    10 million lived awful lives no better than that of the Jews in concentration camps.

    Source?

    living in work camps for 20 generations spanning 350 years.

    Source?

    Never has there been any compensation paid to descendants of slavery

    I’ll let you have this one

    Even today, there is still compensation paid to descendants of Holocaust victims, and the time difference between the end of slavery and the Holocaust is less than that between the Holocaust and today.

    So? The US is in the wrong for not compensating, Germany is actually trying at least.

    not the 20 million Slavs.

    We’re discussing the Holocaust perpetuated by the Nazi regime against Jewish people and other so-called ‘undesireable’ humans, not Stalin’s crimes against the people he was ostensibly responsible for. Stay on topic.

    Even though Slavs are a more homogeneous ethnic group than Jews. It was just inconvenient during the cold war to see the USSR and its citizens as a victim worthy of compensation.

    Why are you using ethnic homogeneity as an argument in your favor? Especially when trying to minimize the Jewish Holocaust in favor of painting the USSR as the victim‽

    The Nazi’s never had popular democratic support for the war and genocide

    The Germans of WW2 never reached that level of moral depravity, only a few Nazi’s did

    Source? Pretty sure we had some pretty public trials over those claims already.

    I don’t even disagree with you about Gaza, you’ve just got incredibly shit takes on history.
