      Was Adolf Hitler convicted for the Holocaust?

      Were slave owners in the US convicted for crimes against humanity?

      If they weren’t, then I am powerless to do anything but defend their innocence. I am very smart.

        Okay then, what criteria should I use for determing if someone committed a war crime? I assume the floor is considerably lower, unless you think compulsory service puts her on the level of Hitler.

          Maybe consider whether or not they have served in a military that’s been a genocidal occupation force since its inception?

              So, every Jew in Israel is a war criminal?

              I said nothing of the sort you disingenuous fucking worm. Zionism and Judaism are not the same thing and nobody but you is claiming this. Participating in a genocidal military makes you a war criminal. That’s it. It has nothing to do with anyone’s religious views, and your constant insistence to the contrary is a shining example of the very antisemitism you are trying to accuse everyone else of.

                  I didn’t claim they were the same you ignoramus.

                  That’s literally all you’ve been doing.

                  Us: Zionism is bad, actually.

                  You, every time: Oh so you hate Jews?

                  It’s not actually mandatory - out of the 4 Jewish Israelis I’ve volunteered with only 1 had served in the IDF, the other 3 found nonmilitary ways to complete their national service, doing things like teaching instead. Not all Jewish Israelis are war criminals. Not all Jewish Israelis even support the existence of the state of Israel.
