side, face the Flag. Another signal is given; every pupil gives the flag the military salute — right hand lifted, palm downward, to a line with the forehead and close to it. Standing thus, all repeat together, slowly, "I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands; one Nation indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all." At the words, "to my Flag," the right hand is extended gracefully, palm upward, toward the Flag, and remains in this gesture till the end of the affirmation; whereupon all hands immediately drop to the side.
- The Youth's Companion, 1892
Shortly thereafter, the pledge was begun with the right hand over the heart, and after reciting "to the Flag," the arm was extended toward the Flag, palm-down.
In World War II, the salute too much resembled the Nazi salute, so it was changed to keep the right hand over the heart throughout.
'Dangerous Precedent': Record AIPAC Spending Helps George Latimer Defeat Jamaal Bowman
"Jamaal and our movement were such a threat to right-wing power, to GOP megadonors, and to AIPAC's influence in Congress that they had to spend $15 million to defeat us," said one progressive organizer.
So AIPAC and Dems did this, not "because he sounded too much like he was supporting Hamas" what ever the fuck that BS is.
No mention of Hillary Clinton endorsing the AIPAC candidate.

"The other guy is worse than me" is not such a winning strategy, but I guess it works for the #VoteBlueNoMatterGenocide crowd.
We have to support the genocide OVER THERE so we don't have genocide OVER HERE!

there's so many to chose from though
They are not the same, one is happening right now as I type this. The other is in the past, unable to be changed. Time is linear like that. The point of the meme is that the place where the Nazis were celebrated THEN is NOW celebrating another genocide in progress.
The subtleties of the same picture meme are lost on you.
Calling out how the West wants to call one thing a genocide that is clearly not, while also saying something is definitely not a genocide when it clearly is, that's called pointing out hypocrisy.
The world can see it. That's why there is so much green on the 2nd map.
"genociding people is bad" is such a hot take it makes past genocides look better than they actually were
This is the logical equivalent of a dog chasing its own tail.

The Myth of Tiananmen And the price of a passive press
June 4, 2010
A few people may have been killed by random shooting on streets near the square, but all verified eyewitness accounts say that the students who remained in the square when troops arrived were allowed to leave peacefully. Hundreds of people, most of them workers and passersby, did die that night, but in a different place and under different circumstances.
The Chinese government estimates more than 300 fatalities. Western estimates are somewhat higher. Many victims were shot by soldiers on stretches of Changan Jie, the Avenue of Eternal Peace, about a mile west of the square, and in scattered confrontations in other parts of the city, where, it should be added, a few soldiers were beaten or burned to death by angry workers.

SATX Social Ride has partnered with Hill Country Ghost Bikes, a group that makes bike memorials at the sites of deadly crashes, to make one large altar for the dozens of community members killed while riding for this Día de los Muertos.
>San Antonio is the country’s 16th most deadly U.S. city for bicyclists, altars hope to raise awareness
>“It’s very hard for me every day. It’s like it was yesterday when he left us,” Enriquetta Amaya said.
>It’s been fifteen years since Amaya’s older brother, Fernando Amaya, was killed while cycling.
>“On August 25th of 2008, at 7 a.m. in the morning on his way to work,” Amaya said. “He was run over by a careless driver. He was on his bike on his way to work.”
>Fernando was 42 years old and had been a deputy with the Hays County Sheriff’s Office for 15 years. He loved to bike, but loved his family more, taking care of all of his siblings.
>“He was like a father to me,” Amaya said. “He always made sure that we were taken care of.”
>It’s why for the past several years on Día de los Muertos, Amaya has put an altar together for her brother, with special care to honor and remember him, but also to raise awareness for the many other cyclists who get killed each year in our area by drivers. She isn’t alone. SATX Social Ride, a bike-riding group that promotes safe social riding, has also made an altar for the many members of the community that have been killed while cycling.
>“On average, we lose four or five people a year to cycling incidents in traffic,” Jeff Moore, leader of SATX Social Ride said.
>San Antonio is the country’s 16th most-deadly U.S. city for bicyclists, according to an analysis of U.S. Department of Transportation Fatality Analysis Reporting System data by CarInsurance.org.
>It’s why the organization partnered with Hill Country Ghost Bikes, a group that makes bike memorials at the sites of deadly crashes, to make one large altar for the dozens of community members killed while riding for this Día de los Muertos.
>“We have one person who is six years old, on up to 70-year-old people,” Moore said.
>They hope these altars remember their loved ones, but also remind drivers to be vigilant for cyclists on the roads.
>“It’s very important that we put a human face for the community to see who cyclists really are,” Moore said.
>Amaya echoes that awareness.
>“Look out for the cyclers, look out for the people walking just so that those people don’t have to go through what we’re going through,” Amaya said.
>You can see both of these altars at the Día de los Muertos Festival this Saturday and Sunday at Hemisfair.
>Fernando’s family and the cycling community will also be part of the procession at the Muertos Fest honoring their loved ones.
